NORMAL ESC START UP PROCEDURE
1. Switch your Transmitter ON and set the throttle to its minimum position.
2. Connect the battery pack to the ESC.
3. When the ESC is first powered up, it emits two sets of audible tones in succession
indicating its working status.
* The first set of tones denotes the number of cells in the LiPo pack connected to the
ESC. (Three beeps (***)indicates a 3 cell LiPo pack while 4 beeps (****) indicates a
4 cell LiPo pack).
* The second set of tones denotes Brake status (one beep(*) for Brake “ON” and two
beeps (**) for Brake “OFF”).
The ESC is now ready for use.
General Safety Precautions
Do not install the propeller (fixed wing) or drive pinion(helicopter) on the motor when
you test the ESC and motor for the first time to verify the correct settings on your
radio. Only install your propeller or pinion after you have confirmed that the settings
on your radio is correct.
● Never use ruptured or punctured battery cells.
● Never use battery packs that are known to overheat.
Check the placement of the ESC
and the Receiver and check the
route of the receiver’s aerial and
ESC cables to ensure there is
adequate separation to prevent
RF interference.
Install a ferrite ring on the ESC’s
throttle cable.
Battery Pack voltage has reached
the Low Voltage Protection
threshold.
Land the model immediately and
replace the battery pack.
Possible bad cable connection
Check and verify the integrity of
the cable connections
Motor restarts abnormally ESC
Overheats
Possible RF Interference at the
flying field.
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.
Inadequate
Ventilation
Relocate the ESC to allow better
ventilation
Servos drawing too much current
and over loading the ESC.
Use servos that are adequately
sized for the ESC. The maximum
BEC current drawn should be
within the BEC limits.
Over sized motor or prop
Reduce Prop size or resize the
motor
