Anleitung / Manual Hacker A30 Brushless Motor

- The maximum allowable motor speed on the A30 motors is 18,000 revolutions per minute. For

safety’s sake, care must be taken not to exceed this limit. When using a gearbox, take into

consideration that the motor rpm may be calculated by multiplying the propeller rpm by the

gearbox ratio.

- Since it is possible for an electric motor to start following connection to a battery (for example

from improper operation, an electrical defect, or interference), extreme caution must be

exercised upon making this connection!

- Electric motors have the potential to cause injury. This risk increases when the motor is rotating

a propeller that may also strike and propel other objects.

- Hacker Brushless Motors may only be used when the potential for personal and property

damage has been eliminated.

- A damaged motor (for example electrical, mechanical or moisture damage) may not under any

circumstances continue to be used. Doing so may result in sudden motor damage in the future.

- Hacker Brushless Motors may only be used in an environment free from the risk of static

electrical discharges.

- Hacker Brushless Motors may only be supplied with electricity from batteries connected to an

appropriate brushless controller (see above). The connection to a power supply is not permitted.

- Under no circumstances a Hacker Brushless Motor should be connected to an electrical network

based on alternating current (e.g. 100-230V).

- The use of these motors in man-carrying vehicles, whether airborne or otherwise, is not

permitted.

2. Allgemeine Hinweise / General notes

Alle Hacker-Brushless-Motoren sind bürstenlose Motoren. d.h., sie benötigen eine Kommutierung im

Drehzahlsteller. Dafür sind die Drehzahlsteller der MASTER-Serie und der X-Serie vorgesehen.

Ein Betrieb dieser Motoren mit herkömmlichen Drehzahlstellern für Bürstenmotoren oder mittels

direktem Anschluß an eine Stromquelle ist deshalb nicht möglich. Eine solche Vorgehensweise wird

den Hacker-Brushless-Motor zerstören.

Hacker Brushless Motors are as the name implies brushless motors requiring commutation, i.e.

the conversion of direct current into alternating current, in the speed controller. Consequently

they are intended for use with brushless sensorless speed controllers like the MASTER series and

X-series controllers.

Operating Hacker Brushless Motors with conventional controllers intended for use with brushed

motors, or when directly connected to an energy source like a battery pack or power supply, is

therefore not permitted and will result in the destruction of the motor.
