Familiarize yourself with the main components of the ESC:

  • Cables d'alimentació: Red (positive) and Black (negative) 10AWG wires for battery connection.
  • Cables de sortida: Three Black 10AWG wires for motor connection.
  • Signal Wire: For connection to the receiver/flight controller.
  • Independent Programming Interface: For connecting programming devices.

4.2 Instal·lació

  1. Muntatge: Securely mount the ESC in your helicopter or fixed-wing aircraft using appropriate fasteners or double-sided tape. Ensure adequate airflow around the ESC for optimal cooling.
  2. Connexió de la bateria: Connect your 6-14S LiPo battery to the Red (positive) and Black (negative) power wires. Ensure correct polarity. If using external 2S batteries for the BEC, connect them as per the anti-reverse circuit design.
  3. Connexió del motor: Connect the three Black output wires from the ESC to your brushless motor. The order of connection may affect motor rotation direction; this can be adjusted later if needed.
  4. Connexió del receptor/controlador de vol: Connect the signal wire from the ESC to the appropriate throttle channel on your receiver or flight controller.
  5. Ventilador de refrigeració: If not pre-installed, attach the cooling fan to the heatsink for improved thermal performance, especially in high-power applications.
