2. 安全に関する注意事項

Please read and understand all safety instructions before operating the ESC. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the product or property.

• Always disconnect the battery from the ESC when not in use to prevent accidental activation.
• 短絡を防ぐために、すべての接続が安全かつ適切に絶縁されていることを確認してください。
• Do not operate the ESC in extreme temperatures or conditions beyond its specified limits.
• Keep the ESC away from children and pets.
• Never attempt to modify the ESC. Unauthorized modifications can lead to malfunction and void the warranty.
• Be aware of rotating parts (e.g., motor, propeller) when the ESC is powered on.
• Use only compatible batteries (LiPo 2-4S) and motors with the ESC.

3. セットアップと接続

Follow these steps to properly connect your DF-MODELS 120A ESC to your RC model:

1. モーター接続: Connect the three 4mm gold connectors from the ESC to your brushless motor. The order of connection may affect motor rotation direction; if the motor spins in the wrong direction, swap any two of the three wires.
2. バッテリー接続: Connect your LiPo 2-4S battery to the ESC's power input wires, which are equipped with a T-Plug connector. Ensure correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative).
3. レシーバー接続: Plug the small signal cable from the ESC into the throttle channel of your RC receiver. The ESC's built-in BEC (Battery Eliminator Circuit) provides 6 volts and 10 amperes of power to your receiver and servos, eliminating the need for a separate receiver battery.
4. 取り付け: Securely mount the ESC in your model, ensuring adequate airflow around the unit for optimal cooling.

4. 操作手順

The DF-MODELS 120A ESC offers standard functions for RC vehicle control:

• フォワード： Provides power to the motor for forward movement.
• ブレーキ： Applies braking force to the motor. The braking strength is adjustable to 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100% of maximum.
• 逆行する： Allows the motor to spin in the opposite direction for backward movement.

Refer to your RC transmitter's manual for throttle calibration and adjustment to ensure proper synchronization with the ESC.

5. メンテナンス

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your ESC:

• クリーニング： After use, especially in dusty or wet conditions, gently clean the ESC with a soft brush or compressed air to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the cooling fan is free from obstructions.
• 接続チェック: Periodically inspect all wires and connectors for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Replace any damaged components immediately.
• ストレージ： ESC は、直射日光や極端な温度を避け、乾燥した涼しい場所に保管してください。

6。 トラブルシューティング

If you encounter issues with your ESC, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• 電源なし: Check battery connection, ensure the battery is charged, and verify the T-Plug connector is fully engaged.
• モーターが応答しません: Ensure the ESC's signal cable is correctly plugged into the receiver's throttle channel. Check motor wire connections. Recalibrate the ESC with your transmitter if necessary.
• モーターが逆方向に回転する: ESC に接続されている 3 本のモーター ワイヤのうち 2 本を交換します。
• ESC過熱: Ensure the cooling fan is operating correctly and free from obstructions. Check for excessive load on the motor or an improperly geared setup.
• 断続動作: Inspect all wiring for loose connections or damage. Check for interference from other electronic devices.
