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.
AGES
The E5000 Pro generates powerful thrust. Be sure to
operate it with caution to avoid potential safety risks. DO
NOT use the E5000 Pro if you are not an experienced
user or you are under the age of 18.
1. The maximum allowable voltage of the E5000 Pro is 52.2 V.
Operate with care.

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
tight before each ight.
7. Only use compatible, authorized DJI parts.

Introduction
The E5000 Pro Tuned Propulsion System is designed for
multirotor aircraft with a payload of 4.5 - 7.0 kg/rotor. The system
can be washed, making it ideal for industrial applications and
aerial imaging in demanding environments.
The brand new M10 motor features an integrated centrifugal
cooling system and annular array of cooling ns to enhance heat
dissipation. 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 1280X 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
The Powertrain (CW or CCW, screws included), Smart ESC
Communication Cable and Updater can be purchased
separately on the DJI Online Store.

2. Flight Controller Settings
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 Pro 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:

3. Mounting the Powertrains
Use a suitable airframe that can withstand the large thrust
delivered by the E5000 Propulsion System.
The powertrains are compatible with frame arms with
an outer diameter of 30 mm. Mount the powertrains to
appropriate frame arms only.
Identify the clockwise and counter-clockwise marks
on the propellers and mount the powertrains onto the
corresponding frame arms.
1) Pull the cables of the powertrain through the frame arm. Then
insert the frame arm into the powertrain arm.
2) Align the components so that the propeller is oriented upright
after assembly.
3) OPTIONAL: Use an appropriate screw and holding base or rivet
EN
(for the reserved mounting hole
of the powertrain arm to achieve optimal performance.
4) Apply threadlocker to the two arm screw holes. Then insert and
tighten two screws (M4×14 hex socket).
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 powertrain coming loose.

4. Connecting the Cables
Power Cables
(Red, VCC; Black, GND)
Signal Cable
(To the ight controller)
Data Cable (For communication
& rmware update)
1) Solder the red VCC cable and black GND cable of each
powertrain to the frame’s power system. Make sure that the solder
points are strong and that there is no chance for a short circuit.
2) Connect the signal cable to your ight controller. The signal
cable’s red wire transmits the control signal; the black wire is
for ground.
3) When using the powertrain together with the DJI N3 or A3 ight
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 flight controller and redundant throttle
signal transmission. Arrange the cable properly if not used, so
that it will not interfere with other on-board devices.
2) Connect the Updater to the powertrain with the data cable
and to your computer with a Micro USB cable.
3) Connect a 12S LiPo battery to the powertrain to supply power
to the system. Do not disconnect the powertrain 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.

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.
