Initial setup:
Once you connected the battery (red = plus, black =
minus) you will hear 3 descending tones. A number of
beeps will follow corresponding to the cell number of the
connected Lipo battery. In case the transmitter stick is on
throttle off, you will now hear 3 ascending tones.
You have to connect the motor in order to hear the
beeps; the motor itself will act as a speaker.
--- The ESC is ready for use. ---
If the motor turns in the wrong direction, simply exchange
2 of the 3 motor wires.
Use only clean and tight gold connectors for the motor
and battery. Pay attention to the reverse current
protection on the cables leading to the ESC between the
jack and plug. Exchange low-friction or oxidized plugs
and sockets. Only tight fitting contacts will ensure a high
current flow, protect the speed controller against
dangerous voltage peaks and avoid disturbances. With
all ESC types, the entire wire length, from the controller
to the battery, should not exceed 20cm. If you cannot
avoid longer wires, a Low ESR
switching capacitor of
330µF/25V should be soldered between plus and minus
wires every 20cm. You might also consider using our
capacitor module YGE Cap´s typ 5. The motor wires can
also be extended. Please twist the 3 lines in order to
minimize interference emission.
Note: Inverting the Battery polarity will cause severe
damage and the loss of warranty!!!
General Settings:
The speed controller has a fixed throttle curve setting, so that
the stop and full power points of all the established
transmitters are connected in-line. The throttle range of all
programmable transmitters should be set to the default value
(±100%), the center point set to zero and throttle trim point to
active. The range needs to be adjusted on some transmitter
types. In order to do this the throttle endpoints need to be set
in such a way that the motor stops one notch before the
lowest stick position and the motor is at full power when it is
set one notch before the full power setting. For checking
purposes the LED is off at full power.
As delivered, the Timing is adjusted to 18°, the brake is set
to mid level, and the under voltage recognition adjusted to
Lipo mode 3.1 V.
If during spin up rpm variations (wowing or erratic sound) are
experienced, the timing must be increased. If no
improvement can be obtained at 30°, then the motor is
overloaded. Here a smaller propeller, a one cell smaller
battery or a stronger motor will help. If after motor stop you
hear 2 beeps repeating, it means that the battery voltage
dropped down below the set value. If necessary try a cutoff
voltage of 2.9 or 3.0V per cell. If there is still no
improvement, the battery is discharged or too weak, the
wires are too long or too small or a connector is out of order.
With an active brake you can hear these warning tones only
in the windmill position. This is the small range on the throttle
stick between brake and motor start. You can get to this
position with 2 notches or with a high trim and a short gas
start.
If you do not want automatic timing, it can be adjusted
according to the following guideline.
Inrunner
0 to 12°
Outrunner
18 to 30°
If your motor manufacturer recommends a timing, you
should stick to it.
As a basic rule: the higher the timing, the higher the full
power rpm.
The easy way to change something is to do it with the
ProgCard. It is also possible to conduct the setup with the
transmitter; however, we will not go into details here. You will
find the details in the RC-setup manual under
www.yge.de
in
the download area.
Please note that the entire feature set-up can only be
accessed via the ProgCard.
In case you get into the programming mode by mistake
during a normal start-up (throttle stick at full power), just
disconnect the battery, lower the stick to stop, and
reconnect the battery. That way you will not alter the
adjustments.
