ESC CONNECTION DIAGRAM
ENGLISH*
MOTOR WIRE CONNECTION
1. Sensored Mode :
When using a sensored brushless motor, the A/B/C ESC wires must beconnected to the A/B/C motor connectors correspondingly and it is necessary to
connect the Sensor wire to the "Sensor" socket on the ESC. Don't change the wires sequence optionally.
2. Sensorless Mode:
When using a sensorelesss brushless motor, the A/B/C ESC wires can be connected with the motor connectors freely (without any sequence). If the
motor runs in the reverse direction, please swap any 2 wire connections.
SOFTWARE FUNCTIONS AND SETTINGS
Power ON/OFF ESC
1. Press the power button then the ESC will be powered on.
2. Press and holding the power button until the all LEDs died out, then the ESC will be powered off.
(Note: Please place the throttle trigger on the neutral position: within 10%, otherwise the ESC can not be powered off.)
THROTTLE CALIBRATION
1. Connect the ESC with the battery and receiver well, then turn on the transmitter.
2. Press and holding the power button until the blue LED is on solid, the motor have a long beep at the same time, then release the power button, the red
led will be on solid, the ESC enters to the calibration mode.
3. Pull the throttle trigger to the full throttle position, the blue led blinks three times and the motor beeps once, the full throttle position is saved.
4. Push the throttle trigger to the full brake position, the blue led blinks three times and the motor beeps twice, the full brake position is saved.
5. Release the throttle trigger to the neutral position, the blue led blinks three times and the motor beeps three times, the throttle calibration is completed.
6. The ESC can support reverse throttle calibration, if the transmitter throttle set reverse (it means pull the throttle will go to 1000 throttle position/
normally is 2000, and push the throttle will go to 2000 throttle position/normally is 1000), then you do the throttle calibration the same way as usual (as
above), it will not have any effects on the ESC forward and revers way even if the transmitter throttle set reverse.

LED STATUS
1. During Operation
THROTTLE POSITION BLUE LED
Neutral Blinking
Full Throttle ON
Full Brake OFF
Note: When you pull the throttle from neutral position to full throttle position, the Blue LED will blink, and the blink frequency will go faster when the
throttle goes higher.
2. When some protection is activated
The RED LED is always on solid once the power button is pressed.
The RED LED blinks, single flash between every one second. Repeat like "¤ ¤ ¤" indicates that the voltage is abnormal.
The RED LED blinks, double flash between every one second. Repeat like "¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤" indicates that the temperature is abnormal.
The RED LED blinks, single and double flash alternately between every one second. Repeat like "¤ ¤¤ ¤ ¤¤ ¤ ¤¤" indicates that both of the voltage
and temperature is abnormal at the same time.
The RED LED will not have any responds even the voltage or temperature is abnormal if not detect the signal.
The BLUE LED blinks,double flash between every two seconds. Repeat like "¤¤ ¤¤ ¤¤" indicates that the throttle is abnormal.
(No throttle, or the throttle is not on the neutral position)
Throttle Signal
1. The ESC can support the 450Hz maximum PPM throttle signal.
2. The ESC throttle protection will be activated under the following situation, and the BLUE LED blinks double flash:
- The throttle trigger do not place on the neutral position when the ESC turns on.
- Lost the throttle signal.
3. If the ESC lost throttle signal during the operation, the BLUE LED will blink double flash, and the ESC will start to work again until the throttle signal is
back to normal.
Sensored & Sensorless
1. The sensored mode is activated once the ESC detected the hall sensor signal at any time.
2. The ESC will work on sensorless mode once the ESC didn't detect the hall sensor signal at any time.
3. The ESC will have a slight power drop and restored soon during the moment of sensored and sensorless mode switching.
4. The PWM driving frequency will be selected automatically by the ESC on sensorless mode, and the manual setting is invalid.
5. It is invalid to set the brake PMW frequency less than 1KHz and forced recognized as 1KHZ, if the ESC is on sensorless mode.
6. Boost and turbo functions are not available on sensorless mode.
Boost & Turbo
1. After the boost or turbo timing triggered, the RPM and current will be increased, and the battery/ESC/motor will be heating, so setting the proper
timing and timing increased rate, and control the time of timing will effect the battery/ESC/motor service life.
2. The difference of the Boost and Turbo Timing:
The Boost timing will be triggered even though you do not pull the throttle trigger to the full throttle position.
The Turbo timing will be triggered only when you pull the throttle trigger to the full throttle position.
3. The Boost timing plus the Turbo timing is equal to the final opened timing when the throttle reaches its maximum position, and the final total timing is
60 degrees for Beast Pro 150A total timing is 15 degree). For example: If Boost timing set at 45 degree, and Turbo Timing set at 50 degree, so when
the throttle reaches its maximum position, the Boost timing will be 45 degree, and Turbo Timing only can be opened at 15 degree.
4. If set the low voltage or over temperature protection, and the protection is activated, then all the timing will be closed.
Protection
1. High Voltage Protection:
If the ESC detected the voltage too high (Higher than the esc standard voltage), when the ESC turns on, and the voltage protection was not set "OFF",
then the voltage protection will be activated, and the maximum throttle output will be limited within 50%. (The high voltage protection only worked on
the moment of the ESC turns on, and it will not work on the other stages even it detected the high voltage, once the high voltage protection opened,
even though the voltage comes down to the normal voltage, the protection will not be relieved.)
2. Low Voltage Protection:
If the ESC detected the voltage less than the set value at anytime, and this voltage keep for a while, then the low voltage protection is activated, and
the maximum throttle output will be limited within 50%. (Once the low voltage protection activated, even though the voltage comes back to normal,
the protection can not be relieved.)
3. Thermal Protection:
The output throttle from the ESC will be limited (not over 50%) with the thermal value you have preset. (The Thermal protection will be dismissed
when the ESC temperature drop to 65°C)
Red
4. If the voltage protection and temperature protection set off, and when the voltage and temperature become abnormal, the LED status will indicates
the problems correspondingly, but will not limit the throttle output and will not close all ESC timing.
5. If the ESC detected the motor have the driving problem (like motor rotor locked or motor phase lost problem) which can cause the motor not run
smoothly, and when the throttle trigger leave neutral position for a while, then the ESC driving abnormal protection will be activated, and the motor
will emit special tone like beep-beep-beep (note: some motors can not beep or beep with a low sound if motor have phase loss problem), and the
protection will be closed until you released the throttle trigger to neutral position for 0.2 seconds. If this problem occurs three times continuously, then
you have to solve the motor driving problem first,or the protection will exist all the time.
"BLE" (Remote connection with the CORALLY APP)
Blue LED blinks three
times, motor three
1. Reset password: When the ESC turns on, press and holding the power button around 10
beeps, throttle calibra-
seconds, the ESC will restore the BLE password to default setting 0000.
tion done
2. With the CORALLY management BLE APP, you can program parameters, upgrade firmware
and check the real-time data of the ESC.
3. Due to the range limit of BLE, the operational distance is around 10 meters. (If there are
many metals or other strong interference signals or obstacles around will short the
operational distance)
4. The BLE name can not be changed.
5. The BLE connecting will be failed during the ESC throttle calibration process.
Programmable Items
The user can program parameters at any status if the ESC turns on, and new programmed parameters will be took effect immediately, no need to
restart the ESC, it means the programming parameters can be competed online, so it can provide a very intuitive feeling between the before program-
ming and after programming. There will be some impacts on the battery/ESC/motor if you program some parameters when the motor in a high-speed
rotation. For example, if you changed the motor rotation when the motor in a high-speed rotation, then the ESC will drive the motor reverse immediate-
ly, but the motor can not be reverse immediately because of its inertia, then it will cause a big current and vibration. Or when the Boost or Turbo timing
opened, but you set it off when the motor in a high-speed rotation, it also will cause a big current, so we would like to recommend not programming
parameters when the motor in a high-speed rotation.
