ESC PROGRAMMING
Ver. 1.0
Ver. 1.0
IMPORTANT NOTE: Calibration is necessary for the first use of the ESC, or whenever
used with a new/different transmitter.
Individual transmitter's signals for full throttle, full brake and neutral vary. You must
calibrate your ESC so that it will operate more effectively with you transmitter.
From this point on, when you connect batteries and turn on the switch, the ESC will
give the initialization tone, and the arming tone will ring second or two later. If the ESC
is programmed for the Auto-Lipo setting, it will beep the number of cells in you Lipo
pack between the initialization tones and the arming tones. After the arming tone plays,
the ESC will ACTIVE and will respond to the throttle application.
ESC/TRANSMITER CALIBRATION
For users with a Futaba Transmitter, you must reverse the throttle channel signal on
your transmitter. Please refer to your Futaba instructions.
The motor beeping, indicating it's time to push full brake.
Move throttle trigger to full brake and wait few seconds,
the motor rings 1second indicating full brake measure.
The motor beeping, indicating it's time for neutral. Relax
trigger to neutral (center). The motor will now ring 1 second
to accept the neutral position.
The motor ring one second indicating that it is armed.
How to Calibrate ESC
ESC switch OFF.
Turn on the Transmitter.
Hold full throttle on your transmitter and turn the ESC's switch
ON. Keep holding full throttle on the transmitter. The ESC ring
the initialization tones.
Wait 2 seconds
The motor will rings 1 second indicating full throttle measured.
Manual Programming Turnigy Aquastar is as simple as answering a few questions.The
Turnigy Aquastar asks questing by beeping a setting number, followed by the possible setting
values. There are eight settings that can be programmed in the Turnigy Aquastar.
1)Manual Programming
You must answer "yes" or "no" to the setting values as they are presented by Turnigy Aquastar.
When you enter programming mode the ESC will emit a sequence of beeps that tell
you which programming step you are in. There are two parts to the beep sequence.
The first set of beeps indicates the 'Setting Number (Question), e.g. Reverse
Type, and the second set of beeps indicates a Setting Value, e.g. Reverse Lockout.
Answering "No" to a Setting value will cause the ESC to ask for the next value in that
section. After a "Yes" answer is accepted, the ESC knows you aren't interested in any
other option in that section, so it skips to the first option in the next section.
Note: If you answer "no" to all Setting Values for a particular Setting Number, the ESC
will keep whatever value had been previously programmed. Only by answering "Yes" to
a Setting Value will the ESC store/change that value.
