GLOBACT GT10 120A Brushless Sensorless ESC User Manual

1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing the GLOBACT GT10 120A Brushless Sensorless Electronic Speed Controller (ESC). This ESC is designed for 1/10 scale RC trucks, offering reliable performance and advanced features. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation to ensure proper use and maximize the lifespan of your product.

2. Safety Precautions

• Always disconnect the battery from the ESC when not in use to prevent accidental activation.
• Ensure all connections are secure and correctly polarized before powering on the system. Incorrect connections can cause damage.
• Keep the ESC away from water and moisture unless specifically designed for waterproof operation. This model features an IP67 waterproof rating, but proper care is still recommended.
• Avoid operating the ESC in extreme temperatures.
• Do not modify the ESC or its components. Unauthorized modifications can lead to malfunction and void the warranty.
• Always use appropriate battery types and voltages as specified in the product specifications.

3. Product Features

6. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to correctly install and connect your GLOBACT GT10 120A ESC:

1. Mounting the ESC: Securely mount the ESC in your RC vehicle using double-sided tape or screws, ensuring good airflow around the cooling fan.
2. Motor Connection: Connect the three motor wires from the ESC to your brushless motor. For sensorless motors, the order of connection typically does not matter for initial setup, but if the motor spins in the wrong direction, swap any two of the three wires.
3. Battery Connection: Connect the battery connector (typically XT60 or similar) from the ESC to your LiPo battery. Ensure correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative).
4. Receiver Connection: Plug the throttle wire (usually a three-wire servo connector: Red for BEC+, Black for BEC-, White for throttle signal) from the ESC into the throttle channel (CH2) of your RC receiver.
5. Switch Connection: Connect the power switch to the designated port on the ESC.

7. Operating Instructions

7.1 Initial Power-Up and Calibration

1. Ensure your transmitter is turned on and the throttle trim is set to neutral.
2. Connect the battery to the ESC.
3. Turn on the ESC using its power switch. The ESC will emit a series of beeps indicating battery cell count.
4. Perform throttle range calibration according to your transmitter's manual and the ESC's specific calibration sequence (refer to the manufacturer's website or app for detailed steps if not provided here). This typically involves holding full throttle, powering on, then moving to full brake, then neutral.

7.2 Using the Bluetooth App

The GLOBACT GT10 ESC features a built-in Bluetooth module for convenient parameter adjustment via a mobile application. Download the official GLOBACT app from your device's app store.

1. Ensure the ESC is powered on.
2. Open the GLOBACT app on your smartphone or tablet.
3. Follow the in-app instructions to connect to your ESC via Bluetooth.
4. Once connected, you can adjust various parameters such as BEC voltage (6.0V/7.4V), throttle curves, braking force, and protection settings.
5. Save your changes to the ESC after making adjustments.

7.3 General Operation

After successful setup and calibration, you can operate your RC vehicle. Always start with gentle throttle inputs to confirm correct motor direction and response. Monitor the ESC and motor temperatures during initial runs.

8. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ESC:

• Cleaning: Despite its IP67 rating, it is recommended to clean the ESC after use, especially if exposed to dirt, mud, or saltwater. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
• Inspecting Connections: Periodically check all wire connections for signs of wear, corrosion, or looseness. Ensure bullet connectors are clean and tight.
• Fan Check: Ensure the cooling fan is free from obstructions and spins freely. Clean any dust or debris from the fan blades and heatsink.
• Storage: Store the ESC in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
