Skyrc TORO SC120 - Support Brushless Motor Manual

FEATURES

• Well-performed throttle and brake control function could control the punch/brake rate by point and the point can be set by user. The precision of the punch/brake rate is 1%. And the user could also custom the throttle/brake curve.
• Punch control is reasonable and precise and it can meet different customers' request for line and power.
• Users could modify the setting, monitor the ESC and motor status at any time by smart phone via Bluetooth Module (Bluetooth Module adaptor can be purchased separately, which is not included in the package).
• Red copper connector is used internal of the ESC. It can decrease the internal resistance at high current situation.
• The circuit is managed by intelligent thermal management kernel algorithm. The dynamic loss can be reduced effectively when the motor is running at high speed or the user changes the motor speed frequently so that the motor can be more stable when running.
• Heat transfer: The internal resistance can be reduced by laminated copper stack control technology and cooling fan design so that the dynamic thermal equilibrium can be got. In this case, the aluminum heat sinks can works effectively.
• The users could set and store 10 sets of profiles in the ESC. These data could be called out at any time without any special program setting. All the setting can be exported or imported so that the user could compare and analyze.
• Safety features: low voltage protection, motor and ESC overheat protection and signal lost protection.
• It can be programmed by Program Box(SK-300046), PC via SKYLINK(SK-600013) or smart phone via Bluetooth Module(SK-600058).
• The firmware can be updated by connecting the ESC with PC or smart phone.

PREPARATION

1. Plan Speed Control Placement
   Choose a location for the speed control that is protected from debris. To prevent radio interference, place the speed control as far away from the radio receiver as possible and keep the power wires as short as possible. Select a location that has good airflow ventilating. If the ESC gets air flow, it will run cooler; and that means it will be more efficient.
2. Mount Speed Control in Vehicle

• Use double-sided tape to mount the speed control in vehicle (do not use CA glue). Use double-sided tape to mount the switch where it will be easy to access. Select a position where it will not get damaged or get switched OFF during a crash or roll-over.
• You may use the mounting plate(included) to fix the ESC to the chassis.
  

3. Soldering
   Cut the ESC's BLUE, YELLOW & ORANGE silicone motor power wires to the desired length and strip about 3.2mm-6.35mm (1/8"-1/4") of insulation from the end of each wire. "Pretin"the wire by heating the end and applying solder until it is thoroughly covered.
   
   By very careful not to splash yourself with hot solder.
   Place the ESC's BLUE Phase 'A' motor wire onto motor's 'A' solder tab and solder. Use soldering iron to apply heat to exposed wire; begin adding solder to tip of soldering iron and wire. Add just enough solder to form a clean and continuous joint from the plated area of the solder tab up onto the wire. Solder the ESC's YELLOW Phase'B' motor wire to the motor's 'B' solder tab and Solder the ESC's ORANGE Phase 'C' motor wire to motor's 'C' solder tab.

CONNECTION

1. Connect the motor sensor harness to ESC. Insert the 6 pin connector on the end of the motor's sensor wires into ESC's sensor harness socket.
2. Connect Throttle lead to ESC and other end to the Receiver (Throttle Channel, Ch2)
3. Solder the motor and the ESC.
4. Connect ESC to battery pack.

ESC CALIBRATION

Calibration is necessary for the first use of the ESC, or whenever used with a new/different transmitter. Individual transmitter's signals for full throttle, full brake and neutral vary. You must calibrate your ESC so that it will operate more effectively with your transmitter.

How to calibrate the ESC?

• ESC switch OFF.
• Connect the ESC to the battery and the motor.
• Turn on the transmitter.
• Press and hold the ESC switch for few seconds, the motor will ring long beep once. After that, the red LED will blink the motor will ring like beep-beep-beep... in a row which indicates it is time to set the neutral position, full throttle and full brake one by one. You could release the ESC switch now.
• Keep the throttle trigger in neutral position, press the ESC switch once, the green LED will blink once then extinguish and the motor will ring beep once which indicates the neutral position has been set.
  
• Hold full throttle and press the ESC switch once, the green LED will blink twice then extinguish and the motor will ring twice like beep-beep which indicates the full throttle has been set.
  
• Move the throttle trigger to full brake and hold full brake, press the ESC switch once, the green LED will blink three times then extinguish and the motor will ring three times like beep-beep-beep which indicates the full brake has been set.
  
• After the calibration is finished, keep the throttle in neutral position, the red LED will stay ON, the ESC and the motor is ready to work.

ESC ON/OFF AND LED INDICATOR

1. ESC ON/OFF: When the ESC is OFF, press the switch once, the motor will ring beep once and the red LED will blink, then the ESC is ready to work. When the ESC is on, press the switch once, the LED will extinguish and the ESC is OFF.
   Note 1: After running at full load, the ESC will be very hot. In this case, please turn off the ESC after it cools down.
   Note 2: When the motor is running, the ESC can't be powered off by pressing the switch; when the motor stops working, the ESC can be powered off. In an emergency, please disconnect the battery to power off the ESC.

ESC PROGRAMMING

The ESC can be programmed by program box, PC (connected with SKYLINK) or smart phone via bluetooth module.

1. PC via SKYLINK (optional part SK-600013)
   
2. Smart Phone via Bluetooth Module (optional part SK-600058)
   
3. Program Box (optional part SK-300046)

If you set the cut-off voltage manually, please note the adjustable votage is TOTAL cut-off voltage of the battery pack. In AUTO mode, the default cut-off voltage is 3.2V/S, for example, the cut-off voltage of a 4S battery pack is 3.2V*4=12.8V in AUTO mode.

Profiles Preset

The users could preset and store 10 sets of profiles in the ESC. These data could be called out for application at any time without any special program setting. The user could also reset the profile according to his request. There is one factory default setting called Profile One which is used for 1/10 Short Course or Monster.
