Transmitter And Receiver Binding - Horizon Hobby BLADE 150S Smart Instruction Manual

SMART Throttle
The new line of Spektrum ESCs feature a telemetry func-
tion called SMART Throttle. SMART Throttle technology
combines the throttle signal with telemetry data from the
ESC on one normal three wire servo connector.
SMART Throttle ESCs can send current, voltage, ESC temp,
and mAh consumed. They can also pass along battery
data from compatible Spektrum SMART batteries. SMART
Throttle telemetry data shows up on your transmitter like
any other telemetry sensor.
For SMART Throttle to function you must have a SMART
Throttle ESC paired with a SMART Throttle telemetry
receiver, and a Spektrum DSMX transmitter with telemetry.
Only certain Spektrum products include SMART technol-
ogy compatibility, check your receiver and ESC manual for
more information. An update for your transmitter may be
required for SMART features.
(See www.spektrumrc.com to register and update your
transmitter.)
To activate SMART Telemetry:
1. Keep the vehicle powered on after binding the trans-
mitter to the receiver
2. On your Spektrum transmitter, Scroll to the Telemetry
screen
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
The ESC will continuously lower power to the motor until
complete shutdown when the battery reaches 9V under
load. This helps prevent over-discharge of the Li-Po
battery. Land immediately when the ESC activates LVC.
Continuing to fly after LVC can damage the battery, cause
a crash or both. Crash damage and batteries damaged
due to over-discharge are not covered under warranty.
