Settings:
1. Brake Type: Brake Off/Soft Brake/Mid Brake/Hard Brake
* Brake Off- Sets the propeller to freewheel when the throttle stick is at the minimum
position.
* Soft Brake Sets the propeller to the 30% of the brake when the throttle stick is at the
minimum position (Recommended for folding props).
* Mid Brake Sets the propeller to the 60% of the brake when the throttle stick is at the
minimum position (Recommended for folding props).
* Hard Brake Sets the propeller to the 100% of the brake when the throttle stick is at
the minimum position (Recommended for folding props).
2. Battery type: NiCad/NiMh /LiPo / LiFe
* NiCad/NiMH – Sets Low Voltage protection threshold for NiCad/NiMH cells.
* LiPo Sets Low voltage protection threshold for LiPo cells and automatically detects
the number of cells within the pack.
* LiFe – Sets Low Voltage protection threshold for LiFe cells.
Note: Selecting the NiCad/NiMH option for the battery type, triggers the ESC to
automatically set the cutoff threshold to the factory default of 60%.The cutoff threshold
can then be subsequently altered through the Low Voltage protection function, if
required. The ESC will read the initial voltage of the NiCad/NiMh pack once it is
plugged in and the voltage read will then be used as a reference for the cut off voltage
threshold.
3. Cut Off Voltage Threshold (Low Voltage Protection Threshold):
2.8V/50%/ 3.0V/60%/ 3.2V/65%/No Protection
1) For Li-xx packs- number of cells are automatically calculated and requires no user
input apart from defining the battery type. This ESC provides 4 setting options for the
low voltage protection threshold; 2.8V/ 3.0V/3.2V/No Protection. For example: the
voltage cutoff options for an 11.1V/ 3 cell Li-Po pack would be 8.4V (Low)/ 9.0V
(Med)/ 9.6V (High)
2) For Ni-xx/Life packs-low / medium / high cutoff voltages are 50%/60%/65% of the
initial voltage of the battery pack. For example: A fully charged 6 cell NiMh pack's
voltage is 1.44V x 6=8.64V, when LOW cutoff voltage is set, the cutoff voltage is:
8.64V x 50%=4.3V and when Medium of “High is set, the cutoff voltage is now
8.64V X 65%=5.61V.
4. Restore factory setup defaults:
Restore- Sets the ESC back to factory default settings;
Brake Type: Brake Off
Battery Type: LiPo with Automatic Cell detective
Cut Off Voltage Threshold: 3.0V/60%
Motor Timing: Auto
