The ESC included with the Mini Switch is pre-programmed
to the correct settings to work best with the Mini Switch—
other than calibrating the throttle (only if using a transmitter
different than the Tactic that comes with the Mini Switch),
there is nothing that needs to be done with the ESC. However,
should you ever desire to reprogram the ESC to suit different
requirements, following are full programming instructions.
FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS
Motor Brake:
Battery Type:
LVC (Low-Voltage Cutoff):
Start Mode:
Timing:
Off
LiPo
Medium (3.15V/cell)
Normal (.3 seconds)
Low (3.75°)
If using a transmitter different than the Tactic
included with the RTF version, the throttle must
be calibrated.
CAUTION: All adjustments to the ESC should be conducted
with the propeller removed from the motor or one of the three
motor wires disconnected from the ESC to prevent the motor
from starting inadvertently.
1. Turn on your transmitter and move the throttle stick to full-
throttle.
2. Connect the battery. The ESC will emit three rapid tones
(“ 1 2 3”) indicating that all is well, followed by two short
beeps (“beep beep”) indicating that the top point of the
throttle range has been detected and set.
3. You have about four seconds to return the throttle stick all
the way down. Then the ESC will emit three more beeps
(indicating the number of LiPo cells) followed by one long
beep (“beeep”) indicating that the low point of the throttle
range has been detected. Simply disconnect the battery
to end the procedure. Now the throttle has been calibrated
and the Mini Switch is ready to fl y.
FULL PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Access the Programming Menu:
A. Turn on the transmitter and advance the throttle stick all
the way forward.
B. Connect the battery to the ESC.
Listen: Three tones (“ 1 2 3”)
➮
two short beeps (“beep
beep”)
➮
a 5-second pause
➮
fi ve tones (“ 1 2 3 4 5”)
Now the ESC is in the Programming Menu and will loop
through a sequence of beeps, each of which represents a
function in the menu that can be reprogrammed. (You don’t
have to do anything at this time; you can simply listen to
the beeps identifying which function correlates with which
sequence of beeps.)

*Determines how the motor will stop when low-voltage is detected.
Soft: Motor will quit gradually. Hard: Motor will cut immediately.
**Determines how the motor starts when you advance the throttle. Normal is
recommended for airplane (fixed-wing) use. (Soft or super-soft is
recommended for helicopters.)
2. After you hear the sequence of beeps that represents
the function you wish to change, lower the throttle stick
to enter the programming mode for that function. The
ESC will now beep as indicated below, waiting for your
command to change the setting.
