Protective function

• Start protection： When the power is connected normally, the ESC will first start the self-test. If the self-test is successful, it will run normally after beeping. If the self-test fails, it will not start and the flashing light will act as warning sign.
• Stall Protection： When the ESC detects that the motor is locked, the ESC will completely turn off the output and will not restart the motor. At this time, it is necessary to power cycle to clear the error and restart the ESC to restore power output.
• Current protection： When it detects that the instantaneous current abnormality reaches close to 320A, the ESC will restart immediately, and the output will be turned off if the number of detections reaches 6 consecutive times. After the motor stops, it will return to normal after powering on again.
• Throttle signal loss protection: When the ESC detects that the throttle remote control signal is lost for more than 0.25 seconds, it will immediately turn off the output to avoid greater losses caused by the continued high-speed rotation of the propeller. After the signal is restored, the ESC will immediately restore the corresponding power output.
• Temperature protection: This power system has no temperature protection, and will only send out an alarm when the temperature of the ESC is higher than 110°C. The flashing lights will be 1 long and 3 short, and 1 long and 4 short. When the temperature exceeds 130 degrees, the ESC may be burnt. Upon seeing the prompt, please land immediately.

Operation

ID set up

If there is no requirement, the default factory ID of the ESC is 1, the throttle channel is 1, and the base rate is 500kHz. This function is only available for CAN communication ESCs, and the serial port does not have this function. This function can communicate with the flight controller to realize digital throttle. This function requires the additional purchase of a DataLink data box. Before using this function, ensure that the computer system is installed with the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 software in advance to operate.

Connection
ESC—->DataLink data box “red gray( yellow red green)”—->”-CH1 CL1″; Connect the data box to the computer via USB. Please remove the propeller to avoid danger upon changing the ID. For the same aircraft, different ESC IDs and throttles cannot be the same. ESCs with the same ID will be recognized as one ESC upon using the CAN function.

Operation

Fault storage
The ESC has its own fault storage function to store the time during power-on, flight time, and fault time information. This function makes it convenient for flight fault analysis. Please note that this function only records the data at the time of failure, and not all flight data. This function requires the use of a DataLink data box, serial port assistant, DataLink software, and USB data cable.

Note: DataLink software can be obtained from Hobbywing’s official website, dealers, Hobbywing sales, and Hobbywing after-sales. DataLink data box version requirements, LINK-01.2.14-C or later; serial port assistant requirements, USB to TTL; DataLink software requires a fault storage version, which can be obtained from the official website, WeChat official account or after-sales.
