Transmitter Stick Programmable Functions 

Initial throttle range setup. Perform throttle range setup before the first use of the ESC.
Remove propeller from motor while performing initial throttle range setup.
1.0 Throttle range setup (full throttle and stop).
1.1 Turn on transmitter and set throttle to maximum position.
1.2 Connect battery to ESC. After approximately 2 seconds, the LED flashes rapidly, then 1 second after you will hear 2 beeps (1 KHZ tone) confirming the maximum throttle position has been set. (If at this time, you leave the throttle stick at maximum position for over 10 seconds, the ESC will reset itself to Factory default throttle setting.)
1.3 Move throttle to minimum position within 10 seconds and hold throttle at minimum position, the LED flashes slowly for 1 second. Then you will hear 2 beeps (1 KHZ tone) indicating minimum throttle position is set and confirmed. You only need to do this once as throttle range will be stored in the memory of the speed controller. You can reset the throttle range by performing steps 1.1 to 1.3 again

2.0 Start using the ESC
2.1 Turn on the transmitter with the throttle stick set at minimum position.
2.2 Connect the battery to the ESC. The LED flashes rapidly for 1 second, and then you will hear 2 beeps (1KHZ tone) confirming minimum throttle position detected. Then you will hear one beep (1 KHZ tone) confirming the ESC is armed and ready. You¡¦re ready to fly. If you don¡¦t receive the armed confirmation the go to the trouble-shooting section

Trouble-shooting
If you hear a pulsed warning tone and/or see a continuous flashing LED after powering up the ESC:
Check your transmitter. Is it on? If yes.
Check the ESC servo connection? Connection good? If yes.
Check the motor connection to the ESC, reconnect them if necessary.
Check your battery. Fully charged? Replace battery if necessary.
Try another receiver.
Disconnect battery and then reconnect battery and start at step 2.0 again.

Speed controller programming card user manual



A total of 12 DIP switches and a send button are on the programmer.
1 is equal to ON and 0 is equal to OFF.
On is marked in the upper left hand corner of the DIP switch assembly.


[1]=ON [0]=OFF
Switch 1 [1] = factory default setting
Battery = Lipo
Brake = light brake
Motor start = 0.3sec medium soft start
Frequency = 8 KHz
Timing = automatic
[0] = user selectable setup mode.
With switch 1 in the [1] or ON position, all other DIP switch positions are ignored.
With switch 1 in the [0] or OFF position, all other DIP switch positions are used.

Switch 2 and 3 Battery type selection.
[0][0] = NICAD or NIMH cut-off to 50% power at 0.88Volts /Cell
[1][1] = Lipo cut-off to 50% power at 3.1Volts/Cell

Switch 4 and 5 Brake setup.
[0][0] brake disable.
[1][0] Light brake.
[0][1] Medium brake.
[1][1] Hard brake

Switch 6 and 7 Motor start setup.
[0][0] fast acceleration 0.15second second delay
[1][0] moderately fast acceleration 0.3 second delay
[0][1] moderately slow acceleration 0.7 second delay
[1][1] slow acceleration 1second delay

Switch 8 and 9 ESC switching frequency*
[0][0]=8KHZ
[1][0]=16KHZ
[0][1]= 32KHZ
[1][1]=RESERVED SWITCH POSITION (NO FUNCTION)
*If you don¡¦t understand this setting, leave it at 8 KHz.


Switch 10 and 11 AND 12 Timing*
[0][0][0]=AUTOMATIC
[1][0][0]= 5¢X
[0][1][0]= 12¢X
[1][1][0]= 18¢X
[0][0][1]= 25¢X
* If you don¡¦t understand this setting, just leave it on AUTOMATIC.


ESC setup with programming card

Step 1) Without the battery power connected to the ESC, plug in the servo cable of the ESC into the programmer card with the switches set to your desired position.

Step 2) Connect battery power to ESC and you will hear 3 beeps. This confirms the ESC is connected to the programmer

Step 3) Push and hold the send button of the programmer card until you hear 3 beeps of 1 second intervals. This confirms the ESC has received the setup configuration.

Step 4) Disconnect the battery from the ESC and unplug the ESC from the programmer card. Your ESC is now ready to be plugged into the receiver. Enjoy flying!
  

CAUTIONS!

¡P          NEVER reverse the polarity from battery to ESC.

¡P          Futaba transmitters should have throttle channel set to ¡§reverse¡¨.
     Always test the ESC with your transmitter and receiver before actual use.

¡P          When testing, be sure the motor is properly mounted, without propeller attached.

¡P          Be sure to check that no one is using your frequency before flight.

¡P          Always position yourself behind a spinning propeller, not in front.

¡P          Be sure to switch off the   ESC and Disconnect the Battery Pack immediately after your flight has ended.

¡P          RC aircraft power systems are dangerous.  Please act with caution accordingly.



Warranty
Scanner RC  brushless speed controllers are fully guaranteed against defects in material or workmanship for 12 months from date of purchase.  The warranty does NOT cover damage to reverse-polarity connection of the battery, water or crash damage, nor any other claim not arising from a defect in materials or assembly.  You must contact your selling dealer with details of the problem before making a return.  In most cases, the problem is an issue with radio or controller setup, and can easily be resolved at no expense to you.  Controllers returned without notice in which defects are not found will only be returned to the sender at his expense.

Crash, water, or reverse-polarity damaged Scanner RC ESC may be exchanged with your national distributor for a 40% discount on new replacement. Postage costs for crash replacement program are the user's responsibility.
