Settings:
1.Brake: ON/OFF
*
ON
- Sets the propeller to the brake position when the throttle stick
is
at the minimum position
(Recommended for folding props).
*
OFF
- Sets the propeller to freewheel when the throttle stick is at the minimum position.
2.Battery type: LiPo or NiCad/NiMh
*
NiCad/NiMH
– Sets Low Voltage protection threshold for NiCad/NiMH cells.
*
LiPo
– Sets Low voltage protection threshold for LiPo cells and automatically detects the number of
cells within the pack.
Note: Selecting the NiCad/NiMH option for the battery type, triggers the ESC to automatically set the
cutoff threshold to the factory default of 60%. The cutoff threshold can then be subsequently altered
through the Low Voltage protection function, if required. The ESC will read the initial voltage of the
NiCad/NiMh pack once it is plugged in and the voltage read will then be used as a reference for the cutoff
voltage threshold.
3.Low Voltage Protection Threshold ( Cutoff Threshold ):
Low / Medium / High
1) For Li-xx packs- number of cells are automatically calculated and requires no user input apart from
defining the battery type. This ESC provides 3 setting options for the low voltage protection threshold ;
Low (2.8V)/ Medium (3.0V)/ High (3.2V). For example : the voltage cutoff options for an 11.1V/ 3 cell
Li-Po pack would be 8.4V (Low)/ 9.0V(Med)/ 9.6V(High)
2) For Ni-xx packs-low / medium / high cutoff voltages are 50%/60%/65% of the initial voltage of the
battery pack.. For example: A fully charged 6 cell NiMh pack’s voltage is 1.44V x 6=8.64V,when “LOW”
cutoff voltage is set, the cutoff voltage is: 8.64V x 50%=4.3V and when “Medium” of “High” is set, the
cutoff voltage is now 8.64V X 65%=5.61V.

5.Timing Setup : Automatic/ Low / High.
*
Automatic
(7-30 deg)
– ESC automatically determines the optimum motor timing
*
Low (7-22 deg)
– Setting for most 2 pole motors.
*
High(22-30 deg)
-setting for motors with 6 or more poles.
In most cases, automatic timing works well for all types of motors. However for high efficiency we
recommend the Low timing setting for 2 pole motors (general in-runners) and high timing for 6 poles
and above (general out-runners). For higher speed, High timing can be set. Some motors require
different timing setups therefore we suggest you to follow the manufacturer recommended setup or use
the automatic timing setting if you are unsure.
Note: Run your motor on the ground first after making any changes to your motor timing!
