User Manual

When the ESC is first powered up, it emits two sets of audible tones in succession indicating the status of its programming state.
* The first set of tones denotes the number of cells in the LiPo pack connected to the ESC. (Three beeps (***)indicates a 3 cell LiPo
pack while 4 beeps (****) indicates a 4 cell LiPo pack).
* The second set denoting Brake status (one beep(*) for Brake “ON” and two beeps (**) for Brake “OFF”).
*The ESC is now ready for use.
Entering the Programming Mode:
Switch your Transmitter ON and set the throttle to its maximum position.
Connect the battery pack to the ESC.
Wait until you hear two short beeps (_ _**) confirming that the ESC has now entered the programming mode.
If within 5 seconds, the throttle stick is lowered to its minimum position, an audible tone is emitted confirming that the throttle
calibration setting has changed. If the throttle stick is left in the maximum position beyond 5 seconds, the ESC will begin the
sequence from one function and its associated setting options to another. (Please refer to the table below to cross reference the
functions with the audible tones).
When the desired tone for the function and setting option is reached, move the throttle stick down to its minimum position. ESC
will emit two beeps (**) confirming the new setting has been stored.
The ESC only allows the setting of one function at a time.
Therefore should you require making changes to other function, disconnect the battery pack and wait 5 seconds to reconnect the
battery and repeat the above steps.
General Safety Precautions
Do not install the propeller (fixed wing) or drive pinion(helicopter) on the motor when you test the ESC and motor for the first time to
verify the correct settings on your radio. Only install your propeller or pinion after you have confirmed that the settings on your
radio is correct.
Never use ruptured or punctured battery cells.
Never use battery packs that are known to overheat.
Never short circuit battery or motor terminals.
Always use proper insulation material for cable insulation.
Always use proper cable connetors.
Do not exceed the number of cells or servos specified by the ESC.
Wrong battery polarity will damage the ESC and void the warranty.
Install the ESC in a suitable location with adequate ventilation for cooling. This ESC has a built-in over temperature cutoff
protection feature that will immediately cut power to the motor once the ESC temperature exceeds the 230 Deg F/ 110 Deg C
high temperature limit.
Use only batteries that are supported by the ESC and ensure the correct polarity before connecting.
Switch your Transmitter ON and ensure the throttle stick is in the minimum position before connecting the battery pack.
Never switch your transmitter OFF while the battery is connected to your ESC.
Only connect your battery pack just before flying and do not leave your battery pack connected after flying.
Handle your model with extreme care once the battery pack is connected and keep away from the propeller at all times. Never
stand in-line or directly in front of any rotating parts.
Do not immerse the ESC underwater while powered up.
Do fly at a designated flying site and abide by the rules and guidelines set by your flying club.
Trouble Shooting
Trouble Possible Reason Action
Motor doesn’t work, but
there are audible tones
of automatically
detection of the
number of cells after
powering up ESC.
The ESC throttle
calibration has not set
up.
Set up the ESC throttle
calibration.
Motor doesn’t work and
no audible tone emitted
after connecting the
battery. Servos are not
working either.
Poor/loose
Connection
between battery
Pack and ESC.
Clean connector terminals
or replace connector.
No power Replace with a freshly
charged battery pack
Poor soldered
connections (dry
joints)
Re-solder the cable
connections
Wrong battery cable
polarity
Check and verify cable
polarity
ESC throttle cable
connected to receiver
in the reverse polarity
Check the ESC cable
connected to the ESC to
ensure the connectors are
in the correct polarity.
Faulty ESC Replace ESC
Motor doesn’t work and
no audible tone emitted
after connecting the
battery BUT servos are
Poor / loose connection
between ESC and
motor
Clean connector terminals
or replace connectors
