3. Install Pinion Gear: Attach the appropriate pinion gear to the motor shaft. Ensure the gear mesh with the spur gear is correct to prevent premature wear and damage.
4. Connect to Receiver: Plug the signal wire from the Unity PRO ESC into the throttle channel of your RC receiver.
5. Connect Power Switch: Connect the separate power switch to the designated port on the ESC. Position the switch in an easily accessible location on your vehicle.
6. Connect Battery: Connect your battery to the power input leads of the ESC. Ensure correct polarity. The system supports various battery types; refer to specifications for voltage limits.
7. BEC Voltage Setting: The integrated 5A BEC can be configured for 5.5V, 7.4V, or 8.4V output. Adjust this setting via the Furicar mobile app to match the voltage requirements of your servos and other accessories.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, follow these steps to operate your Unity PRO system:

1. Power On: Ensure your transmitter is turned on first. Then, activate the separate power switch on your RC vehicle to power on the Unity PRO system.
2. Calibration: Perform throttle calibration according to your transmitter's instructions and the ESC's manual (if specific steps are required beyond standard setup). This ensures proper synchronization between your transmitter and the ESC.
3. Initial Run: Begin with slow, controlled movements to verify all functions are operating correctly. The FOC technology provides smooth, precise throttle control.
4. Mobile App Tuning: For advanced tuning and real-time telemetry, download the Furicar app from your device's app store. Connect to the Unity PRO system (a repeater module may be necessary for some features) to adjust parameters such as throttle curves, drag brake, and more.
   • Download the Furicar App for Android or search for "Furicar" on the iOS App Store.
   • Follow the in-app instructions for connecting to your device.
5. Power Off: Always turn off the RC vehicle's power switch first, then turn off your transmitter.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Unity PRO system:

• Cleaning: Despite its waterproof and dustproof design, periodically clean the exterior of the motor and ESC to remove accumulated dirt and debris. Use a soft brush or compressed air. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
• Inspections: Regularly inspect all wiring and connectors for signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Ensure the motor is securely mounted.
• Firmware Updates: Take advantage of the free lifetime firmware updates. Check the Furitek website or the Furicar app periodically for new firmware releases. Updating firmware can improve performance, add features, and resolve issues.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the system in a cool, dry place, disconnected from the battery.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Unity PRO system, consider the following:

• No Power:
  • Check battery connection and charge level.
  • Ensure the power switch is fully engaged.
  • Verify all wiring connections are secure.
• Motor Not Responding/Erratic Behavior:
  • Re-calibrate the ESC with your transmitter.
  • Check the signal wire connection to the receiver.
  • Ensure the motor shaft is not obstructed and the pinion gear is free.
  • Inspect for any physical damage to the motor or ESC.
• Overheating:
  • Verify proper gear mesh.
  • Ensure adequate airflow around the motor/ESC unit.
  • Check for excessive load on the motor (e.g., binding drivetrain).
• App Connectivity Issues:
  • Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
  • Verify the repeater module (if used) is correctly connected and powered.
  • Restart the app and the Unity PRO system.
