Driving a motor with Cellpro Packs in series
You can connect up to three Cellpro 4s DPMs for higher voltage systems. Voltage to the ESC is
the sum of the voltages of the Cellpro packs.
Note:
If you connect an optional LED and Speaker Module to one Cellpro 4s DPM, you
must also connect one to the other Cellpro 4s DPM to receive correct status.
Wiring alternatives
There are a couple of ways to connect the batteries
to the ESC. On this page, Deans Ultra connec-
tors are soldered directly to the ESC input leads.
You can also use FMA Connector Modules. Use
a CMS-HC-5 to connect up to three Cellpro Packs
in series. Use CMP-HC-5 modules to connect any
number of Cellpro Packs in parallel (as shown on
the next page) for increased capacity.
Installing the CP4S-DPM-OPTO
Note:
Use the CP4S-DPM-OPTO if your ESC
has optical isolation in the throttle circuit,
or
When your ESC is equipped with a Battery Elimi-
nator Circuit (BEC) and you need to prevent inter-
ference from propagating back into the receiver.
1. Disable the ESC’s cutoff, or set the cutoff to a
value well below 3V/cell.
2. Connect components (see drawing at left):
a. Attach the ESC’s throttle connector to the
Cellpro 4s DPM’s Throttle Output connector.
b. Attach the DPM’s Throttle Input connector
to the receiver’s throttle channel.
c. Connect a battery to the receiver. This bat-
tery will power the receiver and servos.
d. If you purchased the optional LED/Speaker
Module, plug it into the DPM.
e. Connect the Cellpro Battery Pack to the
ESC.
CAUTION:
Charging Cellpro Packs
FMA recommends that you charge Cellpro
Packs with a BalancePro 6s Charger with
BalancePro HD-to-Cellpro Adapter, or with a
Cellpro 4s Charge Protection Module and an-
other LiPo-compatible charger.
