1.0 Connecting your ESC
* Please refer to the diagram on Page 3 to properly connect your ESC.
1.3 Connect to your receiver / External Governor
Connect the receiver lead (Master: the three colored small wires:
brown, red, yellow) with a red plastic connector on the end to the
throttle channel on your receiver and connect the black plastic
connector (Slave) to an external governor, unplug the yellow
(signal) wire if you do not use the RPM signal for telemetry or
external govenor (e.g. VBar govenor). If you have external battery
that you may need to disable the bec in programing. If you do not
use the RPM signal for telemetry or external govenor (e.g. VBar
govenor) just leave it unplugged.
1.1 Add your battery connector
You must attach a quality battery connector of your choice to
the red (positive) and black (negative) power wires. Solder the
battery connector to the wires. ENSURE THAT THE POLARITY IS
CORRECT (red wire (positive) to battery red wire (positive), black
wire (negative) to battery black wire (negative)). Follow the
instructions provided with the battery connector.
1.2 Connect Motor to ESC
We recommend using bullet connectors to connect your ESC to
your motor as most of the Scorpion motors come with
pre-installed bullet connectors that include a female set for your
ESC. Solder the corresponding connectors for your motor to the
wires coming from the ESC, or solder the motor wires directly to
the motor leads. You may nd it convenient to temporarily
connect the motor leads to the ESC and test for proper rotation
before you permanently solder them. Once connected DO NOT
allow any exposed wire or connectors to contact each other!
Ensure that a proper insulation material (such as heat shrink) is
around each of the three wires. Failure to do so will cause the
ESC to malfunction and void your warranty.
1.4 Mounting the ESC
Mount the ESC with the Heatsink side of the controller facing
outward. We recommend using a“Scorpion Fastening Strap” to
attach the ESC to the airframe for easy removal. Double sided
tape is acceptable for mounting as well. If zip ties are used, do
not place them over any of the components on the ESC. Instead,
zip tie around the metal heat sink, leaving some slack to allow
some movement.
1.5 Tribunus ESC BEC
True DC-DC 5.1V-8.3V BEC for servo and receiver with10A
continuous and 20A peak.
Multiple protection features include: over current, over
voltage, temperature protection

For safety reasons we recommend using a Scorpion backup
guard or a backup battery. The Backup guard can be used on
any BEC voltage from 5.1 to 8.3V. If the BEC voltage is set to 7.3V
or 8.3V use a 2S LiPo. Connect the BEC backup parallel to the
receiver or Flybarless system. Make sure that the Backup guard
is charged or the 2S LiPo battery voltage matches to the set BEC
Voltage before every ight. Also make sure all used RC-
components are designed to run at the set BEC voltage.
Remove the signal wire of the slave cable when it use for extra
bec only.
The induction voltage cause by servos will activate the
protection of the BEC, we highly recommend the BEC voltage
set to 7.3V or below to avoid this.
http://www.scorpionsystem.com/blog/?p=7173

Ensure that the ESC is connected to the proper channel on
your receiver.
2.2
Ensure that the initial setup has been performed before
using your ESC.
2.1
Turn your transmitter ON and set the throttle stick to zero
throttle.
2.3
The ESC will beep the motor with Morse code when
power up[Power On Sound(POS) ].
Power On Sound - Voltage in Morse code.
To arm the ESC ready for use, you must disconnect the battery,
then move the throttle stick to zero position and reconnect to
power-up.
Always power your radio transmitter before powering up the
receiver and/or the ESC. Some receivers with fail-safe features or
Spektrum receiver units that are not bound on receiver power up
are entirely capable of causing the arming sequence to occur and
command the ESC to driver the motor. Always keep the aircraft
restrained and clear of body parts when the ESC is powered.
If your ESC cannot sense any radio signal it will beep the motor and
ash green on the LED with Morse code.

Connect the main power battery to the ESC.2.4
3.0 Scorpion Tribunus II ESC
Programming Feature
All Scorpion Tribunus II Series ESC programming features are
available though the use of the PC programming.
Scorpion ESC’s come with default factory settings which are
recommended for most applications. Programming options can
be changed at the discretion of the user.
2.0 Using your Scorpion Tribunus II ESC
Turn on transmitter and receiver, then set throttle to
maximum position be sure that your throttle curve is set
at 0% minimum throttle and 100% at maximum.
Connect the battery to the ESC. After few seconds you will
hear one beep. Now move your throttle to the lowest
position, then you will hear two beeps, and POS Morse
code come from the motor, this mean your calibration is
done. You only need to do this once as throttle range will
be stored in the memory of the speed controller. You can
reset the throttle range by performing steps 5.1 to 5.2
again.
5.1
4.0 Initial Setup
Safe Power up To arm the controller, the throttle must be
held in the “Zero” position (all the way down).
If throttle is not at zero at startup, the ESC will
not provide any power to the motor
regardless of where the throttle stick is
positioned when rst powered up.
Loss of Signal
(fail safe)
The Scorpion ESC will stop the motor as a
safety feature when the throttle signal is lost
or corrupt for 0.5 seconds.
LED* The LED is used for indicate the status of your
Scorpion Tribunus II ESC. It show with Morse
code that can let you know the status of the
ESC
Current Limiting Amp output limit, the output is rated at 10%
over the rated Amp. At approximately 10%
over the rated Amps it will automatically limit
the output to the motor, as long as the motor
is not rated too much over the ESC spec limits,
this safety mechanism will prevent a over
load to the ESC but if you install a motor for
example rated at 100 Amps on a ESC that are
rated for only 60 Amps, this mechanism will
not work properly due to the instant surge of
power demand from the motor, it may
shutdown too early or simply fry the ESC, the
only solution to this is to never use a Motor
that has a rating bigger then the ESC, don’t
even think you can use it if you run the motor
at a slower RPM or load, it will not work and
void your warranty!!
Thermal Protection At set value, the ESC will slowdown the
power output to the motor to the set value
of protection (the on board LED will ash
Morse code T (Temperature Error), after the
ESC has cool down to under set value you
can then throttle up again.
Brake Stops rotation of the motor when the throttle
signal is moved to the lowest position.
Throttle Airplane and Heli modes come
pre-programmed and can be selected by the
user.
Electronic Timing Electronic Timing and drive frequency are
Automatically and dynamically set that may
improve the eciency of the drive system!
You MUST perform throttle range calibration before the rst use
of the ESC, except if you are using external governor mode,
remove propeller/pinion from motor or back o pinion from
main gear while performing initial throttle range calibration.
Low Voltage Cuto You can choose for your ESC to stop or reduce
power when the input battery voltage drops
to a pre-set/programmed cuto voltage.

HELICOPTER This is the page where you set up your Helicopter internal Governor settings.
*Only adjusts Heli Governor settings when the Internal Governor is activated in the previous menu- Device Mode*
HELICOPTER MENU
SOFT START: Adjusts how quickly the main rotor will ramp up (in Seconds). A lower
number will cause the main rotors to spool up faster. A larger number will cause the
main rotors to spool up slower. This only eect from 0% to 30% of the rpm range.
ACCELERATION: Adjusts the acceleration between 1 Headspeed to another. A lower
number will cause the main rotors to spool up faster from one desired headspeed to
another. A larger number will cause the headspeed to change slower. This only eect
from 30% to 100% rpm range.
BAILOUT ACCELERATION: Adjusts how quickly the main rotor will ramp up (in
Seconds) from Autorotation Bailout Mode. Autorotation Bailout mode allows the user
to quickly spool up his blades when desired (for example, if an autorotation does not
go as planned and the user immediately wants his rotor to spool up quickly). A lower
number will cause the main rotors to spool up faster. A larger number will cause the
main rotors to spool up slower.
GOVERNOR: Allows the user to adjust the Governor Gain Settings. It is recommended
to begin with Default rst, then change Gain settings to achieve the desired perfor-
mance.“Soft” gains are pre-set lower than Default and “Hard” gains are pre-set higher
than Default.
GAINS: Adjusts the P, I, and D Gain of the Governor.
SETTING UP AUTOROTATION BAILOUT
***IMPORTANT! Before setting up Autorotation Bailout please remove your pinion, or remove
both your main rotor and tail rotor blades!!!***
Before assign the bailed out switch, you have to calibrate the throttle range to a precise
throttle range.
In your transmitter, assign a switch to Bailed Out. Once assigned to a switch, adjust the Bailed
Out value so that the Throttle % on the radio correlates to 20% (20% - 29% is OK) on the
Scorpion Heli ESC value in the software. Congratulations, you have now activated Autorota-
tion Bailout mode on your Tribunus ESC.
To conrm that you have indeed setup Autorotation Bailout Mode correctly, spool up your
machine to Idle Up 1 or Idle Up 2, then switch to bailed out. Wait 1 or 2 seconds, then click
back to Idle Up. The throttle should quickly come back up to your Idle Up 1/2 Headspeed.
NOTE: If you have ipped your Bailed Out switch and activated Autorotation Bailout
and wish to have your Headspeed come up back slowly (as it should when rst spooling
up), you must rst go to 0% throttle rst, then spool up normally.

AIRPLANE This is the page where you set up your Airplane Settings.
*Only adjusts Airplane settings when the Airplane Mode is activated in the previous menu- Device Mode*
AIRPLANE MENU
DRAG BRAKE Adjusts the amount of brake enabled. If 0% is selected, the propeller will
free-wheel in forward ight with the throttle at the 0% position. If 100% is selected,
the propeller will not move in forward ight with the throttle at the 0% position.
THROTTLE ACCELERATION: Adjusts the overall time that it takes for the motor to spool
up from 0% to 100%. For example, a larger aircraft such as a 50CC plane will require a
value of about 500ms. A smaller aircraft with a 1 to 1.5 meter wingspan will require a
smaller value of about 350ms or similar.
PWM MODE: Adjusts the way in which the ESC drives the motor.
Regular: Operates as a standard ESC would without regenerative braking
Complimentary: Actively slows down the motor when throttle is reduced
(best for Multirotors or aircraft that require regenerative braking)

PROTECTION Firmware List
This is the page where you set up your
ESC Protection Settings. Update the rmware
PROTECTION MENU
CUTOFF DELAY: Adjusts the amount of time that it takes for protection to engage if a lost signal is
detected. Recommended value is 5,000ms.
MINIMUM VOLTAGE: Adjusts the minimum Voltage of the ESC. If the ESC detects the minimum
voltage that is chosen, the ESC will reduce the overall RPM to the Cuto Power % set below.
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE: Adjusts the maximum temperature of the ESC during ight. If the ESC
detects a temperature that it higher than the Maximum Temperature, the ESC will reduce the
overall RPM to the Cuto Power % set below.
MAXIMUM CURRENT: Adjusts the maximum Amperage of the ESC during ight. If the ESC
detects a amperage that it higher than the Maximum Amperage, the ESC will reduce the overall
RPM to the Cuto Power % set below.
CUTOFF POWER : Adjusts the overall amount of RPM drop for when any of the following
conditions are met: MIN VOLTAGE, MAX TEMPERATURE, MAX CURRENT, BATTERY MAX
CAPACITY. (See below for clarity)
BATTERY MAX CAPACITY: Allows the user to enter a desired amount of battery capacity- which
when met will trigger the BATTERY MAX CAPACITY protection, and then drop the RPM down by
the CUTOFF POWER %. It is very useful to set this instead of a timer to know when your battery
has been drained to a pre-set level.
(See below for clarity)
For example, let’s say a user enters 3.7Ah into BATTERY MAX POWER. When the ESC has detected
that 3.7Ah (or 3,700 milliamp hours) of the battery has been consumed, the ESC will cut the main
power down to the percentage that is entered in CUTOFF POWER. This means, if a pilot is ying
with a headspeed of 2,000 RPM and enters 85% into CUTOFF POWER with 3.7Ah entered in
BATTERY MAX CAPACITY, after 3.7Ah has been consumed, the headspeed will immediately drop
down to 1700 RPM and stay at that headspeed until the pilot lands and shuts down the ESC.
** Do not set the parameter “0” into CUTOFF POWER, BATTERY MAX CAPACITY, MIN VOLTAGE,
MAX TEMPERATURE or MAX AMPERAGE, this will not turn o the protection but conict the
internal setting **
FW List: Firmware update
Select the latest rmware to update the rmware. if it happen rmware corrupted, please unplug
all cables and reconnect, then repower the ESC, now update the rmware again.
After few times it will process the update procedure as normal.
