Box 360815 Support@EspritTech.com Melbourne, FL https://www.espritTech.com 32936, USA FALCON E LECTRONIC PEED ONTROLLER 2.01 ANUAL IRMWARE ERSION The FALCON product line represents advanced speed controllers for use exclusively in RC airplane models. With integrated telemetry and various possibilities of optional user configuration, the controllers offer high efficiency, low weight and precise motor control.
- Page 2 NSTALLATION Fasten the controller in your model using Velcro or double-sided adhesive tape. Connect the motor and receiver according to the schematic below. You may connect the motor cables in arbitrary order, as changing direction is done by exchanging any of the two cables (alternatively also by the “Direction” parameter in the configuration). Turn on the transmitter.
- Page 3 In case you need exact points on your transmitter stick, where the motor starts and where full throttle is, you can configure manual endpoints as well. Note: The controller waits for throttle-low position after startup and also every time the motor is stopped due to any error condition.
- Page 4 Example: Motor brake with the following parameters: Start power = 50%, End power = 100%, Transition = 0.5s, Wait time = 0.3s. VOLTAGE AND SETTING In the Common Setting menu, you are able to modify the BEC voltage very precisely in steps of 0.1V. The controller contains a very powerful BEC which is able to deliver up to 15Amp continuous current.
- Page 5 XTERNAL SWITCH The FALCON ESC allows you to install an external switch if needed. By default the switch is not present, so that the speed controller/BEC turns immediately after connecting the flight battery. You can specify the type of switching element in the Common Setting –...
- Page 6 Note: Use a high quality CA or Epoxy glue to fix the magnet in the rotating part. You can also drill a small hollow in the spinner and fix the magnet in it. Warning: Do not use higher PWM than necessary otherwise the motor may overheat. Generally use as low PWM as possible so that the motor holds its position reliably.
- Page 7 OVERNOR MODE The speed controllers contain a fast and precise governor function. You are able to configure the governor mode in many aspects according to your preferences. Before enabling the governor mode, please make sure the blades are removed. In the Common Setting menu, set the Controller Mode to “Heli/Governor”...
- Page 8 Note: Please make sure the gear ratio and number of motor poles are correctly set in the Motor Setting menu. Also, please verify that the brake is disabled and check the state of the propeller positioning function. Please note that dynamic changes of the motor revolutions in flight are limited by the “Acceleration” parameter configured in the Motor Setting menu.
- Page 9 OTOR DIRECTION REVERSING The motor reverse feature is available for RC systems with bidirectional bus support (EX Bus, P Bus, SRXL2, S.Bus2). To control the motor direction you need to define an additional channel transferred through the bus system. Both cables (red and black) of the FALCON speed controller must be properly linked the receiver. First, you need to create an additional channel on you transmitter to control the motor direction.
- Page 10 ELEMETRY AND ETTINGS Plug the red data cable into the sensor slot of the JETIBOX / SMART-BOX (or corresponding receiver). Power it up with a battery (4.5 - 8.4V). Now you can safely configure the controller using the arrows on the terminal. If you use an external (optional) switch connected to the ESC, please make sure that the controller is turned on.

- Page 12 Futaba and Multiplex connection Futaba and Multiplex systems do not offer wireless device configuration. The telemetry transmission is possible with the following fixed sensor slots: Futaba S.Bus2 slot Note Multiplex MSB slot Choose RPM sensor on slot 2. Current Choose SBS01C current sensor on slot 3.
- Page 13 Note: The FALCON version 2.01 and later is compatible with Spektrum single-cable operation (Smart Throttle). To enable this function, just plug the red telemetry cable into receiver channel No.1 and keep the other (black) cable unplugged. You will be able to control throttle as well as receive telemetry. This approach is compatible with AR10400T receiver family as well.
- Page 14 IRMWARE PDATE Firmware updates for the FALCON ESC are transferred from a PC via the USB interface. The required programs and files are available at www.espritmodel.com. Install the MAV Manager software and the USB drivers on your computer. Check the system requirements. 1) Make sure that the battery flight pack is disconnected and the FALCON ESC is unpowered.

The MAV the configuration, the new value is immediately Manager is also able to create a log file from the real- time telemetry data, which can be viewed, analyzed, transferred to the controller and saved to memory.
