Durafly ESC Programing Card Manual
DESCRIPTION OF SETTINGS:
Baery type: LiPo or NiMh
* NiMH – Sets Low Voltage protecon threshold for NiCad/NiMH cells.
* LiPo – Sets Low voltage protecon threshold for LiPo cells and automacally detects the
number of cells within the pack. Note: Selecng the NiCad/NiMH opon for the
baery type, triggers the ESC to automacally set the cutoff threshold to the factory
default of 60%. The cutoff threshold can then be subsequently altered through the
Low Voltage protecon funcon, if required. The ESC will read the inial voltage of
the NiCad/NiMh pack once it is plugged in and the voltage read will then be used as
a reference for the cutoff voltage threshold.
Timing Setup : Automac/ Low / High.
* Automac (7-30 deg) – ESC automacally determines the opmum motor ming
* Low (7-22 deg) – seng for most 2 pole motors.
* High (22-30 deg) – seng for motors with 6 or more poles.
In most cases, automac ming works well for all types of motors.
However for high efficiency we recommend the Low ming seng for 2
pole motors (general in-runners) and high ming for 6 poles and above
(general out-runners). For higher speed, High ming can be set. Some
motors require different ming setups therefore we suggest you to follow
the manufacturer recommended setup or use the automac ming
seng if you are unsure.
Note: Run your motor on the ground first aer making any changes to
your motor ming!
Acve RPM Control (Heli Governor mode)
* RPM Control OFF
* First Range:
There will be a 5-second delay from start to full rpm, but if the throle is cutoff
aer starng, then the next start will be as normal start.
* Second Range: There will be a 15-second delay from start to full rpm, but if the throle is
cutoff aer starng, then the next start will be as normal start.
Note: Once the Governor Mode is enabled, the ESC’s Brake and Low Voltage
Cutoff Type sengs will automacally be reset to Brake Off and Reduce
Power respecvely regardless of what sengs they were previously set.
Motor Rotaon: Forward/ Reverse
In most cases motor rotaon is usually reversed by swapping two motor wires. However, in cases
where the motor cables have been directly soldered the ESC cables, motor rotaon can be
reversed by changing the value of seng on the ESC.
So Acceleraon Start ups:
Very So / So Acceleraon/ Start Acceleraon
* Very So – Provides inial slow 1.5 sec ramp-up from start to full rpm intended to protect
delicate gears from stripping under instant load. This seng is recommended
for either fixed wing models equipped with gearboxes and / or helicopters.
* So Acceleraon- Provides inial slow 1 sec ramp-up from start to full rpm. This seng is
recommended for either fixed wing models equipped with gearboxes
and or helicopters.
* Start Acceleraon – Provides quick acceleraon start ups with a linear throle response. This
is recommended for fixed wing models fied with direct drive setups.
Low Voltage Protecon Threshold ( Cutoff Threshold ):
Low / Medium / High
1) For Li-xx packs- number of cells are automacally calculated and requires no user
input apart from defining the baery type. This ESC provides 3 seng opons for
the low voltage protecon threshold ; Low (3.0V)/ Medium (3.2V)/ High (3.4V).
For example : the voltage cutoff opons for an 11.1V/ 3 cell Li-Po pack would be
8.4V (Low)/ 9.0V(Med)/ 9.6V(High)
2) For Ni-xx packs-low / medium / high cutoff voltages are 50%/60%/65% of the
inial voltage of the baery pack.. For example: A fully charged 6 cell NiMh pack’s
voltage is 1.44V x 6=8.64V,when “LOW” cutoff voltage is set, the cutoff voltage is:
8.64V x 50%=4.3V and when “Medium” of “High” is set, the cutoff voltage is now
8.64V X 65%=5.61V.
Brake: ON/OFF
* ON - Sets the propeller to the brake posion when the throle sck is at the
minimum posion (Recommended for folding props).
* OFF - Sets the propeller to freewheel when the throle sck is at the minimum
posion.
Low Voltage Cutoff Type : Reduce Power / Hard cutoff
* Reduce Power – ESC reduces motor power when the pre-set Low Voltage
Protecon Threshold value is reached. (recommended)
* Hard Cutoff – ESC instantly cuts motor power when the pre-set Low Voltage
Protecon Threshold value is reached.
