High Voltage Built-in BEC

The built-in switch mode BEC with an adjustable voltage range from 5V to 8V,
a continuous current of over 7A and peak current of 18A can supply enough
power for your servos to operate efficiently.

DEO Technology

The DEO (Driving Efficiency Optimization, or so called "Active Freewheeling")
technology implemented in the ESC has multiple advantages.
● Quicker response to the throttle change.
● Higher driving efficiency, longer flight time.
● Lower ESC temperature and a more reliable operation.

Test Equipment & Conditions: Platinum 60A V4 ESC (which implemented the DEO technology) ， Platinum 50A V3 ESC (which didn’t implement the DEO technology)， Dualsky 5050 size motor, KV=430, throttle amount =85%, input=12.6V, ambient temperature=29℃.

Four Brake Modes

This Platinum 60A V4 ESC has “Brake Disabled, Normal Brake, Proportional
Brake and Reverse Brake” four brake modes. The brake amount is adjustable in
normal brake mode; in proportional brake mode, the brake force will be
automatically allocated based on the position of the radio throttle stick; in reverse
brake mode, the motor rotation can be changed via a spare transmitter channel.

Multiple Protections

Multiple protection features include, ESC thermal, capacitor thermal
(HOBBYWING-patented technology), ESC overload, throttle signal loss (or Fail Safe),
and low voltage cutoff effectively prolongs the service life of the ESC.

Multiple Protections

Other Features

A separate programming port for connecting the programmer on this ESC allows user to
● Program ESC,
● Check flight data include minimum voltage, maximum temperature, standardized RPM and
speed curve (in Heli Governing Store mode) of the flight data recorded by the ESC,
● Upgrade ESC firmware with a multifunction LCD program box or a Wi-Fi Module & our Apple/Android phone App.

Other Features

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
1. Backward installation of batteries.	1. Refer to the "+, _" mark (on the ESC/battery) and plug the battery in.
2. The input voltage was beyond the ESC operating voltage.	2. Refer to the user manual and plug in a suitable battery.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
Poor contact between the ESC and battery connectors.	Reconnect all the connectors between ESC and battery or replace those connectors

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
The battery voltage was beyond the normal operationg voltage range of the ESC.	Check the battery voltage.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
There was no throttle signal output from the TH channel of receiver.	Check if the transmitter and receiver are well bound, if the throttle cable has been plugged into the wrong channel or reversely plugged into the TH channel on the receiver.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
The throttle stick was not moved to the bottom position or the throttle range was too narrow.	Move the throttle stick to the bottom position or recalibrate the throttle range.

The ESC started to smoke right after it was powered on.

The ESC was unable to start the motor after it was powered on. And no sound was emitted from the motor.

The ESC was unable to start the motor after it was powered on, but the motor beeped a short, double beep that repeats. (Note: the interval between two beeps was 1 second)

The ESC was unable to start the motor after it was powered on, but the motor beeped "B, B, B, ..." (a short, single beep that repeats and the interval between two beeps was 2 second).

The ESC was unable to start the motor after it was powered on, but the motor beeped "BBB..." (a short, single beep that repeats rapidly).

The ESC was unable to start the motor after it was powered on, but the motor beeped "B-B-" and then some special sound.

Reversely connected those ESC-to-motor wires.

The aircraft suddenly slowed down (/the output power it received dropped dramatically)or stopped from flying.

The ESC was unable to connect a program card/box.

It was impossible to complete the ESC/radio calibration.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
Set the direction of throttle channel wrongly.	Refer to the transmitter manual and re-set the direction of throttle channel.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
1. The throttle signal was lost.	1. Consult with transmitter manufacturer, or change another transimtter that can control longer distance/wider range.
2. The LVC protection was activated.	2. Change another bettery. If it's NiMH, then please set the "battery type" to "NiMH".
3. The ESC temperature was too high and got the thermal protection activated.	3. Continue to use the ESC after it cools down
4. The BEC protection was activated.	4. Check if all the connections between electronic devices on the aircraft are normal/firm, there is no short-circuit, and the servo works normally.
5. Poor contact between the ESC and motor connections or the ESC and battery connection.	5. Check if all the gold-plated connectors are loose or poorly soldered.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
1. Reversely plugged the programming cable into the port on program box or plugged the programming cable into the wrong port on program box.	1. Refer to the silkscreen mark beneath/above the program port on the program box and plug the programming cable in.
2. Reversely plugged the programming cable into the port on ESC or plugged the programming cable into the wrong port on ESC. .	2.There is a separate programming port on the ESC , please refer to the coressponding marks and connect the ESC to a prorgram box/card via the programming cable.
3. The ESC is not compatible with the program card/box.	3. Refer to the ESC manual and change another program card. (Note: the ESC is only compatible with LCD programbox.)
4. Something wrong with the ESC or the program card.	4. Return the ESC/program card to factory for repair.

Possible Cause(s)	Solution(s)
1. Plugged the throttle cable into the wrong channel like ST channel or some other channel on the receiver.	1. Plug the throttle cable into the channel marked with "TH" letters on the receiver.
2. Reversely plugged the throttle cable into the TH channel on the receiver.	2. Check the corrensponding mark on the receiver and then plug in the throttle cable correctly.
3. Set the throttle range on the transmitter improperly.	3. Reset the throttle range on the transmitter to the default.
