c. To select 15 Degrees – You will hear 3 short beeps.
Move the throttle stick to center (between 1.4 and
1.6ms). The controller will beep 2 times, indicating
you have set the program selection or leave in
full throttle for 5 seconds to advance to the next
selection.
d. To select 20 Degrees – You will hear 4 short beeps.
Move the throttle stick to center (between 1.4 and
1.6ms). The controller will beep 2 times, indicating
you have set the program selection or leave in
full throttle for 5 seconds to advance to the next
selection.
e. To select 25 Degrees – You will hear 5 short beeps.
Move the throttle stick to center (between 1.4 and
1.6ms). The controller will beep 2 times, indicating
you have set the program selection or leave in
full throttle for 5 seconds to advance to the first
selection again.
Programming Menu 4 – Throttle Input Range
(PWM)
The default setting is 1.2ms to 1.8ms and should work
with most radio systems. This option allows for proper
throttle input with many different radio systems. However,
some radios have a wider output range, and may give
a more linear response with the 1.1ms to 1.9ms range.
If you feel there is too much “dead” area in the stick
movement near full throttle, try adjusting the end points
in your radio, or change to the wider input range. Be
aware that if these settings are not correct, it may be
impossible to arm the controller.
1. Move the stick to center (between 1.4 and 1.6ms)
for 5 seconds, and the controller will beep 4 times,
indicating you are now in Menu 4.
2. Move the throttle stick to full throttle (>1.7ms)
position to make changes to the Throttle Input
Range programming.
a. To select 1.2ms to 1.8ms – You will hear 1 short
beep. Move the throttle stick to center (between
1.4 and 1.6ms). The controller will beep 2 times,
indicating you have set the program selection or
leave in full throttle for 5 seconds to advance to the
next selection.
b. To select 1.1ms to 1.9ms – You will hear 2 short
beeps. Move the throttle stick to center (between
1.4 and 1.6ms). The controller will beep 2 times,
indicating you have set the program selection or
leave in full throttle for 5 seconds to advance to the
first selection again.
Programming Menu 5 – Start-Up Rate
The default setting is 0.25 seconds. The start-up rate
is the time it takes to reach maximum motor speed.
Changing the setting to 1 second can be useful with
power-fragile gear boxes.
1. Move the stick to center (between 1.4 and 1.6ms)
for 5 seconds, and the controller will beep 5 times,
indicating you are now in Menu 3.
2. Move the throttle stick to full throttle (>1.7ms)
position to make changes to the Start-up Rate
programming.
a. To select .25 second – You will hear 1 short beep.
Move the throttle stick to center (between 1.4 and
1.6ms). The controller will beep 2 times, indicating
you have set the program selection or leave in
full throttle for 5 seconds to advance to the next
selection.
b. To select 1 second – You will hear 2 short beeps.
Move the throttle stick to center (between 1.4 and
1.6ms). The controller will beep 2 times, indicating
you have set the program selection or leave in
full throttle for 5 seconds to advance to the first
selection again.
Programming Menu 6 – PWM Switching
Frequency
The default setting is 8kHz, which should be acceptable
for most motors. If you have a low or very low
inductance motor and know you need to use a higher
PWM Frequency (refer to the manual included with the
motor), then you can change the setting. Otherwise, we
recommend leaving the default setting.
1. Move the stick to center (between 1.4 and 1.6ms)
for 5 seconds, and the controller will beep 6 times,
indicating you are now in Menu 6.
2. Move the throttle stick to full throttle (>1.7ms)
position to make changes to the PWM Switching
Frequency programming.
a. To select 8kHz PWM Frequency – You will hear
1 short beep. Move the throttle stick to center
(between 1.4 and 1.6ms). The controller will beep 2
times, indicating you have set the program selection
or leave in full throttle for 5 seconds to advance to
the next selection.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT 74% CUTOFF: This
option will activate the soft cutoff at 74% of startup
voltage or 9.2V, whichever is higher. For example,
if your pack measures 16.8 volts at startup, then
the soft cut will occur at 12.4 volts. The 74% cutoff
option will check the startup voltage every time you
plug the battery into the controller, so beware of
using partially charged packs, as the system cannot
protect your Li-Po batteries if you are using the 74%
cutoff and connect a partially charged pack. You will
know your battery pack has reached soft auto cutoff
when you hear the motor “pulse” repeatedly. We
recommend you land your model as soon as you
hear the motor pulse (indicating the pack voltage has
dropped to the cutoff voltage level) to prevent over-
discharge of the Li-Po battery pack, and to prevent
sudden power loss.
Programming Menu 2 – Brake Type
The default setting is Brake Off. This option gives you the
choice to have the ESC stop the propeller during flight
(Brake On) or allow it to windmill (Brake Off). Use the
Brake On option for folding propellers.
1. Move the stick to center (between 1.4 and 1.6ms)
for 5 seconds, and the controller will beep 2 times,
indicating you are now in Menu 2.
2. Move the throttle stick to full throttle (>1.7ms)
position to make changes to the Brake Type
programming.
a. To select No Brake/Brake Off – You will hear 1 short
beep. Move the throttle stick to center (between
1.4 and 1.6ms). The controller will beep 2 times,
indicating you have set the program selection or
leave in full throttle for 5 seconds to advance to the
next selection.
b. To select Soft Brake – You will hear 2 short beeps.
Move the throttle stick to center (between 1.4 and
1.6ms). The controller will beep 2 times, indicating
you have set the program selection or leave in
full throttle for 5 seconds to advance to the next
selection.
c. To select Medium Brake – You will hear 3 short
beeps. Move the throttle stick to center (between
1.4 and 1.6ms). The controller will beep 2 times,
indicating you have set the program selection or
leave in full throttle for 5 seconds to advance to the
next selection.
d. To select Hard Brake – You will hear 4 short beeps.
Move the throttle stick to center (between 1.4 and
1.6ms). The controller will beep 2 times, indicating
you have set the program selection or leave in
full throttle for 5 seconds to advance to the first
selection again.
Programming Menu 3 – Timing
The default setting is 15 degrees. As a general rule,
lower pole count motors use lower timing and higher
pole count motors use higher timing. Please refer to your
motor instructions and specifications for an indication of
the number of poles.
