20 Amp ESC:
Reminder: All Li-Po battery packs must be
cha
rged by Li-Po specific chargers only!
Failu
re to follow these instructions may result
in
a fire!
Programming Your ESC:
1. To enter the programming mode, the controller
must
be powered up with the throttle in full position
and
held there for 5 seconds.
2.
When this is done, the ESC will be in the setup
mode
and will beep three times indicating this.
3.
Once in this programming mode, return the throttle
to
mid-stick within 3 seconds, and the ESC will
sc
roll through the menu.
When
in the programming mode, select yes (up) or no
(down)
as follows:
Yes: Move throttle stick to full for approximately 1
second
(controller will beep once), then return to
mid
-stick.
No:
Move throttle stick to low throttle for 1 second
(cont
roller will beep once), and then return to
mid-stick.
A. Menu Item 1: Voltage Auto Cutoff
1 beep – auto cutoff
* Need to act within 5 seconds:
Li-Po – up (see above)
Ni-MH – down (stock setting)
After the setting of this parameter, the controller will
wait
approximately 3 seconds before moving to next
menu
item.
B. Menu Item 2: Brake Setting
2 beeps – brake setting
* Need to act within 5 seconds:
Brake off – up (stock setting)
Brake on – down
C. Menu Item 3: Motor Timing
3 beeps – motor timing
* Need to act within 5 seconds:
Outrunner (and 4-pole or greater motors) – up
Inrunner (2-pole motors) – down (stock setting)
After
setting the desired parameters, simply power
down
the ESC and then rearm the controller.
Motor Arming:
The ESC will not arm the motor until the throttle stick
is
moved to low throttle and held there for 1 second or
mo
re. Three consecutive beeps will indicate this.
Step 7
The Typhoon
™
3D PNP
™
can be powered by either a
9-cell 10.8V 1000mAh Ni-MH or a 3S 11.1V 2100mAh
Li-Po battery pack. Using the Thunder Power 3S battery
will greatly increase the power, performance, and flight
time of your Typhoon 3D PNP.
The ESC comes with the auto-cut voltage set for the
9-cell Ni-MH battery pack. You must reprogram the
voltage automatic cutoff if you are planning to fly with
the 3S Li-Po battery. Failure to do this will result in
permanent damage to your battery pack.
