GREAT PLANES ElectriFly Silver Series SS-80 Manual

MOTOR CONNECTIONS

Each of the three motor leads is made of high-quality 12 or 14

gauge, silicone insulated wire with a gold-plated female bullet

connector on the end. These connections are not polarized,

so there is no need to match the color of the ESC and motor

wires. If the motor rotates backwards, simply switch any two

of the ESC's motor connectors. Once connected, make sure

all connections are insulated electrically. Failure to do so could

result in permanent damage to the motor/ESC, and void all

warranties.

The SS-60 includes 4mm female bullet connectors. The SS-80

includes 6mm female bullet connectors. If the connectors on

the ESC do not properly match those on the motor, an adapter

for each wire might be necessary. ElectriFly offers various

bullet connector adapters, which can be found at local retailers

as follows:

MOUNTING THE ESC

Determine the best location for the ESC, inside or outside the

fuselage.

IMPORTANT! It's highly recommended to install

the ESC so that air can freely ﬂ ow across it during

operation! The more air which can ﬂ ow over the ESC,

the better. This is especially important when using the maximum

number of cells on the input, when ambient temperatures are

very high, when using a lot of servos in the aircraft, or performing

very active 3D maneuvers! If the airplane's structure doesn't

naturally allow for air to ﬂ ow into the fuselage, create vent holes

fore and aft in the fuselage to allow air to pass through and

across the ESC for cooling. Do NOT pack the ESC with foam

padding as it will not allow the ESC to properly radiate heat and

likely cause a thermal shutdown.

three #4 x 5/8" [16mm] screws with #4 washers (wood screws

for solid wood surfaces). If mounting to metal, use three 4-40

machine screws with #4 washers.

If the wires are not long enough to make all necessary

connections to the ESC yet achieve good balance in the

aircraft, it's best to extend the length of the wires to the motor

(not to the battery).

For proper ESC operation, it's very important to set the

transmitter's throttle channel adjustments, as follows:

with

LiPo batteries. It is not

required to setup the

ESC to recognize the

exact battery type.

First, make sure the battery is FULLY charged before connecting

it to the ESC. Failure to do so will not allow the low voltage

cutoff feature to work properly (see details below). Connect the

battery to the lead on the ESC which has the Star Plug. Make

sure to observe proper polarity [red (+) leads go together, and

black (-) leads together]. NEVER allow a battery's red (+) and

black (-) wires to touch as permanent damage will result and

void all warranties!

LOW VOLTAGE CUTOFF: The SS-60 and SS-80 ESCs include

a low-voltage cutoff feature that stops motor rotation if the

battery's voltage drops too low (but power will still be supplied

to the receiver and servos so you can land the aircraft). This

protects the battery from damage. When the battery is initially

connected, the ESC measures the battery's voltage and

automatically sets the low voltage cutoff based on this initial

battery voltage multiplied by 0.74. So, if the battery is NOT fully

charged when connected to the ESC, the ESC will set a low

voltage cutoff that is too low.

The SS-60 and SS-80 ESCs will cause the brushless motor to

make beeps which will aid in setting up the system. Make sure the

motor is connected, but that the propeller is removed.

BRAKE FUNCTION: The factory default brake setting is "off".

Skip to the "ESC OPERATION" section below if you want to

keep this setting. To turn the brake "on":

NECESSARY TRANSMITTER SETTINGS

1. Set the throttle channel's travel adjustment (ATV,EPA or

ATL) to 100%.

2. Set the throttle trim and sub-trim to neutral or zero.

3. Set the throttle channel's reversing switch to reverse on

Futaba transmitters. Other transmitters might require you

to set the throttle reversing switch to normal.

IMPORTANT! Make sure the battery is fully

charged prior to every use!! Failure to do so will

cause the ESC to automatically set a low-voltage

cutoff point which is too low for the battery.
