SETUP DEFAULTS: Restore Factory Defaults

1. Turn on your radio and set the throttle stick to the top, full “ON”

positon (100%).

2. Plug the battery pack into your controller.

3. Wait 2 seconds. You will hear 4 groups of two fast beeps. After

this, groups of 4 varying beeps, tones and melodies will sound.

4. When you hear — — — —, you are in the Factory Setup Defaults

section. If you would like to reset to the factory default settings,

pull the throttle stick to the lowest, “OFF” position.

5. The sound will stop, this indicates you have finished programming

this function and your settings are saved.

Note

For Lithium packs, the number of cells is automatically

calculated and requires no user input apart from defining

the battery type. This ESC provides 3 setting options

for the low voltage protection threshold: Low (2.8V)/

Medium (3.0V)/ High (3.2V). For example: the voltage

cutoff options for an 11.1V/ 3 cell Li-Po pack would be

8.4V (Low)/ 9.0V (Med)/ 9.6V (High).

Note

For NiCd or NiMH packs, the low / medium / high cutoff

voltages are 50%/60%/65% of the initial voltage of the

battery pack. For example: a fully charged 6-cell NiMH

pack’s voltage is 1.44V per cell or 6=8.64V for the pack.

When the “Low” cutoff voltage is set, the cutoff voltage is

4.3V (8.64V x 50%). When “Medium”” is set, the cutoff

voltage is 5.18 (8.64V x 60%) or if “High” is used then it is

5.61V (8.64 x 65%).

Caution

Setting the cutoff threshold too low for Lithium chemistry

batteries can damage your battery and render it unusable.

The low cutoff should never be lower than what is

recommended by the battery manufacturer.
