Thanks for purchasing
SwordfishX
brushless speed controllers manufactured
by HIFEI Technology Co., Ltd.
SwordfishX
series ESC are specifically devel-
oped to supply stable and strong power for R/C model boats beyond your ex-
pected.
Please always keep in safe when use ESC
Strongly recommend to calibrate the throttle range of transmitter when you first
use controller or when using a new /different transmitter or receiver
Before begin the running, turn on the transmitter
BEFORE
powering on the re-
ceiver.
When finish the running, power off the receiver
BEFORE
turning off the
transmitter.
Please
DO NOT
run Swordfish ESC without water flow.
Swordfish ESC is water-resistant, and thus cannot be soaked in water, which may
cause ESC failure or be burned.
Never disconnect the battery pack while the brushless motor is running, as this
could cause damage to the speed controller and/or motor. And such damage would
not covered under manufacturer’s WARRANTY.
It is suggest to add additional capacitor bank (such as HIFEI capacitor-bank 63V)
in the flowing two situations:
A: When run Swordfish X HV ESC with high KV motor with 10s or more lipos.
B: When run Swordfish X HV ESC at max current for a long time.
Swordfish ESC is preset with default parameters in factory, which can be assem-
bled for running directly. In order to get optimum power performance and well
compatible to work with brushless motor, it is suggested to program ESC parame-
ters before first run.

,
it is ready to run.
Note: In the following 3 situations, it is required to calibrate the throttle range of transmitter.
-When it is the first time to use a new speed controller.
-When change a new TX or RX, or a set of new radio system.
-When upgrade the ESC into a new version of firmware.
Calibrate throttle of TX
Board Transmitter
1
st
:
Connect ESC to motor, plug receiver lead of ESC to throttle channel of RX.
Push joystick of transmitter to max throttle position, power on TX.
Note:SwordfishX ESC can not run in reverse. If throttle range were calibrated from reverse
to neutral, the calibrating range will be invalid.
In the following, motor will emit four long beeps in flat tones.
After any one beep of the four long beeps, pull joystick to
zero immediately.
Power on receiver, connect ESC to battery. Motor emits three beeps in
drop tones.
Then motor emits two beeps in up tones.

th
:
Calibrating is completed, it’s ready to go.
Please solder good quality connectors to ESC’s motor wires and power wires before
connect ESC to motor and battery. When connect power wires to battery, it is IM-
PORTANT
to correctly connect positive to positive, and negative to negative. Swap
any two motor wires’ connecting can change the rotation direction.
In order to prevent and reduce any signal disturbance generated by ESC hardware,
please install the ESC far away from receiver.
