YGE Brushless – Electronic Speed Controllers (ESC)
Operating instructions for the RC-Setup
Features:
–6 step adjustable timing or automatic timing adjustment
–Lipo(Auto) / NiMh adjustable.
–Adjustable brake. Hardness and speed are proportional to the soft start.
–Full utilization of stick range by programming in the RC-Setup
–PWM switching rate of 8KHz-16KHz adjustable in 1KHz-steps!!
–With the PWM switching rate applies as little as possible and as much as necessary. Higher frequency for low inductive
motors, lower frequency for less switching losses.
–Speed regulation with PI-controller.
–Active free-wheel. Can be disabled with ProgCard II.
–Active free-wheel reduces clearly the losses in the partial load range, but can however lead in rare cases to problems.
In relation with speed regulation it can come to rougher transitions form part load to full load, avoid therefore full power
switching in speed controller mode.
RC-Setup:
General beep sequences outside of the RC-Setup:
Constant monotonous beep signals the programming mode.
A descending beep sequence signals recognition of receiver signals.
A ascending beep sequence signals that the ESC is armed! Caution!
Afterwards (after active signaling) other beeps are following to indicate the recognized or adjusted battery type.
The correct setting are particularly important with Lipos and BEC operation, therefore an acoustic control takes place
after every power on of the ESC.
In case of Lipo-setting (Lipo auto-mode 2-6 (14) cells):
● 2 identical beeps => 2S Lipos recognized ♪ ♪
● 3 identical beeps => 3S Lipos recognized ♪ ♪ ♪
etc...
To have a successful recognition even with more than 3 cells, the battery pack should always be fully charged!
Otherwise, with high cell numbers, it can happen that a cell is missed and thus the under voltage protection would trigger
too late.
With the optionally available YGE ProgCard II the number of cells can also be set permanently.
With more than 6 cells the beep sequence becomes

, as following the count of so many beep seems unrealistic.
Such high numbers of cells should not be operated in the auto mode anyway. We recommend then to set the number of
cells permanently with the ProgCard II.
The under voltage protection is triggered at 3.1V per cell. This is a conservative value however it leads to a longer Lipo
life! It is important to verify the recognized cell count to avoid false under voltage triggering.
A fixed under voltage limit can only be programmed with the ProgCard II. You can also set the specific limits for LiFePO
with the ProgCard II.
With Ni-based batteries (NiCd/NiMh)

under voltage limit is about approx. 0.65 x open circuit voltage of a cell.
Thus with 1,3V open circuit voltage before flight, the limit will be 0,91V/cell.
Generally only sufficiently charged batteries should be connected before a flight for a reliable under voltage detection.
Freely programmable voltage activated:
● 2x2 different beeps low/high/low/high => Programmed under voltage limit is active (default 12V for future PC-
Setup)

The basis setup goes relatively quick. One should read this thoroughly before running it. Otherwise one may not be able
