that the Products purchased (the

“Product”) will be free from defects in

materials and workmanship at the date of

purchase by the Purchaser.

Limited Warranty

(a) This warranty is limited to the original

Purchaser (“Purchaser”) and is not

transferable. REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT AS

PROVIDED UNDER THIS WARRANTY IS THE

EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF THE PURCHASER.

This warranty covers only those Products

purchased from an authorized Horizon

is required for warranty claims. Further,

Horizon reserves the right to change or

modify this warranty without notice and

disclaims all other warranties, express or

FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE

OF THE PRODUCT. THE PURCHASER

ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THEY ALONE HAVE

DETERMINED THAT THE PRODUCT WILL

SUITABLY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF

THE PURCHASER’S INTENDED USE.
(c) Purchaser Remedy- Horizon’s sole

Programming Module for

Pro Boat Brushless ESC

(PRB3309)

For Li-Po use, Pro Boat recommends

2-THP33002SX 7.4V 3300mAh 2S.

These batteries do not come with

connectors. You must solder WSD1303

Dean’s female connectors to the battery

wires prior to use.

Caution

: Never use Li-Po

batteries unless the ESC has

been programmed to accept them

or permanent damage to the

batteries may occur.

Cutoff Voltage

In High Cutoff mode, the cutoff voltage

is automatically set to .9 volts per cell.

Li-Po will cut off at 3.0 volts per cell.
In Low Cutoff mode, the cutoff voltage

is automatically set to .7 volts per cell.

Li-Po will cut off at 2.7 volts per cell.
The High Cutoff mode allows ample power

in reserve for return to shore but may limit

runtimes.
The Low Cutoff mode allows longer

runtimes but leaves less battery power in

reserve after cut off for returning the boat

to shore.

Cutoff Type

In the Idle mode, the ESC will stop

delivering power to the motor, indicating

that the cutoff voltage has been reached.
In the Slow Down mode, the ESC will drop

to 50% power at full throttle.
To reset, return the throttle to neutral.

Brake

The braking effect can be turned on or off

to allow the boat to stop immediately when

throttle is returned to idle, or coast to a

stop if the brake is turned off.

Timing

The Low Timing mode allows the longest

runtime and is suggested for 2, 4, and 6

pole inrunner motors.
You may use the High Timing mode for 6 or

more pole inrunner motors and outrunner

motors ONLY, and if temperatures of the

electronic components do not exceed

130 degrees F in the Low Timing mode.

Runtimes will significantly be reduced in

the High Timing mode.

Introduction

The Pro Boat Programming Module

allows quick programming for the Pro

Boat Brushless electronic speed control

(PRB3309). It allows you to personalize

settings for battery type (Li-Po or Ni-MH),

High or Low voltage cutoff, cutoff type,

brake, timing and throttle curve. Just set

the switches on the programming module

to your preferences, connect it to the

receiver and you are ready to run.

Features

Battery Type

The ESC can be programmed for use with

either Ni-MH and Ni-Cd or Li-Po and Li-ion

batteries. This setting changes the cut-off

voltage so that the ESC will not unsafely

discharge the batteries too low.
For Ni-MH use, Pro Boat recommends

2-PRB3313 7.2V 3600mAh Battery w/

Deans or 2-PRB3314 7.2V 4200mAh

Battery w/ Deans.

Throttle Curve

When set to the Linear mode, the throttle

is at 60% power when the throttle control

is halfway through its travel and allows

100% power at full throttle.
When set to Logarithm mode, the ESC

delivers 45% power at half throttle and

80% power at full throttle. The Logarithm

mode is suggested for first-time boaters.

Setup

Turn the on/off switch to the Off position.
Connect 2 fully charged batteries to

the ESC.
Connect the ESC servo lead to the ESC

plug on the Programming module with

respect to polarity.
Set all switches in the positions

you require.
Turn on the on/off switch. The ESC will

beep, indicating that the new programming

has been accepted. (The ESC will not

accept a new program (beep again)

unless you turn off the ESC power switch,

disconnect one of the batteries for 5

seconds and change the settings of the

programming card.)
Reconnect the throttle servo lead to the

receiver.

NOTE

: If you are not using the

ESC to power the receiver (BEC),

you must connect an external

battery (4.8V–6.0V) to the

External Power Source plug.
