SUPPO. Speed Controller Programming Instructions

For Advance programmable Normal Aircraft/Boat ESC 50A/70A/80A/100A/125A/200A ESC

Important Note: these ESCs are all Opto, without BEC to your Receiver, you need extra power source for your receiver. You can use a UBEC, a voltage regulator, or extra batteries as the power source for your receiver. If you hear the music tone repeat again and again for more than 3 times, you may need to check your power source to the receiver.

1 Enter programming Mode

1. Connect your motor and receiver to the speed controller, but do not connect the battery yet. 2. Turn on your transmitter and move the throttle stick to the full throttle position (full up). Please Note: Most Futaba transmitters have the throttle channel reversed by default. 3. Connect your battery and the controller will initialize with a musical tone.

2 Programming

After 3 seconds, the controller will start beeping a sequence of tones . a musical tone followed by one or more beeps. Each sequence represents a parameter that you can program and is repeated 3 times. The parameters are:
Music Tone + 1 Beep - Options 1. Cell Type and No. of Cells
Music Tone + 2 Beeps - Options 2. Throttle Setting
Music Tone + 3 Beeps - Options 3. Brake Setting
Music Tone + 4 Beeps - Options 4. Direction and Cutoff Type
Music Tone + 5 Beeps - Options 5. Timing Mode
Music Tone + 6 Beeps - Option 6. PWM setting

Step 1.

Starting, Enter Sub-optins. When you hear the sequence for the parameter you wish to program, move the throttle stick to the Center Position to Enter Sub-options. The controller will then start beeping a Morse code sequence of short and long beeps representing the possible options you may choose for the selected parameter. See table 2 for a list of all programmable options. Each option sequence is repeated 3 times.

Step 2.

Select and save, the select the option, move the throttle stick back to the 2 Full-up-position., When you hear the sequence for the option you wish to select. The controller will then save the selected option, and sound a long beep as a confirmation. It then goes back to the beginning of the programming sequence (phrases 2).

Step 3.

Complete programming and exit programming mode. Setup all the parameters you need to change. When complete, move the throttle stick to the Lowest (Down) Position. The controller will save all options and re-initialize in normal running mode so you can start your motor. The table below summarizes the various programming options for each parameter:
