Wiring Diagram

Initialization

1. Turn on the correct power (tone: 4-2-4)
2. Battery cells number prompt
3. Throttle signal is correct (tone: 4-2-4)
4. Finish, ready to run.

* If the throttle signal alarm occurs, please follow the status table.

Battery cells number prompt

• Summit ESC is designed for lithium-ion polymer batteries. The number of cell is automatic recognized, and the sound is prompted.
• Prompt the battery number of cells = long tone times x 3 + short tone times (1 or 2)
• For example: one long tone and one brief tone are 4S batteries, two long tone are 6S batteries, two long tone and two brief tone are 8S batteries, and four long tone are 12S batteries
• If the battery number of cells is difference from actual battery number of cells, please check the battery and to ensure it is fully charged.

Throttle calibration

• Whenever the model data in the remote control is used with the Summit ESC for the first time, it is strongly recommended to do "throttle calibration".
• If the calibration is not done, the lowest throttle signal may be high and the ESC will not work. It is also possible that the throttle signal is low and the ESC brake function is activated.

1. Turn on the transmitter, the throttle stick is placed at the highest position
2. Turn on /connect the power of Summit (tone: 4-2-4)
3. Battery cell number prompt (tone 4)
4. Wait for about 3 seconds, long tone (tone 2)
5. Immediately lower the throttle, long tone (tone 4)
6. Complete throttle calibration (tone: 4-2-4)
7. Summit is ready to run

• If R/C throttle signal is reversed, the ESC may enter the calibration incorrectly. Please pay special attention to this, power off, reverse the throttle signal and try again.

Change the direction of motor rotation

The Summit ESC can change the direction of motor rotation by setting, without having to go through the physical way of changing the two-phase motor line.

1. Turn on the transmitter, the throttle stick is placed at the highest position
2. Turn on the power of Summit (tone: 4-2-4)
3. Battery cells number prompt (tone 4)
4. Wait for 3S or so, single longtone (tone 2), this is the entrance to the "throttle calibration". Do not do any operation
5. Wait for the next 3 seconds, double long tone, enter the motor rotation direction detection program
6. Spin the motor with correct direction by hand
7. If you hear a long prompt Tone, indicating that the new direction of rotation has been recorded
8. Move the throttle to the lowest position (tone: 4-2-4)
9. Summit is ready to run.

• Do the throttle calibration firstly
• If the motor rotates in the right direction, do not operate.
• In this operation, propeller must NOT be installed.
• This operation only records the direction of the motor once. If it needs to be re-recorded, power off the ESC and repeat the above steps.
• This operation does not change the value of throttle.

Timing and applicable motors

Summit ESC uses intelligent algorithms and automatic timing, so users no longer need to experiment with different timing and motor compatibility. Summit is applicable to Dualsky ECO, EA, DA, GA, MR, HD, etc series motors. It is also applicable to the same type of high quality senseless brushless outrunner on the market. There is also good compatibility with the senseless brushless inrunners.

Set idle speed and energy recovery

After the Summit throttle is calibrated, the default minimum throttle is the freewheel. At this time, if the throttle's trim is pushed up a few and the motor is rotating, the gas engine idle speed effect can be simulated. The idle speed has the following advantages:

• Motor acceleration is faster
• Stay in energy recovery mode
• Better drag-brake effect than freewheel.

Set the brake

If the lowest point of the throttle is lowered from the unpowered position (by trim or throttle curve), the throttle enters the brake zone. The braking force of the Summit series can be finely adjusted in the range of 0-100%. The lower the throttle position, the greater the braking force, which is very suitable for aerobatics such as F3A.

Set the throttle lock switch

On the ground, if the throttle stick is accidentally touched, the propeller will rotate, which is very dangerous. Summit ESC can't be avoided either. It is recommended to set the throttle lock by the Throttle cut-off function, one more protection. At the same time, this function works well with the idle function.

Switch and dormancy

For Summit which has BEC module, the BEC output can be controlled by the FSS-4 switch. When the BEC is turned off, the ESC goes to dormancy. The switch is Fail safe type. Without switch or switch failure, ESC remains in working condition. Summit HV series which is without BEC enters the dormancy state when the throttle signal disappears for more than 3 seconds. After the signal is recovered, it must be lowered to the minimum before the ESC can be restarted. With this function, the main battery can be connected with power system in advance, the remote control system is not turned on and placed the model in the waiting area.

• Dormant ESC has a few milliampere of power consumption. it is not recommended keeping dormancy for more than 24 hours.
