For best performance, operation at the recommended take-off weight is advised. Avoid overweight operation, as exceeding 1.2x the maximum recommended take-off weight can significantly affect performance and safety.
ESC Operation & Protection
Operation instructions
- Turn on the transmitter with the throttle stick at the lowest position.
- Connect the system to the battery. The motor will emit a long “Ding------” tone indicating the ESC is ready for normal startup.
ESC protection functions
- Stall protection: Attempts motor restart after stall detection. If normal startup fails after a period, output is cut. Return PWM throttle signal to 0% to clear the error; normal operation resumes after restarting.
- Overcurrent protection: If current approaches short-circuit levels for an extended period, output is cut off. Repower the ESC to resume normal operation.
- MOS over-temperature warning: When MOS temperature exceeds 105°C, warning lights flash until MOS temperature drops below 65°C.
- Power-on overvoltage/undervoltage protection: On power-on, voltage below 9 V or above 28 V triggers an overvoltage/undervoltage alarm and prevents normal motor startup.
- Throttle signal loss protection: Output is cut immediately when throttle signal loss is detected; output resumes automatically when the signal is restored.
Audible tone explanations
| Sound pattern | Meaning |
| “Di, Di, Di” (rapid short beeps) | Throttle not at zero position |
| “Di---” (repeating short beep) | Throttle signal lost |
| “Di--- Di---” (repeating two short beeps + two short light flashes) | ESC power-on self-test: Voltage too low (<9 V) |
| “Di--- Di--- Di---” (repeating three short beeps + three short light flashes) | ESC power-on self-test: Voltage too high |
Flash light instructions
| Flash pattern | Meaning |
| Single short flash (repeating) | Overcurrent |
| Two short flashes (repeating) | Motor stall |
| Three short flashes (repeating) | MOS over-temperature |
| Four short flashes (repeating) | Capacitor over-temperature |
| One long + two short flashes (repeating) | Throttle signal lost |
| Two long + three short flashes (repeating) | MOS self-test abnormal |
Applications
- Training UAV / training drone platforms
- Expanded multi-scenario use: aerial photography, surveying, mapping, and public safety tasks
