move the throttle stick from forward zone to backward zone for the first time (The 1
st
“click”), the ESC begins to brake the
motor, the motor speeds down but it is still running, not completely stopped, so the backward action is NOT happened
immediately. When the throttle stick is moved to the backward zone again (The 2
nd
“click”), if the motor speed is slowed
down to zero (i.e. stopped), the backward action will happen. The “Double -Click” me thod can pr
even t mistakenly
reversing action when the brake function is frequently used in steering.
By the way, in the process of braking or reversing, if the throttle stick is moved to forward zone, the motor will run forward at once. “Forward/Reverse” mode uses “Single -click” to make the car go backward. When you move the throttle stick from
forward zone to backward zone, the car will go backward immediately. This mode is usually used for the Rock Crawler.
1.2. Drag Brake Force: Set the amount of drag brake app
lied at neutral throttle to simulate the slight braking effect of a
neutral brushed motor while coasting.
1.3. Low Voltage Cut-Off: The function prevents the lithium battery pack from over discharging. The ESC detects the battery’s voltage at any time, if the voltage is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the output power will be cut off, and the red LED
ashes in such a way: “ “☆-, ☆-, ☆-”.
1.4. Start Mode (Also called “Punch”): Select from “Level1” to “Level9” as you like . Level1 has a very soft start
effect, while level9 has a very aggressive start effect. From Level1 to Level9, the start force is increasing. Please note
that if you choose “Level7” to “Level9” mode, you must use good quality battery with powerful discharge ability, otherwise
these modes cannot get the burst start effect as you want. If the motor cannot run smoothly (that means the motor is
trembling),
it may cause d by the weak discharge ability of the battery, please choose a better one or a softer gear ratio.
1.5. Maximum Brake Force: The ESC provides
proportional brake function. The brake force is related to the position
of the throttle stick. Maximum brake force refers to the force when the throttle stick is located at the end point of the
backward zone. A very large brake force can shorten the brake time, but it may damage the gears. The “Disable” option
inhibits the inherent brake function
of the speed controller. When this option is selected, the brake function is realized by
a traditional mechanical disc-brake system driven by a servo.
2. Reset All Items To Default Values
At any time when the throttle is located in neutral zone (except in the throttle calibration or parameters program process),
hold the “SET ” key for over 3 seconds, the red LED and green LED will flash at the same time , which means each programmable item has be reset to its default value. It needs to be restarted to complete the whole process.
【TROUBLE SHOOTING】
【PROGRAM THE ESC】
1. Program the ESC with the SET button on the ESC Note:
In the program process, the motor will emit “Beep ” tone when the LED is flashing.
We use a long time ash and long “ Beep---” tone to represent number “5” for easily identify the items of the big
number.
“ A long time
ash” (Motor sounds “B ---”) = the No. 5 item
“ A long time
ash + a short time ash” (Motor sounds “B ---B”) = the No. 6 item
“ A long time flash + 2 sh ort times
ash” (Motor sounds “B ---BB”) = the No. 7 item
“ A long time
ash + 3 short times ash” (Motor sounds “B ---BBB”) = the No. 8 item
“ A long time
ash + 4 short times ash” (Motor sounds “B ---BBBB”) = the No. 9 item
Trouble
Possible Reason
Solution
After power on, motor doesn’t work,
and the cooling fan doesn ’t work
The connections between
battery pack and ESC are not
correct
Check the power connections
Replace the connectors
After power on, motor can’t work,
but emits “beep-beep-, beep-beep-”
alert tone. (Every “beep -beep-” has
a time interval of 1 second )
Input voltage is abnormal, too
high or too low
Check the voltage of the battery pack
After power on, red LED always
lights, the motor doesn’t work
Throttle signal is abnormal
Plug the control wire into the throttle channel
of the receiver correctly.
The motor runs in the opposite
direction when it is accelerated
The wire connections between
ESC and the motor are not
correct
S wap any two wire connections between the
ESC and the motor.
The motor suddenly stops running
while in working state
The throttle signal is lost
Check the transmit ter and the receiver
Check the signal wire from the throttle channel
of your receiver
The ESC has entered the Low
Voltage Protection Mode or
Over -heat Protection Mode
Red LED flashing means Low Voltage. Green
LED flashing means Over-heat
When accelerat ing quickly, the
motor stops or trembles
1) The battery has a bad
discharge performance
2) Gear ratio is too aggressive
3) The “Start Mode (Punch) ” of
the ESC is too aggressive
1) Use a better battery
2) Use lower KV motor or softer gear ratio
3) Set the “Start Mode (Punch) ” to a softer
value
When the throttle stick is in the
neutral range, the red LED and the
green LED flashes synchronously
Over current protection, motor
demagnetization, or motor is
over load
1) Reduce the load (Use softer gear ratio or
reduce the input voltage) 2) Change the motor
