6.4 Protection Function Description
1. Low voltage protection
When the battery type is LiPo mode: the low-voltage protection value is 3.2V/cell. That is, when
2S lipo is used, the low-voltage protection value is 6.4V.
When the battery type is NiMH mode: the low-voltage protection value is 4.5V(total battery
voltage).
When the ESC detects that the battery voltage reaches the low-voltage protection value for 2
seconds, the output power of ESC will be halved, that is, the ESC will operate at 50% of the
output power. The ESC will cut off the output completely after a few seconds, and the red light of
ESC will blink in cycle. After triggering the low-voltage protection, please replace the battery or
fully charge the battery before use.
Note:
If it is easy to trigger the low voltage protection during use, please check whether select wrong
battery type, for example, LiPo mode is set when using the NiMH cell. If the battery type is
selected correctly, it is probably caused by the insufficient discharge capacity of the battery.
Please replace the battery with a higher discharge rate to test.
2.Overheat protection
When the internal temperature of ESC reaches the preset value (110
℃
/230
℉
) of the
manufacturer and lasts for 2 seconds, the ESC will directly cut off the output, and the red light of
ESC will continue to flash slowly.
Note:
if ESC is easy to trigger the overheat protection, it is usually because the configuration is
unreasonable, that is, the ESC cannot meet the vehicle configuration requirements, please reduce
the vehicle load or replace the ESC with higher power.
3. Signal loss protection
When the ESC detects that throttle signal is lost for 0.1s, it will automatically cut off the output
and the red light will flash quickly.
6.3 Programming Instructions
See [5.8 ESC parameter setting]
Description of LED status during driving:
1. The red LED of ESC extinguishes when the throttle trigger is at the neutral position.
2. The red LED quickly flashes when move forward; the red LED is constantly on when the
throttle is at the end position of forward(100% throttle).
3. The red LED quickly flashes when reversing.
Note:
a.The ESC can be run after completing self-inspection (about 3 seconds) if power on, otherwise
it cannot be operated normally.
b.If there is no power output and the red light of ESC flashes quickly after power on, it means
that the actual throttle of radio is not at the neutral position, move the throttle to the neutral
position until the red light does not flash.
c.If the rotation direction is not correct during running, exchange the two wires connecting motor
and ESC.
d.To make sure everything is ok, please turn on the radio first and finally turn on the ESC, turn
off the ESC first and finally turn off the radio.
