SUMMIT ESC Manual
1. Initialization process
Turn on the correct power (tone: 4-2-4) -> Battery cells number prompt -> throttle signal is correct
(tone: 4-2-4) -> Finish, ready to run.
* If the throttle signal alarm occurs, please follow the status table.
2. Battery cells number prompt
* Summit ESC is designed for lithium-ion polymer batteries. The number of cell is automatic
recognized, and the sound is prompted.
* Prompt the battery number of cells = long tone times x 3 + short tone times (1 or 2)
* For example: one long tone and one brief tone are 4S batteries, two long tone are 6S batteries, two
long tone and two brief tone are 8S batteries, and four long tone are 12S batteries
* If the battery number of cells is difference from actual battery number of cells, please check the
battery and to ensure it is fully charged.
3. Throttle calibration
*Whenever the model data in the remote control is used with the Summit ESC for the first time, it is
strongly recommended to do "throttle calibration".
* If the calibration is not calibrated, the lowest throttle signal may be high and the ESC alarm will not
work. It is also possible that the throttle signal is low and the ESC brake function is activated..
* The transmitter is turned on, the throttle stick is placed at the highest position, and the Summit
power is turned on (tone: 4-2-4) -> Battery cell number prompt (tone 4) -> Wait for about 3 seconds, long
tone (tone 2) - > Immediately lower the throttle, long tone (tone 4) -> complete throttle calibration ->
check throttle signal (tone: 4-2-4) -> Summit ready to run
* If the remote throttle signal is reversed at the first time, the throttle calibration procedure will be
entered. Please pay special attention to this, power off, adjust the throttle signal positive and negative.
4. Change the direction of motor rotation
The Summit ESC can change the direction of motor rotation by setting, without having to go through
the physical way of changing the two-phase motor line.
The transmitter is turned on, the throttle stick is placed at the highest position, and the Summit
power is turned on (tone: 4-2-4) -> Battery cells number prompt (tone 4) -> Wait for 3S or so, single long
tone (tone 2), This is the entrance to the "throttle calibration". Do not do any operation -> Wait for 3S or so,
double long tone, enter the motor rotation direction detection program -> Move the motor to the correct
direction by hand -> If you hear a long prompt Tone, indicating that the new direction of rotation has been
recorded -> move the throttle to the lowest position (tone: 4-2-4) -> Summit is ready to run.
* Do the throttle calibration first, then do the operation to change the direction of rotation. If the
motor rotates in the right direction, do not operate.
* In this operation, the motor must be in a state where no propeller is installed.
* This operation only records the direction of the motor once. If it needs to be re-recorded, it must be

2
powered off and repeat the appeal step.
* This operation does not change the throttle calibration value.
5. Timing and applicable motor
Summit ESC uses intelligent algorithms and automatic timing, so users no longer need to
experiment with different timing and motor compatibility. Summit is applicable to Dualsky ECO, EA, DA,
GA, MR, HD, etc series motors. It is also applicable to the same type of high quality senseless brushless
outer rotor motor on the market. At the same time, there is also good compatibility with the senseless
brushless inner rotor brushless motor.
6. Set idle speed and energy recovery
After the Summit throttle is calibrated, the default minimum throttle is the Freewheel. At this time, if
the throttle trim is pushed up a few and the motor is rotating, the gas engine idle speed effect can be
simulated. The idle speed has the following advantages:
* Motor acceleration response is fast * Stay in energy recovery mode * Better deceleration than
freewheel.
7. Set the brake
If the lowest point of the throttle is lowered from the unpowered position (by trim or throttle curve),
the throttle enters the brake zone. The braking force of the Summit series can be finely adjusted in the
range of 0-100%. The lower the throttle position, the greater the braking force, which is very suitable for
aerobatics such as F3A.
8. Set the throttle to lock switch
On the ground, if the throttle is accidentally touched, the propeller will rotate at high speed, which is
very dangerous. Summit ESC can't be avoided either. It is recommended to set the throttle lock by the
Throttle cut function, one more protection. At the same time, this function works well with the idle
function.
9. Switch and sleep
With the BEC's Summit ESC,
the BEC output can be controlled by
the FSS-4 switch. When the BEC is
turned off, the ESC also goes to sleep. The switch is of the Fail safe type, no switch or switch failure
occurs, and the ESC remains in operation.
The Summit HV series without BEC enters the sleep state when the throttle signal disappears for
more than 3S. After the signal is recovered, it must be lowered to the minimum throttle before the ESC
can be restarted. With this function, the model can be installed and connected to the main battery in
advance, and the remote control system is not turned on and placed in the waiting area.
* Sleepy ESC has a few milliamps of power for flight applications and is not recommended for more
than 24 hours.
10. Summit ESC has the following protection features:

3
* Arc protection * Power-on overvoltage and under voltage protection * Unsafe throttle signal
protection * Low voltage protection * Out of control protection * Stall protection * Out of step protection *
Over current protection * Over temperature protection * Short circuit protection
