1.0 Safety and operating instructions

Building and operating an R/C model aircraft requires experience and knowledge.

Incorrect assembly and careless use can result in significant property damage

and/or personal injuries. For these reasons please follow the instructions carefully.

The HIMODEL ESC is developed exclusively for R/C model applications.

The HIMODEL ESC is designed for operation with Ni-Cd, Ni-MH or Li-XX batteries.

Never use the unit by connecting to any other power supply. Never connect the

HIMODEL ESC unit directly or indirectly to the 110V/AC or 230V/AC current.

At all times keep your body and any other objects away from the path of a

propeller or other spinning motor parts, when connected to a battery as objects

can be projected and/or weaken the propeller and driver, causing mechanical or

electrical failure.

Although HIMODEL ESC has safety features, taking care is still important.

Never lean over a running system.

Keep anybody, especially small children and animals, at least 20 feet (about 6

meters) away, when operating and/or testing R/C equipment.

Protect the HIMODEL ESC against vibration, dust, moisture, impact or pressure.

Check the unit regularly for damage. Should the device become wet, only reuse it

after drying thoroughly in a warm place and after careful examination. Also check

the HIMODEL ESC unit completely after any model crash. Never use a damaged

HIMODEL ESC unit!

The HIMODEL ESC can operate at temperatures between 10℃(50˚F) and 50℃

(122˚F). Always ensure the ESC is well ventilated in an aircraft.

HIMODEL ESC can be damaged by electrostatic discharge, so please always

ensure the soldering iron is earthed when soldering connectors etc.

HIMODEL ESC unit is not protected against polarity reversal; therefore you must

be sure that polarity is correct when connecting the HIMODEL ESC unit. If the

connection is the wrong way round the device will be damaged. If you want to

reverse the motor rotation, bench test the motor connections, noting the rotation

of the motor. To change the rotation of the motor, simply swap any two wires

connections to the motor or by programming it. Never reverse the battery

connection leads. Never connect battery wires directly to the motor.

Never disconnect the battery from the HIMODEL ESC when the motor is running.

This can cause high current pulses, which can damage the ESC.

Some systems are fitted with a switch to turn off the receiver, if the batteries are

not disconnected from the HIMODEL ESC unit a low residual current flows, even if

the switch is OFF, this can cause deep discharge of the battery and can damage

Lion/Li-Poly cells! Therefore please disconnect the battery from the HIMODEL ESC

after the end of a run or storing the model.

Never connect a receiver battery in parallel when using the BEC feature of the

HIMODEL ESC. This will render the BEC device useless! If you want to use a

separate receiver battery, then disconnect the red wire from the receiver-lead.

The free connector should be insulated with a piece of electrical tape or heat

http://www.HiModel.com/

shrink tube to protect it from short-circuiting. Removing the red lead from the

receiver lead will remove the BEC facility and a receiver battery can be connected

without any danger. The permissible BEC load, which depends of the cells number

and type of the battery pack, is listed below.

Attention! Digital Micro servos have a very high current drain, that means that

the indicated number of Servos has, if necessary, to be decreased.

Mount your radio equipment, especially the receiver with its antenna, as far as

possible from HIMODEL ESC unit, battery and motor. Otherwise, high frequency

magnetic fields could affect the receiver. Always do a range test with the motor

running at low speed, to make sure of perfect functioning of your model.

For any connection you should use good quality plugs and sockets, which must be

soldered perfectly to the wires. Never use strip connectors, crimp connectors or

similar.

Connect the HIMODEL ESC lead to the throttle channel on your receiver. Don’t

operate the HIMODEL ESC with a servo tester; because it is possible the motor or

controller can be damaged due to incorrect “throttle pulses”. For this reason we,

also, strongly recommend only using receivers from reputable and reliable

manufacturers!

HIMODEL ESC units are equipped with an extensive protection device, which can

only protect when operating in a “normal” fashion. For example if you get a motor

winding short-circuiting, or connecting wire short circuit etc, the HIMODEL ESC

unit could be damaged or destroyed.

2.0 Limitation of liability

HIMODEL and its vendors have no control over the correct use, installation,

application, or maintenance of the HIMODEL ESC, no liability shall be assumed

nor accepted for any damages, losses or costs resulting from the use of the

product. Any claims arising from the operating, failure or malfunctioning etc. will

be denied. HIMODEL assumes no liability for personal injury, property damage or

consequential damages resulting from our product or our workmanship.

3.0 Features of the HIMODEL ESC

HIMODEL ESC unit is a highly developed electronic device, which can, through

setting be made compatible to various types of brushless motors. The compact

dimensions and low weight make it a good choice for small model aircraft.

For all the different types, which are individually described below, you will find the

correct programming for various applications.

The HIMODEL ESC has many powerful features, which include:

• Microprocessor controlled

• User Programmable

• High rate (10 KHz) switching (PWM)

• Six to twelve NiCad, Ni-MH cells or two to four Li-poly cells with receiver

• Up to ten NiCad, Ni-MH cells or three Li-poly cells with three micro servos

• Twelve NiCad, Ni-MH cells or four Li-poly cells MAX (with BEC disabled)

• Dynamic braking ensures prompt prop folding

• BEC (1.0A) provides power to receiver and servos - eliminates the

requirement of a separate receiver battery

• Over heat/temperature protection

• Low-voltage protection - the value of low-voltage cutoff can be set.

• Cutoff can be programmed for motor stop or reduced power

• Brake Type

• Throttle Range

• Timing Advance

• Safe “power on” arming program ensures motor will not accidentally turn

• Low torque “soft start” prevents damage to fragile gearboxes

• Auto shut down in 4sec after when signal is lost or radio interference

becomes severe

• Change of motor rotation.

4.2 Adding the Battery Connector

The battery connector is attached to the side of the controller that has only TWO

power wires (black and red), which also has the radio connector.

Cut the wires to the length you require.

Strip off of the wire insulation to expose just enough wire to attach the battery

connector. (Note: if you do not have a pair of wire strippers, you can use a

modeling knife to careful cut through the insulation around the wire.)

Attach the battery connector to the wires ENSURING THAT THE POLARITY (red

wire to battery red wire, black wire to battery black wire) IS CORRECT, following

the instructions for the battery connector.

IMPORTANT NOTE: YOU MUST BE SURE THAT THE POLARITY IS CORRECT WHEN

CONNECTING THE SPEED CONTROLLER. INCORRECT POLARITY COULD

PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE CONTROLLER.

4.3 Connecting the Motor

The motor is connected to the side of the controller that has THREE power wires

(Red). Cut the wires to the length you require.

DO NOT CUT the wires leading from the motor.

Strip the wire insulation to expose just enough wire to solder the wires to the

motor leads.

There should be three wires extending from the motor.

Connect the three speed control wires to the three motor wires.

Align the wires carefully and solder to the motor wires.

Ensure that all connections are insulated.

Ensure that all connections (battery and motor) are correctly polarized.

4.4 Reversing Rotation

Bench test the motor connections noting the rotation of the motor. To change the

rotation of the motor, you can swap any two motor wire connections or via the

programmable the ESC directly or via a PC.

4.5 Connecting the Receiver

Connect the receiver lead (the three color twisted wires with a connector on the

end) to the throttle channel on your receiver. Do not connect a battery to the

receiver, as the HIMODEL ESC will supply power to the receiver and servos

through the receiver connector.

If you are using more than twelve cells, you must use a separate receiver battery.

See the section 7.0 (under the heading BEC) for instructions on disabling the BEC

to use a separate receiver battery.

5.0 Using your HIMODEL ESC in the first time

The HIMODEL ESC controller has been designed to be used with brushless motors.

This ESC can be adapted for many battery types, brushless motors, receivers and

propellers. It may not suit all types, so please check the specifications of the

controller and your choice of motor etc first.

The intelligent programming systems make the HIMODEL ESC very powerful and

flexible, such as the start-up procedure for example standard controllers can

make the propeller pulse the wrong way at first, then change, but the HIMODEL

ESC controller has a new program which would turn the propeller the correct way

from the start. If it starts rough, don't throttle up, wait for a second or two and

the ESC will calibrate itself.

A single beep mostly indicates that the controller is armed! When you next move

the throttle stick, the motor will start running. If the HIMODEL ESC beeps twice

when the transmitter stick is at the brake position, you must disconnect the

power to the controller and operate the servo reverse facility on your transmitter,

otherwise the controller would arm itself (single beep) at the full-throttle setting

of your transmitter and would run at full throttle with the stick at the “stopped”

position-the exact opposite of what is required.

We advise you to test your system before flying to make sure your system is safe

and effective.

http://www.HiModel.com/

6.0 Flying with the HIMODEL ESC

ALWAYS PERFORM A RANGE CHECK BEFORE FLYING WITH ANY NEW SPEED

CONTROLLER!

PERFORM A RANGE CHECK AT FULL THROTTLE, HALF THROTTLE AND NO

THROTTLE.

Initialization sequence:

6.1 Connect the speed controller receiver connector to the proper channel on your

receiver.

6.2 Turn on your transmitter, and set the throttle stick to closed or lowest

position.

6.3 Connect the main power battery to the speed controller, you should hear a

“beep”, and see the LED “flash” once.

6.4 The speed controller will remain disarmed (will not operate) until it sees more

than two seconds of “brake” throttle. Then you will hear a “beep” or double

“beep”, at the same time, the LED will “flash” once or twice.

One “beep” and one “flash” means no brake, double “beep” and two “flashes”

means braking is enabled.

6.5 Now your ESC is operational and you can fly after making sure all servos are

set up correctly and secure etc.

If the motor cuts off when you are flying, you must put the throttle to the lowest

position, and then you can restart the motor and use low throttle, land your

model as soon as you can.

Check your battery voltage, as the BEC will cutoff too if the voltage drops too low.
