Programming the Titan ESC via Transmitter Stick

l            For Tx stick programming, the motor serves as the speaker - so connect your brushless motor to the Titan ESC first.

l            Remove the propeller from the motor before starting programming!

l            Futaba Transmitters should have the throttle set to servo REVERSE before using the Titan ESC.

l            Switch on the transmitter and set the throttle stick to full throttle.

l            Connect the flight battery pack to TITAN ESC

l            Wait for 5 seconds; you’ll hear these tones  __ --  when setup mode is entered.

l            Follow the tones listed below for each programming function.

l            When you hear the tones for your desired function, pull the throttle down, then you’ll hear two confirmation tones. The setting is now memorized.  You can only change one setting at a time, if you need to change more settings, disconnect the motor battery pack and wait 5 seconds, and repeat the procedure for next setting.  It is really very easy to program the Titan.  To familiarize yourself with the ESC, let it go through all the tones once, as you follow the text below.

Brake Mode On/Off

To change brake mode, pull the throttle stick within 5 seconds of first setup mode tones __ --  
After changing the brake mode, the ESC responds with these confirmations:

Brake mode changed to OFF  _ -  (double tone)
Brake mode changed to ON   _     (single tone)

3S Lithium:      ...  ...  ...  ...  ...

4S Lithium:      ....  ....  ....  ....  ....                for BEC type 50A+ controllers using 4S+, disconnect the red

Low Voltage Cutoff Behavior

If the motor battery pack drops to the programmed cut-off voltage, the controller will reduce the motor speed or stop the motor, depending on the setting below, to ensure that there is enough power for the receiver and servos. You can resume full power by setting throttle to full stop for a moment and return to full throttle, but remember that it’s time to land your model!

Soft Auto-Cut (reduce rpm):     - _  - _  - _  - _  - _     (normal for sport models)

Hard Auto-Cut (full stop):         _ -  _ -  _ -  _ -  _ -     (normal for gliders)

Soft start (Acceleration)

When gearbox drive system is used Soft Start is highly recommended.

You may disable the Soft Start function when direct-drive motors are used.

Enable:            V  V  V  V  V

Disable:           VV  VV  VV  VV  VV

Timing Advance

The controller has three timing modes; Automatic works for ALL types of brushless motors. But for some high-pole-count or homemade brushless motors, you may want to try hard timing for optimal efficiency and power.

Auto        7~30 degrees:                      -   -   -   -   -

Soft               7 degrees:                       --   --   --   --   --

Hard    22 ~ 30 degrees:               ---   ---   ---   ---   ---

Switching Frequency

The controller has two switching frequency modes. The default 8 kHz works well with almost all motors, but you may see a gain in efficiency at 16 kHz setting for high-pole-count motors such as Hyperion Z Series Outrunners.

8 kHz:              \   \   \   \   \

16 kHz:            /   /   /   /   /

Rotation reverse

Reverse Motor Rotation:         W  W  W  W  W

Active RPM Control (Governor Mode)

rpm control off:           _._   _._   _._    _._    _._ 

low rpm range:            _.._   _.._   _.._   _.._   _.._

middle rpm range:      _..._   _..._   _..._   _..._   _..._

high rpm range:          _...._   _...._   _...._   _...._   _...._

CAUTIONS!

·          To avoid inadvertent damage to your expensive lithium pack, the default setting for battery type is “3S Lithium”.
If you are using 2S lithium or NiMH/NiCd packs, you MUST program the battery type before using the Titan ESC.

·          NEVER reverse the polarity from battery to Titan ESC! Be careful, please.

·          Futaba transmitters should have throttle channel set to “reverse”.
Always test the Titan ESC with your transmitter and receiver before actual use.

·          When testing, be sure the motor is properly mounted, without propeller attached.

·          Be sure to check that no one is using your frequency before flight.

·          Always position yourself behind a spinning propeller, not in front.

·          Be sure to switch off the Titan ESC and Disconnect the Battery Ppack immediately after your flight has ended.

·          RC aircraft power systems are dangerous.  Please act with caution accordingly.

Warranty
Hyperion Titan brushless speed controllers are fully guaranteed against defects in material or workmanship for 12 months from date of purchase.  The warranty does NOT cover damage to reverse-polarity connection of the battery, water or crash damage, nor any other claim not arising from a defect in materials or assembly.  You must contact your selling dealer with details of the problem before making a return.  In most cases, the problem is an issue with radio or controller setup, and can easily be resolved at no expense to you.  Controllers returned without notice in which defects are not found will only be returned to the sender at his expense.

Crash, water, or reverse-polarity damaged Hyperion Titan ESC may be exchanged with your national distributor for a 40% discount on new replacement. Postage costs for crash replacement progam are the user's responsibility.

Many Happy Flights!
