RAID Tamco Instruction Manual & Parts Catalogue - Throttle Range Settings
S10E Electronic Speed Controller
Features
►
Water-proof and dust-proof. The ESC can work under water for a short time.
Please remove the cooling fan when running car in water, and after running,
please make the ESC clean and then dry it to avoid the oxidation to copper connectors
►
Specially designed for RC cars with excellent start-up, acceleration and linearity features.
►
Compatible with sensor-less brushless motor.
►
2 Running modes suitable for different applications. “Forward with brake” mode,
& “Forward/Backward with brake” mode.
►
Proportional ABS brake function with 4 steps of maximum brake
force adjustment, 8 steps of drag-brake force adjustment.
►
4 Start modes (“Punch”) from “Soft” to “Very aggressive” to be suitable
for different chassis, tires and tracks.
►
Multiple protection features: Low voltage cut-off protection for Li-po or
NiMH battery / Over-heat protection / Throttle signal loss protection /
Motor blocked protection.
►
Easily programmed with the “SET” button on the ESC
Throttle Range Settings
In order to make the ESC match the throttle range, you must calibrate after
changing the settings of the neutral position of the throttle channel, ATV or
EPA parameters, otherwise the ESC cannot work properly.
There are 3 points that need to be set, they are the top point of “forward”,”
backward” and the neutral point.
The following pictures show how to set the throttle range.
A)
Switch off the ESC, turn on the transmitter, set the direction of throttle
channel to ”REV”, set the “EPA/ATV” value of throttle channel to “100%”, and
disable the “ABS” brake function of your transmitter.
B)
Hold the “SET” key and then switch on the ESC, when the red LED begins
to flash, release the key immediately.
C)
Set the THREE points according to the steps shown in the picture on the
right side.
1 - Neutral point
2 - End point of forward direction
3 - End point of backward direction
D)
When the process of calibration is finished, the motor can be started after
3 seconds.
Note: If you don’t release the “SET” key after the red LED begins to flash, the
ESC will enter the program mode, in such a case, please switch off the ESC
and re-calibrate the throttle range again from step A to step D.
LED Status & Alerts
Normal - LED
A) In normal use, if the throttle stick is in the neutral range, neither the red LED nor the green LED lights.
B) The red LED lights when the car is run forward or backward and it will flash quickly when the car is braking.
C) The green LED lights when the throttle stick is moved to the top point of the forward zone (that is: full throttle).
Alert Tones
1. Input voltage abnormal alert tone: The ESC begins to check the input voltage when power on, if it is out of the normal range, such an alert tone will
be emitted: “beep-beep-, beep-beep-, beep-beep-” (There is 1 second time interval between every “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 emitted: “beep-, beep-, beep-”
(There is 2 seconds time interval between every “beep-” tone).
Protection Function
1. Low voltage cut-off protection: If the voltage of a Li-po battery pack is lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the ESC will cut of the output power.
Please note that the ESC cannot be restarted if the voltage of each Lipo cell is lower than 3.5V.
For NiMH battery packs, if the voltage of the whole NiMH battery pack is higher than 9.0V but lower than 12V, it will be considered as a 3S Li-po; If it
is lower than 9.0V, it will be considered as a 2S Li-po. For example, if the NiMH battery pack is 8.0V, and the threshold is set to 2.6V/Cell, it is
considered as a 2S Li-po, and the low-voltage cut-off threshold for this NiMH battery pack is 2.6*2=5.2V.
2. Over-heat protection: When the temperature of the ESC is over a factory pre-set threshold for 5 seconds, the ESC will cut off the output power. You
can disable the over-heat protection function for competition race.
3. Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will cut off the output power if the throttle signal is lost for 0.2 second.
