Throttle Range Calibration
Set up the ESC at the Throttle Range Calibration for the debut.
For the first time using the transmitter or changing the transmitter you must set up Throttle Range Calibration.

Switch off the ESC, then connect ESC with the battery packs and turn on the transmitter; set the direction of the throttle channel to REV; set the EPA/ATV value of the throttle channel to 100%.
Hold the “Switch” button, Red and Blue LED are on solid, wait for about 2 seconds until the Red LED is off, then release the “Switch” button, pull the throttle trigger to full throttle until Red LED blinks and will be on Solid, the motor beeps.
Push the throttle trigger to Full Brake until the Blue LED blinks and will be on solid, the motor beeps.
Now return the throttle trigger to the Neutral position, both of the Red LED and Blue LED blink simultaneously and will be on solid, the motor beeps. The Throttle Range Calibration is confirmed.
Turn off the ESC power switch.
Turn the ESC back ON. You are ready to use the ESC now.

Using CR Program card (081459 optional)

The Program card with LED display is easy to use and convenient to carry. All of the programmable functions are shown on the program card.
Turn on the ESC. Remove the Signal wire and plug it into the top-socket on the Program card , wait for 2 seconds until the LED is ON. The first programmable function will be shown, if an error oc curs, please reconnect them
If ESC is not connected with the batteries, the Program card should be connected with other power supply, the range of power supply is within 5.0-6.3V.
Press the button “Menu” on the Program card and circularly select each programmable function. At that time the number of the programmable function will be displayed on the left of the LED, the current value will be displayed on the right side. Then press the button Value to change the value and press the button OK to confirm. At the same time the Red indicating LEDs of both program card and the ESC blink. Turn off the ESC, the modified settings will be saved in the ESC’s memory.

Programmable items and default settings (can only be changed with optionally available programming card 081459) Default settings are shown in the grey boxes

Using CR Program card (081459 optional)

Turn on the ESC. Remove the Signal wire and plug it into the topsocket on the Program card (6), wait for 2 seconds until the LED is ON. The first programmable function will be shown.
If ESC is not connected with the batteries, the Program card should be connected with other power supply, the range of power supply is within 5.0 – 6.3 V.
Press the button “Menu” (2) on the Program card and circularly select each programmable function. At that time the number of the programmable function will be displayed on the left of the LED, the current value will be displayed on the right side. Then press the button „Value“ (3) to change the value and press the button „OK“ (4) to confirm. At the same time the red indicating LEDs of both program card and the ESC blink. Turn off the ESC, the modified settings will be saved in the ESC’s memory.
Press the button „Reset“ (5) to restore the default settings.

Cutoff Voltage
Automatically detect the number of cells. According to the type of your batteries, set up the type of the batteries and Low Voltage Cutoff Threshold via PC software or program card. The ESC can detect the Voltage of the battery anytime and will stop working once the Voltage of the battery is lower than the preset Low Voltage Cutoff Threshold.
Running Mode

Forward w/o Reverse
This is a Race setting – Reverse is disabled. You will find in racing, most tracks will not allow racing with reverse enabled.
Forward with pause then Reverse (Default) General bashing around (FUN) or racing if the reverse is allowed for the event. The Electronic Speed Controller requires 2 seconds of continuous neutral from the transmitter prior to allowing the reverse to operate.

Note:
There is automatic protection within the ESC. Only after you have stopped and returned the trigger to neutral will reverse become available. If while traveling in reverse, pull the trigger to go forward. This is to help prevent serious damage to the drive train.

Forward / Reverse
If the option is activated, the RC car could go forward and backward, but couldn`t brake.

Motor Timing
This option affects the power band and efficiency (run time) of an electric motor. The default is “Normal” and is a good starting point to deliver power and provide good run time.

Very Low
Provides maximum efficiency with less power. Higher timing produces significantly more power but at the expense of efficiency (less run time) and typically the motor will generate more heat. Each brushless motor will respond to timing differences. Good for running around on paved, or harder surfaces, and racing with high KV-rated or low-turn motors
Low
Provides power for running through soft surfaces, having fun and having longer run time.
Normal (Default)
Good mix of power and efficiency using any motor
High More power than efficiency so run time will reduce, and you should be monitoring motor heat. The higher KV or lower turn motors will generate heat quickly using this setting. A safe high-temperature range is 165F to 180F (74° – 82°C), going higher may damage your motor.
Very high
This is maximum power and must be used with caution.

Note:
Any motor has the potential to overheat in this setting. Frequently check the motor temperature and make sure you’re not operating higher than 165° and 180° Fahrenheit (74°- 82° C), which may damage your motor, or damage your Electronic Speed Controller (ESC).

Initial Acceleration
Use this to limit the initial power that is sent to the motor when starting from a complete stop. Using the low option, the vehicle will launch very slowly and provide the longest run times. When using the HIGH choice, you will have wheel-spinning acceleration at the cost of run time. This is also very tough on the batteries as the amperage draw can be very high. If your vehicle cuts out, hesitates or loses radio control, you should consider setting this at a lower value.

Low
Using this option will provide longer run times and is easiest on the batteries. It is a good choice for beginners.
Medium
Medium requires more from your batteries, and is good for low traction surfaces.
High
This option will provide full acceleration and requires stout batteries to supply the load required in this setting.
Very high
This option will provide full acceleration and requires stout batteries to supply the load required in this setting.

Throttle Percent Reverse
Use this to limit the power available using reverse throttle. The lower the percent or level the less speed will be available in reverse. 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% ( Default), 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%
Throttle Limit
The lower the percent the less forward throttle speed will be available.0%(Default), 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%
Percentage Braking
Gives you the ability to have full control over the amount of brake your vehicle will have. 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% (Default), 60%, 70%, 80%, 100%

Percentage Drag Brake
0% (Default), 4%, 8%, 12%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% The drag brake function provides the driver a set percentage of brake when you have the transmitter resting in neutral. This will create the “feel” of a brushed motor. Drag brake are used in racing to slow a vehicle as you let off approaching a corner versus the driver having to push the brake at every corner. Try working with this to get a sense of how you might use this for your track. If you are running on a high traction track with tight corners, a stronger setting should work best. If you are running in an open area, you will find a smaller percentage will result in better control. If you are running in dusty or slippery surfaces, you will more than likely want to use the lowest option.

Motor Rotation
Normal (default), Reverse

Neutral Range
This setting adjusts the amount of “Deadband” off neutral on the throttle trigger. This is in Milli-Seconds (MS) and is the amount of neutral when you pull the trigger. The smaller the value the less “Deadband” or movement is required off-center for the ESC to begin throttle functions. Using a higher value for this setting will provide a wider Deadband.

Safety and operating instructions

When connecting an electric motor can cause the unwanted starting of the engine. Moreover, is it possible that electric motors with connected power pack can start suddenly because of mechanical or technical defects. This may cause serious injury. Because of that it is not allowed that someone is in the near of the dangerous area around the rotating parts. Take care that no objects can come in contact with the rotating components of the power drive. High current can heat up battery, cables and connectors. There may be fire or burns to the skin.Always use a battery pack to operate the speed controller, never use a wall power supply. Protect the controller against vibration, dust, moisture and mechanical stress. It neither cold nor excessive heat from. Consider the specifications of the manufacturer of the used Batteries. Check the controller at regular intervals for damage. At theregulator may no changes are made. This also applies to the battery cable, which may in no case extend. The battery of the controller ports are not protected against reverse polarity. If the battery connections are reversed, the controller may be damaged beyond repair. The connecting cables are color coded. Connect the red to the positive terminal and the black to the negative terminal of the battery. If the motor runs, it can by swapping two motor connections, the direction is changed. Never reverse the battery connections, leading to the destruction of the controller.

For the operation of the controller, observe the following safety instructions:

Only batteries within the limits of the technical data of the speed controller. Please note the dates of the corresponding chapter of this manual.
Let the controller after use cool well before you start again.
Remove the battery from the aircraft after each use .
Turn necessarily on the transmitter first and then the receiver. For turn off you go in reverse order.
Use only high quality cables and connectors.
Ensure good cooling of the regulator, wrap it in no way a foam rubber or the like. The attached heat sink must be absolutely free and are circulated well in air.

Disposal restrictions
Electrical appliances must not be disposed of in domestic waste and must be disposed of separately. You are obliged to take out the batteries, if possible, and to dispose of the electrical equipment at the communal collection points. Should personal data be stored on the electrical appliance you must remove them by yourself.
