Operation is permitted if the "FPV-Pilot" which controls the model aircraft with
the aid of video glasses etc., is supportet at the same time by an "observer" with
clear sight between tot he model aircraft without the use of technical aids, giving
the FPV-Pilot in exigent circumstances instructions or in an emergency can take
over command of the flight model. Responsible and liable "(= liability insurance)
for third-party damage", is the "FPV-Pilot"!
•
Disconnect the flight battery when the aircraft is not being used.
•

immediately stop using it and secure it against unintended operation. Such an
assumption can be made if:
- is apparently damaged.
- malfunctions
- is stored in an adverse environment for prolonged periods of time.
Connection
The ESC can be connected to the motor via high-quality gold contacts or directly
via a soldering connection. The controllers are manufactured exclusively for the
operation of Brushless or Brushed motors as they are used in the hobby area.
They recognize AC motors on their 3 connection cables. Connect these to the three
connection cables of the controller.
They recognize DC motors on their 2 connection cables. Connect these to the two
connection cables of the controller.
When soldering, be careful not to overheat the motor and ESC and insulate open
cables with a shrink tube / insulation sleeve.
The maximum length of the battery cable should not exceed 15 cm.
•
Solder / connect the ESC to the motor.
•
Solder the required plug to the battery cable.
•
Insulate all soldering joints with shrink / insulation tubing.
•
Connect the "JR" connector to the "throttle" channel of the receiver.
•
Connect the battery pack to the corresponding socket on the battery and make
sure the polarity is correct.
•
If the motor rotates in the wrong direction, replace two motor cables in the case
of sensorless motors.

LiPo Battery Warnings and Usage Guidelines
•
You must charge the LiPo battery in a safe area away from flammable
materials.Never charge the LiPo battery unattended at any time. When charging
the battery you should always remain in constant observation to monitor the
charging process and react immediately to any potential problems that may
occur.
•
After discharging the battery you must allow it to cool to ambient/room
temperature before recharging. Also, it is NOT necessary or recommended to
discharge the battery ‘fully’ before charging (LiPo batteries have no ‘memory’
and it’s safe to charge partially discharged batteries when using an appropriate
charger).
•
To charge the battery you must use only a special LiPo battery charger. Failure
to do so may result in a fire causing property damage and/or personal injury. DO
NOT use a NiCd or NiMH charger.
•
If at any time during the charge or discharge process the battery begins to
balloon or swell, discontinue charging or discharging immediately. Quickly and
safely disconnect the battery from the charger, then place the battery in a safe,
open area away from flammable materials to observe it for at least 15 minutes.
Continuing to charge or discharge a battery that has begun to balloon or swell
can result in a fire. A battery that has ballooned or swollen even a small amount
must be removed from service completely.
•
Store the battery partially charged (approximately 50% charged/3.85V per cell),
at room temperature (approximately 25° C and in a dry area for best results.
•
When transporting or temporarily storing the battery, the temperature range
should be from approximately 5°C-40°C. Do not store the battery or model in a
hot garage, car or direct sunlight whenever possible. If stored in a hot garage or
car the battery can be damaged or even catch fire.
•
Do not over-discharge the LiPo battery. Discharging the LiPo battery to a voltage
that is too low can cause damage to the battery resulting in reduced power,
duration or failure of the battery entirely. LiPo cells should not be discharged to
below 3.2V each under load.
