³Beep²´ tone will be emitted, which means the self-test is OK, the aircraft or helicopter is ready to go flying.
 If nothing is happened, please check the battery pack and all the connections;
 If a special tone ³ ƈ ´ is emitted after 2 Beep tones (³Beep-Beep-´), means the ESC has entered the program mode, it is
because the throttle channel of your transmitter is reversed, please set it correctly;
 If the red LED flashes very quickly (2 times per second), means the input voltage is too low or too high, please check your battery ¶s
voltage.
3. VERY IMPORTANT! Because different transmitter has different throttle range, you need to calibrate the throttle range and let the ESC
remember it. Please read the instruction on the left bottom of this page ------ ³Throttle Range Setting´.
After correctly setting the throttle range, the red LED lights when the throttle stick is moved to the top position (Maximum throttle).
Ǐ ǏAlert Toneǐ ǐ
1. Input voltage is abnormal: The ESC begins to check the voltage when the battery pack is connected, if the voltage is not in the
acceptable range, such an alert
WRQH ZLOO EH HPLWWHG  ³Beep-Beep-, Beep-Beep-´ (Every ³Beep-Beep-´ has a time interval of about 1
second), and at the same time, the red LED also flashes.
2. Throttle signal is lost: When the ESC can ¶t detect the normal throttle signal, such an alert WRQHZLOOEHHPLWWHG ³Beep-, Beep-, Beep-´.
(Every ³Beep-´ has a time interval of about 2 seconds)
3. Throttle stick is not in the bottom position: When the throttle stick is not in the bottom (lowest) position, a very rapid alert tone will be
emitted:
³Beep-, Beep-, Beep-´. (Every ³Beep-´ has a time interval of about 0.25 second.)
Ǐ ǏProtection Functionǐ ǐ
1. Abnormal startup protection: If the motor fails to start within 2 seconds of throttle application, the ESC will cut-off the output power. In this
case, the throttle stick MUST be moved to the bottom position again to restart the motor. (This happens in the following cases: The
connection between ESC and motor is not reliable, the propeller or the motor is blocked, the gearbox is damaged, etc.)
2. Over-heat protection: When the temperature of the ESC is over a factory-preset degree, the ESC will reduce the output power.
3. Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will cutoff the output power if throttle signal is lost for more than 0.25 second, the output power
will be resumed as soon as the throttle signal is normal again.
Ǐ ǏTrouble Shootingǐ ǐ
Trouble Possible Reason Action
After power on, motor does not work, no sound is
emitted The connection between battery
pack and ESC is not correct Check the power connection.
Replace the connector with new one
After power on, motor does not work, such an
alert tone is emitted and the red LED flashes at
the same time.
³Beep-Beep-, Beep-Beep-´ (Every ³Beep-Beep-´
has a time interval of about 1 second) Input voltage is abnormal, too high
or too low.
Check the voltage of battery pack
After power on, motor does not work, such an
alert tone is emitted:
³Beep-, Beep-, Beep- ´(Every ³Beep-´ has a time
interval of about 2 seconds) Throttle signal is irregular or lost Check the receiver and transmitter
Check the control cable of the ESC
After power on, motor does not work, such an
alert tone is emitted:
³Beep-, Beep-, Beep-´ (Every ³Beep-´ has a time
interval of about 0.25 second) The throttle stick is not in the
bottom (lowest) position
Move the throttle stick to bottom position
Set the throttle trimmer to neutral or even
lower.
After power on, motor does not work, a special
tone
³ ƈ ´ is emitted after 2 ³Beep´ tones
(Beep-Beep-)
Direction of the throttle channel is
reversed, so the ESC has entered
the program mode Set the direction of throttle channel correctly
(Please refer to the user manual of your
transmitter)
The motor runs in the opposite direction The connection between ESC and
the motor need to be changed. Swap any two wire connections between
ESC and motor
The motor stop running while in working state Throttle signal is lost Check the receiver and transmitter
Check the control cable of throttle channel
ESC has entered Low Voltage
Protection mode Land RC model as soon as possible, and
replace the battery pack
Some connections are not reliable Check all the connections: battery pack
connection, throttle signal cable, motor
connections, etc.
Ǐ ǏNormal Startup Procedureǐ ǐ
Ǐ ǏThrottle Range Settingǐ ǐ
Ǐ ǏProgram The ESC With The Transmitterǐ ǐ(4 Setps)
1. Enter program mode
2. Select
programmable items
3. 6HWLWHP¶s value (Programmable value)
4. Exit program mode
Note6: After setting the programmable items by the throttle stick or a Program Card, you will hear 5 long ³Beep²´ tones when the ESC exits
the program mode. You can restart the ESC after 5 seconds.
Move the throttle
stick to bottom
position and then
switch on your
transmitter As soon as the self-test
process is finished, a
long
³Beep²´ tone will
be emitted
Several ³Beep-´ tones
emits to represent the
number of lipo battery
cells
Connect the battery pack to
the ESC, a special tone
³ƈ123´ emits, that means
the battery supply is OK Move the throttle
stick upwards to
go flying now
Switch on the
transmitter, and
then move the
throttle stick to
top position Connect battery pack to
the ESC, a special tone
³ƈ123´ emits, that means
the battery supply is OK,
then wait for 2 seconds ³Beep-Beep-´ tone emits,
that means the highest
point of throttle range has
been correctly confirmed Move throttle stick to the
bottom position, several
³Beep-´ tones emits to
represent the number of
Lipo battery cells A long ³Beep²´
tone emits, means
the lowest position
of throttle range has
been confirmed
1. Enter program mode
a) Switch on transmitter, move the throttle
stick to the top position.
b) Connect the battery pack to the ESC, a
special tone ³ƈ123´ emits, that means the
battery supply is OK.
c) Wait for 2 seconds, the motor will emit
³Beep-Beep-´ tone.
d) Wait for another 5 seconds, special tone
like ³ƈ ´ emits, that means the
program mode is entered
4. Exit program mode
There are 2 ways to exit
the program mode:
a) In Step #3, after
VSHFLDO WRQH ³ƈ ´
please move the
throttle stick to the
bottom position within
2 seconds.
b) In Step #2, after tone
