Initial setup:
After connecting the battery (red = plus, black = minus) you
hear 3 descending tones. When connecting 4s to 6s Lipo
follows a number of beeps according to the number of cells.
With high cell packs (7 to 12s Lipo) follow 2 high and 2
deeper tones. In case the transmitter stick is in throttle off,
you hear now 3 ascending tones.
You need to connect the motor to hear the beeps, as it is the
motor itself which acts as a speaker.
If the motor turns in the wrong direction, exchange simply 2 of
the 3 motor wires.
Use only clean and tight gold connectors for motor and
battery. The 5.5mm / 6mm PK connectors have proven to be
the best choice. Pay attention for the battery connector to
choose a polarity safe system. 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 20cm. If longer wires are necessary, a Low ESR
switching capacitor of 330µF/50V should be soldered
between plus and minus wires every 20cm. You might also
consider using our capacitor module YGE Cap´s typ 7.
Likewise the motor wires can be extended. Then please twist
the 3 lines, in order to minimize interference emission.
Note: Inverting the Battery polarity leads to heavy
damage and to the loss of warranty!!!
General Settings:
The speed controller has a fixed throttle curve setting, so that
with all usual transmitters the stop and full power points are
linearly connected. With all programmable transmitters, the
throttle range should be set to default (±100%), the center
point set to zero and throttle trim enabled. Nevertheless,
with
some transmitter types the range needs to be adjusted.
For that the throttle endpoints have to be set so that one
notch before lowest stick position the motor is stopped
and that one notch before full power the motor is actually
at full power. Full power is indicated by the LED that is
completely turned off.
On delivery the Timing is adjusted to 18°, brake is
switched on middle, and the under voltage recognition
adjusted to Lipo mode 3.1 V.
If during spin up rpm variations (wowing or erratic sound)
are experienced, the timing must be increased. If no
improvement can be obtained at 30°, then the motor is
overloaded. Here a smaller propeller, a one cell smaller
battery or a stronger motor will help. If after motor stop
you hear 2 beeps repeating, it means that the battery
voltage dropped down below the setting value. Eventually
try a cutoff voltage of 2.9V per cell. If there is still no
improvement, then the battery is discharged or too weak,
the wires are too long or to small or a connector is out of
order.
With an active brake you can hear these warning tones
only in windmill position. This is the small range on the
throttle stick between brake and motor start. You can
reach this position with 2 notches or with a high trim and
a short gas start.
If no automatic timing is wished, it can be adjusted
according to the following guideline.
Innrunner 0 to 12°
Outrunner 18 to 30°
If your motor manufacturer indicates a timing
recommendation, it is of course preferable to use it.
Basic rule: the higher the timing the higher the full power
rpm.
