1 1 Features
-6 steps adjustable timing or automatic timing adjustment
-Lipo(Auto) / NiMh adjustable.
-Adjustable brake. Hardness and speed are proportional to the Soft-start.
-Full utilization of the range of throttle stick by programming in the RC-Setup
-PWM range from 8 KHz to16KHz adjustable by 1KHz!
-With the PWM switching rate applies as little as possible and as much as necessary. Higher
frequency for low inductive motors,
-Lower frequency for less switching losses.
-Active free-wheel, which can be disabled with the Prog Card II.
-Active free-wheel reduces clearly the losses in the partial load range, but can lead to
problems in rare cases. In relation with speed regulation it can come to rougher transitions
from part load to full load, avoiding switching into speed controller mode in full power.
2 2 RC-Setup
General beep sequences outside of the RC-Setup: Constant monotonous beep signals the
programming mode.
When the throttle stick in the neutral position, a group of descending beep sequences means
that it is sure for receiving signals. Afterwards (after active signaling) other beeps indicate the
recognition of the adjusted battery type. And then, the other group of ascending beeps
means that the ESC is armed! The ESC is ready for working. Caution!
The correct setting is particularly important for Lipos battery pack, therefore an acoustic
control takes place after every power on of the ESC.
Lipo-setting (Lipo auto-mode 2-6 (14) cells):
2 identical beeps => 2S Lipos recognized ♪♪
3 identical beeps => 3S Lipos recognized ♪♪♪
And so on...
To have a successful recognition even with more than 3 cells, the battery pack should always
be fully charged!
Otherwise, with high cell numbers, it can happen that a cell is missed and thus the under
voltage protection would trigger too late. The cells of battery pack can be programmed by
Prog Card II.
With more than 6 cells the beep sequence becomes two high pitch beeps and then two low
pitch beeps as following, the count of so many beeps seem unrealistic. Such high numbers
of cells should not be operated in the auto mode anyway. We recommend then to set the
number of cells permanently with the Prog Card II.
The under voltage protection is triggered at 3.1V per cell. However, this conservative value
can prolong the life of Lipo battery pack! It is important to make sure the number of cell to
avoid wrong signal of under voltage protection.
A fixed under voltage limit can only be programmed with the Prog Card II. You can also set
the fixed limits for LiFePo battery pack with the Prog Card II.
Ni-xx batteries--setting (NiCd/NiMh):
2 Beeps high/low => NiMh-Mode: under voltage limit approximately equals that 0.65 multiply
the voltage of open circuit per cell. Thus with 1.3V open circuit voltage before flight, the limit
will be 0.91V/cell. Generally only sufficiently charged batteries should be connected before a
flight for a reliable under voltage detection.
