Dromida DIDM1002 - Manual

IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
• Always monitor ESC, motor and battery temperatures during running.
• Disconnect the battery from the ESC immediately if the ESC or battery becomes hot. Allow the ESC or battery to cool completely before
reconnecting.
• Never use more than a 2S LiPo or 7-cell NiMH battery.
• Always mount the ESC in a location where air can flow freely across it during operation.
• Always disconnect the battery from the ESC when not in use.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged before connecting to the ESC.
• Do not attempt to use the brushless ESC with a brushed motor.
• Use heat shrink tubing to insulate any bare wires between the motor battery and ESC to prevent any short circuiting.
• The ESC may become hot during running. Allow the ESC to cool before touching.
• Never turn on the ESC before plugging it into the receiver and switching on the transmitter.
• Dromida is not responsible for incidental damage or personal injury as a result of misuse of this product.
INSTALLATION
Use a quality double-sided tape to install the ESC and on/off switch to the
chassis. It is recommended that you locate the ESC between the servo
and the brushless motor on the chassis for best results. Make sure when
locating the switch that it does not interfere with any moving parts or the
vehicle’s body.
Once the ESC is installed onto the chassis, connect the three motor wires
from the ESC to the motor wires on the brushless motor. If the motor runs
in reverse, swap any two of the motor wires.
Insert the receiver wire from the ESC into channel 2 of the receiver. Make
sure to install the wires per the receiver manufacturer’s specifications.
THROTTLE CALIBRATION
Before the ESC can be used, throttle calibration must be performed to ensure the throttle is set up properly. Be sure that your throttle trim
is set to ZERO before performing calibration and that throttle end points and dual rates are set to maximum.
NOTE: We recommend that you prop the vehicle up off the ground to prevent it from driving off the surface in case the calibration is not
performed properly.
1. With the ESC turned off, turn on the transmitter.
2. Press and hold the “SET” button on the on/off switch. Then, switch on the ESC. When the red LED begins to flash, release the button
immediately.
3. With the transmitter throttle at neutral, press and release the ESC “SET” button. The green LED should flash one time.
4. With the transmitter throttle at full throttle, press and release the ESC “SET” button. The green LED should flash two times.
5. With the transmitter throttle at full reverse, press and release the ESC “SET” button. The green LED should flash three times.
6. After the calibration is completed, wait at least three seconds before giving any transmitter input.
NOTE: If you do not release the “SET” button once the red LED begins to flash, the ESC will enter the program mode. If this happens turn
the ESC off and start over.
LED STATUS IN NORMAL RUNNING
• When the throttle is at neutral, all LEDs should be off.
• When running forward, the red LED will illuminate.
• At full throttle, the Red and Green LEDs will illuminate.
• During braking, the red LED will flash quickly.
ALERT TONES
When you turn on the ESC it checks the battery’s voltage. If the battery is out of the normal voltage range it will alert you with a “beep-
beep….beep-beep….beep-beep.”
If the throttle signal is abnormal it will alert with a “beep………beep……..beep.”
VOLTAGE PROTECTION
The Dromida brushless ESC is equipped with a “LVC” (Low Voltage Cut-off) to protect LiPo batteries from being drained too low. If the LiPo
battery is lower than the designated cut-off for more than 2 seconds the ESC will cut off the output power. The ESC cannot be restarted
if the voltage of each LiPo cell is lower than 3.5V.
Brushless ESC
Thank you for purchasing the Dromida brushless ESC.
Read this manual completely before use. Damage resulting from
misuse or modification will void your warranty.
The Dromida brushless ESC was designed for the Dromida
brushless motor. Use with any other motor other than the Dromida
brushless motor is prohibited and will void your warranty.
