USER MANUAL OF PROGRAM CARD
Thank you for purchasing the program card for the brushless electronic speed controller
(ESC). With this equipment, you can set the ESC very easily. The program card is pocket-
sized and has a very friendly user-interface.
SPECIFICATION
1. SIZE: 92mm * 52mm * 6mm
2. WEIGHT: 26g
FRONT PANEL
1. Use “up/down” button to select the
programmable item, use “left/right” button to
select the options of each programmable item;
2. Brake: When “Brake” is ON, the motor will stop
immediately when the throttle stick is moved to
the lowest position;
3. Low Voltage Protection Mode (Cut-off Type):
When “Soft-Cut” is selected, the ESC will
gradually reduce the output power. When “Cut-
Off” is selected, the ESC will immediately shut
off the output power.
4. Low Voltage Protection Threshold (Cut-off
Voltage): Please check the user manual of the
ESC to get detail information about this item.
5. Music/Lipo Cells:
The 4 LEDs have different meanings for the
normal voltage ESC (works with 2S to 6S Lipo)
or the high voltage ESC (works with more than
6S Lipo).
• For ESC without a postx character of “HV”, for example, “Flyfun-60A”, 4 LEDs
have 16 possible states, representing 16 rhythms for ESC. The ESC will play the
music when it is started. (Please refer to the Table 1 in the next page)
• For ESC with a postx character of “HV”, for example, “Flyfun-100A-HV”, 4 LEDs
represent the number of Lipo battery cells amount (Please refer to the Table 2 in
the next page)
WIRING SEQUENCE
A) When you are using an ESC with a built-in BEC (Battery Elimination Circuit)
1. Disconnect the main battery pack from the ESC
2. For ESC with a built-in BEC, please disconnect the Rx cable (trio wires) of the ESC
from your receiver, and then connect it to the program card at the top right corner
position marked with “BEC”.
3. Connect the main battery
pack to the ESC
4. The LEDs on the program
card will light to show the
current programmable
values of the ESC
NOTE1: The sequence of
Step 2 and Step 3 cannot be
reversed! Otherwise the
program card cannot work
properly.
B) When you are using an
ESC without a built-in BEC
If the ESC is marked with “OPTO” (For example, Flyfun-80A-OPTO) , that means this ESC
hasn’t a built-in BEC, then you must use an additional battery pack (4.8-6V) to supply the
program card, and usually a receiver battery pack is a good choice. By the way, most of the
high voltage ESC (works up to 10 or 12S Lipo) hasn’t built-in BEC.
1. Disconnect the main battery pack from the ESC
2. Disconnect the Rx cable (trio wires) of the ESC from your receiver, and then connect it
to the program card at the top right corner position marked with “BEC”
For high voltage ESC (with a postx character of “HV”), if it has an individual data
cable (that is a very short trio wire just nearby the Rx cable), please disconnect the Rx
cable of the ESC from your receiver, and then connect the individual data cable to the
program card at the position marked with “BEC”
3. Connect the receiver battery pack (4.8-6V) to the program card at the top right corner
position marked with “Batt”
4. Connect the main battery pack to the ESC
5. The LEDs on the program card will light to show the current programmable values of
the ESC
NOTE2: The sequence of Step 2, step 3 and Step 4 cannot be reversed! Otherwise
the program card cannot work properly.
NOTE3: Don’t use a battery pack higher than 6V to supply the program card!
OPERATION
Click the “up/down” button to select the programmable item, the corresponding LED
will blink. Then click the “left/right” button to select the options of this item, the ashing
LED shows the value you are just selecting. Finally, click the “OK” button, the blue LED
will blink, which means the new settings are being transmitted to the ESC. When the
data transmission is nished, the blue LED stops blinking, it means the new settings are
accepted and stored in the ESC.
