Status: offline 		I FINALLY got ahold of a set of instructions for programming the Mystery ESC. I had to retype it as the original was almost illegible.


Users Manual (FM 40A, FM 60A, FM 80A, FM 120A)

Specifications:

Model: FM40A FM60A FM80A FM120A
Continuous working current: 40A 60A 80A 120A
Weight: 35g 55g 55g 70g

Input Voltage: NiMH 6 - 16 Cells
Li-ion 2 - 5 Cells

BEC Current: No

Main Functions

1. Safety mode: the motor won't start no matter what the position of the control stick is when
switched on the RC unit.
2. Brake Setting: On/Off (factory setting is off)
3. Three point battery type and low voltage selection.
4. Software reversion of motor turning direction.
5. Low current protection: ignore/reduce power/shut off
6. Temperature protection: reduce power when the temperature reaches 120 degrees C
7. PWM frequency: 8KHZ/16KHZ
8. RPM setting: 20,000rpm/50,000rpm/100,000rpm (60A/80A Only)


ESC program procedure

Normal Start Up

When throttle stick is off, you will hear one Beep for Brake on, or two tones for Brake off.

Program
When throttle stick is at full power connect battery and switch on and wait for 5 seconds.
Setup mode isentered:

1. Brake: If you pull the stick to off within 5 sec Brake will be changed
(On ->Off or Off ->On)
2. Battery type: (Voltage Cut-off)
Ni-Cad . . . . .
2 Lipos(5.6V) .. .. .. .. ..
3 Lipos(8.4V) ... ... ... ... ...
4 Lipos(11.2V) .... .... .... .... ....
5 Lipos(14V) ..... ..... ..... ..... .....

3. Rotation Reverse: Reverse motor rotation 5 short musical notes

4. Soft Start: Enable: 5 short musical notes
Disable: 5 long musical notes

5. Under Voltage:
Ignore: _.. _.. _.. _.. _..
Reduce Power: _. _. _. _. _.
Cut Off: ._ ._ ._ ._ ._

6. Timing:
Automatic (7 - 30 Degree) .. .. .. .. ..
Soft (7 degrees) .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
Hard(22 - 30 Degrees) .. .. .. , .. .. .. , .. .. .. , .. .. .. , .. .. ..

7. Frequency: 8kHz ' ' ' ' '
16kHz b b b b b

Restore Default Settings: _____ _____ _____ _____ _____

8. Active rpm control:

rpm control off: _._ _._ _._ _._ _._
20,000 rpm _.._ _.._ _.._ _.._ _.._
50,000 rpm _..._ _..._ _..._ _..._ _..._
100,000 rpm _...._ _...._ _...._ _...._ _...._
(60A/80A only)

Factory Default Settings:
Brake: Off Battery Type: 3 Li-Poly Under Voltage: Reduce Power Soft Start: Enable
Timing: Auto Frequency: 8kHz Active RPM Control: Off

Notice:

1. Make sure the connections for battery positive/negative are right. Reversing the connection
will damage the ESC permanently.
2. Use suitable batteries. Do not exceed the working voltage of the ESC.
3. The company keeps the right to change design, function, or package without notice.
4. Take care in using safely. Incorrect use may cause injury to the body. The company will
not be responsible for any damage or loss caused by incorrect operation.

Enjoy

I'm trying to figure mine out, and have all kind of different instructions. Hopefully this will work.

Status: offline 		It should be pretty much the same.

The only differences SHOULD be in the cut off for the lipo, max cells and lipo default.

Lipo default SHOULD BE 2 lipo. The rest of the factory defaults should be the same.

I have the 80A...planning on 14.8V 4S 3700 on a Century Swift heli...and I want to make SURE it's got soft-start ON!

Example:

Status: offline 		Campy,
Just wanted to say your instructions are great!! THANK YOU!!
Question though....
To save a setting, do you:
1. Pull back to idle or mid-stick?
2. "during" the series of beeps that you want, or right after?
3. Disconnect power after changing whatever setting? And it should save that setting? Cause if your using go to idle it will engage the throttle then your "out" of programming mode (not fun with a heli!!)

So, I guess I'm looking for the following objective, if following the menu above:

1. Brake OFF
2. 4S Lipo (11.2V)
3. Rotation - Normal
4. Soft Start - On
5. Undervoltage - Ignore
6. Timing - Auto
7. Feq - Auto
8. RPM Control - Off

How would I go about meeting this objective? Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks!



Thanks.
Steve
