be subsequently altered through the Low Voltage protection function, if required. The ESC
will read the initial voltage of the NiCd/NiMh pack once it is plugged in and the voltage
read will then be used as a reference for the cutoff voltage threshold.
3. Low Voltage Protection Threshold (PCO): (Low / Medium / High)
1) For Li-xx packs - number of cells is automatically calculated and requires no user input
apart from defining the battery type. This ESC provides 3 setting options for the low volt-
age protection threshold; Low (2.8V)/ Medium (3.0V)/ High (3.2V). For example : the voltage
cut-off options for an 11.1V/ 3 cell Li-Po pack would be 8.4V (Low)/ 9.0V (Med)/ 9.6V (High)
2) For Ni-xx packs - low / medium / high cutoff voltages are 50%/60%/65% of the initial
voltage of the battery pack.. For example: A fully charged 6 cell NiMh pack's voltage is 1.44V
x 6 = 8.64V, when "LOW" cutoff voltage is set, the cutoff voltage is: 8.64V x 50%=4.3V and
when "High" is set, the cutoff voltage is now 8.64V X 65%=5.61V.

5. Timing setup: Automatic/ Low / High.
Automatic – ESC automatically determines the optimum motor timing
Low (7-22°) – Setting for most 2 pole motors.
High (22-30°) - setting for motors with 6 or more poles.
In most cases, automatic timing works well for all types of motors. However for high ef-
ficiency we recommend the Low timing setting for 2 pole motors (general in-runners) and
high timing for 6 poles and above (generally all outrunners). For higher speed, High timing
can be set. Some motors require different timing setups therefore we suggest you to fol-
low the manufacturer recommended setup or use the automatic timing setting if you are
unsure.
Note: Run your motor on the ground first after making any changes to your motor timing!
6.Soft Acceleration Start up: Very Soft / Soft / Linear
Very Soft – Provides initial slow 1.5 sec ramp-up from start to full rpm intended to protect
delicate gears from stripping under instant load. This setting is recommended for either
fixed wing models equipped with gearboxes and/or helicopters.
Soft Acceleration - Provides initial slow 1 sec ramp-up from start to full rpm. This setting is
recommended for either fixed wing models equipped with gearboxes and/or helicopters.
Linear – Provides quick acceleration start ups with a linear throttle response. This is recom-
mended for fixed wing models fitted with direct drive power units.
7. Active RPM Control (Heli Governor Mode)
RPM Control Off - The setting for fixed wing aircraft.
Range 1: There will be a 5-second delay from start to full rpm, but if the throttle is cutoff
after starting, then the next start will be as normal start.
Range 2: There will be a 15-second delay from start to full rpm, but if the throttle is cutoff
