* Connect the sensor cable between the ESC sensor plug and the Motor sensor plug.
* Connect the receiver plug to the CH2/throttle pin of the receiver.
* Secure the on/off switch in a place where it will not be accidentally knocked to the

* Connect the power wires of the ESC to a fully charged battery set; making sure the
polarity is correct.
* Bind your receiver and transmitter first if your radio requires you to do so.
* Turnonthetransmitterandholdthethrottleatfullbrakeposition.
* Turn on ESC and listen for 2 beeps.
* After you hear the 2 beeps, apply full throttle and listen for another 2 beeps.
* Once you hear the 2 beeps, release the throttle to neutral position.
* A beep will then sound, signifying that the ESC endpoints have been successfully
set.
If you do not hear the beeping sound as described above, try reversing the throttle
reverse setting in the transmitter.
Customizing the Esc
Due to the different requirements of each style and class of racing, it is important to
customize your ESC for each use case. Customization of the ESC is done using the
Program Card (Sold Separately):
To begin, connect the battery wires to a charged battery, then connect supplied 4pin
wire (200mm) to the ESC setting port (4pin port) and Program Card. Turn on the ESC
and the Program Card will activate automatically. Note that the screen will show
"Loading…” during initialization -indicating that the ESC is copying the current setup in
the ESC to the Program Card. Once loading is completed, the screen will show "ETS
Blinky Pro" and "Program". You can now begin programming your ESC.
Press "Enter" to access Program Mode.
Whenever in doubt, double check your ESC setting by initializing the Program
Card again and checking each menu setting.
Navigation around the Program Menu is done using the 4 buttons on the right hand side
of the Program Card. The function of each button varies depending on which screen the
display is showing:
"Select" button------------------------go to next select
PressandHold"Select" button two second -------go to back page
" " button - Scroll up
" " button - Scroll down
"Enter" button - Send Changes from Program Card to the ESC
and overwrite old data in the ESC
The Program Card is not included and is sold separately.
The Program Card will compare the Parameters within the card and ESC before
sending. If changes are detected, you will hear a series of beeps and the Program Card
will display:
TIPS!
NOTE!
TIPS! Do not worry about making mistakes. You will not damage the ESC during setting.
If in doubt, you can always reload the default set up and start over again.

Updating of ESC Firmware:
Preparing the SD card for use:
* Scroll to the "Update"menu and press "Enter". This will show the current ESC
Firmware Version.
* Press "Enter" again to access the SD cards Firmware folder. Select the firmware
Version that you would like to use to update the ESC. Press"Enter" again and the
update will commence (It will take around 1 minute to complete the update).
* Depress and hold the Program card "Enter" button while turning on the ESC. It will
display the current Program card firmware Version.
* Press "Enter" again to access the SD cards Firmware folder. Select the Firmware
Version that you would like to use to update the Program Card. Press "Enter" again and
the update will commence (It will take around 1 minute to
complete the update).
Format a microSD card using FAT32 file structure using a personal computer. If you are
using a Micro SD Card larger than 32GB, you will need to use a 3rd party SW Package
to do this. Create a new folder called "Firmware". Download the latest firmware from
www.orcarc.com/firmware/ and copy the file to the "Firmware" folder on the Micro SD
card. Once completed, install the MicroSD card into the microSD card slot of the
Program Card. Both the Program Card and ESC Firmware Files need to be copied in to
the "Firmware" Folder. A maximum of 10 of each ESC/Program card firmware can be
present in the folder at any one time.

Multi Protection System -- In addition to the Low Voltage and Overheat
Protection that were described above, the ESC is protected in 2 more ways.
* The motor have not temperature protection in this esc but the ESC is
protected against damage when the motor is stuck and does not turn at all.
Power will not be applied in this situation.
* CAUTION! Since the ESC relies on the feed back of the 3 motor wires to
deploy this protection, it ONLY works if the motor does not turn AT ALL. If the
rotor has any rotation, the ESC will consider the motor to be operational and
the power to the motor will not be cut off.
* In case the radio signal to the ESC is interrupted for over 1 second during a
run, the ESC will cut off until the signal resumes.
Firmware Limit 13.5T - 1.1 blinking red LED two times.
Firmware Limit 17.5T - 1.1 blinking red LED three times.
* Connect the ESC to the battery pack only when you are ready to run. This
will avoid draining the battery pack. Always disconnect the battery after your
run.
* A small spark may occur when the battery is initially connected to the ESC.
This is normal and is due to the charging of the capacitors.

Misc. Tips:

Operating Tips
* Install/Solder the relevant battery connector (Battery Specific) to the battery wires.
Red to+veandBlackto-ve.(
)
* Connect supplied BEC wire(150mm) to 3pin port match the (- + s) between the
receiver connector and ESC.
* Connect the 3 motor wires to the motor; you can either solder the wires directly to the
motor or use your favorite connectors. Match the label of the ESC Output (A, B, C) to
the Tablabels on the motor when soldering. Avoid soldering each joint for longer than
5 seconds. Prior to operation make sure you have not created a short by either
creating a wire bridge or solder bridge on the solder tabs on the motor. (
Improper wiring may damage the ESC and void the warranty.)
WARNING!
WARNING! Reversing the battery polarity will destroy
your ESC and void the warranty.
