Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Ripmax Quantum Brushless Electronic Speed Controller (ESC).

Electric motors can be very dangerous, so please read this manual carefully.

Installation

If not already pre-fitted, connectors should be soldered carefully to the cables and insulated

with heat shrink tube to avoid a short circuit. Ensure that you use connectors that are

suitable for the peak power draw. Install the ESC in a position that has good airflow for

optimum cooling.

Warning

Please remove the propeller/rotors when programming the ESC and ensure that the

motor is clear of obstacles. Take care to ensure loose screws, nuts and washers are not

magnetically attracted to the insides of the motor or this will also damage the ESC.

Settings (Words in bold are default settings)

1. Brake (ON/OFF )

2. Battery Type (NiMH/LiPo)

3. Low Voltage Cut Off Type (Soft/Hard cut)

4. Cut off Voltage Threshold (Low/Medium/High)

• For Li-XX packs, the number of cells are automatically calculated (providing the pack is

fully charged). Low (2.8V) / Medium (3.0V) / High (3.2V)

• For Ni-XX/LiFe packs - (Low / Medium / High)

Cut Off voltages are 0-60-65% of the initial voltage of the battery pack.

0% means no protection.

5. Motor Timing (Low/Medium/High)

In most cases, medium timing works well for all types of motors. However, some motors require different timing, so we therefore suggest you follow the recommendations of the motor manufacturer. 6. Soft Acceleration Startup Mode (Soft/Medium/Hard) 7. Governor (Off/On) When set “On” there will be an 8 second delay from start to full RPM. After start up, if the throttle is cut for less than 3 seconds the next start will be in “Off” mode.
