1.2 LiPo BATTERIES 鋰電池充電注意事項

Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are becoming popular for use in R/C models due to their compact size, high energy density, and high-current output. However, these types of batteries require special care and handling procedures for long life and safe operation.

鋰電池（鋰聚合）因為其形狀的多變性，高電容量及高放電的特性，所以現今已是非常受歡迎的一種遙控模型電池種類。然而由於此種電池具有相當程度的使用風險性，故在使用時「正確的使用」以延長持電池壽命與嚴守「操作安全」這兩點是需特別注意的。

Warning ! Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries are intended only for advanced users that are educated on the risks associated with LiPo battery use. THUNDER TIGER/ACE RC does not recommend that anyone under the age of 16 use or handle LiPo battery packs without the supervision of a knowledgeable and responsible adult.

Important ! Do not use NiCd/NiMH battery chargers for LiPO batteries. If you do not use a special charger for LiPO batteries, they will be damaged.

警告！鋰電池（鋰聚合）的使用者需具備進階鋰電池使用知識並瞭解其中可能因未使用錯誤所引發的潛在危險。TH UNDER TIGER/ACE RC 強烈建議使用者需年滿 16 歲或是經由具有鋰電池進階使用之是的成人陪同操作。

注意！請勿使用鎳氫/鎳鎘充電器對鋰電池進行充電！此舉很可能引起電池的損壞。請使用專業之鋰電池充電器進行鋰電池之充放電。

The ACE RC BLC electronic speed control is able to use LiPo batteries with nominal voltage not to exceed 7.4 volts (2S packs recommended). Exceeding these voltages may result in damage to your brushless system. LiPo batteries have a minimum safe discharge voltage threshold that should either not be exceeded. The ACE RC BLC electronic speed control is equipped with built-in Low-voltage detection that cuts the power automatically when batteries have reached their minimum voltage (discharge) threshold. Refer to the low power auto-cut table in the ESC instruction manual. It is the driver’s responsibility to stop immediately to prevent the battery pack from being discharged below its safe minimum threshold. It is critical for you, the user, to follow all other instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer and the charger manufacturer for proper charging, use, and storage of LiPo batteries. Make sure you understand how to use your LiPo batteries. Be aware that THUNDER TIGER/ACE RC shall not be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of the installation and/or use of LiPo batteries in THUNDER TIGER models.

ACE RC BLC系列之無刷馬達速控器在設計上是可以允許使用鋰電池，但須注意請勿使用超過7.4 volts (建議使用2S packs)的鋰電池，

否則你的無刷馬達速控器及無刷馬達很可能因過高的電壓而燒毀。使用鋰電本身應該也需具有過度放電之保護，以避免電電池本身的壽命及效能產生不可回復性的傷害。ACE RC BLC系列之無刷馬達速控器本身內建有低電壓偵測裝置，當電池電壓低於一定電壓時速控器會進行自動斷電程序以保護電池之壽命。請參考速控器說明書上低電壓斷電表。發生上述斷電情況請操作者即刻暫停操作以防止電池之損壞。操控者在使用鋰電池時應先詳讀電池及充電器廠商所提供之使用操作說明書以瞭解正確的鋰電池充放電方法，儲存及使用方式。請注意！THUNDER TIGER/ACE RC對於消費者因為使用或安裝鋰電池於所屬之遙控模型上而造成任何的直接或間接的損害，無須擔負任何法律責任。

FAIL SAFE(F/S) FUNCTION SETTING

安全回復功能設定

ACE RC COUGAR 2.4GHz R/C system features a built-in Failsafe function to automatically set a servo command if the receiver loses the signal from transmitter due to interference. For safety, we strongly recommend to active the FAILSAFE function on your Cougar R/C system.

Setting up the Failsafe (F/S) Function:

a. After binding the transmitter and receiver, you can continually set up the F/S function. Turn on the transmitter power and then

receiver power.

b. Press and hold the “Binding SW” button on the receiver for 10 seconds. The LED will start flashing GREEN on the receiver.

CAUTION ! Do not release the “Binding SW” button on the receiver until STEP C is completed.

c. Move and hold the throttle trigger to the position you want the control to be in if a failsafe condition should occur. First, keep

steering wheel at neutral position（steering servo at neutral position）. To set up F/S function with the throttle servo position at "Brake", first push the trigger to the brake position and hold. To set up F/S function with servo position at "Neutral", keep the trigger at neutral position.

NOTE ! Always set the throttle trigger to neutral or full brake position and steering servo to neutral position in case of any unexpected control error !

Factory pre-settings for RC car F/S function are :

Electric Car - Steering servo at neutral, throttle at neutral. Nitro Car - Steering servo at neutral, throttle at iddle and car brakes.

d. After the Step C, release the “Binding SW” button on the receiver first and then the throttle trigger. The LED turns to solid “RED”

and then back to solid “GREEN” indicating the F/S function has now been activated. e. Test by turning off your transmitter and watching the servo failsafe position activate. F/S at "Neutral" : To check the fail safe is working properly, by moving the throttle trigger to the full forward (full brake), hold

this position and then turn off the transmitter. The F/S function should move the throttle servo to “Neutral” position and the

steering servo to “Neutral” position. F/S at "Brake" : To check the fail safe is working properly, by keeping the throttle trigger at neutral and then turn off the

transmitter. The F/S function should move the throttle servo to “Brake” position and the steering servo to “Neutral” position. f. If the F/S function fails or need to change the F/S hold position, repeat the steps a) ~e). After the F/S is completed, you can

start normal operation.

CAUTION ! ALWAYS reset FAILSAFE function after binding your transmitter & receiver.

ACE RC COUGAR 2.4GHz 遙控系統內建安全回復功能，可設定當接收機因干擾或斷電而失去發射機訊號時，伺服機自動回復製預設位置。安全起見，強烈建議您務必啟用安全回復功能。

安全回復功能設定

a. 設定此功能前請先完成系統發射與接收之對頻。確定後，先打開發射機再開接收機電源。 b. 壓著接收機對頻開關，約10秒鐘後LED會變為綠色快速閃爍。表示進入F/S設定模式。

注意！C步驟完成前不要放開接收機對頻鍵。

c. 同時移動油門扳機至您想要設定F/S伺服機位置。轉向舵輪請保持中立點位置。【如想要設定F/S油門伺服機位置為煞車，需先移動油門扳機至煞車位置不要鬆開。】【如想要設定F/S油門伺服機位置為中立，請保持油門扳機在中立點位置。】

注意！油門伺服機安全回復位置建議設定為煞車或中立點，請勿設定為油門開啟位置，以免發生危險。本系統出廠預設 F/S功能如下：

電車﹣轉向伺服機位置在中立點，速控器油門在靜止中立點。油車﹣轉向伺服機位置在中立點，油門伺服機在怠速位置。

d. 此時你可以放開接收機對頻鍵，然後再放開發射機油門板機。LED會變為恆亮紅燈，約2秒後又回到恆亮綠燈，此時表示F/S功

能已經設定完成。

e. 檢查動作： F/S油門伺服機位置設定為中立點: 將油門扳機全煞車，關掉發射機電源，檢視F/S伺服機位置動作是否轉回中立點位置。 F/S油門伺服機位置設定為煞車: 油門扳機保持中立點，關掉發射機電源，檢視F/S伺服機位置動作是否轉回煞車位置。 f. 檢查無誤後，開發射機開關，然後接收機關開始操作。

注意！重新對頻後，請務必重新設定安全回復功能。

1. Install the ESC according to the diagram shown above. Switch on the transmitter first, and then switch on the ESC power.

2. Once the ESC is switched on, it will emit a series sound indicating the ESC is actuating. Adjust the throttle trim to get the best neutral position. When neutral is set, another confirmation sound is emitted. If it fails to set up neutral, the confirmation sound will not be heard. In such a case, re-do & re-check the system again starting from Step1 of these instructions. This ESC is applicable to transmitters with either 50/50 or 70/30 throttle/brake movement range.

3. Confirm that the throttle forward direction coincides with the ESC forward direction. Lift the car off its wheels. Move the throttle forward and watch the wheel’s rotation direction, then move the throttle backwards and see if the system brakes.

4. If the wheels’ movement coincides with the throttle input then the setting is correct. If the movement is opposite then switch off the ESC, change the setting on the transmitter’s throttle reversing switch, and go back to Step 2.

5. Motor rotation direction - Slowly apply throttle to check if the motor is rotating in the correct direction. To reverse the direction of the motor, switch any two of the motor wires. Note: Do not reverse the battery wire connections! Reversing the battery polarity will permanently damage the ESC.

6. For the first trial run, start with a smaller gear motor for 2~3 minutes then monitor the temperatures of both the ESC & motor. If both temperatures are similar to each other, they are at good match. The gear ratio can then be properly adjusted to the desired optimum ratio depending on the type of car and track. However, it is very important to always keep both temperatures under 95 °C, when selecting a gear ratio. A higher gear ratio (larger pinion or smaller spur gear) will increase the system temperature. Running the system at increased temperatures will cause demagnetization of the motor, resulting in a dramatic drop of motor efficiency.

7. It is ok to replace a higher gear ratio or a higher KV motor if the temperature is kept under 80 °C but it should be done in accordance to the instructions in Step 6. Start from a lower ratio then incrementally adjust higher. Battery selection is also an important consideration. Changing to a higher voltage battery will require a lower KV motor and/or a lower gear ratio, unless the original motor has a low enough KV rating to begin with. The ESC will be burn out if the motor and gear ratio does not match the input voltage properly. See the example below showing how battery voltage affects power output.

Input 7.2V, internal resitance 0.18 --- 40A (V/R=I 7.2/0.18=40A) Input11.1V, internal resistance 0.18 --- 61.6A (V/R=I 11.1/0.18=61.6A)

OPERATING RADIO STEERING FUNCTION

遙控器設定－轉向

a. Check the radio steering functions. With the radio transmitter and receiver on, turn the steering wheel to the left. The front tires/wheels

should turn left accordingly. If not, flip the steering servo reverse switch.

b. Return the steering wheel to neutral. The front tires/wheels should point straight forward. If not, use the steering trim lever to

correct it.

c. Turn the steering wheel to the right. The front tires/wheels should turn right accordingly. a. 確認轉向功能。打開發射機及接收機電源，方向轉左邊時，輪胎將朝向左邊，若方向不一致，請調整方向的正逆轉開關。

b. 方向舵回中立點時，前輪應筆直向前，若有偏差，請調整方向舵微調旋鈕。 c. 方向舵轉向右邊時，前輪應轉向右邊。

1. 請依上圖所示接線，完成後打開發射機的電源，再開ESC的電源，（先確定遙控器的"前進"定義與ESC的"前進"定義是否一致，請先將遙控車墊高，使四個輪子可以空轉）打開後ESC會先發出一組開機音，接著自動抓取中立點，完成後會再發出確認音，如果沒有確認音，即表示ESC沒有抓到中立點尚未完成設定，請檢查發射機電源是否開啟，若沒有時請將它打開即可自動偵測，並支援50%：50%及70%：30%的遙控器切換模式，自動完成中立點設定。

2. 輕推遙控器上的油門撥桿往前進方向推，先不管車輪是否正轉，只要馬達有起動運轉即可，然後迅速將油門控制撥桿推到後退的位置不要放開，如果是呈煞車狀態，表示目前遙控器的前進定義與電子變速器的定義一致，(如果只有停頓一下就立即反轉，表示遙控器與變速器的定義相反，請將遙控器上油門位置的正反轉開關切到相反方向）放開油門控制撥桿使它回到中立點，關掉ESC電源再重新開啟，重新抓取中立點後，再往前進方向推一次，此時遙控車應呈前進狀態，請檢視車輪旋轉方向是不是在前進，如是即表示目前所有設定都是正確，可以下場試車了，如果這時車輪運轉方向是後退，請將電子變速器連接到馬達的三條輸出線中的任意兩條對調，即可改變馬達的運轉方向了。（在大部份情況下油門正反轉設定跟ESC的設定相反時，ESC不會抓取中立點，不同廠牌的遙控器會有不同的差異）。注意!!!應注意電源輸入端的極性不可逆接，一旦逆接會使ESC產生嚴重的短路並燒毀。

3. 先用較小齒數的馬達齒安裝，試跑2~3分鐘後檢查一下馬達跟ESC的溫度是否會相差很多，如果兩者的溫度相近表示目前搭配適合，可依據場地賽道的特性來改變齒比，但仍須留意ESC及馬達的溫度，建議應該把溫度控制在攝氏95度以內，超過攝氏100度時馬達的磁鐵其實已會開始退磁，整體效率也會開始下降，導致馬達溫度攠速上昇，銅線阻抗也開始變大，反而消耗掉電池的部份電量，變成熱消耗掉而已。

4. 若兩者溫差過高時，就要依據ESC或馬達兩個何者較高來做一些調整，如果ESC的溫度在約攝氏80度以內，表示可以加大馬達齒輪比或換用Kv值略大的馬達試試看，以增加車速，但同時也要注意馬達溫度，同樣把握一個原則，先用較輕的齒比搭配，再依兩者的溫昇來調整齒比。如改用較高電壓的電池時一定要換較低Kv值的馬達或更換較輕馬達齒輪比，因為同一個馬達的內部阻抗是固定的，若使用不同的電壓輸入的話其消耗電流會有很大的不同，沒有注意ESC的規格隨意配用馬達或變動輸入電壓的話很容易使ESC燒毀，以下為一個簡例說明：輸入電壓7.2V時，一個內阻為0.18 的馬達會消耗40A的電流 (I=V/R 即 7.2/0.18=40) =288W 輸入電壓11.1V時，一個內阻為0.18 的馬達會消耗61.6A的電流 (I=V/R 即11.1/0.18=61.6)=684W 輸入電壓雖然只提高3.9V，但是功率卻多了一倍，所以我們強烈的建議使用者在使用較高電壓前一定要先檢查ESC的溫度，同時降低馬達的Kv值，再依兩者的溫昇來調整齒比。
