As shown in the gure above, connect the positive (+) wire is connected to (+) battery port, and the negative (-) wire is connected to the (-) battery port. Motor Wire Connection 1. Sensored Mode :
When using a sensored brushless motor, the three A/B/C ESC wires must connect to the three A/B/C motor wires correspondingly. It is necessary to connect the Sensor wire to the Sensor socket on the ESC. Dont change the wires sequence optionally. 2. Sensorless Mode:
Press and hold the power button Until blue LED is on solid Release the power button The red LED is on solid Blue LED blinks three times, motor one beep Blue LED blinks three times, motor two beeps The ESC enters to the calibration mode Blue LED blinks three times, motor three beeps, throttle calibration done Pull the throttle trigger to the full Push the throttle trigger to the full Release the throttle trigger to throttle position brake position neutral position LED Status 1.During operation Throttle Position Neutral Full Throttle Full Brake Blue LED Blinking ON OFF Red LED OFF ON ON Note: When you pull the throttle from neutral position to full throttle position, the Blue LED will blink, and the blink frequency will go faster when the throttlegoes higher. 2. When some protection is activated The RED LED is always on solid once the power button is pressed. The RED LED blinks, single ash between every one second. Repeat like indicates that the voltage is abnormal. The RED LED blinks, double ash between every one second. Repeat like indicates that the temperature is abnormal. The RED LED blinks, single and double ash alternately between every one second. Repeat like indicates that both of the voltage and temperature is abnormal at the same time. The RED LED will not have any responds even the voltage or temperature is abnormal if not detect the signal. The BLUE LED blinks,double ash between every two seconds. Repeat like indicates that the throttle is abnormal.
(No throttle, or the throttle is not on the neutral position) Throttle Signal 1. The ESC can support the 450Hz maximum PPM throttle signal. 2. The ESC throttle protection will be activated under the following situation, and the BLUE LED blinks double ash:
The throttle trigger do not place on the neutral position when the ESC turns on. Lost the throttle signal. 3. If the ESC lost throttle signal during the operation, the BLUE LED will blink double ash, and the ESC will start to work again until the throttle signal is back to normal. Sensored & Sensorless 1. The sensored mode is activated once the ESC detected the hall sensor signal at any time. 2. The ESC will work on sensorless mode once the ESC didnt detect the hall sensor signal at any time. 3. The ESC will have a slight power drop and restored soon during the moment of sensored and sensorless mode switching. 4. The PWM driving frequency will be selected automatically by the ESC on sensorless mode, and the manual setting is invalid. 5. It is invalid to set the brake PMW frequency less than 1KHz and forced recognized as 1KHZ, if the ESC is on sensorless mode. 6. Boost and turbo functions are not available on sensorless mode. Boost & Turbo 1. After the boost or turbo timing triggered, the RPM and current will be increased, and the battery/ESC/motor will be heating, so setting the proper timing and timing increased rate, and control The Boost timing will be triggered even though you do not pull the throttle trigger to the full throttle position. The Turbo timing will be triggered only when you pull the throttle trigger to the full throttle position. 3. The Boost timing plus the Turbo timing is equal to the nal opened timing when the throttle reaches its maximum position, and the nal total timing is 60 degreefor Beast Pro 150A total timing is 15 degree). For example: If Boost timing set at 45 degree, and Turbo Timing set at 50 degree, so when the throttle reaches its maximum position, the Boost timing will be 45 degree, and Turbo Timing only can be opened at 15 degree. 4. If set the low voltage or over temperature protection, and the protection is activated, then all the timing will be closed. Protection 1. High Voltage Protection:
If the ESC detected the voltage too high(Higher than the esc standard voltage), when the ESC turns on, and the voltage protection was not set OFF, then the voltage protection will be activated, and the maximum throttle output will be limited within 50%.(The high voltage protection only worked on the moment of the ESC turns on, and it will not work on the other stages even it detected the high voltage, once the high voltage protection opened, even though the voltage comes down to the normal voltage, the protection will not be relieved.) 2. Low Voltage Protection:
If the ESC detected the voltage less than the set value at anytime, and this voltage keep for a while, then the low voltage protection is activated, and the maximum throttle output will be limited within 50%.(Once the low voltage protection activated, even though the voltage comes back to normal, the protection can not be relieved.) 3. Thermal Protection:
The output throttle from the ESC will be limited (not over 50%) with the thermal value you have preset.(The Thermal protection will be dismissed when the ESC temperature drop to 65) 4. If the voltage protection and temperature protection set o, and when the voltage and temperature become abnormal, the LED status will indicates the problems correspondingly, but will not limit the throttle output and will not close all ESC timing. 5. If some issues happen, cause ESC drive the motor failure, it will go into a protection; you will hear motor "beep beep beep" ,and it will stop beeping until release throttle to neutral position at least 0.2s. Bluetooth 1. Reset password: When the ESC turns on, press and holding the power button around 10 seconds, the ESC will restore the Bluetooth password to default setting 0000. 2. With ZTW Bluetooth, connected the ZTW app to the ESC, the user can program parameters, upgrade rmware and check the real-time data of the ESC on the APP. 3. Due to the range limit of Bluetooth, the operational distance is around 10 meters.(If there are many metals or other strong interference signals or obstacles around will short the operational Battery the time of timing will eect the battery/ESC/motor service life. 2. The dierence of the Boost and Turbo Timing:
When using a sensorelesss brushless motor, the #A, #B, #C wires of the ESC can be connected with the motor wires freely (without any sequence). If the motor runs in the opposite direction, please swap any two wire connections. Receiver Wire Connection The signal wire supplies 6.0V to the receiver, servo, etc. So there is no need to connect an additional battery. External power connected to the receiver may distance) 4. The Bluetooth name can not be changed. 5. The Bluetooth connecting will be failed during the ESC throttle calibration process. Programmable Items damage the ESC. Black wire RX-
Red wire RX+6.0V White wire RX-Signal Software Functions and Settings Power On/O ESC 1. Press the power button then the ESC will be powered on. 2. Press and holding the power button until the all LEDs died out, then the ESC will be powered o.
(Note: Please place the throttle trigger on the neutral position: within 10%, otherwise the ESC can not be powered o.) Throttle Calibration 1. Connect the ESC with the battery and receiver well, then turn on the transmitter. 1. The user can program parameters at any status if the ESC turns on, and new programmed parameters will be took eect immediately, no need to restart the ESC, it means the programming parameters can be competed online, so it can provide a very intuitive feeling between the before programming and after programming. There will be some impacts on the battery/ESC/motor if you program some parameters when the motor in a high-speed rotation. For example, if you changed the motor rotation when the motor in a high-speed rotation, then the ESC will drive the motor reverse immediately, but the motor can not be reverse immediately because of its inertia, then it will cause a big current and vibration. Or when the Boost or Turbo timing opened, but you set it o when the motor in a high-speed rotation, it also will cause a big current, so we would like to recommend not programming parameters when the motor in a high-speed rotation. 2. The programming parameters are saved in the ESC embedded ash memory, and the ashed card have a limited programming life ( around 10K times), so dont program the ESC very often. Real-time Data 1. The real-time data can be read only when the ESC have the throttle signal. 2. The real-time data is just a reference data with10% accuracy, if you want to get the more accurate real-time data, you need to use the more professional equipment. 3. The description of the real-time data items:
2. Press and holding the power button until the blue LED is on solid, the motor have a long beep at the same time, then release the power button, the red led will be on solid, the ESC enters to Number Item Description the calibration mode. 3. Pull the throttle trigger to the full throttle position, the blue led blinks three times and the motor beeps once, the full throttle position is saved. 4. Push the throttle trigger to the full brake position, the blue led blinks three times and the motor beeps twice, the full brake position is saved. 5. Release the throttle trigger to the neutral position, the blue led blinks three times and the motor beeps three times, the throttle calibration is completed. 6. The ESC can support reverse throttle calibration, if the transmitter throttle set reverse (it means pull the throttle will go to 1000 throttle position/normally is 2000, and push the throttle will go to 2000 throttle position/normally is 1000), then you do the throttle calibration the same way as usual (as above), it will not have any eects on the ESC forward and revers way even if the transmitter throttle set reverse. Remark: No need to restart the ESC again after throttle calibration nished. Do not move the throttle during the time of the blue led blinks. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Input Throttle The throttle from the Receiver to the ESC Output Throttle The throttle from the ESC to the Motor Voltage The battery voltage is being read by the ESC Min.

If the ESC rmware upgrade failed during the upgrading process, please restart the ESC again, and must upgrade the ESC rmware via the APP again (all the other functions are not available), the ESC will get right after the rmware upgraded successfully. 2. The Red Led will blink a faint light when the ESC in the rmware upgrade mode, and the Blue Led will blink a faint light when the ESC have data transmission. 3. Please do not turn o the ESC during the time of the ESC rmware upgrading process. ( And the ESC only can be switched o after pressing the power button around 5 seconds) Programmable Items Description Warning Statement SECTION PROGRAMMABLE ITEMS PROGRAMMABLE ITEMS DESCRIPTION Throttle Response The shorter the time, the quicker the acceleration.

Rate Turbo Timing Angle Inc. Rate Angle Dec. Rate TURBO Turbo Delay Delay Reload Motor Rotation Motor Poles when the speed is really high. Its the timing activated when the throttle input reaches 100%. The higher the value, the more aggressive the power, and the more dicult to control it. The higher the value, the faster the speed decrease. The eect, similar to braking, will be generated when the speed is really high. With this function activated, the Turbo Timing wont be activated immediately after the throttle trigger/stick is moved to the 100% position. It determines whether or not to delay and reload when the throttle trigger/stick is moved away and quickly returned to the 100% point with the Turbo Timing is activated. There are two options: Wait
(reload after the turbo timing is decreased to 0), Instant (reload immediately when the throttle trigger/stick is moved away from the 100% position). Its the direction in which motor spins. With the factory default setting, it may run in the opposite direction in some scenarios. This function allows users to switch the rotational direction if necessary. It allows users to manually set the pole count of the motor, so to get the correct RPM threshold at which the Boost Timing will be triggered. And users are able to check the actual motor RMP in the real-time data part of the mobile phone App. Running Mode There are three running modes: Forward/Brake, Forward/Brake/Reverse, and Forward/Reverse. GENERAL Reverse Mode Its only available when the running mode is set to Forward/Brake/Reverse. There are two options: One Shot
(pull the throttle trigger/stick once) & Two Shots (quickly pull the throttle trigger/stick twice). Its the PWM frequency ESC used for driving motor. The lower the PWM driving frequency, the faster the acceleration, and Drive PWM Freq. the worse the throttle linearity; the higher the PWM driving frequency, the smoother the throttle linearity, and it will result CutOFF Voltage in fast temperature increase. With it set to Auto, the ESC will automatically identify the number of LiPo cells youve plugged in the moment its powered on. CutOFF Thermal The ESC will automatically cease operation when the internal temperature rises above user-selectable values. BEC Output Select the output of the Battery Eliminator Circuit depending on the operating voltage requirements of the servos. A/C Swap Its for switching the motor wires: A & C. When setting to No, the output wires at the ESC side will be connected to the motor in the following sequence: A-A, B-B, and C-C; when setting to Yes, the wiring sequence will be: A-C, B-B, C-A.
