【User Guide】
Throttle Calibration & ESC Programming
User needs to calibrate the throttle range when he starts to use a new XRotor brushless ESC or another transmitter;
User can change the Timing setting when some abnormality occurs in ESC driving the disc-type motor or need the
motor to reach a higher RPM. (Note: Intermediate Timing is the default setting.)
Step 1: Motor Wiring
Warning! This is an extremely powerful brushless motor system. We strongly recommend removing your propellers for
your own safety and the safety of those around you before performing calibration and programming operations.
Note: The 3pin JR connector beside the throttle signal cable is ONLY used to provide power supply to the cooling fan for
the ESC (The cooling fan is an optional accessory).
Step 2: Radio Calibration
Step 3: ESC Programming
Notes: Generally speaking, intermediate timing is applicable for most motors and it brings higher efficiency but less heat to
the power system. High timing can increase the RPM of the motor, but it also increase the motor temperature. Therefore,
please have a test flight on the ground and ensure everything is ok first, and then you can fly the aircraft into the sky.
【Normal Start-up Process】
【Protections】
【Troubleshooting】
Trouble Warning Tone Possible Cause Solution
The ESC was unable
to start the motor.
“Beep beep beep…”
(The motor beeps rapidly)
The throttle stick is
not at the bottom
position.
Move the throttle stick to the
bottom position or recalibrate the
throttle range.
The ESC was unable
to start the motor.
“Beep, beep, beep......”
（Time interval is 1
second）
No output signal
from the throttle
channel on the
receiver.
Check if the transmitter and
receiver are well bound;
Check if the throttle wire has been
properly plugged into the throttle
channel on the receiver.
The ESC was unable
to start the motor.
“BB, BBB, BBBB”
(these tones are played
circularly)
Incorrect “Normal
/Reverse” direction
of the throttle
channel on the
transmitter.
Refer to the transmitter instructions
and correctly set the "Normal/
Reverse" direction of the throttle
channel.
The ESC is specially designed for multi-rotors, so it hasn't the LVC(Low Voltage Cutoff) protection or
thermal protection.
Start-up Protection: The ESC will shut down the motor after it fails to start the motor normally in 2 seconds by
increasing the throttle value. In this case, you need to move the transmitter throttle stick back to the bottom position
and restart the motor. (Possible causes to this problem: poor connection or disconnection between the ESC and
motor wires; propellers are blocked or others.)
Over-load Protection: The ESC will cut off the power/output when the load suddenly increases to a very high value
and it won’t get back to normal operation until the throttle stick is moved back to the bottom position. Besides, the
ESC will automatically attempt to restart when the motor and the ESC are out of sync.
Throttle Signal Loss Protection: When ESC detects loss of signal for over 0.25 second, it’ll cut off the output
immediately to avoid even greater loss which may be caused by the continuous high-speed rotation of propellers or
rotor blades. And the ESC will resume the corresponding output after usual signals are received normally.
Turn on the
transmitter, and
then move the
throttle stick to
the top position.
“Beep-beep-” Throttle Calibration
“Beep-beep-beep-” Intermediate Timing
“Beep-beep-beep-beep-” High Timing
If move the throttle stick to the bottom
position in 3 seconds after you heard the
corresponding beeps, then the
programming of that item is completed.
The motor
will beep
different
tones
circularly.
Connect the receiver to
the battery and ensure
the transmitter and
receiver are well bound,
and then turn on the
ESC.
Programming is completed; and the
ESC is ready to go.
Turn on the transmitter
and move the throttle
stick to the bottom
position.
The motor will emit a long “beep----”1
second after the system is connected to the
battery indicating the ESC is armed and the
multi-rotor is ready to go.
Turn on the
transmitter, move
the throttle stick to
the top position.
Connect the receiver to the
battery, ensure the transmitter
and receiver are well bound,
and then turn on the ESC.
After the motor emits two short
“beep-beep”, move the throttle
stick to the bottom position in 3
seconds.

【使用向导】
油门行程校准及电调参数设定
*首次使用 XRotor 无刷电调或更换遥控设备后需要进行油门行程校准
*当电调驱动盘式电机出现异常或者期望达到更高转速时，可尝试进行更改进角参数（注：电调默认为中进角）
第一步：油门行程校准及参数设定的接线方法
注：油门信号线旁的 3 针 JR 母头仅用于给电调散热风扇供电！(散热风扇为选购件)
第二步：油门行程校准操作方法
警告！进行油门行程校准时请将螺旋桨卸下以免发生意外！
第三步：进角参数设定操作方法
注：一般情况下，中进角适用于大多数马达。为提高转速，可尝试调整为高进角，进行进角调整后请于地面测试，测
试正常后方可起飞。

本电调转为多旋翼飞行器设计，无低压保护，无过热保护。
启动保护：当加大油门后两秒内未能正常启动马达，电调将关闭动力输出，油门摇杆需再次置于最低点后才可以重
新启动。（出现这种情况的原因可能有：电调和马达连线接触不良或有个别输出线断开、螺旋桨被其他物体阻挡等）。
过负荷保护：当负载突然变得极大时，电调会切断动力，须油门归零后才可正常操作。失步时，电调自动尝试重新
启动。
油门信号丢失保护：当电调检测到油门遥控信号丢失 0.25 秒以上即立即关闭输出，以免因螺旋桨继续高速转动而
造成更大的损失。信号恢复后，电调也随即恢复相应的功率输出。
