Connecting the Electronic Speed Controller
Wiring Instructions:
- Motor Connection: Connect the ESC's three wires to the motor. If the motor runs in reverse, swap any two of the motor wires.
- Receiver Connection: Connect the ESC's throttle control wire (black, red, white) to the receiver's throttle channel.
- External Power Connection: Connect the ESC's external power wire (red) to the receiver's power input (if using the BEC function).
- Auxiliary Connection: Connect the ESC's auxiliary wire (white) to the receiver's AUX channel (for switching functions).
Diagram Description: The diagram shows the connections between the ESC, motor, receiver, battery, and power switch. The white, orange, and brown wires from the ESC connect to the receiver's throttle channel. The red wire from the ESC connects to the receiver's power input. The ESC itself connects to the battery via its power leads.
⚠️ Attention: For safety, ensure the vehicle is powered off before making any connections. Incorrect wiring may damage the ESC.
Setting the Electronic Speed Controller
1. Setting Throttle Travel
Follow these steps to set the throttle travel range:
- Turn off the ESC.
- Press and hold the SET button, then turn on the ESC. The LED will flash, indicating it has entered the parameter setting mode.
- Connect the battery.
- Move the transmitter's throttle stick to the neutral position. Press the SET button.
- Move the transmitter's throttle stick to the full throttle position. Press the SET button.
- Move the transmitter's throttle stick to the full brake position. Press the SET button.
- The ESC will emit two beeps, confirming that the throttle travel has been successfully set.
2. Power On/Off and Beep Description
Power On/Off: Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to turn the ESC on or off.
Beep Indications: Specific beeps and LED flashes indicate different states and settings. Refer to the parameter setting section for details.
3. Throttle Travel Setting
This section details setting the neutral, maximum forward, and maximum reverse points:
- Neutral Point: After entering the setting mode, move the throttle stick to the neutral position and press the SET button.
- Max. Forward Point: Move the throttle stick to the maximum forward position and press the SET button.
- Max. Reverse Point: Move the throttle stick to the maximum brake position and press the SET button.
The ESC will emit two beeps upon successful setting.
4. Parameter Setting via SET Button and LED
This section describes how to set various parameters using the SET button and LED indicators. The diagram illustrates the process.
General Procedure:
- Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to enter parameter setting mode. The LED will flash to indicate the current parameter.
- Press the SET button to cycle through the available parameters.
- Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to enter the value setting for the selected parameter. The LED will flash to indicate the current value.
- Press the SET button to cycle through the available values for the parameter.
- Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to confirm the selected value. The ESC will beep to confirm the setting.
