3. Configuració

Proper installation and wiring are crucial for the safe and optimal performance of your GEP-BLS60A-4IN1 ESC. Always ensure power is disconnected before handling components.

3.1 Muntatge

• Mount the ESC securely to your drone frame using the provided silicone grommets. The mounting holes are 30.5mm x 30.5mm. The silicone grommets reduce vibrations and convert the φ4mm holes to φ3mm for standard mounting screws.
• Ensure adequate airflow around the ESC for cooling, especially during high-current operation.

3.2 Cablejat

• Connexió d'alimentació: Solder the XT60 power cable to the main battery pads on the ESC. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative). The included capacitor should be soldered across the main battery pads as close to the ESC as possible to filter voltage pics.
• Connexions del motor: Solder your drone's motor wires to the corresponding M1, M2, M3, and M4 pads on the ESC. The order of these connections determines motor direction, which can typically be reversed in the flight controller or ESC configuration software.
• Flight Controller Connection: Use the provided Flight Controller Adapter Cable to connect the ESC to your flight controller. This cable typically carries telemetry, current sensing, and Dshot signals. Refer to your flight controller's manual for specific pinout details.

Important: Double-check all solder joints for continuity and shorts before applying power. Incorrect wiring can cause permanent damage to the ESC, motors, or flight controller.

4. Funcionament

The GEP-BLS60A-4IN1 ESC functions as an interface between your flight controller and motors. It translates the flight controller's commands into motor speed and direction. There are no direct user controls on the ESC itself.

4.1 Firmware i configuració

• The ESC comes pre-flashed with firmware (Target: G_H_30). For optimal performance and compatibility, it is recommended to use the latest stable version of BLHeli_S firmware.
• Configuration of ESC settings (e.g., motor direction, timing, brake settings) is typically done via the BLHeliSuite software, connected through your flight controller.
• Ensure your flight controller is configured to use the Dshot protocol (150, 300, or 600) for communication with the ESC.

4.2 Encès

Once all connections are verified, connect a 3-6S LiPo battery to the XT60 connector. The ESC will typically emit a series of beeps indicating successful initialization and motor arming readiness (as controlled by the flight controller).

5. Manteniment

Regular inspection and basic care can extend the lifespan of your ESC.

• Inspecció visual: Periodically check for any signs of physical damage, burnt components, loose wires, or cold solder joints.
• Neteja: Keep the ESC free from dust, dirt, moisture, and debris. Use compressed air or a soft brush for cleaning.
• Gestió de la calor: Ensure the ESC is not covered or obstructed, allowing for proper heat dissipation. Overheating can lead to performance degradation and component failure.
• Integritat de la connexió: Verify that all connectors and solder points remain secure and free from corrosion.

6. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your ESC, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• El motor no gira:
  • Check motor wiring for continuity and shorts.
  • Verify ESC signal wire connection to the flight controller.
  • Ensure motor direction is correctly set in BLHeliSuite or flight controller software.
  • Check for bent motor shafts or obstructions.
• Motor Desyncs/Stutters:
  • Ensure the ESC firmware is up to date.
  • Adjust motor timing settings in BLHeliSuite (usually 'Medium' or 'Medium-High' is a good starting point).
  • Check for excessive vibrations or loose motor mounts.
  • Ensure the capacitor is properly installed and not damaged.
• Sobreescalfament de l'ESC:
  • Verify adequate airflow around the ESC.
  • Check for motor issues (e.g., shorted windings, binding) that could draw excessive current.
  • Ensure propeller size and pitch are appropriate for your motors and battery voltage.
• No Power/No Beeps:
  • Comproveu la connexió i la polaritat de la bateria principal.
  • Inspect for any visible damage or burnt components on the ESC.
  • Prova el volum de la bateriatage.

If problems persist, consult online forums, community resources, or contact GEPRC support for further assistance.

7. Consells d'usuari

Based on general practices for FPV ESCs:

• Qualitat de la soldadura: Always use a good quality soldering iron and lead-free solder for all connections. Poor solder joints are a common cause of issues.
• Instal·lació de condensadors: The included capacitor is vital for filtering electrical noise and protecting the ESC from voltage spikes. Install it as close to the main power pads as possible.
• Actualitzacions de firmware: While the ESC comes with firmware, periodically check for newer versions of BLHeli_S firmware. Updates often include bug fixes and performance improvements.
• Prova: Before full flight, perform a bench test with propellers removed to ensure all motors spin correctly and in the right direction.
