Programmable parameters project description

  1. Flight Mode

  2. Fixed-wing: Suitable for fixed-wing and multi-rotary aircraft. In this mode, the throttle has to be more than 5% (including S%) to start the motor and the throttle response is rapid;

  3. Helicopter (Linear Throttle ): 1.2S uitable for helicopter aircraft without any fixed speed equipment or helicopter aircraft using external speed control equipment. The throttle has to be higher than 5% (including 5%)
    before starting the motor. After the slow start is complete<I, the motor will start off in a smoother manner, followed by a faster throttle response accelerated to the current throttle value;

  4. Helicopter (Elf Governor): Suitable for helicopter aircraft flying at fixed speed. The throttle has to be higher than 40% (including 40%) before starting the motor. In the slOY,1 start process, the motor starts off in an
    ultra-smooth acceleration to compltrte the speed calibration;

  5. Helicopter (Store Governor): Suitable for the use of fixed speed flight helicopter aircraft. The throttle in this mode has to be more than 40% (including 40%) before starting the motor.
    Note: that speed calibration must be done each time other modes are switched to using this mode.

  6. LiPo Cells
    The number of battery cells can be calculated automatically and set manually. Select Auto-cakulation to calculate the number of battery cells. Error on battery cells will be detectable during self-test and can be adjusted accordingly;

  7. Voltage Cutoff Type

  8. Soft shutdown: The output power will be gradually reduced to 50% of the total power output after low voltage protection is triggered;

  9. Hard shutdown: Disconnect the power output immediately after low-current protection is triggered.

  10. Cutoff Voltage
    2.8V-3.8V with 0.1V step ;,just.ability. When using 6 lithium batteries, the fin;,I protection voltage should be set by x6. The default is 3.0V;

  11. BEC Voltage
    The ES[ is built-in with a BEC of S.4-8.4V and has the capability to adjust 0.1v per step. Default 6.0V:

  12. Start-up Time
    Adjust the response speed of the throttle in “helicopter elf fixed-speed” or “storage speed mode”. The higher the value, the slower the throttle response speed. 4-25 fully adjustable. Default is at 15;

  13. Governor Parameter
    Control the degree of rotation while maintaining at a fixed speed. The higher the value, the greater the degree of regression target speed when the speed is insufficient. Whereas, when the speed is too high, the function needs to be combined with the fixed speed sensitivity I setting;

  14. Governor Parameter I
    When the !! peed falls below, or exceeds the value set, the speed is compensated by the ESC. This parameter is used to resize the degree of rotation. Too large parameters will cause excessive make-up, too small parameters will cause insufficient replacement;

  15. Auto Restart Time
    This feature is only available in helicopter elf or storage fixed speed modes. It is the time set to push the throttle from more than 40% to 25% to 40% throttle range, and then push back more than 40%. The parameter will not take effect when the throttle range is below 25% or between 25%-40% beyond the set time. The ESC will execute the “helicopter elf/ storage fixed speed” modes of the default start-up process only if the throttle range is above 40%;

  16. Restart Acceleration Time
    1-3 seconds, with 0.5 seconds step adjustability (default 1.5 seconds). This parameter controls the time required for the motor to accelerate from zero to full speed during a quick restart (This is an auxiliary function and is only valid if the “time to turn off and land” function is valid)

  17. Brake type

  18. Normal brake: This function will stop the motor from braking during operating according to the value set on the braking force;

  19. Proportional brake: When set to this function, the thronle travel on the remote control is 20% – 100% corresponding to 0%-100% of the throttle output, and the thronle travel on the remote control is 20%-0%

  20. Reverse brake: When “Reverse brake'” is turned on, the RPM signal is reversed. This is controlled by another channel in the remote control, and is required to have the same travel settings as the throttle channel (0-100%). The reversal signal must be in the range of 0-50% when the power is switched on. Push the trigger until the reverse signal is at the range of 50%-100%. The motor will brake to stop. Loss of throttle

  21. Brake Force
    The greater the value, the shorter the time taken for the motor to come to a standstill. 0-100%, with 1 % step adjustability. (Default: O). This function is only valid in normal brake mode; Timing
    Adjust the angle of the motor electronically. 0-3D degrees adjustable, 1 degree per step. The default is at 15 degrees;

  22. Motor Rotation
    Clockwise and counter-cloclcwise direction is adjustable from the ESC;

  23. Timing
    Adjust the angle of the motor electronically. 0-3D degrees adjustable, 1 degree per step. The default is at 15 degrees;

  24. Active Freewheeling
    Turn on synchronous rectification in “fixed-wing” or ·helicopter external speed” mode to bring better throttle linearity;

  25. Start-Up Power
    The greater the value, the stronger the start-up force. 1-7 adjustable with a default value at 3. The greater the value, the stronger the start-up force. 1-7 adjustable with a default value at 3.

Fixed speed

  1. Time to turn off and land:
    By speed calibration, the motor speed-throttle value corresponding curve is established. The throttle valve is set to a fixed value on the remote control, (e.g. the output of the throttle value corresponds to the speed, and the motor load changes to maintain the same speed).

  2. calibration, and then you can normally use the fixed speed function. In this mode, due to differences in battery discharge capacity, there will be subtle differences in the speed of each calibration. which will eventually lead to nuances in the speed of different batteries under the same throttle value, but will not affect the speed;

  3. perform a speed calibration after switching on for the fir5t time.
    You will need to do a speed calibration each time after a save has been made in another mode. In ‘”storage fixed speed· mode, you will always perform the saved motor speed-throttle value corresponding curve. The first speed calibration requires the use of a battery that is in a better state, When calibration is completed, replace a different battery of the capacity to fly again. The throttle value of the speed will maintain the same consistency to the flight before.

  4. Speed calibration

  5. The principle of speed calibration During the speed calibration process, the ESC will be able to perform a motor speed-throttle value corresponding curve according to the actual input battery voltage combined with the actual KV value of the motor. Therefore, a fully charged battery is required durir19 calibration so that helicopters do not take off;  The main rotor needs to be maintained at zero degrees.
    Note: When the speed is calibrated, the main rotor pitch is m1int1ined It O degrees and the throttle v1lue is above 40 (50’6i recommended),

  6. The user is advised to use the default throttle curve and pitch curve; (If you do not want to use the default settings, make sure that the throttle is at 50% when the motor is turned up and the main rotor pitch is O degrees)
    After turning on your remote control, the throttle must be in the lowest position and wait for the self-test to complete;

  7. Lock the throttle once the throttle lock has been set. Push the throttle rocker to 50% and unlock the throttle after. Only if the throttle lock is not set, you can push the throttle to 50%;

  8. The rotor of the helicopter will start to slowly accelerate (the main rotor pitch is zero degrees, the helicopter will not lift off, please note safety) and wait for the acceleration to complete. When the rotor speed is stable, lock the throttle lock or push the throttle stick to the minimum;

  9. Thi!! ESC no longer drives the motor to rotate. the main rotor of the helicopter begins to slow down and stop;

  10.  Speed calibration is completed.
    Note: Throttle stroke calibration should be done before the speed calibration.HOBBYWING Platinum 150A V5 Brushless Electronic Speed Controller

  11. The fixed speed function settings
    Note:

  12. The recommended fixed speed throttle interval is between 70″-90″. Having a lower fixed speed throttle wil I make the ESC inefficient. While using a higher fixed speed throttle will have a small return space. The higher load may surface if the replacement speed is insufficient to end will cause a problem with rotation. If this happens. it is recommended to replace the motor or the gear ratio; \

  13. Helicopter storage fixed speed mode is required to use a battery that is in a better state in order to complete the speed calibration. Using a poor performance battery may damage the battery cells during the flight;

  14. In storage fixed speed, different battery packs can be used as long as the number of cells inside will be able to bring a stable speed. However, battery packs with different number of cells will not be possible

  15. The Pl parameters allow the user to ma set up to suit their needs. Connect your phone or PC to view the corresponding table for throttle and 5peed in the storage fixed speed mode.

  * In the “helicopter storage fixed speed mode”{does not have to be in •helicopter elf fixed speed mode”), you can see the calibration speed (Max RPM) each time the power is turned on. The calculated fixed speed throttle corresponding to the main speed is also more accurate. It is recommended to install the motor and gear ratio, battery with a fixed number of cells. Here’s an example of the fixed speed setting in this mode:
  * The values in the figure is just an example, depending on the actual display values. This value is the maximum electrical speed that the motor can achieve at, 00% throttle.
  * If the main rotor during a 30 flight requires to be maintained at 2700 rpm, the fixed speed throttle needs to be set at 2700 + 3400 to get about D.S. At 0.8, the throttle value needs to be set at 80%.
  * At this point, you need to set the throttle curve (e.g. IDLE1) to 80% of a horizontal line, as shown in the figure: During the flight. the normal throttle curve can be cut to IDLE1 after taking off.  

Note: In general. some advanced remote controls are allowed to set ■and to save the IDLE settings for 2-3 sets of throttle curves (the pitches under each set of IDLE are adjusted accordingly to actual needs), and you can switch these settings back and forth during the flight to meet the needs of setting multiple fixed speed throttles to meet different flight speed requirements (e.g. IDLE1 is set as 70% throttle, IDLE2 is 80’6. throttle. IDLE3 is 90% throttle. ‘There are three different speed levels to meet different flight needs).

5. The user is required to set the remote control in advance as the Max RPM is not viewable in the • Elf fixed speed mode”. However, it is possible to view the speed of the main rotor, and determine the needs to set the throttle value with the help of external equipment (speed viewer). Setting the throttle value to such that the motor is 4801CY, 12S full-charge lithium battery, motor teeth 13T, main teeth 11 OT, so that the main rotor can get the maximum speed is: motor KV values battery voltage+ The+ tooth ratio is 480 x 12 x 4.2 x 13 +110 x about 2850 reverberations. to fly 2150 rbs, 2150 x 2850 x about 0.75 x 75% throttle. Adjust the speed according to what the speed viewer shows.![HOBBYWING Platinum 150A V5 Brushless Electronic Speed Controller 10](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/HOBBYWING-Platinum-150A-V5-Brushless-Electronic-Speed-Controller-10.jpg)

The protection function description

  1. Abnormal power-on voltage protection:
    The ESC enters a protective state once the input voltage detected is not in the operating range. Prompting LED light to flash;

  2. Start-up protection:
    The start-up protection will be able to detect the motor speed from when the speed stops rising or the rising speed is unstable. If the throttle input is less than 15%, the ESC will try to restart automatically; (This may occur due to; Poor contact between the ESC and motor connections, individual output wires, faulty motor, prof)ellers blocked by other objects, Binding Qears, etc.)

  3. Temperature Protection:
    When the operating temperature of the ESC has exceeded 11 a degrees Celsius. power will be gradually reduced for safety, but will not be turned off. There will still be up to 50% of power. to ensure that the motor has the power to land. After the temperature drops, the ESC will gradually be restored back to maximum power. ESC temperature must not exceed 70 degrees or it will not work:. Prompting LED light to flash (above is the soft-off protection mode, if you choose hard-off, cut off the power directly)

  4. Throttle slgnal loss protection:
    When the throttle signal is lost for more than 0.25 seconds, the output is ilTVl’lediately switched off to avoid further damage due to the propeller rotating at a high speed. Once the signal has been restored, the power output will be restored;

  5. Overloading protection:
    When there is a sudden surge of current. power will be cut off and will be restarted. If the load is still abnormal after the restart. the power will be completely cut off;

  6. Low current protection:
    When the operating voltage of the ESC has exceeded the protection voltage set, power will be gradually reduced for safety, but will not be turned off. There will still be up to 50% of power, to ensure that the motor has the power to land;

  7. Current protection:
    The current will be cut off immediately once the set value has been breached
