3. Connecting the ESCs
Tools Required
Tools: Electric soldering iron & soldering tin Use: Soldering each ESC’s power cables to the power hub
1
)
Check the color tags on the ESC cables to identify the default color of the ESC LED indicator (red
or green). Mount the ESCs onto the appropriate positions of your aircraft according to the LED
color. Note: The LED color can be adjusted in DJI ESC Assistant.

)
Please solder each ESC to the power pads on the power hub as shown in the gure below.
Make sure that the solder is rmly attached on the power pads and that there is no possibility for
a short circuit. The power cable is a coaxial power cable. Do not damage the protector on the
red cable to avoid short circuit.

)
Connect the signal cable to your controller. The orange wire of the signal cable is for the control
signal; the brown wire of the signal cable is for the GND; and the red wire is reserved.

)
Connect the motor to the ESC. Test the motor and make sure the rotation direction of each motor
is correct. If not, switch the position of any two cables that are connecting the motor to the ESC
to change the rotation direction.
Make sure there is no short circuit or open circuit.
It is recommended that you solder a power connector onto the power hub.
4. Assembling the Propellers
Quick-Release Propellers
1) Unpack the propellers and motors.
The propellers with a CW mark should be mounted to clockwise motors, which have a black propeller
The outer power pads are for the GND cables, and the inner power pads are for the power cables.
The red core of the coaxial power cable is positive, and the shielding layer of the coaxial power
cable is negative. Make sure to solder them correctly. Try to solder the cables rmly to the power
hub at the proper length (the wire should be just long enough to reach the soldering point, without
any extra wire bunched up before the soldering point) and outward facing.

improved acceleration and deceleration performance. Before using, reduce the gain values
according to your ight control system and frame to achieve the same sensitivity as older ESCs (which
use a traditional square wave drive). The table below shows typical gain values when using the E800
with a DJI A2 ight control system and a frame which has a diagonal wheelbase of 580 mm:
