2. Throttle Range Setting (Throttle Range Calibration)

  

In order to make the ESC match the throttle range, you must calibrate it when you begin

to use a new ESC, or a new transmitter, or after changing the settings of the neutral

position of throttle channel, ATV or EPA parameters, otherwise the ESC cannot work

properly. There are 3 points need to be set, they are the top point of “forward”,

” backward” and the neutral point. The following pictures show how to set the throttle

range 

A) Switch off the ESC, turn on the transmitter, set the direction of throttle channel to

”REV”, set the “EPA/ATV” value of throttle channel to “100%”, and disable the “ABS”

brake function of your transmitter. (*Note 2)

B) Hold the “SET” key and then switch on the ESC, when the red LED begins to flash,

release the key immediately.(Please check the picture on the right side)

C) Set the THREE points according to the steps shown in the picture on theright side.

1) Neutral point

2) End point of forward direction

3) End point of backward direction

D) When the process of calibration is finished, the motor can be started after 3 seconds.

Note2:

 If you don’t release the “SET” key after the red LED begins to flash, the ESC will

enter the program mode, in such a case, please switch off the ESC and re-calibrate the

throttle range again from step A to step D.
