Match the label of the ESC Output (A, B, C) to the tab labels on the motor when soldering. Avoid soldering each joint for longer than 5 seconds. Before the operation, make sure you have not created a short by either creating a wire bridge or solder bridge on the solder tabs on the motor. (WARNING! Improper wiring may damage the ESC and void the warranty.)
- Connect the sensor cable between the ESC sensor plug and the motor sensor plug.

Operation Instructions:
Getting started:
Turn on the on/off switch, the screen will display: ORCA TOTEM 1: Program
Radio & Esc setup:
Transmitter Settings:
- Throttle Travel Maximum / 100%
- Brake Travel Maximum / 100%

- Bind your receiver and transmitter first if your radio requires you to do so.
- Turn on the transmitter and hold the throttle at full brake position.
- Turn on ESC and listen for 2 beeps.
- After you hear the 2 beeps, apply full throttle and listen for another 2 beeps.
- Once you hear the 2 beeps, release the throttle to the neutral position.
- A beep will then sound, signifying that the ESC endpoints have been successfully set.
Note: If you do not hear the beeping sound as described above, try reversing the throttle reverse setting in the transmitter.

Customizing the Esc
Due to the different requirements of each style and class of racing, it is
important to customize your ESC for each use case. Customization of the ESC is
done using the Program Card (Sold Separately):
To begin, connect the battery wires to a charged battery, then connect the
supplied 4-pin wire (200mm) to the ESC setting port (4-pin port) and Program
Card. Turn on the ESC and the Program Card will activate automatically. Note
that the screen will show “Loading…” during initialization -indicating that
the ESC is copying the current setup in the ESC to the Program Card. Once
loading is completed, the screen will show “ORCA TOTEM” and ” 1. Program”. You
can now begin programming your ESC.
Press “Enter” to access Program Mode.
TIPS! Whenever in doubt, double-check your ESC setting by initializing the Program Card again and checking each menu setting. Navigation around the Program Menu is done using the 4 buttons on the right-hand side of the Program Card. The function of each button varies depending on which screen the display is showing:
Select” button————————go to next select
P r e s s a n d H o l d “Select” button two-second ——-go to the back page
- button – Scroll up
- “ ” button – Scroll down
- Enter” button – Send Changes from Program Card to the ESC and overwrite old data in the ESC
NOTE! The Program Card is not included and is sold separately.
The Program Card will compare the Parameters within the card and ESC before
sending. If changes are detected, you will hear a series of beeps and the
Program Card will display:
TIPS! Do not worry about making mistakes. You will not damage the ESC
during setting.
If in doubt, you can always reload the default setup and start over again.
Operation
Getting started
Turn on the on/off switch, the screen will display:
- Use the” button and “ ” button to find [Program], [Data Record] or [Update].
- Press the” ” button to choose. Each mode presented is independent of the other and will require setup.
Press the “SELECT” button for 2 seconds to go back to the previous screen.
A+B-C must match the initial setup or match your programming setup.(WARNING! Improper configuration may damage the ESC.)
- Program
Enter direct go to the setup page
Use the “SELECT” button go to the next setup item “2:BatteryCutOff” or “3:Punch or 4-10.
Data Record
Double press the “Enter” button to clear the data, otherwise Min and Max data will remain Forever.
Update
Updating of ESC Firmware:
- Scroll to the “Update” menu and press “Enter”. This will show the current ESC Firmware Version.
- Press “Enter” again to access the SD cards FIRMWARE folder. Select the firmware Version that you would like to use to update the ESC. Press”Enter” again and the update will commence (It will take around 1 minute to complete the update).
Updating of Program Card Firmware:
- Depress and hold the Program card “Enter” button while turning on the ESC. It will display the current Program card firmware Version.
- Press “Enter” again to access the SD cards Firmware folder. Select the Firmware Version that you would like to use to update the Program Card. Press “Enter” again and the update will commence (It will take around 1 minute to complete the update).
Preparing the SD card for use:
Format a microSD card using FAT32 file structure using a personal computer. If
you are using a Micro SD Card larger than 32GB, you will need to use a 3rd
party SW Package to do this. Create a new folder called “FIRMWARE”. Download
the latest firmware from
www.orcarc.com/firmware/ and copy the file
to the “Firmware” folder on the Micro SD card. Once completed, install the
MicroSD card into the microSD card slot of the Program Card. Both the Program
Card and ESC Firmware Files need to be copied into the “Firmware” Folder. A
maximum of 10 of each ESC/Program card firmware can be present in the folder
at any one time.
Operating Tips
Multi-Protection System — In addition to the Low Voltage and Overheat Protection that was described above, the ESC is protected in 2 more ways. ESC auto temperature protect
-
The ESC will auto-down power to 50% when the ESC temperature is over 125F degree
Motor Lock Protection: -
The motor does not have temperature protection in this ESC but the ESC is protected against damage when the motor is stuck and does not turn at all. Power will not be applied in this situation.
-
CAUTION! Since the ESC relies on the feedback of the 3 motor wires to deploy this protection, it ONLY works if the motor does not turn AT ALL. If the rotor has any rotation, the ESC will consider the motor to be operational and the power to the motor will not be cut off.
Fail Signal Protection:
- In case the radio signal to the ESC is interrupted for over 1 second during a run, the ESC will cut off until the signal resumes.
Misc. Tips:
- Connect the ESC to the battery pack only when you are ready to run. This will avoid draining the battery pack. Always disconnect the battery after your run.
- A tiny spark may occur when the battery is initially connected to the ESC. This is normal and is due to the charging of the capacitors.

Detailed Explanation of each Function item:
-
Running Mode
- Forward/Brake——-This function car will not have a reversed function, Just forward and brake.
- Forward/Rev——— In This function the car will reverse immediately when the throttle brakes the car.
- Forward/Brk/Rev— Set this function the first touch of the throttle brake the car will have brake function, and if you release to the center position after brake and continue brake again the reverse function will appear.

- Lipolymer Middle ——Lipo cut off at 3.2V/cell
- Lipolymer High———Lipo cut off at 3.4V/cell
-
Punch
- Allows you to change the punch of the ESC (Level 1 to Level 5):
- Level 1 has the least punch and Level 5 has the highest punch.
- Adjust punch level to maximize acceleration speed with minimum wheel spin.
-
Punch
- Allows you to change the punch of the ESC (Level 1 to Level 5):
- Level 1 has the least punch and Level 5 has the highest punch.
- Adjust punch level to maximize acceleration speed with minimum wheel spin.
-
Drag Brake
Set the automatic brake force applied when the throttle returns to the neutral position (10 steps from Off to 100%): * 70%, 85%, and 100% Drag Brake recommended used in Crawl only. -
Max Brake Force
Control the Maximum Brake power when you full braking -
Brake Punch
When you set Punch 5, the brake time will follow your throttle brake simple and direct, if you used Punch 1-4 the brake feeling has something ABS, get more smooth. -
Brake PWM(Brake Freq)
- Brake PWM operates similarly to PWM except it affects the braking instead of the throttle (6 steps from 400hz to 4khz)
- At 400 Hz, the Drag brake and the Brake force will feel the punchiest.
- At 4k Hz, the Drag brake and the Brake will feel smooth.
-
Max Reverse Force
Control the Maximum Reverse power when you Reverse the car. -
Neutral Range
Set the sensitive relay to your throttle feeling, normally set in “6%”. -
BEC Voltage
Set the voltage 6V or 7V supply for the receiver, this is relay to your serval action feeling, normally set in “6V”. -
Motor Action
Set the motor to rotate direction, normally set in “CCW”. -
PRM Limit
This function will limit your motor RPM maximum up to 17500rpm when using the 2-polar motor, normally set in “Disabled”.
