Controller (ESC)
Thanks for purchasing our Electronic Speed Controller (ESC). High power system
for RC model can be very dangerous, so we strongly suggest you read this manual
carefully. In that we have no control over the correct use, installation, application,
or maintenance of our products, no liability shall be assumed nor accepted for
any damages, losses or costs resulting from the use of the product. Any claims
arising from the operating, failure or malfunctioning etc. will be denied. We
assume no liability for personal injury, property damage or consequential
damages resulting from our product or our workmanship. As far as is legally
permitted, the obligation to compensation is limited to the invoice amount of the
affected product.
Features :
• High performance microprocessor brings out the best compatibility with all kinds of
motors and the higher driving efficiency,start smoothly,suitable for most brushless
motor on market.
• Imported low impedance capacitors,providing good anti-jamming capability,greatly
reduce the possibility the loss of control.
• Supported motor speed (Maximum): 190000rpm(2 poles), 63000rpm (6 poles),
34000rpm(14poles)
• Throttle range can be configured to be compatible with all transmitters currently
available on market
Smooth,linear,quick and precise throttle response.
• With Super-Soft and Govener Mode for helicopter,compatible with Fixed-wing aircraft
and Helicopter.
• With protected over-temperature function,ensure the safe of using ESC and providing
good anti-jamming capability.
• With the design of cooling fins,decrease using temperature.
• The size is small , proper and easy for installation.
Direction for use:
• The range of input voltage:5.5V-16.8V(Lipo 2-4cells/Nimh 6-12cells).Don't surpass
voltage to use ,otherwise it will break the product.
• The power should be connected in correct way .Red is anode and black is cathode.
• Setting for high throttle response speed, current will be increased in expedite
instantaneous.
•
• •
• With continuous heavy current working,it needs the heat output of ESC goes better.
Wiring Diagram : Attention to the
anode and cathode of the power and connection the
power for testing after checked,the wrong connection will break the controller.
