Battery Eliminator Circuit (BEC)
properly.
• Do not attempt to use Silver Series ESC with brushed motors.
• Do not allow water, moisture or any foreign material onto the
ESC PC board.
• Use heat-shrink tubing to insulate any bare wires between the
motor battery and ESC , and from the ESC to the motor to
prevent a short circuit.
Allow the ESC to cool before touching and between flights.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• ElectriFly is not responsible for incidental damage or personal
injury as a result of misuse of this product.
The built-in Battery Eliminator Circuit allows the ESC’s battery to
also supply power to the receiver and servos , eliminating the
need for a separate receiver battery . Refer to the specification
chart at the end of this manual for the BEC current ratings for
each Easy-Plug ESC.
It’s very IMPORTANT to understand that BEC circuits are rated
to handle only a certain amount of current, power, and heat.
If such limits are exceeded the ESC might reset itself, automat-
ically returning throttle control back to minimum ! This could ha-
ppen if too many servos are used or if using servos which draw
high current ( high torque or digital servos ) , and is especially
important to know when flying extreme 3D maneuvers wh-
ich require all servos to be activated very rapidly at the sa-
me time. If a BEC reset occurs, only the throttle channel will be
affected – control of all other surfaces will not be interrupted.By
simply “ re-arming ” the throttle channel ( see “ESC SETUP”)
while in flight you should be able to re-gain throttle control very
quickly.
