In case you get inadvertently in the programming mode
during a normal start-up (throttle stick at full power), simply
disconnect the battery, lower the stick to stop, and connect
the battery again. Thus you won’t modify the adjustments.
Lipo protection / under-voltage protection:
Because of the tension driven load adjustment it is
possible to fly further with low power, since the battery
recovers with smaller load. However, if the tension
continues to break in, the motor is switched off.
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
unless the temperature becomes extremely critical, then
the motor switched off.
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 should come to repeated temperature
warnings, better cooling should be provided or current
should be reduced. These warnings are to be regarded as
overload warnings and not as normal operating
condition. Because at high temperature the components
are strongly stressed, this leads to a decreased life time.
You achieve a better cooling not only through sufficiently
dimensioned air intake, but even more efficiently through a
larger air outtake, in order to avoid a heat accumulation.
You achieve smaller currents by using a smaller propeller
or a one cell smaller battery.
BEC:
Please look at the label holding the 3 yellow cables to the
right-hand side. There you will find 3 possible BEC
currents, which can be set-up with the Jumper and 4-pole
male multi-point connector.
On delivery, the Jumper is on level 5,7V. (Now the two
lower male connectors are linked). If you connect the two
male connectors in the middle, the BEC is on 7,4V.
If you connect the top two male connectors, the BEC will
be on 8V.
In case you do not connect any of the male connectors or
you loose the Jumper for whatever reason, 5,7V will be
set automatically due to safety reasons. Even 8V servos
will work smoothly.
If you use a receiver battery, the jumper must needs to be
set on the right level. For reasons of safety fix the jumper
with glue or tape before using the controller.
You can use different batteries for backup!
Step 5,7V 4-cell NiMH
Step 7,4V 2-cell Li-Io / Li-Po
Step 8,0V 2-cell Li-Po
The receiver battery can be connected through a switch
cable into a free plug of the receiver or through a y-cable.
Make sure no discharged backup battery is used, because
this would load the BEC additionally by charging the battery.
A fully loaded battery will not be charged.
In case you want to use a Backup-Guard, follow the manual
of the manufacturer.
You can also use the ESC without the BEC. Here you have
to separate the thin plus- wire of the Master cable or use an
YGE opto-coupler.
Attention:
Basically 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 material and personal damage can be
excluded. A damaged governor (e.g. broken, damaged by
polarity inversion or humidity) should not be reused under
any circumstances. Otherwise, malfunctions or failures might
occur subsequently.
The ESC should only be powered by batteries, the use of
power supplies is not allowed.
Trouble shooting:
2 Beeps/flashes: Under-voltage identification
3 Beeps/flashes: Power-part temperature rise warning
5 Beeps/flashes: Receiver signals failed
6 Beeps/flashes: start up failed
7 Beeps/flashes: BEC temperature rise warning
The ESC signals any error that happened during flight
acoustically (motor) and optically with a blinking LED code.
Errors 2 and 3 are signaled after motor stop, but aren’t
stored as long as the ESC didn’t cut off completely (low
voltage / temperature warning). In case the error led to a
complete cut off, then it is not cleared by a tension RESET.
The deletion can take place only on purpose by connecting
the battery with the stick at full power and/or with 100%
throttle pre-selection (throttle curve), and disconnecting it
again after the interval beep. Please you leave the stick at
full power, while disconnecting, otherwise you activate the
RC-Setup.
Likewise the errors can be cleared by activating the
ProgCard.
With an activated brake, the error is only signaled after a
tension reset or in wind milling position.
Warranty:
We give 6 months warranty on this speedcontroller. 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.
