(ESC) Operating instructions for the RC-Setup
Contents
1. Hint The beep starts always with the current setting This gives a way to readback the ESC settings After the setting of any of these parameters moving the stick back to neutral position will arm the ESC Alternatively the ESC can be disconnected and reconnected to allow the setting of other parameters2. YGE Brushless Electronic Speed Controllers ESC Operating instructions for the RC Setup Features 6 step adjustable timing or automatic timing adjustment Lipo Auto NiMh adjustable Adjustable brake Hardness and speed are proportional to the soft start Full utilization of stick range by programming in the RC Setup PWM switching rate of 8KHz 16KHz adjustable in 1KHz steps With the PWM switching rate applies as little as possible and as much as necessary Higher frequency for low inductive motors lower frequency for less switching losses Speed regulation with Pl controller Active free wheel Can be disabled with ProgCard II Active free wheel reduces clearly the losses in the partial load range but can however lead in rare cases to problems In relation with speed regulation it can come to rougher transitions form part load to full load avoid therefore full power switching in speed controller mode RC Setup General beep sequences outside of the RC Setup Constant monotonous beep signals the programming mode A descending beep sequence signals recognition of receiver signals A ascending beep sequence signals that the ESC is armed Caution Afterwards after active signaling other beeps are following to indicate the recognized or adjusted battery type The correct setting are particularly important with Lipos and BEC operation therefore an acoustic control takes place after every power on o

6. n steady operation Therefore this setting should be adjusted carefully Allow only as much speed as necessary A good average is to place the stick simply into the center For geared motors the stick should remain below the center This applies in particular to the soft start for helicopters Caution Heli Pilots For helicopters the best is to move the stick fully back neutral position It is important that for autorotations trainings the motor is not taken fully back to 0 Otherwise an extremely slow normal softstart takes place in the case of an autorotation abort which eventually may lead to a real inadvertent autorotation Thus the motor needs a certain remaining rpm so that the ESC isn t considering it as a fresh start One should select this remaining rpm low enough so that the helicopter cannot hover with it If it is too small the acceleration could lead to an overload of the motor Nevertheless the motor will engage only softly after an autorotation abort and not with full power Therefore an appropriate security flight level must be always kept Advanced Setup For the Advanced Setup the Basic Setup must have been performed at least once 1 Verify that the ESC is off switch on the transmitter with the throttle stick at full power 2 Hold the Model Connect the ESC gt a monotonous continuous beep should be heard 3 JIIISIIS after approximately 20 tones the advanced setup is activated as long as the basic setup has
