User Manual
Warranty:
We give 6 months warranty on this speed regulator. Any other requirements are excluded. That
applies in particular to requirements for damage or injuries compensation due to malfunction or
failure. For damages to property or personal injuries and their consequences, which developed
from our supply or craftsmanship, we do not take any liability, since we have no control on handling
and use.
If your motor manufacturer indicates a timing recommendation, it is of course preferable to use it.
Basic rule: the higher the timing the higher the full power rpm.
The easiest to make these changes is the ProgCard II.
There is also the possibility to perform the setup with the RC-Setup.
Please notice that the complete features set can only be reached through the ProgCard II.
In case you get inadvertently in the programming mode during a normal start-up (throttle stick at
full power), simply disconnect the battery, lower the stick to stop, and connect the battery again.
Thus you won’t modify the adjustments.
Lipo protection / under-voltage protection:
By default the Power will be reduced, when then battery reaches undervoltage detection threshold.
Active free-wheel:
The unlimited partial load capability refers to the maximum full power current of the ESC.
Temperature / overload warning:
If the speed controller’s temperature exceeds its limit, because of overloading or lack of cooling,
after landing and/or motor stop, a warning signal is issued (3 Beeps in the interval). But the motor
is not switched o in ight unless the temperature becomes extremely critical, then the motor
switched o.
The partial load operation between half and nearly full power is the most dicult area for an ESC. In
addition the running time becomes longer and longer with the Lipo technology. If it should come to
repeated temperature warnings, better cooling should be provided or current should be reduced.
These warnings are to be regarded as overload warnings and not as normal operating condition.
Because at high temperature the components are strongly stressed, this leads to a decreased life
time.
You achieve a better cooling not only through suciently dimensioned air intake, but even more
eciently through a larger air outtake, in order to avoid a heat accumulation. You achieve smaller
currents by using a smaller propeller or a one cell smaller battery.
Opto coupler:
In the case of the use of an external BEC the galvanicseparation of the opto-coupler is bypassed,
which can possibly feed disturbances through to the receiver. Herewe recommend the use of our
ferrite core for additional ltering.
Caution:
Fundamentally it is important to make sure that no objects are within the propeller circle when
batteries are connected. The use of this speed controller is therefore allowed only in situations
where damages and personal injuries are impossible. A damaged governor (e.g. broken,
damaged by polarity inversion or humidity) must not be reused under any circumstances.
Otherwise it can come to a later
malfunctions or failures.
The ESC may only be powered from batteries, a use from power supplies is not allowed.
