Specification

Installation & Connectors

*Install/Solder the relevant battery connector (Battery Specific) to the battery wires. Red to +ve and Black to -ve.

Reversing the battery polarity will destroy your ESC and void the warranty.

*Connect supplied BEC wire(150mm) to 3pin port match the (- + s) between thereceiver connector and ESC.

*Connect the 3 motor wires to the motor; you can either solder the wires directly to themotor or use your favorite connectors. Match the label of the ESC Output (A, B, C) to the Tablabels on the motor when soldering. Avoid soldering each joint for longer than 5 seconds. Prior to operation make sure you have not created a short by either creating a wire bridge or solder bridge on the solder tabs on the motor.

Improper wiring may damage the ESC and void the warranty.

*Connect the sensor cable between the ESC sensor plug and the Motor sensor plug.

*Connect the receiver plug to the CH2/throttle pin of the receiver.

*Secure the on/off switch in a place where it will not be accidentally knocked to the??off?? position during a crash.

*The Fan port voltage is drawn directly from the battery.

Radio & Esc setup

Transmitter Settings:
Throttle Travel Maximum / 100%
Brake Travel Maximum / 100%
Throttle Exponential Start with 0%
Throttle Neutral Trim Center / 0
Throttle Servo Reverse Reverse (Futaba, KO, Sanwa)

Initial set-up of the throttle end-points of the ESC:

• Connect the power wires of the ESC to a fully charged battery set; making sure the polarity is correct.
• Bind your receiver and transmitter first if your radio requires you to do so.
• Turn on the transmitter and hold the throttle at full brake position.
• Turn on ESC and listen for 2 beeps.
• After you hear the 2 beeps, apply full throttle and listen for another 2 beeps.
• Once you hear the 2 beeps, release the throttle to neutral position.
• A beep will then sound, signifying that the ESC endpoints have been successfullyset.

Note! If you do not hear the beeping sound as described above, try reversing the throttle reverse setting in the transmitter.

Due to the different requirements of each style and class of racing, it is important to customize your ESC for each use case. Customization of the ESC is done using the Program Card (Sold Separately):

To begin, connect the battery wires to a charged battery, then connect supplied 4pin wire (200mm) to the ESC setting port (4pin port) and Program Card. Turn on the ESC and the Program Card will activate automatically. Note that the screen will show "Loading..." during initialization -indicating that the ESC is copying the current setup in the ESC to the Program Card. Once loading is completed, the screen will show "ETS Blinky Pro" and "Program". You can now begin programming your ESC. Press "Enter" to access Program Mode.

TIPS! Whenever in doubt, double check your ESC setting by initializing the Program Card again and checking each menu setting.

Navigation around the Program Menu is done using the 4 buttons on the right hand side of the Program Card. The function of each button varies depending on which screen the display is showing:

"Select" button------------------------go to next select

Press and hold "Select" button two second ------- go to back page

"" button - Scroll up
"" button - Scroll down
"Enter" button - Send Changes from Program Card to the ESC and overwrite old data in the ESC

NOTE! The Program Card is not included and is sold separately.

The Program Card will compare the Parameters within the card and ESC before sending. If changes are detected, you will hear a series of beeps and the Program Card will display:

TIPS! Do not worry about making mistakes. You will not damage the ESC during setting. If in doubt, you can always reload the default set up and start over again.

Double press "Enter" button to clear the data, otherwise Min and Max data will keep Forever.

3. Update

Updating of ESC Firmware:

• Scroll to the "Update"menu and press "Enter". This will show the current ESC Firmware Version.
• Press "Enter" again to access the SD cards Firmware folder. Select the firmware Version that you would like to use to update the ESC. Press"Enter" again and the update will commence (It will take around 1 minute to complete the update).
  

Updating of Program Card Firmware:

• Depress and hold the Program card "Enter" button while turning on the ESC. It will display the current Program card firmware Version.
• Press "Enter" again to access the SD cards Firmware folder. Select the Firmware Version that you would like to use to update the Program Card. Press "Enter" again and the update will commence (It will take around 1 minute to complete the update).

Preparing the SD card for use:
Format a microSD card using FAT32 file structure using a personal computer. If you are using a Micro SD Card larger than 32GB, you will need to use a 3rd party SW Package to do this. Create a new folder called "Firmware". Download the latest firmware from www.orcarc.com/firmware/ and copy the file to the "Firmware" folder on the Micro SD card. Once completed, install the MicroSD card into the microSD card slot of the Program Card. Both the Program Card and ESC Firmware Files need to be copied in to the "Firmware" Folder. A maximum of 10 of each ESC/Program card firmware can be present in the folder at any one time.

Multi Protection System -- In addition to the Low Voltage and Overheat Protection that were described above, the ESC is protected in 2 more ways.

ESC auto temperature protect
*The esc will auto down power to 50% when the esc temperature over 125F degree

Motor Lock Protection:
*The motor have not temperature protection in this esc but the ESC isprotected against damage when the motor is stuck and does not turn at all.
Power will not be applied in this situation.

Since the ESC relies on the feed back of the 3 motor wires todeploy this protection, it ONLY works if the motor does not turn AT ALL. If the rotor has any rotation, the ESC will consider the motor to be operational and the power to the motor will not be cut off.

Fail Signal Protection:
*In case the radio signal to the ESC is interrupted for over 1 second during arun, the ESC will cut off until the signal resumes.

LED Blinking:
ETS Blinky Pro ESC
Firmware Limit 13.5T - 1.1 blinking red LED two times.
Firmware Limit 17.5T - 1.1 blinking red LED three times.

Misc. Tips:
*Connect the ESC to the battery pack only when you are ready to run. Thiswill avoid draining the battery pack. Always disconnect the battery after your run.

*A small spark may occur when the battery is initially connected to the ESC.This is normal and is due to the charging of the capacitors.

   Lipolymer Middle
   Lipo cut off at 3.2V/cell
   
   Lipolymer High
   Lipo cut off at 3.4V/cell
3. Punch
   Allows you to change the punch of the ESC (Level 1 to Level 5):
   *Level 1 has the least punch and Level 5 has the highest punch.
   *Adjust punch level to maximize acceleration speed withminimum wheel spin.
4. PWM(Driver Freq)
   Allows you to change the forward drive frequency of the ESC (1K to 24K From six step)
   *The 1K setup will give you good punch at the low end.
   *The 24K setup will result in strong mid to top end.
   *Experiment to find out what suits your driving style best.
