ESC PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS
I. Throttle Calibration:
1. Remove the propeller.
2. If using a computer radio, set end points for throttle channel to 100% and trims and sub trim to 0.
3. Turn on the transmitter. Advance throttle stick.
4. Connect battery to ESC. Hear three tones... " 1 2 3" followed by two short beeps..."beep beep."
5. Lower throttle stick all the way. Hear short beeps (3 beeps for 3S or 4 beeps for 4S), followed by one longer beep.
6. Throttle is calibrated. Disconnect battery.
II. Programming Instructions:
The ESC is factory-set for the Hadron—other than possibly having to calibrate the throttle, there is nothing that needs to be done
with the ESC. However, should you desire to re-program the ESC to suit different requirements, following are full programming
instructions:
ESC SPECIFICATIONS
Constant Current
Burst current (<10 seconds)
BEC mode
BEC output
Battery cell count
Dimensions
The brake strength, battery type, cutoff mode, cutoff voltage, start mode and timing are all programmable. Follow the programming
instructions to change any of these settings from the factory-set defaults.
1. ACCESS PROGRAMMING MENU:
A. Turn on the transmitter. Advance throttle stick all the way.
B. Connect the battery to the ESC.
Hear three tones (" 1 2 3") followed by:
Two short beeps ("beep beep") followed by:
5-second pause followed by:
Five tones (" 1 2 3 4 5")
The ESC is now in the Programming Menu
and will loop through a sequence of beeps, each
representing a function in the menu that can be
reprogrammed. (You don't have to do anything
at this time; you can simply listen to the beeps
identifying which function correlates to which
sequence of beeps.)
