ESC Operation
1. Turn the transmitter’s power on.
2. Move the throttle stick to the off or brake position (towards you).
3. Connect the battery to the ESC. The motor will beep firstly to
match the Battery type, (like 3 beep sounds, means 3 cells LiPo
battery, 4 beep sounds, means 4 cells LiPo etc.) After that it
will have sound to indicate the brake setting (once for on,
twice for off).
4. The ESC is fully ready for starting.
NOTE:
The “Easy-Plug” line of brushless ESC include many built-in
safety features. One such feature
COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE
THE BRUSHLESS MOTOR TO STOP ROTATING
when the
transmitter’s throttle stick is at an extremely low position and/or
if rotation of the brushless motor is impeded or obstructed in
some way. This is NORMAL, as the ESC is detecting that a
problem possibly exists with the motor and/or speed control.
Rotation of the motor is stopped to protect the speed control
from possible damage.
WARNING!!
If the ESC and motor have already
been armed and the motor has been rotating normally, yet after
moving the throttle stick to near minimum the motor suddenly
ceases to rotate normally even if the throttle stick is advanced
above minimum throttle,
DO NOT PLACE YOUR HANDS NEAR
THE PROPELLER!! FAILURE TO OBEY THIS WARNING
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY!!
From this point, moving the throttle stick up, even to full throttle,
might not cause the motor to rotate BUT THE MOTOR IS STILL
ARMED AND ACTIVE DURING THIS TIME!! To regain control
