Thank you for purchasing HobbyKing Brushless Electronic Speed

Controller(ESC).

High power systems for RC model can be very dangerous and we strongly suggest

that you read this manual carefully. HobbyKing Model have no control over the use,

installation, application, or maintenance of these products, thus no liability shall be

assumed nor accepted for any damages, losses of costs resulting from the use of this

item. Any claims arising from the operating, failure or malfunctioning etc. will be

denied. We assume no liability for personal injury, property damage or consequential

damages resulting from our product or our workmanship. As far as is legally permitted, the obligation for compensation is

limited to the invoice amount of the product in question.

The HobbyKing ESC’s high power BEC has been specifically designed for extreme aerobatics and therefore has the capability

to support the higher momentary peak demand loads to eliminate the possibility of unwanted shutdowns, and is also capable of

supporting continuous simultaneous multiple servo operations typically found in CCPM equipped hardcore 3D E-helicopters.

Wires Connection:

The speed controller can be connected to the motor by soldering directly or with high quality connectors. Always use new

connectors, which should be soldered carefully to the cables and insulated with heat shrink tube. The maximum length of the

battery pack wires shall be within 6 inches.

 Solder controller to the motor wires.

 Solder appropriate connectors to the battery wires.

 Insulate all solder connectors with heat shrink tubes.

 Plug the “JR” connector into the receiver throttle channel.

 Controller Red and Black wires connects to battery pack Red and Black wires respectively.

Restore- Sets the ESC back to factory default settings; Brake： off Battery type Detect： LiPo with Automatic Cell Low voltage cutoff threshold： Medium (3.0V/65%) Timing setup： Automatic Soft Acceleration Start Up： Medium Governor mode ： OFF Frequency ： 8kHz Low voltage cutoff type： Reduce power 5.Timing setup : Automatic/ Low / High. * Automatic – ESC automatically determines the optimum motor timing * Low (7-22 deg) – Setting for most 2 pole motors. * High(22-30 deg)-setting for motors with 6 or more poles.

Although 16kHz is more efficient with our Thrust motors, the setup default is 8kHz due to the higher RF noises caused at 16kHz. 10.Low Voltage Cutoff Type : Reduce Power / Hard cutoff * Reduce Power – ESC reduces motor power when the pre-set (recommended). * Hard Cutoff – ESC instantly cuts motor power when the pre-set Low Voltage Protection Threshold value is reached.

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.

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.

powering up the ESC. An alert tone with a single beeping tone followed by a short pause (* * * * ) is emitted. Motor doesn’t work after powering up the ESC .An alert tone with continuous beeping tones (****) is emitted. Motor doesn’t work after powering up the ESC. ESC emits two long audible tones followed by two short beeps(_ _ * * ) throttle signal from the receiver connected to the Throttle channel on the receiver. Check the transmitter and receiver to verify that there is throttle signal output.

Trouble Motor restarts abnormally ESC Overheats Possible Reason Possible RF Interference at the flying field. Inadequate Ventilation Servos drawing too much current and over loading the ESC. Over sized motor or prop Action The normal operation of the ESC may be susceptible to surrounding RF interference. Restart the ESC to resume normal operation on the ground to verify recurrence. If the problem persists, test the operation of the ESC at a different flying field.
