programming. If at this time you do not wish to proceed to
function #7, you can simply shut the power off to the ESC.
Function #7 Motor Timing:
In motor timing mode the motor will produce 7 beeps
signifying motor timing mode. The following 1 to 4 beeps
signify the available options.
7-1….7 beeps-beep auto motor timing
(factory default)
7-2….7 beeps-2 beeps low motor timing
7-3….7 beeps-3 beeps standard motor timing
7-4….7 beeps-4 beeps advanced motor timing
Once the series of beeps for the option you wish to choose
has completed, move the throttle position to maximum and
release to neutral. You will receive a 4-beep confirmation of
programming. If at this time you do not wish to proceed to
function #8, you can simply shut the power off to the ESC.
Function #8 Battery Management System:
In battery management system mode the motor will produce
8 beeps signifying battery management system mode. The
following 1 to 6 beeps signify the available options.
8-1….8 beeps-beep Ni-Cd/Ni-MH 4.5V cutoff
(factory default)
8-2….8 beeps-2 beeps Ni-Cd/Ni-MH 4.2V cutoff
8-3….8 beeps-3 beeps Ni-Cd/Ni-MH 3.9V cutoff
8-4….8 beeps-4 beeps Li-Po/Li-Ion light discharge
8-5….8 beeps-5 beeps Li-Po/Li-Ion standard
discharge
8-6….8 beeps-6 beeps Li-Po/Li-Ion heavy discharge
Once the series of beeps for the option you wish to choose
has completed, move the throttle position to maximum and
release to neutral. You will receive a 4-beep confirmation of
programming. At this time turn off the ESC power.
More About the Battery
Management System
This section will give you a few more details regarding the
smart battery management system. The low voltage cutoff
is based on the type of battery, battery voltage, cell count
(for Li-Po/Li-ion modes which the ESC recognizes at power
up) and battery voltage under load. The low voltage cutoff
occurs in 2 steps.
Step 1: The motor’s power will be reduced in order to alert
the user that the battery is about to reach the cutoff point.
Step 2: Once the battery reaches the low voltage cutoff
point, the motor will shut down completely. In order to
protect your battery, do not resume operation. Shut the
vehicle off and install a fully charged battery.
The following will show the low voltage cutoff levels:
8-1…. Ni-Cd/Ni-MH 4.5V cutoff (factory default)
8-2…. Ni-Cd/Ni-MH 4.2V cutoff
8-3…. Ni-Cd/Ni-MH 3.9V cutoff
8-4 …. Li-Po/Li-Ion light discharge
Step 1-3.2V per cell, Step 2-2.9V per cell
8-5…. Li-Po/Li-Ion standard discharge
Step 1-2.9V per cell, Step 2-2.6V per cell
8-6….. Li-Po/Li-Ion heavy discharge
Step 1-2.6V per cell, Step 2-2.3V per cell
Function #5 Reverse Power:
In reverse power mode the motor will produce 5 beeps
signifying reverse power mode. The following 1 to 8 beeps
signify the available options.
5-1….5 beeps-beep 0% reverse power
5-2….5 beeps-2 beeps 20% reverse power
5-3….5 beeps-3 beeps 40% reverse power
5-4….5 beeps-4 beeps 60% reverse power (factory
default)
5-5….5 beeps-5 beeps 70% reverse power
5-6….5 beeps-6 beeps 80% reverse power
5-7….5 beeps-7 beeps 90% reverse power
5-8….5 beeps-8 beeps 100% reverse power
Once the series of beeps for the option you wish to choose
has completed, move the throttle position to maximum and
release to neutral. You will receive a 4-beep confirmation of
programming. If at this time you do not wish to proceed to
function #6, you can simply shut the power off to the ESC.
Function #6 Forward/Reverse Run Mode:
In forward/reverse run mode the motor will produce 6 beeps
signifying reverse power mode. The following 1 to 5 beeps
signify the available options.
6-1….6 beeps-beep forward only with brake
6-2….6 beeps-2 beeps forward, brake and 2-stage
reverse
6-3….6 beeps-3 beeps forward, brake, 2-stage
reverse, safe brake (factory
default)
6-4….6 beeps-4 beeps forward, brake, reverse with
1sec. delay
6-5….6 beeps-5 beeps forward, brake, reverse with
1sec. delay, safe brake
Once the series of beeps for the option you wish to choose
has completed, move the throttle position to maximum and
release to neutral. You will receive a 4-beep confirmation of
Programming Using the Quick
Programming Card
The easiest way to program your Fuze ESC is by using the
Handheld Quick Programming Card (DYN3745).
Using the Quick Programming Card allows you to go
directly into the mode setting that you wish to change
without waiting through any of the functions that precede it.
1. Remove the ESC receiver lead from the receiver and
connect it to the programming card. Be sure to observe
correct polarity.
2. Connect a battery to the ESC.
3. Turn on the ESC. You will hear 6 beeps followed by one
rising tone. You have now entered into programming
mode.
4. Using the black buttons on the front of the card, enter
the function number (listed on the front of the card)
followed by the option number (listed on the back of the
card) that you wish to choose. For example, if you wish
to adjust the brake strength to 80% and drag brake to
10%: press button #1 followed by button #6. After about
1 second you will hear 1 long tone followed by 6 beeps
confirming the programming setting. Next you will hear
1 rising tone which allows you to enter the next setting.
Press button #2 followed by button #3. After about 1
second you will hear 2 long tones followed by 3 beeps
confirming the programming setting. Once again you
will hear 1 rising tone. You can either enter into another
function for modification or simply turn off the power to
the ESC to end programming.
5. Disconnect the ESC receiver lead from the
programming card.
6. Connect the ESC receiver lead to the receiver.
