Protection Function
8.1
Low voltage cut-off protection:
8.1.1 If the lithium battery pack’s voltage is lower than the voltage threshold for 2 seconds,
the ESC will cut power output. Please note that the ESC cannot be restarted if the voltage of
each lithium cell is lower than 3.5V. Users can disable cutoff voltage protection function for
competitive racing.
8.1.2 For NiMh/NiCd battery packs, if the voltage of the NiMh/NiCd battery pack is higher
than 12V, it will be recognized as a 4 cell lithium battery pack. If it is higher than 9.0V, but
lower than 12V, it will be recognized as a 3 cell lithium battery pack. If it is lower than 9.0V, it
will be recognized as a 2 cell lithium battery pack. For example, a NiMh battery pack
measuring 8.0V and the voltage threshold is set to 2.6V/Cell will be recognized as a 2 cell
lithium battery pack. The low voltage cut-off for this NiMh battery pack will be 2.6V x
2=5.2V.
8.2
Over-heat protection: When the temperature of the ESC is over 95
℃
/ 203
℉
for 5 seconds,
the ESC will cut power output. Users can disable over-heat protection function for
competitive racing.
8.3
Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will cut power output if the throttle signal is lost for
0.5 second.

Optional Upgrade Accessories
Speed Passion provides the following accessories to upgrade the Reventon ESC:
Upper side
Lower side
9.1
Heat sink fan (6V):
The 6V fan is necessary when using battery packs is more than 6 cell
NiMh/NiCd or 2s Lipo. It is mounted to the heat sink of the ESC. It helps to cool the ESC with
downward airflow. The picture on the top side shows the installation.
WARNING! Please note, the fan included with the ESC can ONLY work with a 2 cell lithium
battery pack or 4-6 cell NiMh / NiCd battery pack. Do not operate at higher voltages,
otherwise it will be destroyed.
Please check the label of the fan to confirm its working voltage before using it.
9.2
Low resistance, High capacity filtering capacitors.
9.3
Smart LCD Program Card.
