TURNIGY Manual for Brushless Speed Controller 121109.1

- 1 -

This manual is ONLY suitable for SENTILON-80A-HV and SENTILON-100A-HV Electronic Speed Controller!

Thanks for purchasing our

Electronic Speed Controller (ESC). High power system for RC model can be very dangerous, so we

strongly suggest you read this manual carefully. In that we have no control over the correct use, installation, application, or

maintenance of our products, no liability shall be assumed nor accepted for any damages, losses or costs resulting from the

use of the product. Any claims arising from the operating, failure or malfunctioning etc. will be denied. We assume no liability

for personal injury, property damage or consequential damages resulting from our product or our workmanship. As far as is

legally permitted, the obligation to compensation is limited to the invoice amount of the affected product.

【Features】

1. Use extreme low resistance PCB to make

he whole ESC with super current endurance capability.

2. Military standard capacitors with extreme low resistance increase the ability for preventing unwanted RF Noise/ Interference.

3. Protection features: Low-voltage cutoff protection / over-heat protection / throttle signal lost protection.

4. 3 start modes: Normal / Soft / Super-Soft, compatible with fixed-wing aircraft and helicopter models.

5. Throttle range can be configured, fully compatible with all market available transmitters.

6. Smooth and accurate speed control, excellent throttle linearity.

7. Maximum speed: 210000 RPM (2 poles motor), 70000 RPM (6 poles motor), 35000 RPM (12 poles motor).

8. Pocket- sized program card can be purchased separately for extremely easy programming of the ESC at the field.

【Wiring Diagram】

Note

: There are 2 control wires on the HV controller. The longer one is close to the positive battery wire, which is connected with the

receiver, and the shorter one is close to the negative battery wire, which can be connected with the program card to set the

programmable parameters of the controller.

【Anti-Spark Circuit】

There is a pair of bullet connectors and a thin red wire attached with the positive input wire (red color, thick) of the ESC. They are used to

eliminate sparks when the battery pack is connecting with the ESC. Please use it in the following sequence:

1. Disconnect the bullet connectors on the positive input wire (red color, thick) of the ESC.

2. Connect battery wires to the ESC.

3. Connect the bullet connectors on the positive input wire (red color, thick) of the ESC as soon as you hear the special tone “♪123”.

【Feature Explanation】

1. Brake：Brake Enabled / Brake Disabled, default is Brake Disabled

2. Battery Type：Li-xx(Li-ion or Li-po) / Ni-xx(NiMh or Nicd)，default is Li-xx.

3. Low Voltage Protection Mode(Cutoff Mode)：Soft Cutoff (Gradually reduces the output power) or Hard Cutoff (Immediately stops

the output power), default is Soft Cutoff.

4. Low Voltage Protection Threshold(Cutoff Threshold)：Low / Medium / High, default is Medium.

 For Li-xx battery，the number of battery cells are calculated automatically，low / medium / high cutoff voltage for each cell are:

2.6V/2.85V/3.1V. For example: 10 cells Lipo, when medium cutoff voltage is set, the cutoff voltage is: 2.85*10=28.5V.

 For Ni-xx battery, low / medium / high cutoff voltages are 0%/45%/60% of the startup voltage (i.e. the initial voltage of battery

pack), 0% means the low voltage protection function is disabled. For example:20 cells NiMH battery, fully charged voltage is

1.44*20=28.8V, when “Medium” value is set, the cutoff voltage is: 28.8*45%=12.96V。

5. Start Mode：Normal /Soft /Super-soft, default is Normal startup.

Normal is suitable for fixed-wing aircraft. Soft and Super-soft are suitable for helicopters. The initial speed of Soft and Super-soft

mode is very slow, it will take 3 seconds (Soft startup) or 6 seconds (Super-soft startup) from startup to full speed. But if the motor is

running, then the throttle is closed (throttle stick is moved to bottom) and opened again (throttle stick is moved upwards) within 3

seconds, the restart will be temporarily changed to normal mode to get rid of the chances of crash caused by slow throttle response

in aerobatic fly.

6. Timing：Low / Medium / High, default is Low.

121109.1 TURNIGY Manual for Brushless Speed Controller In normal cases, Low or Medium timing can be suitable for most motors. In order to get higher speed, try the High timing value. Note: After you changing the timing setting, please test your RC model on ground firstly! 【Begin To Use The New ESC】 Before using your new ESC, please check all the connections to make sure that they are reliable, and then start up the ESC in the following sequence: 1.

121109.1 TURNIGY Manual for Brushless Speed Controller After power on, motor can’t work, a special tone “ ” is emitted after 2 beep tone (beep-beep-) The motor runs in opposite direction The motor stop running while in working state The direction of throttle channel is reversed, so the ESC has entered the program mode The connection between ESC and the motor need to be changed.

121109.1 TURNIGY Manual for Brushless Speed Controller 2. In “Li-Po cells number” setting process, 1 long “beep—” = 5 short “beep-”. For example, 2 long “beep—” plus 2 short “beep-” means a 12 cells lithium battery pack, 1 long “beep—” plus 1 short “beep-” means a 6 cells lithium battery pack. 3. If you are using lithium battery pack, we strongly suggest setting the “Li-Po cells number” manually.
