Thanks for purchasing the Multifunction Program Box for ESC (Electronic Speed Controller).
Please read this manual carefully before using it.
【
FEATURE AND FUNCTION
】
The Multifunction Program Box is the equipment for setting brushless speed controllers; it works
in the following 3 ways:
1. Works as an individual equipment to set the ESC, the option of each programmable item is
displayed on its own LCD screen;
2. Works as an USB adapter to link the ESC with PC to update the ESC firmware or set the
programmable item by the USB Link Software on PC.
3. Works as a Lipo battery voltmeter to measure the voltage of the whole battery pack and
each cell.
【
SPECIFICATION
】
1. Size: 90mm * 51mm * 17mm
2. Weight:
65g
3. Power supply: DC 4.5V to 12.6V
【
COMPARED WITH THE 2 IN 1 LCD PROGRAM BOX
】
1. The Multifunction Program Box uses new MCU (microprocessor) with more memories (2
times than the previous 2 IN 1 Program Box), so only one firmware can be compatible with
all speed controllers.
2. The Multifunction Program Box has new function for Lipo battery voltage checking.

FUNCTION OF EACH BUTTON AND PORT
】
1.
“ITEM” Button
: Change the programmable items and profiles
circularly; Exit the
customized option setting process; Enter the option setting process.
2.
“VALUE” Button
: Change the options of each programmable item circularly; Edit the option
of each customized parameter circularly;
3.
“R/P” Button
: Enter or return to the profiles selection menu.
4.
“OK”: Button
: Save the settings into the ESC; Enter the customized option setting process.
5.
“Batt” Port
: Provide power supply when an OPTO ESC (that is: ESC without built-in
BEC---Battery Elimination Circuit) is connect to the program box.
6.
“ESC” Port
: Connect the ESC to program box from this port.
7.
“USB” Port
: Connect the program box to PC and also provide working voltage to the
program box (If the USB port is connected, then the power supply at “Batt” port is
unnecessary).
8.
“BATTERY CHECK”
: Connect to the balance charging connectors of the battery.
Note 1: Please pay attention to the polarity of the connectors.
Note 2: The space between pins is 2.54mm, so the “BATTERY CHECK” port is compatible
with XH, EH and HP/PQ connectors. But Thunder Power battery uses different types of
connectors so an adapter as below is needed.
【
3 WORKING WAYS
】
1.
Works as individual equipment to set the ESC without PC
1.1 Step A: Connect ESC to program box correctly according to the different type of the
ESC
a)
ESC has built-in BEC and the program port is multiplexed with Rx wire:
Disconnect the Rx wire from receiver and then plug it into the “ESC” port on the
program box.
b) ESC has built-in BEC and the separated program port (that is: the program port
is NOT multiplexed with Rx wire):
Use a program wire to connect the program box to the ESC at its program port. Most of
new ESC for RC cars uses this method to get rid of the trouble of disconnecting the Rx
wire from receiver.
2 types of program wires are available.
