Here to introduce how to hook up the swave esc, perform calibration and use the SWAVE apps
-Plug-in and solder connections may loose due to vibrations or collisions. Please, ensure secure connections,
otherwise you may experience a short-circuit which will damage the device.
HOOKUP INSTRUCTION
Connect “sensor cable” – a cable between ESC and Ensotech certified sensored motors.
Connect “receiver cable” – a cable between ESC and receiver.We have included two different types of cable plug
(JR & JST) for different type of receivers.
The motor should be well and properly soldered to the ESC for getting full performance from the system and reduce
heating.

THROTTLE CALIBRATION
** Swave ESC was design to calibrate with the most popular and current radio system available on the market.
Obsolete radio system may not able to launch the calibration process because of dilatory delay of signal
transmission in between the radio, receiver and esc
STEP 1
Turn on your transmitter and connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.
STEP 2
Pull the trigger for full BRAKE/REVERSE and HOLD it in this position.
STEP 3
Turn on the ESC and wait for one short beep – switch-on beep (motor must be connected to the ESC, or there will be
no sounds). After that wait for another beep – calibration beep. (it will be in a second). Do not release the trigger
before calibration beep.
** Beep sound came from the motor movement, there will be no sound without motor.

Calibration finish!
Some advanced transmitters have radio channel encoding features. In most cases they use SSL/SSR open channel
encrypting protocol (for details read transmitter’s manual) that requires some time to establish connection between
itself and receiver. Swave ESC will be wait for calibration during 2 seconds. If your radio system requires a
comparable time for establishing connection in encrypted mode you should switch this mode off! In other case some
difficulties with calibration may occurs.
For some earlier KO radio system, it may need to reverse the radio throttle direction to active the calibration.
Without properly done calibration the ESC can be damaged.
Ensotech is not responsible and warranty is not covered if because of the compatibility of radio and transmitter also
using non-original factory equipment.

THE ESC PARAMETERS ADJUSTMENT AND SWAVE programming App
Cables for changing the ESC settings and updating software
UARTLINK for Swave E (Optional)
UARTLINK-II for Swave E2 and Swave W (Optional)
ENSO BLUETH (Optional) – wireless device with BLE*
BLE – Bluetooth Low Energy is supported only with phones
that have an android upper 4.3 version and support Bluetooth
Not only has the same function as UARTLINK-II cable but it is wireless
to change the esc setting without taking the car away from the track. It
also provide telemetry reading of motor rpm, battery voltage, esc
temperature, throttle movement during the car running on track.
If you are uncertain about your phone, please check with your phone
manufacturer, Ensotech cannot guarantee to support every kind of
phones.
** ENSO BLUETH Doesn’t support Swave-E
** We are still trying to work out this Bluetooth for IOS system, please be patient **
Always switch off the ESC before connect and disconnect programming devices.
Important notice to IOS and Android Users
1) UARTLINK-II either ENSO BLUETH both support to change the ESC parameters from Android. We are still
trying to develop for IOS.
2) For Android user, you can download Swave ESC application from Google Play™ free of charge or download the
installation apk file from Swave webstore software page to install manually. If you decide to install the apk file
manually, please make sure to un-install / remove the previous version before process to install the new version.
3) For IOS user, you can only download Swave ESC application from App Store (not available yet, we are still
working on it)

Cable (UARTLINK) connection
Connect Android Device to the ESC by the programming cable. If the green LED on the UARTLINK is off, please,
check the Android device USB connection. One should note that some new Android devices utilize Type-C micro
USB. Always use high quality Type-C connectors with OTG data transfer features. Beware that some cheap adaptors
in the market have bad or even do not feature with OTG connection.
Connect the battery and switch on the ESC, your A
ndroid device will
automatically detect the USB device and ask you to choose an app
for it.
Otherwise, you can launch the app manually and connect it by context menu at
the right corner of the APP.
If the device is connected successfully, the color of the application icon will
change to BLUE, if it remains GREY, please, try to unplug and plug again the
USB into your Android device and wait 2 second for your android device
response. If the icon still remains grey, please, recheck all your connections.
Connection require the phones / tabs support the latest OTG. Ensotech try to
have the most
compatibility but we are not guarantee and not responsible to
support every devices.
If your device uses TYPE-C USB, please make sure to use an adaptor has OTG
feature. If you are uncertain
please do not open the package. Consults with
your sellers and other users their advice for supported model.

Wireless (ENSO BLUETH) connection
ENSO BLUETH is a wireless adapter for settings management, firmware updating, and real-time observing of the
ESC parameters. It uses Low Energy Bluetooth standard (4.0 version) for communication with Swave APP. Every
device has a personal name and pin-code. Radio channel between the device and the application is protected by
strong encryption, to exclude connection to your device without six-digit pin code. This code can be stored in your app
after first linking and can be applied automatically when you would like to connect to your ENSO BLUETH device.
** The response time of telemetry real-time observing depends on your phone processing power, cache memory
space, and the wireless transmission speed and signal performance. Ensotech do not guarantee and not responsible
to support every devices.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
-Not for children under 14 years old. This is not a toy.
-Swave needs NO external capacitors or any other rework.
-Use Ensotech certified sensored motor with Ensotech Brushless ESC for best performance and protection.
-Using a not approved sensored motor may result in excessive current draw due to advance motor timing and may
cause severe ESC damage that will not be covered by product's warranty!
- Swave ESC is a high end racing product that offers many customized parameters. If you are not certain about any of
the settings, contact your dealer for assistant or contact us.
-Do not overload motor due to incorrect/high gear ratios. Make sure the gear mesh is set properly. If the mesh is too
loose it can cause motor and ESC overheat which will damage the ESC and motor.

10
- Do not allow motor, ESC and battery in contact with water or other fluids, this could cause internal shortcut and
damage.
- Disconnect and remove the battery when ESC is not used.
-To prevent the runaway of your R/C car model, do not connect battery to the ESC or switch on the ESC without
switching-on the transmitter.
