• Several programmable parameters
PRECAUTIONS & WARNINGS
Read these instructions carefully before using your new TENSORIC 8!
Avoid using a wrong gear ratio by continuously monitoring the motor and controller
temperature.
Make sure that the motor temperature does not exceed 80 ° C and the controller temperature
does not exceed 90 °C.
ASSEMBLY
When mounting, ensure that the position of the controller is in a way that it is protected.
Make sure that you have after the installation an easy as possible access to the switch, as well
as setup button of the controller.
Please ensure that after installation, no cables can drag on free-standing shafts, or gears. Try
to place electrical components eg. receiver away from the controller as far as possible.
The TENSORIC 8 is equipped with 3 cables with 4mm gold contact on the motor output side.
For connection of the battery there are two DEAN-T Plugs, wired in the way that you will end
up with 4s connecting 2 times 2s batteries.
CONECTION OF CONTROLLER AND MOTOR
Connect the TENSORIC 8 to your throttle channel (mostly channel 2) on your receiver.
Connect motor and controller as follows:
controller: cable A
motor: connection A
•
controller: cable B
motor: connection B
•
controller: cable C
motor: connection C
•
Sensored brushless motor wiring
When using brushless motor with Hall Sensor，it is necessary to connect the sensor cable to
the "SENSOR" port on the ESC, and ESC can automatically identify the motor type
(sensored or sensorless) by detecting the signal coming from the SENSOR port.
Sensorless brushless motor wiring
When using brushless motor without Hall Sensor, the #A, #B, #C wires of the ESC can be
connected with the motor wires freely (without any sequence). If the motor runs in the opposite
direction, please swap any two wire connections.
WARNING!
For sensored brushless motor, the #A, #B, #C wires of the ESC MUST be connected with the
motor wire #A, #B, #C respectively. Do not change the wires sequence optionally!
CONNECTION OF CONTROLLER AND BATTERY
Connect battery 1 and battery 2 via the DEAN-T plug with the controller.
Check the wiring before first use!
Attention!
A reverse polarity connection of your batteries will destroy the controller!
CONTROLLER CALIBRATION
In order to ensure a proper function of your controller you have to adjust your controller to your
transceiver.
To start with the calibration please reset all functions on your transceiver.
Please follow the steps below to calibrate your controler
1.
Turn off your controller and transceiver.
2.
Set your throttle trim on neutral and the range at 100%. Reactivate special
functions like ABS eg.
3.
Push and hold the "SET"-button (located at the on/off switch) and turn on the
controller.
4.
Release the "SET"-button as soon as the LED is flashing red.
5.
Set the following positions on your transceiver and confirm with the "SET" but-
ton:
Neutral (LED flashing 1 time)
o
o
Full throttle (LED flashing 2 times)
o
Full break/backwards (LED flashing 3 times)
6.
The Motor will quit with a beep for 3 seconds after the last step. Then you have
succesfully finished.
7.
Turn off your controller.
CHECK THE LED STATUS IN NORMAL RUNNING
Normally, if the throttle stick is in the neutral range, neither the red LED nor the green LED
lights.
The red LED lights when the car is running forward or backward and it will flash quickly when
the car is braking.
The green LED lights when the throttle stick is moved to the top point of the forward zone.
ALLERT TONES
1.
Input voltage abnormal alert tone: The ESC begins to check the input voltage
when powered on, if the voltage is out of the normal range, such an alert tone
will be heard: "beep-beep-, beep-beep-, beep-beep-" (There is 1 second inter-
val between every group of "beep-beep-" tone).
2.
Throttle signal abnormal alert tone: When the ESC can't detect the normal
throttle signal, such an alert tone will be heard: "beep-, beep-, beep-" (There is
2 seconds interval between every "beep-" tone).
ADVANCED SETTINGS
By using the setup – button or the Hacker PROGBOX it is possible to have some advanced
setups.
Please follow the steps below: Further information you will find at the end of the manual.
1. Switch on the controller
2. Push and hold the setup-button, until the green LED is flashing. Release the setup – button
as soon as the LED is flashing green
3. Push the setup – button once again.
4. The green LED is flashing a single signal to identicate the setting 1.
5. To rotate through the advanced setup menu push the setup button again shortly
6. To change a setting, press and hold (at the desired setting), the setup button for 3 seconds.
7. The red LED display is now the value of the setting:
LED blinks 1 time, for the value 1, LED blinks 2 times, the value 2, etc.
8. Press the Set button to change the value.
9. If you have set the desired value, press and hold the Set button for 3 seconds to save the
change.
10. Switch off the controller in order to activate the new setup
Please note:
You can chance only one setting at the time. After every single change you have to switch off
and switch on the controller
SETTING OPTIONS
Explanation for each programmable item
1. "Running Mode" with "Forward with Brake" mode, the car can go forward and brake, but
cannot go backward, this mode is suitable for competition; "Forward/Reverse with Brake" mode
provides backward function, which is suitable for daily training.
2. "Forward/Reverse with Brake" mode uses "Double-click" method to make the car go
backward. When you move the throttle stick from forward zone to backward zone for the 1st
time (The 1st "click"), the ESC begins to brake the motor, the motor speeds down but it is still
running, not completely stopped, so the backward action is NOT active immediately. When the
throttle stick is moved to the backward zone for the 2nd time (The 2nd "click"), if the motor
speed is slowed down to zero (i.e. stopped), the backward action will happen. The "Double-
Click" method prevents mistaken reversing action when the brake function is frequently used in
steering. By the way, in the process of brake or reverse, if the throttle stick is moved to forward
zone, the motor will run forward at once.
3. "Forward/Reverse" mode uses "Single-click" method to make the car go backward. When
you move the throttle stick from forward zone to backward zone, the car will go backward
immediately. This mode is usually used for the Rock Crawler.
Drag Brake Force:
Set the amount of drag brake applied at neutral throttle to simulate the slight braking
effect of a neutral brushed motor while coasting.
Low Voltage Cut-Off:
The function prevents the lithium battery pack from over discharging. The ESC detects
the battery's voltage at any time, if the voltage is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the
output power will be reduced 70%, after 10 seconds the output will be completely stopped, and
the red LED flashes in such a way:"☆-☆-, ☆-☆-, ☆-☆-".
There are 6 preset options for this item. You can customize the cutoff threshold by using an
advanced LCD program box (optional equipment) to trim it with a step of 0.1V, so it will be
more suitable for all kinds of batteries (NiMH, NiCd, Li-ion, Lipo, LFP,etc). Please always keep
in mind that the customized value is not for each cell, it is for the WHOLE battery pack.
Start Mode:
Select from "Level1" to "Level9" as you like, Level1 has a very soft start effect, while level9 has
a very aggressive start effect. From Level1 to Level9, the start force is increasing. Please note
that if you choose "Level7" to "Level9" mode, you must use good quality battery pack with
powerful discharge ability, otherwise these modes cannot get the burst start effect as you want.
If the motor cannot run smoothly (the motor is trembling), it may caused by the weak discharge
ability of the battery pack, please choose a better battery or increase the gear ratio (Use a
smaller pinion).
Maximum Brake Force:
The ESC provides proportional brake function. The brake force is related to the position of the
throttle stick. Maximum brake force refers to the force when the throttle stick is located at the
top point of the backward zone. A very large brake force can shorten the brake time, but it may
damage the gears. The "Disable" option inhibits the inherent brake function of the speed
controller. When this option is selected, the brake function is realized by a traditional disc-brake
system driven by a servo.
Maximum Reverse Force:
Sets how much power will be applied in the reverse direction. Different value makes different
reverse speed.
Initial Brake Force:
It is also called "minimum brake force", and it refers to the force when the throttle stick
is located at the initial position of the backward zone. The default value is equal to the
drag brake force, so the brake effect can be very smoothly.
Neutral-Range
This setting affects the sensitivity of the control response around neutral.
Timing
The "timing" item is usable for both sensored and sensorless brushless motors. There are
many differences among structures and parameters of different brushless motors, so a fixed
timing ESC is difficult to comparate with all brushless motors. It is necessary to make the
timing value programmable. Please select the most suitable timing value according to the
motor you are just using. Generally, higher timing value brings out higher power output, but the
whole efficiency of the system will be slightly reduced.
Motor Rotation:
You can use this item to change the rotation direction. Face to the motor shaft (That means the
rear cover of the motor is far from your face), and move the throttle stick to the top point of the
forward zone. If this item is set to "CCW", the shaft runs counter-clockwise; If this item is set to
"CW", the shaft runs clockwise.
