Protective Features - Redcat Racing GEN8 International Scout II Manuel

ESC GUIDE
ESC
RCR-2CENR RADIO SYSTEM
FEATURES:
Waterproof and dust-proof for all weather conditions. (Note: Be sure to clean and dry ESC and connections after wet use
to avoid rust.) The ESC is specially programmed for crawlers, guarantees excellent throttle and brake linearity as well as
superior control performance. 3 levels of drag brake: 0%, 50% and 100%, allows users to adjust brake feel for different
terrains and personal preference.
Built-in switching BEC with cont. /peak current of 3A/6A for use with most servos.
Protective features: low-voltage cutoff protection, thermal protection, throttle signal loss protection, and motor lock-up
protection. The ESC is easily programmed using the included jumper caps.

PROTECTIVE FEATURES:

Low-voltage Cutoff Protection. When the "Battery Type" is set to "LIPO", the cutoff voltage for each battery cell is 3.2V. So
when using a 2S LiPo, the cutoff voltage for the pack will be 6.4V. When using a 3S pack the cutoff voltage will be 9.6V.
When the "Battery Type" is set to "NiMH", the cutoff voltage (for the pack) is 4.5V. The ESC will cut throttle power output
to 1/2 when it detects the pack voltage has dropped to the cut-off threshold for 2 seconds, and completely cut the throttle
power output off after 8 seconds. The Red LED will blink repeatedly. Turn off the ESC and remove the discharged battery
pack. Wait for the battery to cool before recharging.
Note: Be absolutely sure the "Battery Type" is set properly. If the low-voltage cutoff protection is activated prematurely,
and you are certain the battery type is set correctly, the battery being used may not have a high enough discharge rate, or
is damaged. Try another fully charged battery pack with a higher discharge rate (be sure ESC is set according to the new
battery being used).
Thermal Protection. The ESC will cut off all power output and the Red LED will blink repeatedly when its internal tempera-
ture reaches the value (105ºC/221ºF) preset by the factory. The ESC will return to normal operation when the ESC
temperature falls below 80ºC/176ºF.
Note: If the thermal protection is activated on a regular basis, then there may be an issue with the vehicles power
demand. The motor may be geared too high, the vehicle or load may be too heavy, the drive train may be obstructed or
binding, or an improper motor is being used.
Throttle Signal Loss Protection. The ESC will immediately cut power output and the Red LED will blink rapidly when it
detects that the throttle signal has been lost for 0.1 second.
WARNING:
To avoid short circuits, ensure that all wires & connections are well insulated and there is good contact at all connections.
Read through the entire manual before operating and ensure all electronics are installed correctly. To avoid accidents, we
recommend setting the vehicle on a stand, with the tires free from any contact, while connecting and adjusting electronics.
Stop usage and unplug the battery immediately if the ESC exceeds 90ºC/194ºF as this may damage both the ESC and
motor. Disconnect the battery after use. The ESC continually draws current from the battery (even if the ESC is turned
off). If left plugged in for long periods of time, the battery will completely discharge, which may result in damage to the
battery or ESC. This WILL NOT be covered under warranty.
