SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This product is a sophisticated hobby product and not a toy. It must be operated with caution and common sense and requires some basic mechanical ability. Failure to operate this product in a safe and responsible manner could result in injury or damage to the product or property. This product is not intended to be used by children without direct adult supervision. It is essential to read and follow all instructions and warnings found in this manual prior to installation, set up, and use, in order for the product to operate properly and to avoid damage or injury.

INSTALLATION

• Mount your ESC securely using high-quality double-sided tape.
• Install your ESC in a position that allows easy access to all connectors.
• Plug the ESC’s receiver wire into the receiver (refer to radio manufacturer’s manual).
• To prevent radio interference, arrange ESC wiring so that it is not in close proximity to the receiver antenna wire.
•  Connect the motor leads exiting the ESC to the leads exiting the motor observing the correct polarity indicated by matching wire colors.
• Always power ON your transmitter before the ESC and power OFF the ESC before the transmitter.

AUXILIARY POWER LEADS:

The auxiliary power leads provide 6V output which is used to power accessories such as LED 6ghts. winches. and digs.

PROGRAMMING YOUR ESC

Both the drag brake (DRAG BRAKE) and battery type (BATT)can be programmed using the jumpers. By moving the position of the jumper, you are able to select the desired setting
LIPo and NIMH Battery Modes: A choice of either LiPo mode or NiMH mode activates the low voltage cutoff point. This is particularly important when using LiPo batteries that should not, for performance and safety reasons, be discharged below 3.2V per cell. Note: If no jumper is installed, the ESC automatically defaults to LiPo mode.
Drag Brake: Drag brake settings allow tuning of the drag brake (automatic braking) effect for various applications. Drag brake is activated when the throttle trigger is returned to the neutral position.
Please see the diagram below to select the appropriate jumper position.
WARNING: FAILURE TO SELECT tWO MODE WHEN USING tWO BATTERIES MAY RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY AND/OR RAE

POWERING OF THE ESC

The SC400X does not have an ON/OFF switch. It is powered ON simply by plugging in a charged battery. To power, the ESC OFF, unplug the battery.
The following procedures should be followed while powering ON your ESC:

1. Confirm that your radio’s throttle and brake EPA/ ATV and D/R (Dual Rate) are set at 100% and your throttle trim is at neutral.
2. Make sure the throttle trigger is in the neutral position, turn on the transmitter and then plug the battery into the ESC. Wait for three seconds to allow the ESC to execute the self-test and throttle calibration procedure.
3. When a long beep is emitted, the calibration procedure has finished, and the ESC is ready to use.

WARNING: Failure to unplug the battery when the vehicle is not in use may result in permanent damage to the battery and/or fire.

SOUND AND LED STATUS

When your ESC is switched on:

• One short beep: The battery is NiMH/NiCd mode
• Two short beeps: The battery is in LiPo mode, 2S connected
• Three short beeps: The battery is in LiPo mode, 3S connected
• One long beep: The self-test and throttle calibration is complete, and the ESC is ready to run

LED Status:

• When the throttle trigger is at neutral, the red LED is off
• When the throttle trigger Is at partial throttle, brake, or reverse, the red LED blinks
• When the throttle trigger Is at full throttle, brake, or reverse, the red LED is solid

PROTECTION FUNCTIONS

LIPo Low Voltage Cutoff Protection
If the voltage of the LiPo battery falls below the minimum threshold for more than two seconds, the ESC will reduce power output and then cut output power and the LED will blink red. The ESC will not operate as long as the voltage remains below 3.2V per cell (25316.4V). When using the ESC in NiMH mode. the ESC will reduce power at 4.5V and not operate while the voltage remains below 4.0V.
Thermal Protection
It the temperature of the ESC exceeds the maximum threshold for more than five seconds, the ESC will reduce and cut off the output power and the LED will flash red. When the temperature returns to the normal range, power will be restored.
Throttle Signal Loss Protection
If the throttle signal is lost for more than 0.1 seconds, the ESC will cut off the output power.

WARRANTY

Your Reedy Electronic Speed Control is warranted to the original purchaser for 30 days from the date of purchase, verified by the sales receipt, against defects in material and workmanship. The product that has been mishandled, abused, used incorrectly, used for an application other than intended or damaged by the user is not covered under warranty.
