Thank you for purchasing a Team Orion Brushless ESC. This ESC features the latest brushless technologies.

Our World Championship winning development team has spent countless hours developing this ESC so that

you can experience ultimate performance.

Please read these instructions thoroughly before using the ESC.

FEATURES

• Designed for on-road and off-road use

• High precision speed and power control

• High power built-in BEC system for stable receiver and servo power supply

• Easy set-up via the setup button or optional digital program box

• Forward and reverse function

• Several adjustable parameters (see list on separate sheet)

• Multiple protection systems: battery low voltage cut-off, overheating, radio signal loss, stuck motor

ESC AND MOTOR CONNECTION (see picture on separate sheet)

Sensorless brushless motor (all ESC types)

When using a motor without sensors, the A-B-C wire order is not important, if the motor spins in the wrong direction,

simply reverse two of the wires.

Sensor brushless motor (select ESC types only)

When using a motor equipped with sensors, a sensor cable must be used to connect the motor to the ESC. The ESC

detects when a sensor cable is connected and switches to sensor mode.

WARNING! When using sensor equipped motors, you must respect the A-B-C wire connection order when

connecting the motor to the ESC, you can’t connect the wires randomly.

ESC CALIBRATION (see pictures on separate sheet)

In order to ensure proper function, the ESC must be calibrated to your transmitter inputs. It is recommended to center

the trims and reset all settings inside the transmitter before proceeding to the calibration.

Follow the procedure below to calibrate your ESC

A) Switch off the ESC and switch the transmitter on, set the throttle trim to neutral and set the throttle travel range to

100%”. Disable any special functions such as ABS, etc.

B) Press and hold the “SET” key (located on the switch or ESC), then switch on the ESC. Release the “SET” key as

soon as the red LED starts to flash.

C) Calibrate the throttle points by pressing the set button once after each step.

1. neutral point (1 flash)

2. full throttle (2 flashes)

3. full brakes/reverse (3 flashes)

D) The motor will run 3 seconds after the last step is completed.

STATUS LED FUNCTION

• In the neutral position, no LED are lit

• The red LED lights when the car is moving forward, backwards or is braking.

AUDIO WARNING TONES

1. Input voltage problem: ESC checks the input voltage as it is switched on, if a problem is detected, the ESC emits

repeatedly two beeps with a 1 second pause (xx-xx-xx).

2. Radio signal problem: ESC checks the radio signal input as it is switched on, if a problem is detected, the ESC

emits repeatedly a beep with a 2 second pause (x-x-x).

ESC ADVANCED SETUP

You can adjust several parameters by using the setup button located on the switch or ESC or by using the optional

digital program box (ORI65150).

Please note that depending on the ESC type you have purchased, the number of adjustable parameters may vary

(check the separate sheet for more information).

To adjust the parameters using the setup button, follow the procedure below (see picture on separate sheet).

A) Switch on the ESC.

B) Press and hold the setup button for one second until the green led starts flashing and then release the setup

button (holding the setup button for 5 seconds will restore the ESC to factory defaults).

C) Press the setup button once more.

D) The green LED blinks once repeatedly indicating that parameter nr.1 is currently selected.

E) By pressing on the setup button once more, you move to parameter nr.2 and so on until you have gone

through all the parameters. The process goes in a loop.

F) To change a parameter value, press and hold the setup button for 3 seconds while the green LED is flashing

the number of times corresponding to the parameter you wish to modify.

G) The red LED will flash indicating the actual setting. One flash means setting nr.1 is actually selected, two

flashes means setting nr.2 and so on.

H) Press the setup button to select the setting you wish to use for the current parameter. The process goes in a

loop.

I) Once you have selected the setting you wish to use, press and hold the setup button for 3 seconds to save the

change.

J) Switch the ESC off and back on to make the parameter change effective.

Please note : you can only change one setting at a time, after each modification you need to switch the ESC

off and back on both to make the parameter change effective and be able to modify another parameter.

PARAMETERS

Running Mode

1)“Forward Only with Brake” this mode is meant for competition use. In this mode the car can go forward and brake,

there is no reverse.

2)“Forward/Reverse with Brake” this is the basic all-around mode. In this mode the car can go forward and reverse

and can also brake. When you move the throttle to the reverse position while the car is moving forward, brakes are

applied until the car is fully stopped, reverse cannot engage while the car is moving. To engage reverse, once the car

has stopped, release the brakes and move the throttle to the reverse position again.

While braking or in reverse, if the throttle is moved to the forward position, the car will immediately accelerate forward.

3)“Forward/Reverse” this mode is meant for Rock Crawler use. In this mode there is no brake, the car can go from

forward to reverse immediately without any pause. Do not use this mode with other car types as it can overload and/or

damage the ESC.

Drag Brake Force

Sets the amount of brake automatically applied when the throttle is returned to the neutral position. This simulates the

engine breaking effect of a real car, it can help improve turn-in and the general feeling of the car.

Low Voltage Cut-off

This function helps to prevent battery over-discharge. The ESC continuously monitors the battery’s voltage. If the

voltage becomes lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the output power is shut off and the red LED flashes twice

repeatedly.

The cutoff threshold calculation is based on LiPo individual cell voltage. For NiMH batteries, if the voltage battery pack

is higher than 9.0V, it will be considered as a 3 cell LiPo battery pack; If it is lower than 9.0V, it will be considered as a

2 cell LiPo battery pack. Example: for a 8.0V NiMH battery pack used with a 2.6V/cell threshold, it will be considered

as a 2 cell LiPo battery pack and the low-voltage cut-off threshold will be 5.2V (2.6x2=5.2).

Using the optional Digital Program box (ORI65150) you can adjust custom values for the cutoff threshold. Unlike the

preset values, custom cutoff values are for the total battery voltage not individual cell voltage.

F) To change a parameter value, press and hold the setup button for 3 seconds while the green LED is flashing

the number of times corresponding to the parameter you wish to modify.

G) The red LED will flash indicating the actual setting. One flash means setting nr.1 is actually selected, two

flashes means setting nr.2 and so on.

H) Press the setup button to select the setting you wish to use for the current parameter. The process goes in a

loop.

I) Once you have selected the setting you wish to use, press and hold the setup button for 3 seconds to save the

change.

J) Switch the ESC off and back on to make the parameter change effective.

Please note : you can only change one setting at a time, after each modification you need to switch the ESC

off and back on both to make the parameter change effective and be able to modify another parameter.

PARAMETERS

Running Mode

1)“Forward Only with Brake” this mode is meant for competition use. In this mode the car can go forward and brake,

there is no reverse.

2)“Forward/Reverse with Brake” this is the basic all-around mode. In this mode the car can go forward and reverse

and can also brake. When you move the throttle to the reverse position while the car is moving forward, brakes are

applied until the car is fully stopped, reverse cannot engage while the car is moving. To engage reverse, once the car

has stopped, release the brakes and move the throttle to the reverse position again.

While braking or in reverse, if the throttle is moved to the forward position, the car will immediately accelerate forward.

3)“Forward/Reverse” this mode is meant for Rock Crawler use. In this mode there is no brake, the car can go from

forward to reverse immediately without any pause. Do not use this mode with other car types as it can overload and/or

damage the ESC.

Drag Brake Force

Sets the amount of brake automatically applied when the throttle is returned to the neutral position. This simulates the

engine breaking effect of a real car, it can help improve turn-in and the general feeling of the car.

Low Voltage Cut-off

This function helps to prevent battery over-discharge. The ESC continuously monitors the battery’s voltage. If the

voltage becomes lower than the threshold for 2 seconds, the output power is shut off and the red LED flashes twice

repeatedly.

The cutoff threshold calculation is based on LiPo individual cell voltage. For NiMH batteries, if the voltage battery pack

is higher than 9.0V, it will be considered as a 3 cell LiPo battery pack; If it is lower than 9.0V, it will be considered as a

2 cell LiPo battery pack. Example: for a 8.0V NiMH battery pack used with a 2.6V/cell threshold, it will be considered

as a 2 cell LiPo battery pack and the low-voltage cut-off threshold will be 5.2V (2.6x2=5.2).

Using the optional Digital Program box (ORI65150) you can adjust custom values for the cutoff threshold. Unlike the

preset values, custom cutoff values are for the total battery voltage not individual cell voltage.

ENGLISH

Start mode “punch”

This parameter sets the initial throttle punch when the car accelerates. Level1 gives a very soft initial acceleration and

level 9 gives a very strong initial acceleration. When using levels 7, 8 or 9, you must use high power batteries. With

low power batteries, the battery might overload and cause poor performance or unexpected results.

Max Brake Force

This parameter adjusts the maximum breaking force. A higher value provides stronger braking, but it can also cause

the wheels to lock causing loss of control of the car.

Max Reverse Force

This parameter adjusts the maximum power when travelling in reverse.

Initial Brake Force (minimum brake)

This parameter adjusts the minimum amount of braking power when the brakes engage. The default value is equal to

the drag brake value. A high value can cause the wheels to lock immediately when the brake is used.

Neutral Range

This parameter adjusts the throttle sensitivity around the neutral point. A higher value means that the throttle will have

to be moved further for the car to move forward, backward or brake.

Timing

This parameter adjusts the motor drive current timing. More timing gives more performance but can lower efficiency

and cause damage to the motor and/or ESC by overload or overheating. Use with caution.

Overheating Protection

This parameter activates or deactivates the overheating protection. Output power will be cut-off if the temperature of

the ESC or the internal temperature of the motor goes (sensored only) over a factory preset value for 5 seconds.

When the protection is activated, the green LED flashes.

ESC overheating: green LED flashes x-x-x (single flash).

Motor overheating: green LED flashes as xx-xx-xx (double flash).

Please note that the motor overheating protection does not work with all brushless motor brands.

Motor Rotation

This parameter allows you to change the motor rotation direction.

LiPo cells

This parameter allows you to manually select the amount of cells inside the LiPo battery which is being used,

overriding the automatic detection.

Restore Default Settings

With the throttle in the neutral position, press and hold the “SET” key for 5 seconds, the red and green LED will flash

simultaneously indicating that the parameters have been reset to the factory default values.

SOFTWARE UPDATE

If available, updated software and recommended settings will be posted on our website www.teamorion.com.

To be able to update the ESC’s software you must purchase the optional digital programming box (ORI65150).

ENGLISH

Nous vous félicitons pour l’achat d’un régulateur brushless Team Orion. Ce régulateur est équipé des

technologies les plus récentes. Notre team champion du monde a passé de longues heures à développer ce

produit afin que vous puissiez bénéficier des performances les plus élevées qui soit.

Veuillez lire attentivement ce mode d’emploi avant d’utiliser le régulateur.

CARACTERISTIQUES

• Conçu pour un usage sur piste ou tout-terrain

• Gestion de la puissance précise et performante

• Système BEC haute-puissance intégré pour une alimentation efficace du récepteur et des servos

• Réglage facile grâce au bouton de réglage ou a au boitier optionnel

• Marche avant et marche arrière

• Divers paramétrages disponibles (voir feuille annexe)

• Systèmes de sécurité : coupure tension batterie faible, surchauffe, perte de signal radio, blocage moteur

CONNECTION DU REGULATEUR ET DU MOTEUR (voir feuille annexe)

Moteur brushless sensorless (tous les régulateurs)

Lorsqu’un moteur sensorless est utilisé, l’ordre des fils moteur n’est pas important. Si le moteur tourne à l’envers,

inversez deux des trois fils moteur pour modifier le sens de rotation.

Moteur brushless avec sensor (certains régulateurs uniquement)

Lorsque vous utiliser un moteur avec sensor, vous devez utiliser un câble spécifique pour relier le moteur au

régulateur. Le régulateur détecte la connexion et passe en mode sensor.

ATTENTION ! Lorsque vous utilisez un moteur avec sensor, vous devez impérativement respecter l’ordre des

fils du moteur ABC.

CALIBRAGE DU REGULATEUR (voir feuille annexe)

Afin d’assurer un fonctionnement optimal, vous devez calibrer le régulateur au signal de l’émetteur. Avant de procéder

au calibrage, centrez le trim et désactivez les fonctions spéciales qui pourraient être actives.

Suivez cette procédure pour calibrer le régulateur

A) Eteignez le régulateur et enclenchez l’émetteur, centrez le trim des gaz et réglez le débattement à 100%.

Désactivez toutes les fonctions spéciales qui pourraient être actives dans le régulateur.

B) Maintenez appuyé le bouton SET (situé sur l’interrupteur ou le régulateur) puis enclenchez le régulateur.

Relâchez le bouton dès que la LED rouge clignote.

C) Calibrez les gaz en appuyant une fois sur le bouton à chaque étape.

1. Neutre (1 flash)

2. Plein gaz (2 flashs)

3. Freins/marche arrière (3 flashs)

D) Le régulateur est fonctionnel 3 secondes après que le calibrage soit effectué

FONCTIONNEMENT DES LED D’ETAT

• Au neutre aucune LED ne s’allume

• La LED rouge s’allume lorsque la voiture avance, recule ou freine.

SIGNAUX SONORES

1. Problème d’alimentation: le régulateur contrôle la tension de la batterie lorsqu’il est enclenché. Si un problème

est détecté, les régulateur émet deux signaux sonores avec 2 secondes de pause entre les répétitions(xx-xx-xx).

2. Problème de signal radio: le régulateur contrôle le signal radio lorsqu’il est enclenché. Si un problème est

détecté, les régulateur émet un signal sonore avec 2 secondes de pause entre les répétitions (x-x-x).

PARAMETRAGE AVANCE DU REGULATEUR

Divers paramètres du régulateur peuvent être modifiés en utilisant le bouton de réglage située sur l’interrupteur ou le

régulateur ou en utilisant le boîtier de programmation digital optionnel (ORI65150).

Veuillez noter que selon le modèle de régulateur, le nombre de paramètres modifiables peut varier (voir feuille

annexe). Pour modifier les paramètres en utilisant le bouton de réglage, suivez la procédure ci-dessous (voir feuille

annexe).

A) Enclenchez le régulateur.

B) Appuyez sur le bouton pendant une seconde jusqu’à ce que la LED verte clignote puis relâchez-le (si vous le

maintenez pressé pendant 5 secondes, les paramètres sont remis en configuration d’usine).

C) Appuyez encore une fois sur le bouton.

D) La LED verte clignote une fois à répétition indiquant que le paramètre nr.1 est sélectionné.

E) En appuyant sur le bouton, vous passez au paramètre nr.2 et ainsi de suite, en boucle.

F) Pour modifier un paramètre, appuyez sur le bouton pendant 3 secondes, alors que la LED verte clignote le

nombre de fois indiquant le paramètre que vous désirez modifier.

G) La LED rouge clignote un certain nombre de fois, indiquant le réglage actuel. Un clignotement veut dire

réglage nr.1, deux clignotements veux dire réglage nr.2 et ainsi de suite.

H) Appuyez sur le bouton pour modifier le réglage d’un cran (en boucle).

I) Une fois le réglage effectué, appuyez sur le bouton pendant 3 secondes pour sauvegarder la modification.

J) Eteignez puis rallumez le régulateur pour valider la modification.

NB : Vous ne pouvez modifier qu’un paramètre à la fois. Pour sauvegarder une modification et pouvoir

modifier un autre paramètre, il faut éteindre et rallumer le régulateur.

PARAMETRES

Mode de fonctionnement (running mode)

1)“Marche avant avec frein” ce mode est destiné à la compétition. Dans ce mode il n’y a pas de marche arrière.

2)“Marche avant/arrière avec frein” ce mode est le mode basique passe partout. Dans ce mode, la voiture peut

avancer, reculer et freiner. Lorsque vous tirez/poussez le manche des gaz en position marche arrière pendant que la

voiture avance, le régulateur freine la voiture jusqu’à ce qu’elle soit totalement arrêtée. Une fois la voiture à l’arrêt,

relâchez le manche des gaz puis tirez/poussez le en position marche arrière à nouveau pour enclencher la marche

arrière. Lorsque la voiture recule ou pendant que vous freinez, si vous tirez/poussez le manche des gaz en position

marche avant, la voiture repart en avant instantanément.

3)“Marche avant/arrière” ceci est le mode de fonctionnement idéal pour les Rock Crawler. Dans ce mode le régulateur

passe de la marche avant à la marche arrière et inversement, sans délai. Attention n’utilisez pas ce mode avec des

voitures standard car cela peut surcharger le régulateur et l’endommager.

Frein Moteur (drag brake)

Ce paramètre règle la quantité de frein appliqué lorsque les gaz sont au neutre. Ceci permet d’améliorer le feeling

général ainsi que l’entrée en courbe.

Coupure en cas de tension de batterie faible (low voltage Cut-off)

Avec cette système, le régulateur contrôle constamment la tension de la batterie. Si la tension de la batterie passe

en-dessous du seuil prédéfini pendant 2 secondes, le régulateur coupe l’alimentation et la LED rouge clignote deux

fois de façon répétée. Le seuil de coupure est calculé sur la base d’une batterie LiPo. Avec une batterie NiMH, si sa

tension est supérieure à 9V alors la coupure sera basée sur celle d’un LiPo 3 éléments, en-dessous de 9V la coupure

sera basée sur celle d’un LiPo 2 éléments. Par exemple pour une batterie NiMH avec une tension de 8V et un réglage

de 2.6V/él., le seuil sera basé sur un LiPo 2 éléments, donc il sera de 5.2V (2.6x2=5.2V).

En utilisant le boîtier optionnel (ORI68150) vous pouvez définir une valeur personnalisée, dans ce cas la valeur se

réfère à la tension de toute la batterie plutôt qu’à un seul élément.

Force d’accélération (start mode “punch”)

Ce paramètre défini la puissance de l’accélération. Le niveau 1 donne une accélération peu puissante et le niveau 9

donne l’accélération la plus puissante. Si vous utilisez les niveaux 7, 8 ou 9, il faut impérativement utiliser une batterie

puissante. Une batterie peu puissante pourrait ne pas être capable de fournir le courant nécessaire et provoquer des

disfonctionnements.
