<languages/> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> == Introduction == '''Programmable Electronic Controllers for Brushless Motors''' </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> Congratulations on your purchase of a KAVAN Plus line electronic speed controller for brushless motors. The state-of-the-art KAVAN PRO line covers almost the entire range of electric-powered planes and helicopters - from small and light models, up to giant ones. Large gliders equipped with several servos or 3D models with strong digital servos will benefit from the powerful switched SBEC voltage stabiliser of KAVAN Pro controllers. KAVAN PRO OPTO HV controllers are here for your 6-14S LiPo power systems. All the ESCs can be quickly programmed using your transmitter and even easier with the optional [https://www.kavanrc.com/en/item/program-card-kavan-pro-140787 Program card KAVAN PRO]. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Warnings === * Read through the manuals of all power devices and aircraft and ensure the power configuration is rational before using this unit. * Ensure all wires and connections are well insulated before connecting the ESC to related devices, as a short circuit will damage your ESC. Ensure all devices are well connected, to prevent poor connections that may cause your aircraft to lose control or other unpredictable issues like damage to the device. If necessary, please use a soldering iron with enough power to solder all input/ output wires and connectors. * Never get the motor locked up during high-speed rotation, otherwise, the ESC may get destroyed and may also get your motor damaged. (Note: move the throttle stick to the bottom position or disconnect the battery immediately if the motor really gets locked up.) * Never use this unit in extremely hot weather or continue to use it when it gets overheated. High temperature will activate the ESC thermal protection or even damage your ESC. * Always disconnect and remove batteries after use, as the ESC will continue to consume current as long as it's connected to the batteries. Long-time contact will cause batteries to completely discharge and damage batteries and/or ESC. This will not be covered under warranty. * When used in EDF aeroplanes, the "Normal Start-up" mode is not viable due to the characteristics of the ducted fan & motor. If the diameter of the ducted fan is 75 mm to 90 mm (90 mm is not included), please select the “Soft Start-up” or "Very Soft" start-up mode. If the diameter of the ducted fan is 90 mm or above, please select the "Very Soft" start-up mode. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Features === * ESC, which features a high-performance 32-bit ARM M4 microprocessor (with a running frequency of up to 72 MHz), is compatible with various brushless motors. * A microprocessor powered by a separate DC controller has better anti-interference performance, greatly reducing the possibility of losing control. * DEO (Driving Efficiency Optimization) Technology greatly improves throttle response & controlling efficiency and reduces ESC's temperature. * Built-in high-power BEC with output voltage adjustable among 5.2 V, 6.0 V and 7.4 V (5.2 V PRO R-20SB/R-30SB). The BEC module is separated from other circuits on the ESC, so the normal BEC output can be guaranteed (when an issue like a burnt power board occurs) to allow users to get the aircraft back before crashing. * Normal/Soft/Very Soft start-up modes are compatible with regular propeller aeroplanes and EDF jet aeroplanes (please make sure to select the “Very Soft Start-up” mode when using EDF jet aeroplanes). * A separate programming cable for connecting the ESC to an LED program card allows users to program the ESC anytime, anywhere. (For detailed info, please refer to the user manual of the KAVAN PRO LED programming card.) * Normal/proportional/reverse brake modes (especially reverse brake mode) can effectively shorten the landing distance of the aircraft. * Multiple protection features like start-up, ESC thermal, capacitor thermal, over-current, over-load, abnormal input voltage and throttle signal loss effectively prolong the service life of the ESC. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Specification === {| class="wikitable" |+ | |'''Cont. current''' |'''Peak current''' |'''Input voltage''' |'''BEC output''' |'''Weight''' |'''Dimensions''' |- |KAVAN PRO G2 R-20SB |20 A |30 A |2–4S LiPo |5.2 V, 2.5 A continuous / 4 A peak |13 g |25×15×5 mm |- |KAVAN PRO G2 R-30SB |30 A |45 A |2–4S LiPo |5.2 V, 3.5 A continuous / 5 A peak |23 g |37×17×5 mm |- |KAVAN PRO G2 R-40SB |40 A |60 A |3–6S LiPo |5.2, 6.0, 7.4 V, 8 A continuous / 20 A peak |44 g |47×28×14 mm |- |KAVAN PRO G2 R-60SB |60 A |80 A |3–6S LiPo |5.2, 6.0, 7.4 V, 8 A continuous / 20 A peak |73 g |69×35×18 mm |- |KAVAN PRO G2 R-80SB |80 A |100 A |3–8S LiPo |5.2, 6.0, 7.4 V, 8 A continuous / 20 A peak |92 g |70×35×19 mm |- |KAVAN PRO G2 R-120SB |120 A |150 A |3–8S LiPo |5.2, 6.0, 7.4 V, 8 A continuous / 20 A peak |93 g |77×35×19 mm |- |KAVAN PRO G2 R-130HV OPTO |130 A |160 A |6–14S LiPo |None |221 g |110×50×33 mm |- |KAVAN PRO G2 R-160HV OPTO |160 A |200 A |6–14S LiPo |None |221 g |110×50×33 mm |} </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Connecting the ESC === The speed controller can be connected to the motor by soldering directly or with high-quality connectors.

When the speed stops increasing or the speed increase is not stable, the ESC will take it as a start-up failure. At that time, if the throttle amount is less than 15 %, the ESC will try to restart automatically; if it is larger than 20 %, you need to move the throttle stick back to the bottom position first and then restart the ESC. (Possible causes of this problem: poor connection/ disconnection between the ESC and motor wires, propellers are blocked, etc.) </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==== ESC Thermal Protection ==== The motor will "stutter" when the ESC temperature goes above 110 °C to indicate that the ESC thermal protection is activated. If you lower down the throttle input to below 60 % at this moment, the "stuttering" will disappear and the ESC will output the corresponding power. The motor will re-start to "stutter" if the throttle input exceeds 60 %. In this condition, disconnect the battery first and then re-connect it to the ESC after the ESC cools down (the ESC temperature cannot exceed 70 °C, otherwise it cannot be started), it will resume normal operation. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==== Throttle Signal Loss Protection ==== When the ESC detects loss of signal for over 0.25 seconds, it will cut off the output immediately to avoid an even greater loss, which may be caused by the continuous high-speed rotation of propellers or rotor blades. The ESC will resume the corresponding output after normal signals are received. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==== Overload Protection ==== The ESC will cut off the power/output or automatically restart itself when the load suddenly increases to a very high value. Possible cause of the sudden load increase is that the propellers are blocked or the motor and the ESC are out of sync. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> ==== Over-current Protection ==== The ESC will cut off the output immediately when the peak current exceeds the regulated value and then restart to resume the output. If the current continues to go above the regulated value, then the output will be completely cut off. This protection may be activated by the burnt motor or some other causes. </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> === Troubleshooting === {| class="wikitable" |+ !Troubles !Warning tones !Causes !Solutions |- |The ESC didn’t work after it was powered on while the motor kept beeping. |"BB, BB, BB……" |The input voltage was beyond the operating voltage range of the ESC. |Adjust the power-on voltage and ensure it’s in the operating voltage range of the ESC. |- |The ESC didn’t work after it was powered on while the motor kept beeping. |"B-, B-, B-, B-……" |The ESC didn’t receive any throttle signal from the receiver. |Check if the transmitter and receiver are well paired or if any poor connection exists between the ESC and receiver. |- |The ESC didn’t work after it was powered </div> <div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"> on while the motor kept beeping. |"B, B, B, B……" |The throttle stick has not been moved to the bottom position. |Move the throttle stick to the bottom position and calibrate the throttle range. |- |The ESC didn’t work after the throttle calibration while the motor kept beeping. |"B, B, B, B……" |The throttle range you set was too narrow. |Re-calibrate the throttle range. |- |The motor “stuttered” during the flight.
