1. YGE 18 and 30A electronic speed controller ESC Operating instructions and data sheet Technical data The specified current is the maximum continuous full power current with adequate cooling 2 to 4s LiPo with under voltage protection by power reduction 6 to 12 cells NiMH with under voltage protection by power reduction disconnectable under voltage detection switching BEC 5 5V 2A continuous 4A peak Speed regulation Governor mode Soft start Active free wheel allowing unlimited part load operation Automatic or 6 step adjustable timing 5 steps adjustable regular back EMF brake Switching rate 8 to 16 kHz Speed limit 240 000 RPM 2 Pole motors Temperature and overload warning Overall dimensions 42 x 24 x 6 mm Weight without wires 11g with wires 18A 14g 30A 21g Programming with the ProgCard II Initial setup After connecting the battery you hear 3 descending tones Subsequently follows a number of beeps according to the cell number of the connected Lipo battery In case the transmitter stick is in throttle off you hear now 3 ascending tones You need to connect the motor to hear the beeps as it is the motor itself which acts as a speaker The YGE is ready for use If the motor turns in the wrong direction exchange simply 2 of the 3 motor wires The entire wire length from the controller to the battery may not exceed 15cm If longer wires are n2. arranty on this speed regulator Any other requirements are excluded That applies in particular to requirements for damage or injuries compensation due to malfunction or failure For damages to property or personal injuries and their consequences which developed from our supply or craftsmanship we do not take any liability since we have no control on handling ce
3. eated temperature warnings better cooling should be provided or current should be reduced These warnings are to be regarded as overload warnings and not as normal operating condition Because at high temperature the components are strongly stressed this leads to a decreased life time You achieve a better cooling not only through sufficiently dimensioned air intake but even more efficiently through a larger air outtake in order to avoid a heat accumulation You achieve smaller currents by using a smaller propeller or a one cell smaller battery BEC If you want to use an additional receiver battery the red wire of the BEC connector needs to be disconnected If you want to use a buffer battery insert a 3A schottky diode on the red wire with the cathode going to the receiver The buffer battery avoids tension drops on hard servo maneuvers protecting the receiver s functionality Two or more ESCs can be connected to a single receiver if each BEC is fitted with a diode as described above A configuration without BEC and with galvanic separation is also possible For that please use our opto coupler module Active free wheel The unlimited partial load capability refers to the respective maximum full power current of the 18 and 30A ESC types Caution Fundamentally it is important to make sure that no objects are within the propeller circle when batteries are connected The use of this speed controller is therefore allowed o
4. ecessary a Low ESR switching capacitor of 330uF 25V should be soldered between plus and minus wires every 20cm likewise the motor wires can be extended Then please twist the 3 lines in order to minimize interference emission Note Inverting the Battery polarity leads to heavy damage and to the loss of warranty General Settings The speed controller has a fixed throttle curve setting so that with all usual transmitters the stop and full power points are linearly connected With all programmable transmitters the throttle range should be set to default 100 the center point set to zero and throttle trim enabled Nevertheless with some transmitter types the range needs to be adjusted For that the throttle endpoints have to be set so that one notch before lowest stick position the motor is stopped and that one notch before full power the motor is actually at full power Full power is indicated by the LED that is completely turned off On delivery the Timing is adjusted to 18 brake is switched on middle and the under voltage recognition adjusted to Lipo mode 3 0 V If during spin up rpm variations wowing or erratic sound are experienced the timing must be increased If no improvement can be obtained at 30 then the motor is overloaded Here a smaller propeller a one cell smaller battery or a stronger motor will help If after motor stop you hear 2 beeps repeating it means that the battery voltage dropped down below
5. le curve will then correspond to the controller throttle from 0 to 100 Please refer also to ProgCard or RC Setup manual When activating one of the governor modes all relevant heli parameters are set to default This default will fit nearly all setups You don t need to program further at a first step Here a listing of the default settings Timing 18 Brake off Act Freew on P Gain 0 9 Gain 0 05 Startup Speed Heli middle PWM Frequency 8 kHz Startup Power Auto 1 32 You should modify these parameters only if you don t get the desired success and if you are sure off all other components Lipo protection under voltage protection Because of the tension driven load adjustment it is possible to fly further with low power since the battery recovers with smaller load However if the tension continues to break in the motor is switched off Temperature overload warning If the speed controller s temperature exceeds its limit because of overloading or lack of cooling after landing and or motor stop a warning signal is issued 3 Beeps in the interval But the motor is not switched off in flight unless the temperature becomes extremely critical then the motor switched off The partial load operation between half and nearly full power is the most difficult area for an ESC In addition the running time becomes longer and longer with the Lipo technology If it should come to rep
6. nly in situations where damages and personal injuries are impossible A damaged governor e g broken damaged by polarity inversion or humidity must not be reused under any circumstances Otherwise it can come to a later malfunctions or failures The ESC may only be powered from batteries a use from power supplies is not allowed Trouble shooting 1 Beeps flashes stick position and or speed for Gov Store not taught correctly 2 Beeps flashes Under voltage identification 3 Beeps flashes Temperature rise warning 5 Beeps flashes Receiver signals failed 6 Beeps flashes start up failed The ESC signals any error that happened during flight acoustically motor and optically with a blinking LED code Errors 2 and 3 are signaled after motor stop but aren t stored as long as the ESC didn t cut off completely low voltage temperature warning In case the error led to a complete cut off then it is not cleared by a tension RESET The deletion can take place only on purpose by connecting the battery with the stick at full power and or with 100 throttle pre selection throttle curve and disconnecting it again after the interval beep Please you leave the stick at full power while disconnecting otherwise you activate the RC Setup Likewise the errors can be cleared by activating the ProgCard With an activated brake the error is only signaled after a tension reset or in wind milling position Warranty We give 6 months w
7. the setting value Eventually try a cutoff voltage of 2 9V per cell If there is still no improvement then the battery is discharged or too weak the wires are too long or to small or a connector is out of order With an active brake you can hear these warning tones only in windmill position This is the small range on the throttle stick between brake and motor start You can reach this position with 2 notches or with a high trim anda short gas start If no automatic timing is wished it can be adjusted according to the following guideline Innrunner 0 to 12 Outrunner 18 to 30 If your motor manufacturer indicates a timing recommendation it is of course preferable to use it Basic rule the higher the timing the higher the full power rpm The easiest to make these changes is the ProgCard Il There is also the possibility to perform the setup with the transmitter however it will not be explained here You will find it in the RC setup manual under www yge de in the Download area In case you get inadvertently in the programming mode during a normal start up throttle stick at full power simply disconnect the battery lower the stick to stop and connect the battery again Thus you won t modify the adjustments Helicopter settings For helicopters in governor mode the full throttle range 100 must be calibrated once For some transmitters this range is indicated in the helicopter menu throttle curve 0 100 This thrott
