Throttle Signal
SMART Throttle*:
Spektrum
™
Avian
™
ESCs are compatible with SMART Throttle.
SMART Throttle combines throttle signals with telemetry data from
the ESC on one normal three-wire servo connector. SMART Throttle
compatible receivers will automatically detect a SMART Throttle
ESC and begin to send telemetry information to your transmitter.
Using the SMART Throttle connection, this ESC can send
voltage current and other telemetry data. It can also pass along
battery data from compatible Spektrum SMART batteries. A
Spektrum SMART battery with an IC
™
connector is required for
battery data. EC
™
connectors are compatible for basic operation, but
will not provide SMART battery data.
Only certain Spektrum telemetry receivers include SMART
Throttle ; check your receiver manual for more information. If the
ESC is not connected to a SMART Throttle compatible receiver,
no telemetry data from the ESC will be available, but the ESC
will operate normally with a common servo signal (PWM).
*A Spektrum DSMX transmitter with telemetry is required for
SMART Throttle.
Normal Servo Signal (PWM):
If you plug the Avian ESC into any common RC receiver the
ESC will still be compatible with a conventional servo signal for
basic operation.
