Built-in Intelligent ESC Safety Functions
1. Over-heat protection:
When the temperature of ESC exceeds 110 deg C, the ESC
will reduce the output power to allow it to cool.
2. Lost Throttle signal protection:
The ESC will automatically cut power to the
motor when it detects a lost of throttle signal for 2 seconds.
POWERING UP THE ESC FOR THE FIRST TIME & SETTING THE
AUTOMATIC THROTTLE CALIBRATION
The ZTW ESC features Automatic Throttle Calibration to attain the smoothest
throttle response and resolution throughout the entire throttle range of your
transmitter. This step is done once to allow the ESC to “learn and memorize” your
Transmitter's throttle output signals and only repeated if you change your
transmitter.
1. Switch your Transmitter ON and set the throttle stick to its maximum position.
2. Connect the battery pack to the ESC. Wait for about 2 seconds, the motor will beep
for twice, then put the throttle in the minimum position, the motor will also beep,
which indicates that your ESC has got the signal range of the throttle from your
transmitter.
The throttle is now calibrated and your ESC is ready for operation.
NORMAL ESC START UP PROCEDURE
1. Switch your Transmitter ON and set the throttle to its minimum position.
2. Connect the battery pack to the ESC.
3. When the ESC is first powered up, it emits two sets of audible tones in succession
indicating its working status.
* The first set of tones denotes the number of cells in the LiPo pack connected to the
ESC. (Three beeps (***) indicates a 3 cell LiPo pack while 4 beeps (****) indicates
a 4 cell LiPo pack).
* The second set of tones denotes Brake status (one beep (*) for Brake “ON” and two
beeps (**) for Brake “OFF”).
The ESC is ready for use now.
General Safety Precautions
Do not install the propeller (fixed wing) or drive pinion (helicopter) on the motor
when you test the ESC and motor for the first time to verify the correct settings on
your radio. Only install your propeller or pinion after you have confirmed that the
settings on your radio is correct.
Never use ruptured or punctured battery cells.
Never use battery packs that are known to overheat.
Never use short circuit battery or motor terminals.
Always use proper insulation material for cable insulation.
Always use proper cable connectors.
Do not exceed the number of cells or servos specified by the ESC.
