Optional Accessories - Hobbytech Spirit NXT Evo 4S Instruction Manual

2. Programmable Values
2.1. Running Mode: With "Forward Only with Brake" mode, the car can go forward and brake, but cannot go backward, this mode
is suitable for competition; "Forward/Reverse with Brake" mode provides backward function, which is suitable for daily training.
Note: "Forward/Reverse with Brake" mode uses "Double-click" method to make the car go backward. When you move the
throttle stick from forward zone to backward zone for the first time (The 1st "click"), the ESC begins to brake the motor, the motor
speeds down but it is still running, not completely stopped, so the backward action is NOT happened immediately. When the
throttle stick is moved to the backward zone again (The 2nd "click"), if the motor speed is slowed down to zero (i.e. stopped),
the backward action will happen. The "Double-Click" method can prevent mistakenly reversing action when the brake function
is frequently used in steering.
By the way, in the process of braking or reversing, if the throttle stick is moved to forward zone, the motor will run forward at once.
"Forward/Reverse" mode uses "Single-click" method to make the car go backward. When you move the throttle stick from forward
zone to backward zone, the car will go backward immediately. This mode is usually used for the Rock Crawler.
2.2. Drag Brake Force: Set the amount of drag brake applied at neutral throttle to simulate the slight braking effect of a neutral
brushed motor while coasting.
2.3. Low Voltage Cut-Off: The function prevents the lithium battery pack from over discharging. The ESC detects the
battery's voltage at any time, if the voltage is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the output power will be cut off, and the red
LED flashes in such a way: "❏-❏-, ❏-❏-, ❏-❏-".
There are 6 preset options for this item. You can customize the cutoff threshold by using a LCD program box (optional equipment)
to trim it with a step of 0.1V, so it will be more suitable for all kinds of batteries (NiMH, NiCd, Li-ion, Lipo, LFP,etc). Please always
keep in mind that the customized value is not for each cell, it is for the WHOLE battery pack.
2.4. Start Mode (Also called "Punch"): Select from "Level 1" to "Level 9" as your like, Level 1 has a very soft start effect, while level 4
has a very aggressive start effect. From Level 1 to Level 9, the start force is increasing.
Please note that if you choose "Level7" to "Level9" mode, you must use good quality battery pack with powerful discharge ability,
otherwise these modes cannot get the burst start effect as you want. If the motor cannot run smoothly (the motor is trembling),
it may caused by the weak discharge ability of the battery pack, please choose a better battery, choose low value for "punch" or
increase the gear rate.
2.5. Maximum Brake Force: The ESC provides proportional brake function. The brake force is related to the position of the
throttle stick. Maximum brake force refers to the force when the throttle stick is located at the top point of the backward zone.
A very large brake force can shorten the brake time, but it may damage the gears.
3. Reset All Items To Default Values
At any time when the throttle is located in neutral zone (except in the throttle calibration or parameters program process), hold
the "SET" key for over 3 seconds, the red LED and green LED will flash at the same time , which means each programmable item
has be reset to its default value.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

2. Carte de programmation LED
Program card is an optional equipment which needs to be purchased separately. It has
a friendly user interface. The process of programming the ESC becomes quite easy and
fast with this pocket sized device. When the programmable value needs to be changed,
please just plug the control wires of the ESC (trio wires with black, red and white color)
into the socket of the program card (The socket is on the right corner, and marked with
), and then connect the main battery pack to the ESC. After several seconds,
each item's value will be shown on the program card. Use "ITEM" and "VALUE" buttons
to select the programmable items and new values, and then press "OK" button to store
the new settings into the ESC.
Item # KN-PROGRAM-CARD
• The program port is multiplexed with the cooling fan port, please disconnect the cooling fan, and then use program cable to
connect the fan port of the ESC to the LED program card.
Note4: The Rx wire of the ESC (for connecting receiver) CANNOT be used to connect with the LED Program Card.
