Use the programmable features
The Hifei
®
ESCs offers the eight user programmable features, including low cutoff voltage,
current limiting, brake type, timing advance, cutoff type, soft start, governor mode and PWM
switching rate.
1 Low Cut-off Voltage
NOTE: Low Cut-off Voltage can protect the main battery from discharged too low, and provide
the normal operating voltage to receiver and servos.
2 Current Limiting
NOTE: Default setting is recommended. If you change the setting, damage to the controller as a
result of over current will be not covered by the manufacturer
’
s warranty.
Option 1:Auto Lipo Auto Lipo Cells Detecting
Option2:5.0V(default) 6-8 cell NiCad or NiMH packs, or 2 cell Lithium packs
Option 3:6.0V 8 cell NiCad or NiMH packs, or 2 cell Lithium packs
Option 4:7.2V 9 cell NiCad or NiMH packs
Option 5:8.4V 10 cell NiCad or NiMH packs, or 3 cell Lithium packs
Option 6:9.0V 12 cell NiCad/ NiMH packs, or 3 cell Lithium packs
Option 7:12.0V
4 cell Lithium packs
Option 1: Very Sensitivity Low over-current threshold, will rapidly shut-down.
Option
2:Standard(default) Moderate over-current threshold, will shut down after a
slight delay. Recommended for inrunner motors.
Option 3:Insensitivity High over-current threshold, will shut down after a slight
delay. Recommended for outrunner motors.
Only
experienced modelers should use this programming
feature
Option 4: disabled Current limiting detection disabled. Only experienced
modelers should use this programming feature.
Warning
•
When connecting the ESC, ensure that the polarity of battery is correct. Incorrect polarity may
cause permanent damage to the ESC and such damage is not covered by the WARRANTY.
•
When you use the ESC, turn on the transmitter BEFORE powering on the receiver.
•
When you are finished, power off the receiver BEFORE turning off the transmitter.
•
The limiting current is set to the standard mode in factory. It is suitable for use in most
configurations. Only experienced technicians can adjust this programming.
•
In Governor Mode, the brake is always disabled and the soft cutoff is always active.
•
Changing the PWM may cause the motor to heat ahead of time.
•
Do not play on or near water. Never allow water, moisture or any foreign object onto the PC
board of the ESC.
•
Damage to the controller as a result of excessively high current is not covered by the
manufacturer
’
s WARRANTY.
•
Allowing water, lubricants, moisture or other foreign objects inside the ESC will VOID the
WARRANTY. Exposure to CA glue or its fumes can cause damage and malfunction; this will
also VOID the WARRANTY.
•
Never disconnect the battery pack while the motor is running, as this could cause damage to the
speed controller and/or motor.
•
Never allow the separate heat sinks to touch each other or any exposed conductive surface. This
may cause short circuit, damage the ESC, and VOID the WARRANTY.
•
Connectors with low conductivity may cause erratic motor rotations or other unexpected
movements
•
If you are not using the BEC function of the ESC and are using a separate receiver battery
instead you must disconnect the red wire from the controllers JR connector.
•
The controller will automatically power off the motor if the battery voltage drops below the
programmed cut-off voltage (factory preset at 5.0V).Try using a smaller prop on the motor, or
using batteries with a higher rating. It is especially important for the user of Li-poly cells.

Thanks to purchase the
Hifei

brushless motor ESC produced by Chongqing EVERBEST
Technology Ltd., please read this instruction carefully before use. wish you have a pleasant
flight.
3 Brake Type
4 Timing Advance
5 Cutoff Type
NOTE: Soft cutoff is always automatically active in Governor Mode.
6 Soft Start
7
Governor mode
.
NOTE: The Governor mode acts as an RPM control. Throttle stick position determines the RPM that the
motor runs and the controller will attempt to hold that RPM regardless of load changes. In Governor Mode,
the brake is always disabled and soft cutoff is automatically active.
8 PWM
Note: we strongly recommend only the experienced modeller could change this setting.
Option 1:Brake disabled
(default)
Brake disabled is mainly used for helicopters.
Option 2:Soft brake
Soft brake provides 50% of full braking power. General aircraft
use, with fixed or folding prop
Option 3:Hard brake
Hard brake is 70% braking power. Direct drive applications where
more braking power is required. Hard brake should only be used
below 12V.
Option 1: Low advance
timing 0
°
~ 15
°
Recommended for more lower pole count motors. Gives more
power and slightly less efficient.
Option 2: middle
advance timing 5
°
~ 20
°
Recommended for most motors .Gives a good balance of power
and efficiency.
Option 3: High advance
timing 15
°
~ 30
°
Recommended for most of higher pole count motors
Option4:Auto(default)
Recommended for most of all brushless motors.
Option 1 :Hard cutoff
(default)
When battery voltage reaches cut-off voltage the motor will
shutdown immediately , . Motor can be restarted by closing the
throttle to the lowest position and then move the throttle as
Option 2: Soft cutoff When battery voltage reaches cut-off voltage, slowly reduce s
motor power to zero , you will notice a decrease in power and it is
time to land, the throttle maintains its full linear.
Option 1: Very soft start Recommended for helicopters
Option 2:Soft start (default) Recommended for most of the fixed or fold prop airplanes,
helicopters.
Option 3: Fast start Recommended for fastest startup.
