(By using VBC + NEO not necessary)
(Look at the back page)
Mode 1: V- Stabi - Gov (external Governor)
Plug the RPM-output 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 a high rpm over
70% with blades after programming, in order to learn in the
motor parameters. The learning in happens directly after
startup and you can fly. No restart necessary. Thereafter
you can also start with the lowest rpm and switch in flight if
you want.
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) 60 ... 70%
Standard 70 ... 80%
3D 80 ... 90%
In case the headspeed is too high with the recommended
throttle openings, you should choose a lower pinion or a
motor with less KV. Caution! For special applications like
for example scale-helicopters with high weight we
recommend to set the throttle opening preferably high, to
prevent unneeded heat losses.
Mode 4: Electronic gliders with brake
This mode includes all parameters for electronic gliders with
brake.
Mode 5: Airplanes without brake
This mode contains all parameters for airplanes without brake.
Mode 6: Airplanes with Acro-brake (F3A brake)
This mode contains all parameters for airplanes 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 5,5mm or 6mm 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 9.
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,
if necessary.
For programming with the PC-Tool, the optional USB-
Adapter is necessary.
Please use the 3-pin telemetry-cable with the blue JR-plug
for connecting the ESC to the USB-adapter.
more informations in the manual of the USB-adapter.
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:
2 Beeps/flashes: Under-voltage identification
3 Beeps/flashes: Temperature rise warning
4 Beeps/flashes: Overcurrent
5 Beeps/flashes: Receiver signals failed
6 Beeps/flashes: start up failed
7x flashes: BEC-overload
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.

Connections:
Usually in helicopters, the receiver- and BEC-cables will be
wired from the front to the rear alongside the motor. Make
sure that the receiver-, tele- and BEC-cables have to be
wired together on one side!
We recommend to use the attached Ferrit-ring for both
BEC-cables to prevent interferences!
Connecting the ESC to the USB-Adapter:
Telemetry:
If you use a backup-battery, please make sure, that you
power up the ESC first, before connecting the backup-
battery to the receiver. Otherwise the telemetry might not
work. The ESC sends all ESC-related data via telemetry,
such as voltage, current, capacity, BEC-voltage, RPM,
throttle percentage, PWM, BEC-temperature, warnings and
error messages. It depends on the used receiver and
transmitter, which of these data will be shown in the
transmitter.
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:
Please configure your receiver for using ExBUS (Not EX!)
on the E1 or E2 channel and connect the telemetry cable
(blue connector) with this channel. The telemetry in the
ESC must be set to Jeti ExBUS in the PC-Software as well.
After that, several ESC parameters can be configured in
the JetiBox menu of the transmitter. You find these settings
under “Mx” here.
Multiplex MSBv2 Addresses:
After selecting MSBV2 as telemetry protocol in the PC-
software, the addresses of the telemetry data can be
changed or disabled here.
Graupner:
After selecting HoTT V4 as telemetry protocol in the PC-
software, several ESC parameters can be configured in the
telemetry menu of the transmitter. The max PWM will be
shown as max. BEC-Temp in the HoTT telemetry, because
of the small data volume in the HoTT ESC-sensor. The
max PWM is important for many helicopters to adjust the
range of the governor.
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.
