Pro Boat Waterproof 45A Brushless ESC - Manual (Page 2)

Adjusting the Transmitter
Note: Refer to the radio
instructions for specific
information on transmitter
setup.
1. Set the Throttle Reversing switch to
the Normal position. (This may need
to be reversed on some brands of
radios).
2. Set the Throttle Trim to the CENTER
position.
3. Set the Throttle Exponential (if
applicable) to minimum or zero.
4. Set the “ATV” (if applicable) to 100%.
5. If your transmitter has an adjustable
trigger (or stick), move it to the 70/30
position.
Water-cooling connections
Connect water cooling tubing to either
of the nipples on the ESC. Be sure to
connect the cooling lines through the
ESC first, then the motor.
Speed Control Programming
Turn on the transmitter and leave the
throttle control stationary in the neutral
position.
Turn on the speed controller.
If you do not hear a “beep”, switch off
the speed controller, disconnect the
power connectors, wait for 5 seconds
and repeat the procedure of connecting
and switching on.
You will hear the “beep” when first
switching on the ESC. When you
switch off the speed controller without
disconnecting the power pack, you will
not hear the beep the next time the ESC
is turned on.
* The speed controller will adjust the full
throttle position automatically.
When operation is complete, turn off the
receiver, then the transmitter.
Note: Do Not turn off the
transmitter first or the receiver
may pick up stray signals and
run out of control.
Note: The brushless ESC has an
automatic rev limiter that will
not allow the motor to maintain
full throttle unless the motor is
loaded (in the water). To reset,
return throttle to neutral.
The ESC also features a cutoff voltage
indicator that will stop the motor from
operating if the batteries are reaching
full discharge. To reset, return the
throttle to neutral and bring the boat
to shore at low throttle and recharge
batteries. The optional programming
module allows you to choose from a 1/2
power drop or total power off modes.
Brake Adjustments
The speed controller is supplied with the
“brake” activated. If you want to turn off
the brake, do the following:
-Switch on the transmitter and move the
stick to full throttle.
-Connect the main power pack and turn
on the ESC power switch.
-Wait 5 seconds.
-After 5 seconds you will hear 4 tones.
-Swiftly move the throttle stick to
the full brake position; you will hear
two “beeps”.
-The brake is now turned off.
Note: The brake setting will not
change after disconnecting the
main power pack. When turning
on the speed controller with the
brake active, you will always
hear one “beep”. When the brake
is turned off you will hear two
“beeps”. If you want to activate
the brake again, repeat the
procedure.
Motor Timing Adjustments
* It is possible to set two timing modes
with these speed controllers.
-Soft timing- for 2, 4, 6, pole inrunner
motors. Soft timing gives maximum
efficiency.
-Hard timing- only for 6 and more pole
inrunner motors or outrunner motors.
Hard timing increases both the motor
revolutions and the current (up to 20%)
with the same prop and battery pack
when compared to soft timing. You will
notice a substantial decrease in runtime
using the hard timing mode.
Always use soft timing for first runs. If
the temperature of the batteries, speed
controller and motor are cool to the
touch after operation in the soft timing
mode, it is possible to test the system
using the hard timing mode. Do not
use hard timing with 2-pole motors,
regardless of temperature.
* The speed controllers are supplied with
soft timing. The following steps describe
how to change the timing:
-Switch on the transmitter and move the
stick to full throttle.
-Connect the main power packs and
turn on the receiver switch and wait 5
seconds.
-After 5 seconds you will hear 4 “beeps”.
-After further 5 seconds you will hear 5
“beeps” for soft timing.
-Or 5 double “beeps” for hard timing.
-The required timing is set by moving
the throttle to the full brake position
during the five beep sequence that you
choose.
-The new timing is confirmed by a
single “beep”(soft timing) or a double
“beep”(hard timing).
Note: The timing setting will not
change after disconnecting the
main power pack.
* Timing monitor (if you want to know
what timing you have).
After the first “beep” wait 5 seconds
(keep the throttle in the neutral
position).
The controller gives 5 single beeps for
soft timing or 5 double beeps for hard
timing.
It is possible to interrupt this beeping at
any time by moving the throttle control.
Automatic Voltage Cutoff
Analyzer
*These controllers have automatic cutoff
with auto detection for the number and
type of cells. This circuit provides the
correct cutoff for all types and number
of cells.
ESC Programming
Your ESC is pre-programmed from the
factory. The programming is set for
Ni-MH batteries, with the brake on,
in the soft timing mode with linear
throttle curve.
A programming module (PRB3311) is
available to change the programming
of your speed control quickly and
easily. Settings include Ni-MH or Li-Po
batteries, cutoff voltage settings, cutoff
type, brake on or off, motor timing and
throttle curve.
Caution: It is imperative that
you do not attempt to use Li-
Po batteries in the Blackjack
26 Brushless unless it has been
properly programmed or serious
damage to the batteries and
electronics may occur.
Note: Do not turn off the
transmitter first or the receiver
may pick up stray signals and
run out of control.
