Bluetooth Naming
The Bluetooth naming rule is “approximate model” + “-” + “ESC code ID”, for example: “XC_E3-1C89”. Even if the Bluetooth name is changed by the user, the ESC code ID is retained to avoid two devices with the same name.
Recover Factory Parameters
Restore Bluetooth to factory settings
- Step 1: Connect ESC wire (the white wire) to BEC+ (red wire)
- Step 2: Turn on ESC
- Step 3: Disconnect from BEC when green light off and red light on
- Step 4: Remove short circuiting
When boot is activated, Bluetooth is restored to factory value (password restored to 1234 and name restored to the factory state). Then restart ESC. If there is a hardware error, Boot can be activated in this way to upgrade hardware.
Restore parameters to factory settings
To restore parameters to factory settings, click the default button on the APP parameter page.
LED Status & Beep Instructions
| Throttle not zeroed | Red light flashes quickly | Long tone “beep” | Red light flashes quickly |
| Throttle signal lost | Red light flashes slowly | Long tone “beep” | In cycle of 2s |
| Low voltage protection | (Red x1, Green x2) … | Long tone “beep” x1, Short tone “beep” x2 | Check input voltage or cell setting if no “beep” before MOSFET detecting |
| Over voltage protection | (Red x1, Green x3) … | Nil | Voltage is too high; check whether voltage is over the withstand value of ESC |
| MOS temperature too high | (Red x1, Green x4) … | Long tone beep x1, short tone beep x4 | Operating temp. > 125°C / startup temp. > 110°C; resumes when MOS temp drops below 100°C |
| Capacitor temperature too high | (Red x1, Green x5) … | Long tone beep x1, short tone beep x5 | Operating temp. > 105°C / startup temp. > 100°C; resumes when temp drops below 100°C |
| Abnormal throttle parameters | (Red x1, Green x7) … | Long tone beep x1, short tone beep x7 | If still abnormal at neutral, initiate throttle calibration |
| Hall sensing abnormality | (Red x1, Green x8) … | Long tone beep x1, short tone beep x8 | Re-plug Hall wire; if persists, motor Hall may be the issue and Hall wire may need to be unplugged |
| Calibration success | (Red Green) x4 | (so-mi-do) x4 | |
| All normal (no throttle action) | (Green) … | Nil | |
| Throttle operation (normal) | Green flashes faster with more throttle | Nil | |
| Turbo timing is on | Green light remains on | Nil | |
| Braking | Red light is on | Nil | Red light off when release brake |
| Boot in progress | Green light: On 2s & Off 2s; Red light remains flashing | Nil | Duration of red light on = time of flash operation |
| Normal startup (cell count prompt) | Quinary prompt light signal: long tone with red light on; short tone with green light on | do, mi, so + quinary prompt sound | Quinary definition: long tone = 5 cells; short tone = 1 cell. Example (8S): do, ri, mi + long tone x1 + short tone x3 |
| MOS open circuit | (Red x2) … | Nil | Unplug motor wire; if abnormalities remain, ESC needs inspection |
| MOS short circuit | (Red x2, Green x1) … | Nil | Unplug motor wire; if abnormalities remain, ESC needs inspection |
| Abnormal sampling circuit of current | (Red x2, Green x2) … | Nil | Unplug motor wire; if abnormalities remain, ESC needs inspection |
Notes:
1) Red light matches long tone; green light matches short tone.
2) For saving power, all “beeps” last for 5 mins; if faults recover, it takes effect again in the next 5 mins.
3) “...” indicates repetition of the previous action.
Start Process
- Check whether the circuit is open, short circuit, or in poor contact.
- Check whether the motor is stuck.
- Plug in the power cable.
- Turn on the power button.
When the battery prompt tone is heard, startup is normal. If throttle is normal, throttle operation can be performed normally.
Set the Throttle Range
- Keep the ESC off; move the throttle to the end point of reversal; power up the ESC; wait for red light and green light to stop flashing (about 5s).
- Move throttle to the end point of forward within 1s and hold it; wait for green light to stop flashing.
- Move throttle to neutral position within 1s and hold it; wait for red light to stop flashing.
- Success prompt repeats four times (red light and green light on + motor beep “so, mi, do” + red/green lights off + 0.2s vacancy). Failure prompt: no signs; ESC powers on.
Precautions
- Do not connect ESC input wires DC+ and DC- in reverse; reverse connection may damage the ESC and warranty service may not be provided in this case.
- If a Hall sensor is used, check the motor phase wires and Hall wiring.
- For motors without temperature sensors, long-term high-power operation may cause burnout.
- Some motors’ mechanical structures cannot support high speed; forcibly increasing speed may damage the motor.
- If not used for more than 1 hour, unplug the power wires of the ESC.
- If any modifications are made to wiring, check the circuit carefully before use; open throttle slowly to confirm there are no errors before normal operation.
