Legend
Important
Warning
When powered on, the motors and propellers will rotate
very quickly and can cause serious damage or injuries
if used improperly. Always maintain caution and make
safety your top priority.
The E5000 Standard generates powerful thrust. Be
sure to operate it with caution to avoid potential safety
risks. DO NOT use the E5000 Standard if you are not an
experienced user or you are under the age of 18.
1. The maximum allowable voltage of the E5000 Standard is
52.2 V. Operate with care.
2. Always fly your aircraft in areas free of people, animals,
power lines, and other obstacles.
3. DO NOT approach or touch the motors or propellers when
the unit is powered on.
4. Before takeoff, ensure that the propellers and motors are
installed correctly and the propellers are unfolded.
5. Ensure that all parts of the aircraft are in good condition. DO NOT
y with worn or damaged parts.
6. Ensure that all parts are firmly in place and all screws are
EN
tight before each ight.
7. Only use compatible, authorized DJI parts.
Introduction
The E5000 Standard Tuned Propulsion System is designed for
multirotor aircraft with a payload of 4.5 - 7.0 kg/rotor. Waterproof and dust-proof features (the 1280S ESC is IP66 rated and
IEC 60529 compliant) allow the system to be washed, making it
ideal for industrial applications and professional photography in
demanding environments.
The brand new M10 motor features an integrated centrifugal
cooling system and annular array of cooling fins to enhance
heat dissipation. A lighter M10 Air motor is also designed for
selection. Reinforced blades and a perfected aerodynamic
design minimize rotational inertia on the foldable 28-inch Z-Blade
propellers to equip large platforms with sharp response.
The 1280S ESC uses FOC (Field-Oriented Control) algorithms
to allow for more motor responsiveness and precision control.
Additional protection functions extend the life of the ESC. When
used with the DJI N3 or A3 ight controllers, the ESC data cable
handles communication with the ight controller and also acts
as a backup throttle signal transmission cable for increased
reliability and a safer ight.
1. Parts
Foldable Propellers (CW or CCW, accessories included), Motor
(accessories included), ESC and other items can be purchased
separately on the DJI Online Store.
The E5000 ESC features a DJI optimized FOC algorithm to
offer improved performance during rotor acceleration and
deceleration. The gain values and power bandwidth must be
adjusted according to your ight control system and airframe.
The table below shows typical parameters when using the E5000
Standard with a DJI A3 ight control system, a six-rotor frame
with a diagonal distance of 1600 mm, and at a takeoff weight of
35 kg:
Tools Required: Power distribution board (PDB)*, electric
soldering iron and soldering tin
* Use a PDB which has sufcient trace spacing and current capacity,
according to the number of ESCs and the battery voltage.
EN
1) Solder the ESC’s black GND cable and red VCC cable to the pads
on the PDB. Ensure that there are no open circuits or short circuits.
2) Connect the signal cable to your ight controller. The signal
cable’s red wire transmits the control signal; the black wire is
for GND.
3) When using the ESC together with the DJI N3 or A3 flight
controller, connect the data cable to the iESC port on the ight
controller via the smart ESC communication cable for real-
time communication with the ight controller and redundant
throttle signal transmission. Arrange the cable properly if not
used, so that it will not interfere with other on-board devices.
4) Connect the motor to the ESC. Test the motors and ensure that
the rotation direction of each motor is correct. You can reverse the
rotation direction by swapping the positions of any two cables.
5) Mount the ESC at a well-ventilated place with the ESC Status
Indicator clearly visible. Placement under the frame arm is
recommended. DO NOT cover the cooling ns on the top of
the ESC to avoid overheating.

4. Mounting the Motors
The dimensions and thread sizes of the motor are illustrated
below. Ensure they are compatible with your frame arm before
mounting the motors.
Use a suitable motor mounting plate and airframe that
can withstand the large thrust delivered by the E5000
Propulsion System.
Choose the appropriate screw length and screw size
according to the depth of the assembly hole and
thickness of the motor mounting plate. Using screws
that are too long or too large may damage the motor.
When mounting or removing the motors, be careful to
prevent foreign articles from entering the motor.
EN
5. Assembling the Propellers
Threadlocker and a wrench for propeller adapter screws (M3×11
hex cap) are required.
1) Pair the propellers marked CW with the clockwise rotating motors;
pair the propellers marked CCW with the counterclockwise
rotating motors.
2) Apply threadlocker to the four screw holes on the motor.
3) Mount the propeller onto the motor, and use four propeller
adapter screws (M3×11 hex cap) to secure the propeller.
CW or CCW Mark
Ensure the screw is secured tightly for the threadlocker
to be effective.
Ensure the threadlocker is completely dry and solid before
ight to prevent the propeller from ying off the motor.
2) Connect the Updater to the ESC with the data cable and to
your computer with a Micro USB cable.
3) Connect a 12S LiPo battery to the ESC to supply power to
the system. Do not disconnect the ESC from the computer or
power supply until the conguration is complete.
4) Launch DJI Assistant 2. When a connection is established,
the software will display the connected devices.
under “Connected Devices” to enter the firmware
5) Click
update page. Check the current rmware version and ensure
the installed rmware is up to date. If not, login with your DJI
account and click the Upgrade button.
If your ESC is not recognized by DJI Assistant 2 (no
connected devices):
Check if there is more than one FTDI device connected
such as another DJI Updater, an FTDI USB adapter or
development board (e.g. a BeagleBone, Raspberry or
Arduino board). Unplug the other FTDI devices, restart
the ESC and DJI Assistant 2, and try again.
Re-connect the ESC and the power supply in the
following order: Connect the ESC to your computer,
connect the power supply to the ESC, and then launch
DJI Assistant 2.
※ When using the ESC together with the DJI N3 or A3 flight
controller, connect the data cable to the iESC port on the
flight controller via the smart ESC communication cable to
update all the connected ESCs' firmware together in the
flight controller page of DJI Assistant 2: Connect the flight
controller to DJI Assistant 2 -> N3 or A3 icon -> Firmware
Update -> ESC Firmware List.

The data above contain theoretical values measured with an input voltage of
44.4 V, for reference only. When operating at a temperature of 25°C with no
additional cooling devices, the motor cannot operate with a current more than
70 A. It can support short term operation (about 10 to 30 sec) with a current
between 40 A and 70 A, and continuous operation with a current under 40 A.
The motor run time should depend on the actual environmental temperature and
cooling conditions.

in an RLC circuit. It varies periodically as a function of the rotor position.
How do I replace the propeller blades or propeller adapters if
they are damaged?
1) Prepare two propeller blade screws (M6×22 hex cap),
four propeller adapter screws (M3×11 hex cap), and four
propeller washers.
2) Apply threadlocker to the screw holes on the motor and the
propeller adapter.
3) Assemble the propeller and tighten with two propeller
blade screws (M6×22 hex cap) so that the blades can fold
smoothly. Mount the propeller onto the motor and use four
propeller adapter screws (M3×11 hex cap) to secure the
propeller.
