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 too cool.

2. Lost Throttle signal protection: The ESC will automatically reduce output power to the motor when it 

detects a loss of throttle signal for 2 seconds, a subsequent loss of throttle signal beyond 2 seconds, 

will cause the ESC automatically to cut power to the motor.

Powering up the ESC for the first time and 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 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 the 

   status of its programming state.

  * 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 denoting Brake status. One beep (*) for Brake “ON” and two beeps (**) for Brake  

  “OFF”.

  *The ESC is now ready for use.

Entering the Programming Mode:

1.Switch your Transmitter 

ON

 and set the throttle to its 

maximum

 position.

2.Connect the battery pack to the ESC.

3.Wait until you hear two short beeps (_ _**) confirming that the ESC has now entered the  

   program-ming mode.

4.If within 5 seconds, the throttle stick is lowered to its 

minimum

 position, an audible tone is emitted 

   confirming that the throttle calibration setting has changed. If the throttle stick is left in the 

maximum

 

   position beyond 5 seconds, the ESC will begin the sequence from one function and its associated 

   setting options to another. (Please refer to the table below to cross reference the functions with the 

   audible tones).

5.When the desired tone for the function and setting option is reached, move the throttle stick down to 

   its 

minimum

 position. ESC will emit two beeps (**) confirming the new setting has been stored.

6.The ESC only allows the setting of one function at a time.

   Therefore should you require making changes to other function, disconnect the battery pack and wait   

   5 seconds to reconnect the battery and repeat the above steps.

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.
