User Manual of Remote for Skateboard
HW6123ENG-20170822
When in 3
rd
gear, if press the Button B, the remote will vibrate a single, short vibration, the four power LEDs on the board will
flash one by one from one end to the other end to indicate that the board is in 1
st
gear now.
Note: this operation effects only when the “throttle scroll wheel” is at the neutral position. The specific gear and speed can be
adjusted by the specific ESC the user uses.
8) Charging
Charging the remote: the remote vibrates once after it’s connected to a power supply via the charging cable and the remote
power LED comes on Red and turns to Green when it’s fully charged.
Note: the remote can not be used during the charging, it vibrates a single, short vibration and powers off automatically after
removing the charging cable.
Charging the board battery: with the board powered off, connect it to a power supply via the charger/adapter, it automatically
enters the charging mode, and the four Red board power LEDs come on; with the board powered on, connect it to a power
supply (via the charger/adapter), it enters the charging mode and the four Red board power LEDs come on. The board will
automatically turn off after removing the charger/adapter.
Note: During the charging, the board is not connected to the remote or it doesn’t function even if it’s connected to the remote. In
other words, the motor & ESC on the board stop functioning during the process.
04 Troubles & Warning Tones
1) Low Voltage
1
When the remote power is only 5% (for a 15-minute operation), the remote will vibrate a double, long vibration and the remote
power indicator (a LED) will flash Red rapidly; when the power is only 2.5%, the remote will vibrate a double, long vibration
again, and the LED flashes Red rapidly; and when the voltage goes below the regulated value (3.4V) and the speed(of the
skateboard) is below 3km/h for safe use, the remote will automatically turn off.
2
When the board power is below 25%, the remote will vibrate a double, long vibration and the board power indicator (4 LEDs)
will display in this way “○○○●”; when the power is below 12.5%, the remote will vibrate a double, long vibration and the 4
LEDs will display in this way “○○○
☉
”; and when the voltage goes below the regulated value for safe use, then there will be no
more throttle output and the throttle value will be automatically and slowly reduced to zero(the process will take no more than 3
seconds). At this time, any throttle input will not take effect, only brake input works and you can brake manually.
Note: It’s better to stop using and charge the corresponding device when the warning (due to low remote power or
board power) is given for the first time. Otherwise, the LiPo battery will be damaged due to over-discharge .
2) Signal Loss
The remote will vibrate once when losing signals for 0.2 second, if the board is during acceleration, the “throttle scroll wheel” will be
back to the neutral position immediately and automatically, and then brake slowly and automatically; if the board is during braking,
then it will slowly increase or decrease to a fixed brake force. The remote will enter the searching board mode when signals are lost,
it will vibrate once and stop braking slowly when it finds one and re-connect to the one successfully, the board can only resume
normal operation after moving the “throttle scroll wheel” to the neutral position.
3) Motor Lock-up
When the motors are locked up or stuck, the remote will keep vibrating intermittently and the board power indicator (4 LEDs) will
intermittently flash in this way “○●○●”
“●○●○”
“○●○●”
“●○●○”
..... In that case, please stop running the board and check
if the motor(s) are stuck by some foreign material, remove the material immediately and then run the board.
4) Overheat
When the operating temperature of the ESC/motors is above 100°C or below 0°C, the remote will vibrate once and the board power
indicator (4 LEDs) will intermittently flash in this way “○●●●”
“●●●○”
“○●●●”
“●●●○”
......, the motor will operate with a
reduced power (about 25% throttle).
Note: the user needs to pay attention to the ESC & motor temperatures. When the operating temperature of the ESC/motors is high,
he/she needs to find the cause, and use it after the cause is found and problem is improved or solved.
5) Short-circuit
When the ESC detects an ESC or motor short-circuit issue, the remote signal LED will flash intermittently in this way
“○○○○”
“●●●●”
“○○○○”
“●●●●”
....., the motor will stop operating .
Note: power off the board and then turn it on, use it after the problem is solved.
6) Overcharge (when going downhill with a fully charged battery)
In principle, going downhill with a fully charged battery is prohibited, because the battery will be charged when braking during the
going-downhill process, so going downhill with a fully charged can shorten the service life of the board battery or even cause
accidents like an explosion or a fire. The user needs to consume some power before going downhill. If some user violates the rule
and goes downhill with a fully charged battery, the remote will vibrate and the board power indicator flashes in this way “○●●○” or
“●●●●” when ESC detects the battery voltage is too high. If the user continues to go downhill, the board will brake automatically to
prevent user from doing that. This method can only protect the battery to a limited extent and cannot 100% guarantee for the battery
safety.
