2. Safety instructions
The KOLIBRI is a product that is designed
exclusively
for
radio-controlled
model
applications. Under no circumstances the
KOLIBRI should be used in manned
applications!
Always ensure sufficient cooling to prevent
overheating of the ESC.
• When connecting the motor and battery to the
ESC, it is very important to keep a sufficient
safety distance from all moving parts of the
aircraft (such as main blades or propellers).
Misuse may result in an unintended motor start.
Any sudden starting of the motor with main
blades or propellers may cause considerable
injuries. Only use the ESC when property and
personal belongings are out of harms way.
• Do not disconnect the ESC from the battery
during operation.
• Electrostatic discharge may damage the ESC.
Ensure adequate grounding if necessary.
• Do not use a mechanically or electronically
damaged ESC as this may result in sudden
failure.
• The ESC may only be operated with batteries.
The use of a power supply is not permitted.
• The ESC is not to be connected in any way to a
110 / 230 V AC socket.
• When using high capacity batteries always
ensure sufficient cooling.
• Extending the battery or motor cables can affect
the EMC characteristics. Any extension of the
cables is at your own risk!
• Only use a tie-meter for current measurements.
Inserted-meter or shunt can damage the ESC.
• When using the BEC (to power your control
system) always connect a fully charged receiver
battery with enough capacity in addition (also
see BEC 4.3). Malfunctions, e.g. by a cable
break, short circuit, slack joint or failure of a BEC
component will lead to a loss of the entire
receiver system.
