Important warnings

Pichler is not responsible for your use of this product, or any damage or injuries you may cause or sustain as a result of its usage.  Always place safety as priority when you use the product.
An electric motor that is connected in combination with a battery and/or ESC may start unexpectedly and cause serious damage and so should always be used with care and respect.
We recommend you always remove the propeller when working on a model with the power source connected.  Follow and observe all local laws and by-laws relating to model flying when flying RC planes.
Never fly over others or near crowds.

Wires  Connection: The speed controller can be connected to the motor by soldering directly or with high quality connectors. Always use new connectors, which should be soldered carefully to the cables and insulated with heat shrink tube. The maximum length of the battery pack wires shall be within 6 inches.
Solder controller to the motor wires.
Solder appropriate connectors to the battery wires.
Insulate all solder connectors with heat shrink tubes.
Plug the “JR” connector into the receiver throttle channel.
Controller Red and Black wires connects to battery pack Red and Black wires respectively

Throttle calibration

(Important: Please make the throttle calibration for the first time using ESC!!!)

Normal startup procedure

Programming items **(the option written in bold font is the default

setting) **

1. SMR Function: OFF /ON This function supports switching the motor rotation to decelerate when the airplane landing to the The factory default is OFF, the 1Pin signal wire is completely invalid at this time. If you need to turn it on, using Phone App or transmitter to program it “ON”, plug the 3Pin signal wire into the throttle channel, and plug the 1Pin signal wire into any 2-stage switch channel of the receiver, then turn on the transmitter 2-stage switch. The SMR function is turned on now, you can change the forward and reverse directions of the motor by flipping the 2-stage switch of the transmitter.
   Warning: This function can only be effective when the throttle is below 50%, and it is only allowed to be used when the airplane is landing on the ground, otherwise it may cause the ESC to burn!

2. Brake Type: OFF /Soft/Mid/Hard

3. Timing: Auto /Low/Mid/High(5°/15°/25°)

4. Motor Rotation: CW /CCW

5. SR function: ON/ OFF The synchronous rectification function makes ESC with higher driving efficiency and more energy-saving.

6. Battery cells: Auto /2S/3S/4S

7. Low Voltage Cutoff    Threshold:    OFF/NIMH50%/NIMH60%/ 0V /3.2V/3.4V/3.6V For example: using 3 lithium batteries and setting 3.0V as the low voltage cutoff value, then the low voltage protection threshold is: 3*3.0 = 9.0V

8. Low Voltage Cutoff Type: Reduce Power /Cut Off Power
   Reduced power: When the voltage drops to the set low-voltage protection threshold, the ESC will reduce power to 70%. Cut Off power: When the voltage drops to the set low-voltage protection threshold, the ESC will cut off the power immediately.

9. BEC: 6V/3A

10. Acceleration: Normal /Soft

 Protection function

1. Start-up protection: If the motor fails to start normally within 2 seconds after pushing the throttle to start, the ESC will cut off the output power, and you need to make the throttle calibration again, then ESC can be Possible reasons: disconnection or poor connection between ESC and motor, the propeller or motor is blocked by other objects, the gearbox is damaged, etc.)
2. Over-heat protection: When the temperature of the ESC is over about 110℃, the ESC will automatically reduce the output power for protection, but will not fully shut down the power, reduce it to 70% of the full power at most to ensure the motor has enough power to avoid crashes.
3. Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will reduce the output power if throttle signal is lost for 1 second, will cut off output to the motor if the throttle signal is lost over 2 If the throttle signal recovers during power down, the ESC will immediately resume throttle control. In this way, the ESC will not protect when the signal loss less than 2 seconds, only when the signal lost is over 2 seconds or longer time. And the ESC will reduce the output power gradually instead of cutting off it immediately, so the player has certain amount of time to save the plane, taking into account safety and practicality.
4. Over load protection: The ESC will cut off power or restart automatically when the load increased a lot suddenly, possible reason is the motor blocked.

Trouble shooting ****

After powering up, ESC

emits the sound of battery cells, but motor can’t run.

| ESC doesn’t set throttle range.| Set throttle range again.
After powering up, motor doesn’t run and doesn’t emit any sound.| 1. Bad connection between ESC and battery.

2. Bad soldering cause bad contact.

3. Low voltage of the battery.

4. Quality problem of ESC.

| 1. Clean the connectors or replace them, check the connection polarity.

2. Solder the wires again.

3. Check battery pack, use full-charged battery.

4. Change ESC.

Motor does n’t work and no audible tone emitted after connecting the battery. Servos are not working either.| 1. Poor/loose Connection between battery Pack and ESC.

2. No power

3. Poor soldered connections

4. Wrong battery cable polarity

5. ESC throttle cable connected to receiver in the reverse polarity

| Check all the connections make sure you are doing it right.
Motor does not work but servos do| 1. Poor / loose connection between ESC and motor

2. Burnt motor coils

3. The battery pack voltage exceeds the acceptable range.

4. Throttle stick is not at the lowest position

5. The ESC throttle calibration has not set up

| 1. Check all the connections make sure you are doing it right.

2. Change a new motor.

3. Solder the wires again.

4. Check the battery pack, use full-charged battery.

5. Set throttle range again.

When the ESC is powered on, the motor does not work and an alarm sound (continuously beeping)

will sound.

| The throttle stick is not in the bottom position after power on.| Move the throttle stick to the bottom position.
Motor runs in reverse rotation| Wrong cables polarity between the ESC and the motor.| Swap any two of the three cable connections between the ESC and the Motor or access the Motor Rotation function via the ESC programming mode and change

the pre-set parameters.

Motor stops running in flight.| Lost throttle signal| Check proper operation of the radio equipment. Check the placement of the ESC and the Receiver and

check the route of the receiver’s aerial and ESC
