Brake Setting˖Enabled / Disabled, default is Disabled2.Battery Type˖Li-xx(Li-ion or Lipo) /Ni-xx(NiMH or NiCd)ˈdefault is Li-xx.3.Low Voltage Protection Mode(Cut-Off Mode)˖Soft Cut-Off (Gradually reduce the output power) or Cut-Off (Immediately stop theoutput power). Default is Soft Cut-Off.4.Low Voltage Protection Threshold(Cut-Off Threshold)˖Low / Medium / High, default is Medium.1) For lithium batteries, the cells quantity of a battery pack iscalculated automatically. Low / medium / high cutoff voltagefor eachcell is: 2.85V / 3.15V / 3.3V. For example: For a 3 cells lithium pack, when3MHGLXP ́FXWRIIthreshold is set, the cut-off voltageof this battery pack will be: 3.15*3=9.45V.2) For nickel batteries, low / medium / high cutoff voltages are 0%/50%/65% of the startup voltage (it means the initial voltage of acharged battery pack), and 0% means the low voltage cut-off function is disabled. For example: For a 10 cells NiMH battery,fully charged voltage is 1.44*10=14.4VZKHQ3Medium ́FXW-off threshold is chosen, the cut-off voltage will be: 14.4*50%=7.2V.5.Startup Mode˖Normal /Soft /Super-Soft ,(300ms / 6s /12s),default is Normal.Normal is preferred for fixed-wing aircraft.Soft or Super-soft are preferred for helicopters. The acceleration of the Soft andSuper-Softmodes are slower in comparison, usually taking 6 seconds for Soft startup or 12 seconds for Super-Soft startup from zero throttle advanceto full throttle. If the throttle is closed (throttle stick moved to the bottom position, zero throttle) and opened again (throttle stick movedupward) within 3 seconds after the initial startup, the restart-up will be temporarily changed to normal mode to get rid of thechances of acrash caused by slow throttle response. This special design is suitable for aerobatic flight when quick throttle response is needed.6.Timing˖Low / Medium / High,( 3.75e/15e/26.25e),default is Low.Note2Usually, low timing or medium timing is suitable for most motors. In order to get higher speed and bigger output power, pleasechooseHightiming.Note2:After changing the timing setting, please testyour RC model on ground before taking off!Begin To Use Your New ESCNote3:,QWKHIROORZLQJLQVWUXFWLRQVZHXVHWKHZRUGVRI37RSSRVLWLRQ ́DQG3%RWWRPSRVLWLRQ ́WRindicate the location of the throttlestick.Top Position:The throttle value is 100% at this position.Bottom Position:The throttle value is 0% at this position.Please start the ESC in the following sequences:1. Move throttle stick to the bottom position (zero throttle) and then switch on the transmitter.2. Connect battery pack to the ESC, the ESC begins the self-test process, a special tone3123 ́emits, means the voltage of the batterypack is in normal range, and then N3beep ́tones emits, means the cells quantity ofa lithium battery pack. Finally a long3beep------ ́toneemits, means the self-test is OK, and the aircraft/helicopter is ready to take off.If nothing is happened, please check the battery pack and all the connections;If a special tone3 ́emits after 2 beep tones (3beep-beep- ́), means the ESC has entered the program mode, it is because thethrottle channel of your transmitter is reversed, please set it correctly;If the very rapid3beep-beep-, beep-beep- ́tones emits, means the input voltage is too low or too high, please check your battery¶svoltage.3.3VERY IMPORTANT! ́Because different transmitter has different throttle range, please calibrate throttle range before flying. Pleaseread the instruction on page 2------3Throttle Range Setting ́.Alert Tone1. Input voltage is abnormal: The ESC begins to check the voltagewhen the battery pack is connected, if the voltage is not inthe acceptablerange, such an alertWRQH ZLOO EH HPLWWHG 3beep-beep-, beep-beep-,beep-beep- ́(Every3beep-beep- ́has a time interval of about 1second. )2. Throttle signal is abnormal: When the ESC can¶t detect the normal throttle signal, such an alertWRQHZLOOEHHPLWWHG3beep-, beep-, beep- ́.(Every3beep- ́has a time interval of about 2 seconds)3. Throttle stick is not in the bottom position: When the throttle stick is not in bottom (lowest) position, a very rapid alerttone will be emitted:3beep-, beep-, beep- ́. (Every3beep- ́has a time interval of about 0.25 second.)Protection Function1. Start up failure protection: If the motor fails to start within 2 seconds, then the ESC will cut-off the output power. In this case, the throttlestickMUSTbe moved to the bottom position (zero throttle) again to restart the motor. (Such a situation happens in the following cases:The connection between ESC and motor is not reliable, the propeller or the motor is blocked, etc.)2. Over-heat protection: When the temperature of the ESC is over 110 Celsius degrees,the ESC will reduce the output power.3. Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will reduce the outputpower if throttle signal is lost for 1 second, further lossfor 2 seconds willcause the output to be cut-off completely.Program Example6HWWLQJ3Start MRGH ́WR3Super-SRIW ́LHRSWLRQ#3 of the programmable item #51.
