• Very sensitive control characteristic: smooth
s
tart-up.
• Sensing and computing of the actual motor
data: self adjusting clock frequency (32 kHz or
hi
gher), dynamic timing
• Start protection at power up, blocked motor
protection, over temperature
protection, over
current
limitation.
• Digital microprocessor control: therefore no
thermal
drift.
• Updatable: online firmware update possible.
• Please note, that the JIVE Pro ESC is not
PROGCARD
compatible.

Germany.
4.2 Cooling and mounting
Sufficient cooling increases the efficiency
and
lifespan of the ESC. When mounting the ESC to
the model,
make sure to mount it with the
cooling plate facing upward. If using a
heatsink, it
should be placed fins up, and uncovered. When
installing the heatsink, for the best transfer
between the cooling components, KONTRONIK
recommends attaching the heatsink with a thermal
paste. For more cooling, you may attach a fan by
screwing it onto the heat sink and plugging it
directly into the JIVE Pro.
4.3 BEC
The JIVE Pro ESC has a switched BEC.
Compared to general BEC-systems the
capacity
of the BEC is designed to be independent of the
input voltage. This allows the usage of
the BEC at
higher voltages. In addition, the JIVE Pro features
a high interference r
ejection.

BEC Voltage (default 5.6 V)
The BEC-voltage can be adjusted from 5 V to 8 V
(in 0.1 V steps) by using the programming unit.
For safety reasons, we recommend
connecting either a 2-cell LiFePo b
attery
(adjusted BEC voltage: 6,6 V – 7 V)
or a 2-cell
LiPo b
attery
(adjusted BEC voltage: 8 V)
or a
4-cell NiCd battery
(adjusted BEC voltage: 5,6
V) in parallel to the receiver.
ATTENTION: please ensure the servos and
r
eceiver are compatible with the requested
voltage
Operation without BEC:
When operating without BEC, the red receiver
cable is to be disconnected
or removed.
4.4 Torodial core
The factory mounted torodial core on
the receiver
cable allows suppression of in
terference. It must
not be removed from the
cable for security
reasons, but it can be moved, i
f necessary,
anywhere within the
cable.
Never remove the torodial core from the cable!
Itcan be moved within the cable to any
position, but
take care for tight fit of the
cablesafterwards
.
4.5 Active freewheeling circuit
To optimize the efficiency of partial load operation
and
to reduce heating of the ESC, the JIVE Pro
features an
active freewheeling circuit. The active
freewheeling circuit should not be used at very
low throttle settings as this may result in
discontinuity of motor RPM.
4.6 Part load capability
Due to its active freewheeling circuit, the ESC
may be operated in partial load conditions if you
do not exceed the JIVE Pro’s continuous current
limits during operation.
4.7 Sensorless Commutation
JIVE Pro ESCs work without sensors insi
de the
motor via a 3D recognition sys
tem. Commutation
of the motor will
automatically be optimized for the
application.
4.8 Variable clock frequency
The JIVE Pro ESC uses a clock frequency
of
32 kHz, or higher. Depending on the operational
