RCbenchmark products are fully tested and inspected before
shipping. This product is covered by a one year warranty on

The warranty does not cover misuse, product modifications, and
reverse polarity connections. When testing at high voltage, do not
use an ESC with a break setting activated. The breaking over-
voltage could damage the power measurement circuit.

The mechanical load on the motor is controlled by changing the
throttle and by installing a propeller of different size or pitch. You
may also perform your tests at multiple voltages.
You can manually control the motor for your tests and record
your data manually or continuously. These options are available
in the "
Manual Control
" tab.
You can also use the supplied scripts in the "
Automatic Control
"
tab to test and record motor data automatically.
If you have special testing requirements, you can use our very
powerful scripting functionnality. You have access to the full
power of Javascript, can control the dynamometer, export data,
and much more through our API. Example applications include
motor certification for production or repeatable tests for
characterization and research.
