Sanwa Super Vortex ESC - set-up?

Post by EvolutionRevolution »

Could someone please help me out with setting up a Sanwa Super Vortex ESC? It has three buttons: N(eutral), H(igh), and P(rogram). Pushing in P changes the led color to orange, but then pushing in N or H doesn't seem to store either the neutral or full throttle position. :(

How are you supposed to set it up?

Tentative set-up procedure for 207HF (probably also 212HF):

- Leave motor disconnected.
- Connect battery.
- Switch on radio and ESC.
- Press "P" button and hold.
- When orange LED lights, release "P" button (orange LED should stay on) and immediately press and hold "N" button.
- Release "N" button when LED turn green.
- Press "P" and hold.
- When orange LED lights, release "P" button (orange LED should stay on) and immediately press and hold "H" button while pushing trigger to full throttle.
- Release "H" button when LED turns red.
- Switch off ESC.
- Connect motor.
- Switch on ESC and test. All should work now.

The intermittent motor issues were apparently caused by an improperly set full throttle setting.
