5. Follow the instructions included with your replacement plugs for proper
installation. WARNING: Be sure to observe proper polarities. Also, make
certain that solid physical and electrical connections are made with solder
joints. Failure to do so can jeopardize the ESC, and other components.
STEP 5 TRANSMITTER ADJUSTMENTS
Adjusting the transmitter is critical for proper ESC operation. The transmitter
throttle adjustments should be set as follows:
1. If your transmitter has servo travel adjustment (on some transmitters this
is may be called ATV, EPA or ATL, see the instructions included with your
transmitter for proper adjustment), set the travel adjustment for the
throttle channel to 100% or full travel. Servo travel adjustment allows a
modeler to change the amount of deflection on a particular channel.
Setting the throttle channel travel adjustment to 100% will allow the power
transition from minimum to maximum power on the electronic speed
control to be smoother.
2. Set the throttle trim and sub trim on your transmitter to neutral or zero.
Most non-computer transmitters do not have sub trim. The throttle trim on
nearly all transmitters is adjusted by the lever next to the throttle stick.
This lever should be centered.
3. If you are using a Futaba transmitter, set the throttle reversing switch on
the transmitter to reverse. On Hitec, Airtronics and JR transmitters, set
the throttle reversing switch to normal. If you have a different brand of
transmitter, begin by setting the reversing switch to normal.
STEP 6 SPEED CONTROL SETUP
Before you begin this step, remove the propeller from the motor. Then, plug
the ESC into the throttle channel on the receiver and adjust the transmitter.
Before you connect the motor battery pack to the ESC, make sure the power
switch on the ESC is switched "OFF." Connect the motor battery pack to
the ESC.
1. Move the throttle stick to idle (towards you).
2. Switch on the transmitter.
3. Connect the motor to the ESC. WARNING: Never attempt to connect the
battery pack to the motor wires on the speed control.
4. Switch on the ESC. The "idle" or "motor off" position is now set.
5. Move the throttle stick to full power (away from you). The red LED will blink
(approximately 3 seconds) indicating full power has been set.
6. Move the throttle stick back to idle (towards you). The red LED will go off.
7. The ESC is now ready to operate.
IMPORTANT: If the speed control does not operate properly after following
the above set-up procedure, switch the throttle reversing switch on the
transmitter and repeat the speed control set-up.
As a safety precaution to prevent the motor from starting when the ESC is
first switched on, you will need to move the throttle to full and off every time
the ESC is switch on.
STEP 7 RANGE TEST
Because electric motors generate electrical noise it is critical to range test the
airplane, with the motor on, before flying. With the antenna collapsed and a
helper holding the airplane, operate the flight controls while walking away
from the airplane. You should be able to get approximately 75' to 100' away
before losing control of the airplane. Next, check the range with the motor
running at half throttle. The range should be close to the range you got with
the motor off. If it is not, you may need to move the receiver, receiver antenna
servo leads or speed control to a different location.
OPTIONAL RECEIVER BATTERY
A separate receiver battery may be needed if high power servos are used. With
a helper holding the airplane and the motor running, move all the servos
simultaneously. If the servos slow down or stop, a separate receiver battery
should be used.
Installing A Separate Receiver Battery:
1. Remove the red wire from the ESC receiver plug. To do this use a small flat
bladed screwdriver to raise the plastic tab holding the metal pin. Carefully
pull the red wire out of the receiver plug and insulate the pin with heat
shrink tubing or electrical tape.
2. Plug the ESC into the throttle channel on the receiver.
3. Connect a separate receiver battery to a receiver switch harness and plug
this into the battery slot of the receiver. In most electric planes a 270mAh
receiver battery will work well. If the ESC is used in an electric sailplane a
600mAh receiver battery is recommended.
4. To operate the receiver, first switch on the switch harness, then the ESC.
Reverse the order to shut the receiver off.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
SPEED CONTROL DOES NOT WORK
Problem: Motor and receiver do not work.
1. Make sure motor battery is charged.
2. The plug between the motor battery and ESC may not be making contact.
3. Check that the ESC plug is correctly plugged into the receiver.
4. Unplug the ESC from the receiver and plug a receiver battery into the
receiver. Does the radio work now? If it does, the problem may be the ESC
and requires servicing.
Problem: The ESC runs but cannot be controlled.
1. Make sure the ESC is plugged into the correct slot in the receiver.
2. Check that the transmitter is adjusted properly.
SPEED CONTROL WORKS (BUT OTHER PROBLEMS EXIST)
Problem: Receiver glitches or stutters while motor is running.
1. The three motor capacitors are not installed correctly or have broken.
2. Receiver is mounted too close to the ESC.
3. The receiver antenna is routed too close to the motor battery, ESC or wires.
4. The motor battery/ESC plugs do not fit tightly.
Problem: Motor quits after only a few minutes of running.
1. The prop on the motor may be too large, causing high current draw and
overheating the speed control. The thermal cutoff is switching the motor
off.
2. The motor may be damaged (bent shaft, tight bearing or shorted winding)
causing high current draw.
3. The ESC may need more cooling air flowing over it.
Problem: Motor runs backwards.
1. The ESC is wired to the motor backwards.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
Please Note: ESCs that operate normally when received will be charged a
minimum service fee and return shipping charges. Before sending your ESC
in for service, it is important that you review the Trouble-Shooting Guide on
this instruction sheet. The ESC may appear to have failed when other
problems exist in the system — such as a defective transmitter, receiver or
servo, or incorrect adjustments/installation.
G Hobby dealers are not authorized to replace ESCs thought to be defective.
G Do not cut the input wires or switch harness of the ESC before sending it
for service. A fee will be charged for cut wires which must be replaced for
testing.
180 DAY LIMITED WARRANTY
