)
For
lithium
batteries,
the number
of battery cells is calculated
automatically.
Low / medium
/ high cutoff vollage for
each
cell is: 2.85Vi3.'15V/3.3V.
For
example: For a 3 cells lithium
pack,
when
"Medium"
cutoff
threshold is set,
the cut-off
voltage will
be:3.1 5.3=9.45V
2)
For nickel batteries,
low / medium
/ high cutoff voltages
are 0%/50%/65%
of the
stadup
voltage (i.e.
the initiat voltage
of
battery
pack),
and 0% means
the low voltage cut-off function
is disabled.
For example:
For a 1 O cells NiMH
battery, fully
chargedvoltageis1.44.10=14.4V,when
Medium
cut-offthresholdisset,thecutoffvoltagewillbe:14.4-50%=7.2V
5. Startup Mode:
Normal /Soft
/Super-Soft,
(300ms
/ 6s i 1 2s), defautt 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 SupetrSoft
startup from
initialthrottleadvancetofullthrottle.
lfthethrottleisclosed(throttlestickmovedtobottom)andopenedagain(throtilestickmoved
to top) wiihin
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 responsc
This special design is
suitable for
aerobatic flight
when
quick
throtile response
is needed.

choose High timing.
Note2i
After changing the timing

before taking off!
Begin To Use
Your New ESC
Note3: ln
the
following
instructions,
we
use the words of
"Top
position"
and
"Boltom
position"
to describe the location
of the
throttle stick.
Top Position:
The throttle
value is
100% at this
positian.
Bottom
Position: The throttle
valua is
)ak at this
position.
Please start up the
ESC in lhe following
scquence:
1 . Move
throttle stick to the
bottom
posrt
on
and then switch
on
the
transmitter.
2.

" .:23"
is emitted,
which means the voltage
of the battery

after 2 beep tones
("beep-beep-

means
the ESC has entered the

because the throttle

of
your
transmitter
is
reversed,
please
set it correcily;
.
lf the very rapid
"beep-beep-,

please
check

3---"Throttle Range
Setting"
Al€rt Tone
1.
lnput 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 slgnal,
such
an alert tone will be emitted:
"beep-,
beep-,
beep-'.
(Every
"beep.
has a time
intorval of
about 2 seconds)
3. Throttle stick is not in
the bottom
posil
on: When the throttle
stick is not in
bottom
(lowest) position,
a very rapid
alert
tone
will be
emitted: beep-,beep-,beep-.(Every
beep- hasatimeintervalofabout0.25second.)
Protection Function
1. Start up failure
protection:
lf the
motor fa ls
to slart within 2 seconds
of throttle
application,
the ESC will
cut-off
the output
power.
ln
this
case, the throttle st
ck MUST
be nroved lo the
bottom again to reslart
the motor. (Such
a siiuation happens in the followinq
cases:
The connection between
ESC and
motor is
not reliable, the
propeller
or the
motor is blocked, the
gearbox
is damaged, etc.)
2. Ovetrheat
protectlon:
When
the temporalu
re of the ESC is
over 1 10 Ceisius
deg rees,
the ESC w ll reduce
the output
power.
3.
Throttle signal loss
protectron:
The ESC will
reduce the output
power
if throttle
signal is lost
for 1 second, further loss for
2 seconds
wrll cause its
output to be cut-off
coml)lelely.
