The ESC uses FOC-motor PMSM system algorithm optimization. The system has power-on self-test, power-on voltage abnormal protection, over-current protection, stall protection, etc. Protection function, with real-time data transmission.
Precautions
- Please stay away from crowds, high-voltage lines, obstacles, etc. when using, and be sure to follow safety regulations.
- Do not get close to the high-speed rotating propeller and motor to prevent being cut by the blades.
- Please check whether all parts are in good condition before trial use. If there is any damage, contact the after-sales service for replacement in time.
- Before flying, check whether the screws of the connecting structure are loose and whether the motor is level.
- The X11-18S power system is connected to a circular pipe arm with a pipe diameter of 50mm.
- The color of the power system navigation light is optional. After removing the light housing, you can select the desired color by flipping the dial switch.
- After each operation is completed, the motor can be washed with water, and the motor should be kept clean.

Protection
- Start protection：
When the power is connected normally, the ESC will first start the self-test. If the self-test is successful, it will run normally after beeping. If the self-test fails, it will not start and the flashing light will warn. - Stall Protection：
When the ESC detects that the motor is locked, the ESC will completely turn off the output and will not restart the motor. At this time, it is necessary to power on again to clear the error and restart the ESC to restore power output. - Current Protection：
When it detects that the instantaneous current abnormality reaches close to 300A, the ESC will restart immediately, and the output will be turned off if the detection times reach abnormality five times in a row, and it will return to normal after the power is turned on again. - Throttle signal loss protection：
When the ESC detects that the throttle remote control signal is lost for more than 0.25 seconds, it will immediately turn off the output to avoid greater losses caused by the continued high-speed rotation of the propeller. After the signal is restored, the ESC will immediately restore the corresponding power output.

| Continuous single shod flash (1 second for each interval) | No beep | Phase is abnormal. | Contact after sales service |
4. Replacing the propeller
- Use the appropriate tools to take out the two propeller fastening screws in and replace them with intact propellers. If you need to replace the propeller clips, continue to take out the fastening screws and replace the whole set of propeller clips and propellers.
- Installing the propeller clip blades
– Firstly, install the bottom cover on the motor, followed by the propeller blades, propeller gaskets, upper cover (propeller clips) and the final screws in order; pay attention to the installation of the propeller screws
After clamping, the propeller should rotate freely, and make sure that the propeller clamp and the motor fastening screw are tightened and screw glue is used at the same time.
5. Firmware upgrade
Use the Hobbywing DataLink V2 box to upgrade the program, and ESC not supported DataLink V1 box. Upgrade step according to the DataLink V2 box user of manual.
6. ESC work data checking
- Use the Hobbywing DataLink box to check ESC work data. According to the DataLink V2 box user of manual.
- ESC work data by serial communication. Flight control needs to support Haoying protocol to obtain ESC data.
After-sale maintenance
In the event that the equipment of the power system is damaged, please contact Hobbywing after-sales customer service immediately.
Under the premise of not affecting the performance, make sure that you can use the Hobbywing power system kit accessories for replacement after contacting the customer service. Users are prohibited from configuring accessories by themselves (such as screws, paddle clips, propellers) for replacement.
