CAUTIONS

Features

• Special core program for multi-rotor controllers greatly improves throttle response.

• DEO (Driving Efficiency Optimization) technology significantly improves throttle linearity and driving

efficiency.

• High intelligent and adaptive default settings like auto-adjusting timing meet almost all applications.

• The twisted-pair design of the throttle signal cable effectively reduces the crosstalk produced in

signal transmission and makes flight more stable.

• Compatible with various flight-control systems and supports a signal frequency of up to 621Hz.

(Note: all throttle signals over 500Hz are non-standard signals.)

• The high-light LED position on the XRotor Pro 50A ESC saves the trouble of mounting any extra

color light on multi-rotors.

• The DIP switches at the bottom of the XRotor Pro 50A ESC control the ESC ON/OFF status, color of

the LED light, ON/OFF of the DEO function and the motor rotation.

User Guide

Throttle Calibration & ESC Programming

Users need to calibrate the throttle range when they start to use a new XRotor brushless ESC or another transmitter.

Normal Start-up Process and Protections

Turn on the transmitter and move the throttle stick to the bottom position.

• Start-up Protection: The ESC will shut down the motor if it fails to start the motor normally within 2 seconds by increasing the throttle value. In this case, you need to move the transmitter throttle stick back to

the bottom position and restart the motor. (Possible causes of this problem: poor connection/ disconnection between the ESC and motor wires, propellers are blocked, etc.)

• Over-load Protection: The ESC will cut off the power/output when the load suddenly increases to a very high value. Normal operation will not resume until the throttle stick is moved back to the neutral position.

The ESC will automatically attempt to restart when the motor and the ESC are out of sync.

• Throttle Signal Loss Protection: When the ESC detects loss of signal for over 0.25 second, it will cut off the output immediately to avoid an even greater loss which may be caused by the continuous high-speed

rotation of propellers or rotor blades. The ESC will resume the corresponding output after normal signals are received.

Trouble shooting

Connect the receiver to the

battery and ensure the transmitter

and receiver are well bound, and

then power on the ESC.

Switch #4

(Motor Rotation)

Off

The motor will emit a long “beep —“1 second after the system is connected to the battery indicating the ESC is armed and the multi-rotor is ready to go.

the bottom position 3 seconds after you hear the corresponding

beeps, then the programming of that item is complete.

With the DEO ON, for better throttle linearity, the ESC will automatically brake and quickly

reduce the motor speed when decreasing the throttle amount. This can remarkably improve

the movement of the multi-rotors and the stability of its flight direction. Moreover, this also

Trouble

The ESC was unable to start the motor.

Warning Tone

“Beep beep beep…” (The motor beeps rapidly)

“Beep, beep, beep......”

（Time interval is 1 second）

“BB, BBB, BBBB” (These tones are played circularly)

Possible Cause

The throttle stick is not at the bottom position.

No output signal from the throttle channel on the receiver.

The“Normal / Reverse” direction of the throttle channel on transmitter is incorrect.

Solution

Move the throttle stick to the bottom position or recalibrate the throttle range.

Check if the transmitter and receiver are well bound; Check if the throttle wire has been properly plugged into the throttle channel on the receiver.

Refer to the transmitter instructions and correctly set the "Normal/ Reverse" direction of the throttle channel.
