System Functions

This section focuses on the functions and how to use them.
1、Channel Description

1. 1. CH1：Steering Wheel 2.
2. CH2：Throttle Trigger
3. CH3：Three-position Switch 4.
4. CH4：Reset Button

The transmitter outputs a total of 4 channels, which are allocated as follows:
Note: By default the output of CH4 is 1000us, after which pressing the button will toggle between 1000 and 2000us.

2、Channel Reverse
This function is used to adjust each channels direction of movement in relation to it’s input. The ST.REV / TH.REV switches are the reverse buttons for CH1 and CH2. If the switch is up it indicates reverse, and the down indicates normal.

3、Trims
For multiplexing switching mode, see [5.5 Mode Switching].TH.TRIMis the trims for CH2(throttle).

• Adjustment range: -120us- + 120us, each step is 4us;
• ST.TRIM + / TH.TRIM +: increase adjustment step;
• ST.TRIM- / TH.TRIM-: Decrease adjustment step.
• The ST.TRIM is the trims for CH1 (steering),and can be multiplexed as Trims of CH3 and CH4.

LED Indicator:
When using the trim keys the G.LED will flash slowly on short presses and quickly on long presses. When the fine adjustment value is at the midpoint, the G.LED will flash twice slowly. When the fine adjustment value is at both ends (+ 120us / -120us), the trim adjustment is at its maximum and as such G.LED will not flash(if the fine adjustment value has been adjusted to + 120us, then press ST.TRIM + / TH.TRIM + key is invalid and G.LED has Instructions)

4、D/R
Adjustment range: 0-120%(the default is 100%), the step is 5%.

• ST.D / R +: increase servo travel;
• ST.D / R -: decrease servo travel.
• ST.D / R is for servo travel adjustment, which can be multiplexed as CH2 (throttle), CH3, CH4 servo travel adjustment, see [5.5 Mode Switch] for multiplex switching mode;

LED Indicator:
When using the trim keys the G.LED will flash slowly on short presses and quickly on long presses. When the ratio value is at both ends (0/120%), the ST.D / R button is at its maximum and as such G.LED will not flash (if the ratio value has been adjusted to 120%, then press ST.D/R+ key is invalid and G.LED has Instructions)
5、Mode switching

• Mode 1: G.LED flashes slowly once, ST.TRIM is CH1 fine adjustment, ST.D / R is servo travel adjustment.
• Mode 2: G.LED flashes twice slowly, ST.TRIM is CH1 fine adjustment, ST.D / R is CH2 servo travel adjustment.
• Mode 3: G.LED flashes three times slowly, ST.TRIM is CH3 fine adjustment, ST.D / R is CH3 servo travel adjustment.
• Mode 4: G.LED flashes slowly four times, ST.TRIM is CH4 fine adjustment, ST.D / R is CH4 servo travel adjustment.
  This function is for reusing the ST.TRIM and ST.D / R buttons for different channels (see [5.3Trims], [5.4 D/R).

Function setting

Under normal power-on, quickly press the Bind button twice (within 1 Sec) to cycle through modes 1, 2, 3, and 4. The default setting when powering on is mode 1.
Setup:

1.  Turn on the transmitter and make sure it is connected to the receiver.
2.  Hold the control surface at the desired failsafe position.
3.  Press and hold the bind button for 3 seconds, if the G.LED starts flashing every 2 seconds then setup has been successful.

6、Failsafe
This function dictates what the receiver will do in the event that it loses signal from the transmitter, this includes servo position etc. Failsafe is now set and will default to these values when the receiver looses signal.
Setup:
To switch between beginner and normal modes press and hold the channel 4 button as the transmitter is turned on.

7、Beginner Mode
Beginner mode is designed for people new to the hobby.In this mode the throttle will be limited to 50 percent, The channel range defaults to 1250~1500~1750us.
Note： By default, the system is set to normal mode. The GLED will flash slowly for 3 seconds during power on if the system is set to beginner mode.

ESC setup

Attention: The incorrect polarity will damage the ESC immediately.

1. Connect the ESC, motor, receiver, battery and servo according to the following diagram

Ensure that the + and – wires of the ESC are connected to the battery pack. The control cable of the ESC is connected to the throttle channel of the ESC (Usually CH2). The motor + and motor – cables are connected to the motor in any order, if the motor runs in reverse, reverse the cables..

2. Set the Transmitter

Please set the “D/R”, “EPA” and “ATL” to 100% for the throttle channel (for transmitter without LCD, please turn the knobs to the maximum value), and set the “TRIM” of the throttle channel to 0 (for transmitter without LCD, please turn the TRIM knob to its neutral position). For Futaba TM and the similar transmitters, the direction of the throttle channel shall be set to “REV”, while other radio systems shall be set to “NOR”. The “Fail Save” function of the radio system is strongly recommended to be activated. Please make sure that the motor can be stopped when the “Fail Save” happens.

3. Throttle Range Setting (Throttle Range Calibration)

In order to make the ESC match the throttle range of different transmitters, the calibration of the ESC is necessary. To calibrate the ESC, please turn on the transmitter, keep the throttle stick at its neutral position, wait for 3 seconds to let the ESC execute self-test and automatic throttle calibration. When the ESC is ready to run, a long beep sound is emitted from the motor.

Note: Please calibrate the throttle range again when using a new transmitter or changing the settings of the neutral position of throttle channel, D/R, ATV, ATL or EPA parameters, otherwise the ESC may not work properly.

Audible warnings and LED status

Beep meaning

• 1 short beep: The battery is NiMH/NiCd
• 2 short beeps: The battery is 2S Lipo
• 3 short beeps: The battery is 3S Lipo
• 4 short beeps: The battery is 4S Lipo
• 1 long beep: Self-test and throttle calibration is OK, the ESC is ready to run

LED Status

• When the throttle stick is in neutral range, red LED is off
• Forward, brake or reverse at partial throttle, red LED blinks
• Forward, brake or reverse at full throttle, red LED is solid

Throttle stick position

Set the ESC

1.  The ESC is programmed by the jumpers (Tweezers are is recommended to plug and unplug the jumper).

Protection functions

1.  Low Voltage Cut-off (LVC) protection: If the voltage of the battery pack is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the ESC will enter the protection mode. When the car stops, the red LED blinks to indicate the low voltage cut-off protection has been activated. Table A: LVC protection for WP-1060-BRUSHED
   2S Lipo Output reduces 50% at 6.5V Output cuts off at 6.0V, and cannot be recovered.
   3S Lipo Output reduces 50% at 9.75V Output cuts off at 9.0V, and cannot be recovered.

2. Over-heat protection: When the internal temperature of the ESC is higher than 100 Celsius degrees or 212 Fahrenheit degrees for 5 seconds, the ESC will reduce and cut off the output power. When the car stops, the red LED blinks to indicate the over-heat protection has been activated. If the ESC cools down to 80 Celsius degrees (176 Fahrenheit degrees) the output power is recovered to its normal state.

3. Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will cut off the output power if the throttle signal has been lost for 0.1 seconds. The “Fail Save” function of the radio system is strongly recommended to be activated.
