SPECIFICATIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
This product is a sophisticated hobby product and not a toy. It must be operated with caution and common sense and requires some basic mechanical ability. Failure to operate this product in a safe and responsible manner could result in injury or damage to the product or property. This product is not intended to be used by children without direct adult supervision. It is essential to read and follow all instructions and warnings found in this manual prior to installation, set up, and use, for the product to operate properly and to avoid damage or injury.
WARNINGS
- Never let children use this product without the strict supervision of an adult.
- Always power ON your transmitter before the ESC and power OFF the ESC before the transmitter.
- Never leave the ESC unattended while powered ON.
- Always double-check that wires and connections are well insulated before connecting the ESC to the battery.
- Never apply reverse voltage. The ESC will be permanently damaged.
- Always remove the cooling fan from ESC before exposing the vehicle to water.
- Never allow the external temperature of the ESC to exceed 90°C/194°F. Higher temperatures may destroy the ESC and motor.
- Always use caution when handling your ESC as it may become extremely hot during use.
- Always unplug the battery and stop using the ESC if it begins to act abnormally.
- Always unplug the battery from the ESC when the vehicle is not in use. The ESC will continue to consume current even if the ESC is turned off which will completely discharge the battery resulting in permanent damage to the battery.
IMPORTANT
ESCs that display evidence of reverse voltage, failure to unplug the battery after use, or internal/external modifications to wiring are not covered under warranty.
INSTALLATION
- Mount your ESC and switch securely using high quality double-sided tape.
- Install your ESC in a position that allows easy access to all connectors.
- Plug the ESC’s receiver wire into the receiver (refer to radio manufacturer’s manual)
- Connect the three motor leads exiting the ESC to the three leads exiting your motor. If the motor runs backwards when giving it forward throttle, reverse any two motor leads. The motor will now run the desired direction.
- Plug the battery into the ESC, noting + and – connection to prevent reverse polarity.
- Always power ON your transmitter before the ESC and power OFF the ESC before the transmitter.
THROTTLE CALIBRATION
Each time you install a new ESC, a new transmitter, or after changing the neutral position, ATV or EPA parameters on your radio, the throttle range must be re-calibrated. The ESC will not work properly until it has been calibrated. ESCs that came installed in an RTR vehicle have already been calibrated and are ready to use.
- Set your radio’s throttle and brake EPNATV to 100% and your throttle trim to neutral, and then turn on your transmitter.
- Press and hold the SET button while powering ON the ESC. When the LED begins to flash and the motor beeps, release the SET button immediately. If the SET button is not released within three seconds, the ESC will enter Programming Mode and the process must be started again.
- With the throttle trigger at neutral, press the SET button to save the neutral position verified by one flash of the LED and one motor beep.
- Move the throttle trigger to the full throttle position and press the SET button to save the full throttle position verified by two flashes of the LED and two motor beeps.
- Move the throttle trigger to the maximum brake position and press the SET button to save the maximum brake position verified by three flashes of the LED and three motor beeps.
- Return the throttle trigger to the neutral position. The ESC will automatically exit the calibration procedure and the ESC is ready to use.
Move the throttle trigger to the neutral position and press the SET button.
Move the throttle trigger to the end position of forward and press the SET button.
Move the throttle trigger to the end position of backward and press the SET button. 
PROGRAMMABLE ITEMS
Default setting
- Running Mode
- Option 1: Forward/Brake – Reverse is disabled leaving only forward and brake functions typical for competition use.
- Option 2: Forward/Brake/Reverse – Reverse is enabled. To use reverse, push the trigger to the full brake position. When the vehicle is at a standstill, return the trigger to neutral, and then push the trigger towards brakes to move the vehicle in reverse.
- Drag Brake Force
Drag Brake is the automatic braking force generated by the motor when the throttle trigger is returned to neutral position. Drag brake will create heat so select the minimum value necessary. - Low Voltage Cutoff
Use to prevent excessive discharge of lithium batteries which can damage them permanently. The ESC monitors battery voltage continuously. If the voltage falls below the set threshold, power output will be reduced. After a few seconds, the power is completely cut off. When using NiMH batteries, it is recommended to set this parameter to “Disabled”. - Punch Control
Change throttle response depending on the vehicle be used and the surface being driven on. The lower this value, the slower the response. The higher this value, the faster the response. Determining the best setting results in better vehicle control when power is applied. - Max. Brake Force
Adjust the percentage of available braking power when full brake is applied. Higher values will shorten increase brake strength but can be hard on the vehicle’s gears. Only use as much as necessary to stop the vehicle in a safe fashion.
PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
- LiPo Low Voltage Cutoff Protection
If the voltate of the uput power als the WeD wil ink threshold for more than two seconds, the - Thermal Protection
If the temperature of the ESC exceeds the maximum threshold for more than five seconds, the ESC will cut off the output power and the LED will flash green. - Throttle Signal Loss Protection
If the throttle signal is lost for more than 0.2 seconds, the ESC will cut off the output power.
ESC PROGRAMMING
- Using the SET Button
- Using BL2 Programmer
The BL2 Programmer connects to the ESC via the fan port. While noting the proper polarity, first plug the included 3-pin cable into the programmer. Then connect the other end to the ESC fan port. Power ON the ESC and after a few seconds, the current ESC settings will be displayed. Use the “ITEM” button to scroll through the settings and use the “VALUE” button to change the setting. Once all selections have been made, press the “OK” button to save the new setting(s).
ALERTS
Abnormal Input Voltage
If the input voltage is below the normal range when powered ON, the ESC will emit a “beep-beep-” tone and flashing LED.
Abnormal Throttle Signal
When the ESC does not detect a normal throttle signal, the LED will flash quickly.
