Turnigy Super Brain ESC-100A User Manual

Warnings
·Strongly recommend to calibrate the throttle range of transmitter when you first use the controller or
when using a new/different transmitter or receiver.
·When connecting the ESC to battery pack, please ensure the polarity is correct. Incorrect polarity may
cause permanent damage to the ESC and such damage is not covered by manufacturer’s WARRANTY.
·When you use the ESC, turn on the transmitter BEFORE powering on the receiver.
·When you finish the flying, power off the receiver BEFORE turning off the transmitter.
·The limiting current is set to the ‘standard mode’ in factory. It is suitable for use in most configurations.
Only experienced technicians can adjust this programming.
·In Governor Mode, the brake is always disabled and the soft cutoff is always active.
·Changing the PWM may cause the motor to heat ahead of time.
·Damage to the controller as a result of excessively high current is not covered by the manufacturer’s
WARRANTY.
·Never disconnect the battery pack while the motor is running, as this could cause damage to the speed
controller and/or motor.
·Connectors with low conductivity may cause erratic motor rotations or other unexpected movements.
·The controller will automatically power off the
motor if the battery voltage drops below the programmed
cut-off voltage (factory preset at 12.0V). Try using a smaller prop on the motor, or using batteries with a
higher rating. It is especially important for the user of Li-poly cells.
· Allowing water, lubricants, moisture or other foreign objects inside the ESC will VOID the
WARRANTY. Exposure to CA glue or its fumes can cause damage and malfunctions; this will also VOID
the WARRANTY.
