4. Producto terminadoview y conexiones

The ApisQueen Thunder-80-01 ESC features standard connections for power input, motor output, and signal input. Familiarize yourself with the components as shown below.

Imagen 4.1: ApisQueen 80A ESC with labeled connections. The image highlights the XT60 connector for battery input, the BEC gear switch for selecting 5V, 6V, or 7V output, the PWM signal line (white wire), BEC output (red wire), ground wire (black wire), and the three 4.0mm plugs for motor connection.

• XT60 Connector: For connecting the LiPo battery (2-6S).
• BEC Gear Switch: Allows selection of BEC output voltage (5V, 6V, or 7V). Default is 5V.
• PWM Signal Line (White Wire): Connects to the receiver's throttle channel.
• BEC Output (Red Wire): Provides regulated power to the receiver and servos.
• Ground Wire (Black Wire): Common ground for the BEC output.
• 4.0mm Plugs: Three output wires for connecting to the brushless motor.

5. Configuración y cableado

Follow these steps for initial setup and wiring of your ESC:

1. Vol BECtage Selección: Before connecting, ensure the BEC gear switch is set to the correct voltage (5V, 6V, or 7V) required by your receiver and servos. The default setting is 5V.
2. Conexión del motor: Connect the three 4.0mm plugs from the ESC to the three wires of your brushless motor. The order of connection may affect motor rotation direction; if the motor spins in the wrong direction, swap any two of the three wires.
3. Conexión del receptor: Connect the PWM signal line (white wire) from the ESC to the throttle channel of your RC receiver. The red and black wires (BEC output and ground) also connect to the receiver to provide power.
4. Conexión de la batería: Connect your 2-6S LiPo battery to the XT60 connector on the ESC. Ensure correct polarity.

Importante: Please ensure all solder joints are insulated with heat shrink where necessary. Double-check all connections before applying power.

6. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

This section details the normal startup procedure, throttle range calibration, and programming steps for your ESC.

Imagen 6.1: Operational flow chart for Normal Start-up, Throttle Range Calibration, and Programming. This diagram illustrates the sequence of actions and corresponding ESC responses (beeps) for each procedure.

6.1 Arranque normal

1. Encienda su transmisor y mueva la palanca del acelerador a la posición inferior (mínima).
2. Conecte el ESC a la batería.
3. Wait for 2 seconds. The motor will emit a series of short "BEEP" sounds, indicating the number of LiPo battery cells.
4. Wait for 1 second. The motor will emit a continuous long and short "BEEP" sound, indicating "No Brake" mode.
5. The motor will then emit a long "BEEP" sound, indicating "Brake is available" mode.
6. El ESC ahora está listo para funcionar.

6.2 Calibración del rango del acelerador

Calibrating the throttle range ensures the ESC accurately recognizes the full throttle input from your transmitter.

1. Encienda su transmisor y mueva la palanca del acelerador a la posición superior (máxima).
2. Conecte el ESC a la batería.
3. Wait for 2 seconds. The motor will emit a long "BEEP" sound, indicating that the full throttle position is memorized.
4. Move the throttle stick to the bottom (minimum) position within 1 second. The motor will emit a short "BEEP" sound, indicating that the zero throttle position is memorized.
5. The motor will then emit a series of short "BEEP" sounds, indicating the number of LiPo battery cells.
6. Wait for 1 second. The motor will emit a continuous long and short "BEEP" sound, indicating "No Brake" mode.
7. The motor will then emit a long "BEEP" sound, indicating "Brake is available" mode.
8. El ESC ahora está listo para funcionar con el rango de aceleración calibrado.

6.3 Programación

The ESC can be programmed via your remote control. Refer to the specific programming sequence for detailed options.

1. Encienda su transmisor y mueva la palanca del acelerador a la posición superior (máxima).
2. Conecte el ESC a la batería.
3. Wait for 2 seconds. The motor will emit two short "BEEP-BEEP" sounds.
4. Continue to wait for 5 seconds. The motor will then emit a special tone ">>12321<", indicating that it has entered programming mode.
5. Follow the specific programming instructions provided with your remote control or ESC for selecting and setting parameters.
