BEFORE CONTROL SYSTEM TESTING
IMPORTANT ESC INFORMATION
1. The ESC included with the EDGE 540 has a safe start. If the motor battery is connected to the
ESC and the throttle stick is not in the low throttle or off position, the motor will not start until the
throttle stick is moved to the low throttle or off position. Once the throttle stick is moved to the low
throttle or off position, the motor will emit a series of beeps. Several beeps with the same tune me-
ans the ESC is detect the cells of the battery. The count of the beeps equal the cells of the battery.
The motor is now armed and will start when the throttle is moved.
2. The motor and ESC come pre-connected and the motor rotation should be correct.If for any
reason the motor is rotating in the wrong direction, simply reverse two of the three motor wires to
change the direction of rotation.
3. The motor has an optional brake setting. The ESC comes with the brakes switched off an we re-
commended that the EDGE 540 be flown with the brake on. However, the brake could be acciden-
tally switched off in the motor battery is connected to the ESC while the throttle stick is set at full
throttle. To switch the brake on, move the throttle stick to full throttle and plug in the motor battery.
The motor will beep one time. Move the throttle stick to low throttle or the off position. The motor is
ready to run and the brake will be switched off.
4. Battery Selection and installation: We recommend the 4S (14,8V) 2400mAh 40C LiPo bat-
tery. If using another battery, the battery must be at least a 4S (14,8V) 2400mAh 40C battery.
Your battery should be approximately the same capacity, dimension and weight as the 4S (14,8V)
2400mAh 40C LiPo battery to fit in the fuselage without changing the center of gravity too much.
