We point out that the mode-setup has to be
successfully done before using the controller!
(By using VBC + NEO not necessary)
(Look at the back page)
Mode 1: V- Stabi - Gov (external Governor)
Plug the RPM-output of the blue 3-pin connector of the
controller into the rpm/ tele in-put of the receiver or FBL (for
wire assignment see additional page).
Make sure that the wire of the rpm signal is parallel to the
negative wire of the receiver wire.
Activate the rpm mode of your FBL system.
Mode 2: Standard Governor Mode
When operating in Gov mode, the ESC can be used
directly. If you want to fly different RPM's and switch them
in flight, you have to start with at least 70%. Then you can
switch over to different RPM's.
Mode 3: Gov.- Store
In Gov-Store you have to switch once to the highest
possible rpm after programming, ideally with 100% throttle,
in order to learn in the motor parameters. Thereafter you
can start with the lowest rpm and switch in flight if you
want.
Please read our detailed manual for the Gov.-store on our
webiste --> www.yge.de
The Gov. RPM regulator (Mode 2 and Mode 3) starts from
50% throttle opening. That is why we do not recommend to
operate the heli under 50%.
We recommend the following throttle openings:
Hover (Low RPM) 55 ... 60%
Standard 70%
3D 80 ... 85%
In case the headspeed is too high with the recommended
throttle openings, you should choose a lower pinion or a
motor with less kv.
.
Mode 4: Electronic gliders with brake
This mode includes all parameters for electronic gliders
with brake and outrunner motors.
Mode 5: Airplanes without brake
This mode contains all parameters for airplanes with
outrunner motors without brake.
Mode 6: Airplanes with Acro-brake (F3A brake)
This mode contains all parameters for airplanes with
outrunner- motors with Acro- brake for F3A competitions.
Start-up:
After connecting the main battery you will hear 3
descending beeps. You need to connect the motor to hear
the beeps; whereby the connected motor acts as a beeper.
A number of beeps will follow according to the number of
cells; a long beep stands for 5 cells and a short beep for
one cell.
Example: long...long...short...short - 5 + 5 + 1 + 1 =12 cells.
If the transmitter is now in the correct stop-position, you will
hear 4 ascending beeps.
- The controller is now ready- .
If the motor turns in the wrong direction, it can be reversed
by exchanging 2 of the 3 motor wires.
Use only clean and tight gold connectors for the motor and
battery. The 4mm / 5,5mm gold-connectors have proven to
be the best choice. Exchange low-friction - or oxidized
plugs and sockets. Because only tight sitting contacts will
ensure a high current flow, protect the speed controller
against dangerous voltage peaks and avoid disturbances.
The entire wire length, from the controller to the battery,
may not exceed 30cm. If longer wires are necessary, more
switch resistant additional capacitors have to be used (Ultra
Low ESR). We recommend our capacitor module YGE
Cap's 7. Longer motor cables can be used. Twist the three
cables in order to minimise interference emission.

Attention:
Inverting battery polarity leads to severe damage and
loss of warranty !
Mode Programming:
1. For safety reasons remove ALL rotor blades!
2. Switch on the transmitter and move the throttle stick to
maximum (100%).
3. Connect the battery to the ESC → wait for the interval
beep: ♪♪♪ ... ♪♪♪ after 20 beeps the setup menu is
entered: confirmation ♪♪ .
4. Move the throttle stick to minimum and choose the
mode:
♪ Vbar - gov Mode 1
♪♪ Gov - mode Mode 2
♪♪♪ Gov - store Mode 3
♪♪♪♪ Glider with folding propeller and brake Mode 4
♪♪♪♪♪ Motor plane without brake Mode 5
♪♪♪♪♪♪ Motor plane with F3A brake Mode 6
5. At the desired mode, move the throttle stick to maximum:
confirmation ♪♪.
If no mode has been selected, the mode programming
starts again with mode 1 = Vbar - gov, etc....
6. Once a mode has been selected, move the throttle stick
to minimum: confirmation ♪♪.
You will hear the beeps acc to the number of cells and now
the ESC is armed and ready for use.
- THE END -
PC-Tool:
In the mode-programming, all parameters are set
automatically to useful values.
We recommend to set as less as possible in the PC-Tool.
Usually it is enough to set the telemetry-settings and the
BEC-voltage, if necessary.
For programming with the PC-Tool, the optional USB-
Adapter is necessary.
Autorotation (AR) and bailout:
It is important that the motor should not be switched off
(0%) completely during autorotation! Otherwise , if
autorotation is cancelled, a soft start will follow and due to
this a possibly unwanted autorotation.
The motor needs some low RPM for the bailout, therefore
set the rpm very low: the helicopter should not be able to lift
off. We recommend 10 ... 20% throttle opening. If set too
low, the motor or ESC might be overloaded by the bailout.
The bailout also might take a few seconds for spooling up,
so always bail out at a safe height!
As soon as the model is on the ground, the motor has to be
switched off completely, otherwise there is no soft-start and
bailout is active!
BEC:
The BEC-Voltage can be adjusted in 0,1V steps in the PC-
Software (optional USB-adapter available). It is possible to
use a buffer-battery, no diodes are necessary. Caution!
Make sure that the battery-voltage matches to the BEC-
voltage. Too big diverations can damage the ESC or the
battery. We recommend to use a 2S-Lipo for a BEC-
voltage of 8,0V. For 5,5V –6,0V BEC-voltage we
recommend to use a 4-cell NiMh or NiCd battery. You can
also use a buffer like the Ultra Guard from Optipower.
Make sure, that the ESC is powered up first, and the
connect the buffer-battery. Otherwise the Telemetry might
not work properly.
Lipo protection / under-voltage protection:
Because of the voltage-driven load adjustment, it is
possible to fly further with low power, because the battery
recovers with smaller load. However, if the voltage
continues to break in, the motor will be switched off.
Active free-wheel:
The unlimited partial load capability refers to the maximum
full power current of the respective ESC types.
Temperature / overload warning:
If the speed controller’s temperature exceeds its limit,
because of overloading or lack of cooling, after landing
and/or motor stop, a warning signal is issued (3 beeps in
the interval). But the motor is not switched off in flight! Only
when the temperature reaches an extremely critical level,
rpm will be reduced to 70% of the current power.
The partial load operation between half and nearly full
power is the most difficult area for an ESC. In addition the
running time becomes longer and longer with the Lipo
technology. If it comes to repeated temperature warnings,
better cooling should be provided or the current should be
reduced.
These warnings are to be regarded as overload warnings
and not as normal operating condition. At high
temperatures the components are very stressed and this
leads to a decreased service life.
You achieve better cooling not only through sufficiently
dimensioned air intake, but even more efficiently through a
larger air outtake, in order to avoid heat accumulation.
You achieve smaller currents by using a smaller propeller
or a battery with one less cell.
Caution:
It is important to make sure that no objects are within the
propeller circle when batteries are connected. The use of
this speed controller is therefore allowed only in situations
where damages and personal injuries are impossible. A
damaged controller (e.g. broken, damaged by polarity
inversion or humidity) must not be reused under any
circumstances. Otherwise malfunctions or subsequent
defects may arise at a later date.
The ESC should only be powered by batteries, the use
from power supplies is not allowed.
Analysis of malfunctions:
The ESC has a yellow LED - status indicator light as well
as a red LED light to analyze error. A flashing sequence
indicates errors during operational use. After about a 1
minute successful run the error will be automatically
deleted.

(95+135LVT)
135LVT (V2):
95 + 135 LVT:
The BEC-Slave is for duplicating the cable-diameter and
should be plugged into a free receiver-channel.
The 6-pole JST-Connector under the heatshrink is for
special applications and has no use for standard-
applications in planes or helicopters.
Telemetry:
YGE (preprogrammed):
The YGE-protocol is for example for use with YGE TexY
(Futaba, Spektrum, FrSky, Core), MSH Brain 2 or Spirit
FBL.
Jeti ExBUS:
If necessary, you have to update the receiver to Jeti
ExBUS. Receiver port E1 or E2 is active.
For programming the ESC via Jetibox-menu of your
Transmitter, ESC-firmware >V.103258 is required.
It is necessary to do a mode setup first, and choose "Jeti
ExBus" as telemetry protocol in the PC-software.
The ESC-parameters can be found as "Mx" in the Jetibox-
menu.
Multiplex MSBv2 Addresses:

3: Current
4: Motor RPM
5: Temperature
6: Used capacity in mAh
7: Actual opening in %
8: Set opening in %
Since Firmware-version V1.03298 the addresses can be
changed or disabled by using the latest PC-Software.
Graupner:
For programming the ESC via telemetry-menu of your
HoTT V4 Transmitter, ESC-firmware >V.103240 is
required.
It is necessary to do a mode setup first, and choose "HoTT
V4" as telemetry protocol in the PC-software.
Mikado:
By using Vbar Control with NEO it is not necessary to do
the mode-programming or PC-Setup. The ESC has an
Auto-Detect and sets all parameters by itself after startup.
Also the telemetry will be automatically set to Mikado, so
you can set all parameters in the transmitter. The YGE-App
has to be installed in your VBC first. This does not apply to
the use with older Vbars like Mini-Vbar or Silverline.
Adapter for using Vbar-Governor and VBC-Telemetry
(available separately):
Warranty:
Our warranty conditions are based on the European
Statuary Warranty. Any other requirements are excluded.
That applies in particular to requirements for damage or
injuries compensation due to malfunction or failure. For
damages to property or personal injuries and their
consequences, which developed from our supply or
craftsmanship, we do not take any liability, since we have
no control on handling and use.
