Programmable parameters

A number of the performance parameters for the ESC are set as Default values. By using a Program Card (available separately) these default values can be set to meet the users’particular performance requirements. The following section will deal with these factors:

• Brake Type: There are three brake types including OFF (brake disable), Soft brake and Hard brake.
  The default is OFF (brake disable).

Soft brake: discontinuous brake.

Hard brake: continuous braking until the motor stops rotating.

• Timing Mode: There are three options: Low, Mid and High. The default is Mid.

Low advance timing is recommended for high inductance and low KV motors.

High advance timing is recommended for low inductance and high KV motors, e.g. high KV outrunner motors.

• Cutoff Mode: There are two options: Soft-Cut and Cut-Off. The default is Soft-Cut.

Cut-Off option: immediate motor shutdown occurs in low-voltage.

Soft-Cut option: Reduce throttle power to below 50% of the full power at low-voltage if current output power is more than 50% of the full On throttle power, or else it will keep unchanged.

• Start Mode: There are three options: Fast start, Soft start and very Soft start. The default is very Soft start.

Fast start is recommended for low inductance and low start loading motors.

Very Soft start is recommended for high inductance and high start loading motors.

Soft start is recommended for those motors with medium inductance and medium start loading.

• Governor Mode: Recommended for setting governor mode in helicopters. The options: OFF，Gov-Low，Gov-High. The default is OFF

  Governor mode is a RPM control which means the throttle stick position determines the RPM that the motor runs and the controller will attempt to hold that RPM regardless of load changes. Governor mode is useful in collective pitch helicopters, making the control more easy and flexible.

OFF disables governor mode. It is usually used in airplanes or fixed pitch helicopters.

Gov-Low has finer RPM control at lower RPMS

Gov-High has finer RPM control at higher RPMS.

• Li-XX Cells: It is used to choose cells of Li-xx battery packs. Range : 0－12 cells. The default is 0 cell.

If the battery cell is 0, the system will automatically identify the battery cell as 0 and calculate the Low-voltage cutoff voltage. E.g. suppose the low-voltage cutoff voltage is 2.75V per cell (under Mid Low-voltage cutoff type), if there're 3 cells, the total Low-voltage cutoff voltage would be 2.75*3=8.25V.

• Cutoff voltage: There are three options: Low, Middle, and High. The default is Middle.

Low: Low-voltage cutoff voltage is 2.5V per cell.

Middle: Low-voltage cutoff voltage is 2.75V per cell.

High: Low-voltage cutoff voltage is 3.0V per cell.
