Initial setup:
Connect the Motor to the ESC to hear the beeps. After connecting the battery (red = plus, black =
minus) you hear 3 descending tones. Subsequently, follows a number of beeps according to the
cell number of the connected Lipo battery (two rapid beeps for 2s, three beeps for 3s…and s
on…6s). When connecting with 7-14s, you will hear two high pitch beeps and two low pitch beeps;
after that the ESC is ready for working when you hear 3 ascending tones.
If the motor turns in the wrong direction, simply exchange 2 of the 3 motor wires.
Use only clean and tight gold connectors for motor and battery. The 5.5mm / 6mm PK connectors
have proven to be the best choice.
Pay attention for the battery connector to choose a polarity safe
system.
Exchange low-friction or oxidized plugs and sockets. Because only tight sitting contacts
will ensure a high current flow, protect the speed controller against dangerous voltage peaks and
avoid disturbances.
The entire wire length, from the controller to the battery, may not exceed 20cm. If longer wires are
necessary, a Low ESR switching capacitor of high frequency with low internal resistance should
be soldered between plus and minus wires every 20cm. Then please twist the 3 lines, in order to
minimize interference emission from the transmitter.
Note: Inverting the Battery polarity leads to heavy damage and to the loss of warranty!!!
General settings:
The speed controller has a fixed throttle curve setting, so that with all usual transmitters the stop
and full power points are linearly connected.
With all programmable transmitters, the throttle
range should be set to default setting (±100%), the center point set to zero and throttle trim
enabled. Nevertheless, with some transmitter types the range needs to be adjusted. For that the
throttle endpoints have to be set two notches: one notch before lowest stick position the motor is
stopped and that one notch before full power the motor is actually at full power. Full power is
