Using Your New ESC
Improper polarity or short circuit will damage the ESC therefore it is your responsibility to double check all plugs for proper polarity
and firm fit BEEORE connecting the battery pack.
Alert Tones
The HobbyKing ESC is equipped with audible alert tones to indicate abnormal conditions at power up.
If ESC can't enter into working mode after powering up, it indicates that you have not setup throttle calibration.
2. Continuous beeping tone (****) – Indicates that throttle stick is not in the minimum position.
3. Single beeping tone followed by a one second pause (* * * *)– Indicates that the battery pack voltage is not within the acceptable
range. (The ESC automatically checks and verifies the battery voltage once the battery is connected).
4. A single beeping tone followed by a short pause (* * * *) – Indicates that the ESC is unable to detect the normal throttle signal
from the receiver.
Built-in Intelligent ESC Safety Functions
1. Over-heat protection: When the temperature of ESC exceed 110 deg C, the ESC will reduce the output power to allow it too cool.
2. Lost Throttle signal protection: The ESC will automatically reduces output power to the motor when it detects a lost of throttle
signal for 2 second, a subsequent loss of throttle signal beyond 2 seconds, will cause the ESC automatically to cut power to the motor.
Powering up the ESC for the first time and setting the Automatic Throttle Calibration
The HobbyKing ESC features Automatic Throttle Calibration to attain the smoothest throttle response and resolution throughout the
entire throttle range of your transmitter. This step is done once to allow the ESC to “learn and memorize” your Transmitter’s throttle
output signals and only repeated if you change your transmitter.
1.Switch your Transmitter ON and set the throttle stick to its maximum position.
2.Connect the battery pack to the ESC. Wait for about 2 seconds, the motor will beep for twice, then put the throttle in the minimum
position, the motor will also beep, which indicates that your ESC has got the signal range of the throttle from your transmitter.
The throttle is now calibrated and your ESC is ready for operation.
Normal ESC start up procedure:
Switch your Transmitter ON and set the throttle to its minimum position.
Connect the battery pack to the ESC.
