TURNIGY Manual for Brushless Motor Speed Controller
1. Brake Setting: Enabled I Disabled, default is Disabled
2.
Battery Type: Li-xx(Li-ion or Lipo) I Ni-xx(NiMH or NiCd), default is Li-xx.
3.
Low Voltage Protection Mode(Cut-Off Mode): Soft Cut-Off (Gradually reduce the output power) or Cut-Off (Immediately stop the
output power). Default is Soft Cut-Off.
4.
Low Voltage Protection Threshold(Cut-Off Threshold): Low I Medium I High, default is Medium.
1) For lithium batteries, the number of battery cells is calculated automatically. Low
I medium I high cutoff voltage for each
cell is: 2.85V/3.15V/3.3V. For example: For a 3 cells lithium pack, when "Medium" cutoff threshold is set, the cut-off
voltage will be:3.15*3=9.45V.
2) For nickel batteries, low
I medium I high cutoff voltages are 0%/50%/65% of the startup voltage (i.e. the initial voltage of
battery pack), and 0% means the low voltage cut-off function is disabled. For example: For a 10 cells NiMH battery, fully
charged voltage is 1.44*10=14.4V, when "Medium" cut-off threshold is set, the cut-off voltage will be:14.4*50%=7.2Vo
5.
Startup Mode: Normal ISoft ISuper-Soft, (300ms I 6s I 12s), default is Normal.
Normal is preferred for fixed-wing aircraft. Soft or Super-soft are preferred for helicopters. The initial acceleration of the Soft and
Super-Soft modes are slower in comparison, usually taking 6 seconds for Soft startup or 12 seconds for Super-Soft startup from
initial throttle advance to full throttle. If the throttle is closed (throttle stick moved to bottom) and opened again (throttle stick moved
to top) within 3 seconds of the initial startup, the restart-up will be temporarily changed to normal mode to get rid of the chances of a
crash caused by slow throttle response. This special design is suitable for aerobatic flight when quick throttle response is needed.

Usually, low timing or medium timing is suitable for most motors. In order to get higher speed and bigger output power, please
choose
High timing.

Note3: In the following instructions, we use the words
of
"Top
position"
and "Bottom
position"
to describe the location
of
the
throttle stick.
Top Position: The throttle value is 100% at this position.
Bottom Position: The throttle value is 0% at this position.
Please start up the ESC in the following sequence:
1. Move throttle stick to the bottom position and then switch on the transmitter.
2. Connect battery pack
to the ESC, the ESC begins self-test process, a special
tone"
)23"
is emitted, which means the voltage
of the battery pack is in normal range, and then N "beep" tones will be emitted, means the number of lithium battery cells. Finally a
long "beep------" tone will be emitted, which means self-test is OK, the aircraft/helicopter is ready to go flying.
• If nothing is happened, please check the battery pack and all the connections;
• If a special
tone"
) 56712" is emitted after 2 beep tones ("bjep-beep-"), means the ESC has entered the program mode, it is
because the throttle channel of your transmitter is reversed, please set it correctly;
• If the very rapid "beep-beep-, beep-beep-" tones is emitted, means the input voltage is too low or too high, please check your
battery's voltage.
3.
"'IIJIM,ql'.'!"
Because different transmitter has different throttle range, we strongly suggest calibrating throttle range
before flying. Please read the instruction
on
page 3------"Throttle Range Setting"
voltage is abnormal: The ESC begins to check the voltage when the battery pack is connected, if the voltage is not in the
acceptable range, such an alert tone will be emitted: "beep-beep-, beep-beep-,beep-beep-" (Every "beep-beep-" has a time interval
of about 1 second. )
2. Throttle signal is abnormal: When the ESC can't detect the normal throttle signal, such an alert tone will be emitted: "beep-, beep-,
beep-". (Every "beep-" has a time interval of about 2 seconds)
3. Throttle stick is not in the bottom position: When the throttle stick is not in bottom (lowest) position, a very rapid alert tone will be
emitted: "beep-, beep-, beep-". (Every "beep-" has a time interval of about 0.25 second.)
protection: If the motor fails to start within 2 seconds of throttle application, the ESC will cut-off the output power. In
this case, the throttle stick
MUST be moved to the bottom again to restart the motor. (Such a situation happens in the following
cases: The connection between ESC and motor is not reliable, the propeller or the motor is blocked, the gearbox is damaged, etc.)
2. Over-heat protection: When the temperature of
tireESC is over 110 Celsius degrees, the ESC will reduce the output power.
3. Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will reduce the output power if throttle signal is lost for 1 second, further loss for 2 seconds
will cause its output to be cut-off completely.
to "Super-Soft", i.e. value #3 in the programmable item #5
1. Enter Program Mode
Switch on transmitter, move throttle stick to top position, connect battery pack to ESC, wait for 2 seconds, "beep-beep" tone should be
emitted. Then wait for another 5 seconds, special tone
like")
56712" should be emitted, which means program mode is entered.
2. Select Programmable Items
Now you'll hear 8 tones in a loop. When a long "beep------" tone is emitted, move throttle stick to bottom to enter the "Start Mode"
3. Set Item Value (Programmable Value)
"Beep-", wait for 3 seconds;
"Be~~-beep-",
wait for another 3 seconds; then you'll hear "beep-beep-beep", move throttle stick to top
position, then a special
tone"
Jl1515" is emitted, now you have set the "Start Mode" item to the value of "Super-Soft"
4. Exit Program Mode
After the special
tone"
)1515", move throttle stick to bottom within 2 seconds.
