Program Instructions

Dear customer,

Thank you for purchasing our Brushless Motor Controller. This is a

new generation of sensorless speed controllers, with the latest

in software design to support ALL types of brushless

motors.

Please read and pay careful attention to the following

instructions before you use your motor and

controller.

Wire Connections:

The speed controller can be connected to the motor by soldering it

directly or by using high quality connectors.

Always use new connectors, which should be soldered carefully to

the cables and insulated with heat shrink tubing. The maximum length

of the wires leading to the battery pack shall be no more than 6 inches.

Controller to the motor wires.

Solder appropriate connectors to the battery wires.

Insulate all solder connectors with heat shrink tubes.

Plug the JR connector into the receiver throttle channel.

The Controllers Red and Black wires connect to the battery pack Red

and Black wires respectively.

Installing the Controller:

Install the controller in the model so that it is free from vibration and

shock using Velcro or double sided foam tape. Make sure there is

sufficient cooling for the motor and controller by ducting air

through cooling holes for outside airflow.

Failure to adequately cool the motor or controller could cause them to

Over heat and become damaged.

Normal start up:

Switch on transmitter and check throttle settings are +/-100% (for

computer radio).

For Futaba Radio’s program the Servo Reverse function on the

throttle channel.

Ensure throttle stick is in the down or brake position;

Switch on Transmitter

Connect battery pack to the controller

Receiver switches On (BEC switch on).

You will hear one beep for Brake on or two tones for Brake off.

The position of full throttle will be calibrated automatically.

You motor now is ready to run.

WARNING:

Always connect the motor battery pack just before flight and

disconnect it immediately after landing.

Once the motor battery pack is connected, handle the model

with extreme care!

Ensure that you are well clear of the propeller at all times as the rotating

propeller is extremely dangerous!

Even when the receiver (BEC) switch is OFF, remember

the motor battery pack may still be connected. Handle

the model with extreme care and stay clear of the propeller!

Factory default settings;

Brake: Off

Battery type: Li-Poly

Under voltage: Reduce power

Soft start: Enable

Timing: Auto

Frequency: 8KHz

RPM Control: Off

How to program your controller:

Switch on the transmitter and push the throttle stick to full

throttle.

Connect the motor battery pack and turn on the receiver

(BEC) switch.

Wait for 5 sec, you will tones setup mode is entered: __ --

When you hear the desired tones, pull the throttle down, then you

will hear two confirmation tones. The setting is now saved.

You can only change one setting at a time, if you need to change

more settings, disconnect the motor battery pack and wait 5

seconds, and repeat above procedure for next setting.

You can exit the programming mode at any time if you disconnect

the battery from ESC.

1. Setting up the prop Brake on or off

Follow above procedure enter to the programming mode.

If you pull the throttle stick to off within 5 sec, Brake will be

changed. (ON to OFF, or OFF to ON)

2. Battery type

(Select battery type which is being used in your model, you can select

2-6 LiPo for ESC of 40, 60 and 85 amps.

2x LiPo:

3x LiPo:

4x LiPo:

5x LiPo:

6x Lipo:

3. LVC (low voltage cut-off LVC)

If the motor battery pack drops to the programmed cut-off voltage,

the controller will either ignore, reduce the motor speed, or stop the

motor to ensure that there is enough power for the receiver and

servos. You can resume to normal operation

by pulling down the throttle stick and push up again, but remember

that it’s time to land you model!

reduce power:

cut off:

(stop motor immediately)

4. Rotation reverse

This function is to change the motor rotation direction.

(for example: Right to Left, or vice versa)

Reverse motor rotation

5. Soft start (Acceleration)

When gearbox drive system is used, It’s highly recommended to

enable the Soft start.

Because it’s protecting the gearbox, a

large diameter of propeller is used.

Disable the soft start function when direct drive system is used or

If used in speed competition

Enable:

VV VV VV VV VV

Disable:

V V V V V

6. Timing (advance timing)

The controller has three timing modes; Automatic works perfect for

ALL types of brushless motors. But for some brands or homemade

brushless motors, you have to set the right timing for optimal

efficiency and power; 7 degree for multi-pole motors, 30 degree for

outrunner motors.

Automatic: (7 ~ 30 degree)

- - - - -

Soft: (7 degree)

-- -- -- -- --

Hard (22 ~ 30 degree)

--- --- --- --- ---

7. Switching Frequency

The controller has two switching frequency modes. 8KHz is good

for ALL types of two pole motor, 16KHz is good for multi pole motors.

_._ rpm control off

_.._ first range (up to 20.000 electrical rpm)

_..._ second range (up to 50.000 electrical rpm)

_...._ third range (up to 100.000 electrical rpm)

Caution!:

Warning! Model aircraft equipped with high power motor can kill.

High power motor systems can be very dangerous! High currents

can heat wires and batteries, causing fires and burning skin or

anything that comes in contact. Follow the wiring connection carefully!

Always fly at a sanctioned field. Never fly over or near spectators.

Even though this controller is equipped with a safety arming program,

you should still use caution when connecting the main battery.

Notice for Operation:

Do Not exceed the 10 cells / 6x Li-Poly or 4-5 servos when using

BEC.

Temperature overload protection is built into the speed

Controller and it turns off the motor immediately when the temperature

reaches 212 F/100 C.

Only connect the controller to a power

source approved for model aircraft. Ensure that the right polarity of NiCd,

NiMH or Li-Poly power packs is observed or the

controller will be seriously damaged.
