[. . . ] Leave it in this position and then connect the battery to the controller. Wait for 5 seconds, and the ESC will give two sets of fast ringing tones to indicate you have successfully entered the programming mode. Once you hear these tones, move the stick to center (between 1. 4 and 1. 7ms) for 5 seconds, and the controller will beep 1 time, indicating you are now in Menu 1. The controller will now wait 5 seconds for you to make your selection; your programming options are either full throttle (>1. 7ms) or idle (<1. 3ms). When you have made a valid selection, the control will beep once with a lower tone, and you can move the stick back to center for the next menu item (2 beeps, 3 beeps and so on). If you do not make a selection within 5 seconds, the controller will move to the next menu item. If you want to make changes in the programming menus (see specific instructions below) move the throttle stick to full throttle (>1. 7ms) position. You will have 5 seconds to make your selection. If you want to advance to the next menu, allow the programming to skip to the next menu after the 5 seconds have expired. Connecting the ESC to the Motor The three wires from the motor connect to the three female gold bullet connectors on the ESC. The order of connection to the motor is not important; any motor wire can be plugged into any connector. If the motor runs backwards, you can simply unplug and switch any two of the motor wire plugs connected to the ESC. Mounting the ESC Choose a location that has good airflow and offers good protection. Do not cover the side with the flat heat shield with hook and loop or tape as this will greatly reduce its effectiveness. Mount the ESC with a combination of hook and loop, 2-sided foam tape, and/or tie wraps. Turn on your transmitter and ensure the position of the throttle stick is set to Idle/Off. Plug the battery pack into the controller. You will hear 1 low long tone to indicate startup, then the respective number of medium-length mid tones to indicate the cell count or a musical tone for the 74% cutoff, followed by 3 rising tones to indicate the controller is armed. When you move the throttle stick upward, the motor will run. Continue to move the throttle stick upward to the full throttle (high) position, and the motor will run faster. When the throttle stick goes below the start-up position, the motor will stop running. Check servo motion as part of your preflight check. It is very important to make sure linkages are free-moving with no binding. Remember, when in the programming mode: Full Throttle = Stick Up Idle = Stick Down The default settings (from the package) for your E-flite 30-Amp Pro ESC are as follows: · · · · · Voltage cutoff set at 74% Brake set to Off Timing set at 15 degrees Throttle Input Range set at 1. 2ms to 1. 8ms Start-up Rate (Acceleration Delay) set at 0. 25 seconds Programming Menu 1--Voltage Cutoff Use this option to set the voltage at which the controller will shut down the motor to prevent damage to your battery when it reaches the cutoff voltage.
