Spektrum Avian Manual

Operation

1. Leave the transmitter throttle at the low position and connect a

battery to the ESC. The ESC will cause the motor to make several

tones.

The number of tones indicates (1) the ESC is in operation (2) the

LiPo cell count detected and (3) the ESC is in a ready-to-use state.

2. Unplug the battery to

turn off the ESC.

Failsafe Protections

Start-up Protection:

The ESC will monitor the motor speed during the start-

up process. If the RPM of the motor is not responding as

expected, the ESC will detect a start-up failure.

In the event of a start-up failure;

• If the throttle is less than 15%, the ESC will try to restart

automatically.

• If the throttle is more than 20%, the throttle stick must

be moved back to the bottom position before the ESC will

allow a restart.

ESC Thermal Protection:

1. The motor will not start if the temperature exceeds 70˚C when the

ESC is powered on.

2. If the ESC temperature goes above 110˚C during operation, the

ESC will redu

ce the output power to 60%. This automatic

power reduction helps protect the ESC from failure while

still providing some power to the motor to prevent a crash.

The ESC will gradually resume normal operation when the

temperature drops back within the operating speciﬁcations.
