1.0 Connecting your ESC

* Please refer to the diagram on Page 3 to properly connect your ESC.

1.1 Add your battery connector

You must attach a quality battery connector of your choice to the red (positive) and black (negative) power wires. Solder the battery connector to the wires. ENSURE THAT THE POLARITY IS CORRECT (red wire (positive) to battery red wire (positive), black wire (negative) to battery black wire (negative)). Follow the instructions provided with the battery connector.

1.2 Connect Motor to ESC

We recommend using bullet connectors to connect your ESC to your motor as most of the Scorpion motors come with pre-installed bullet connectors that include a female set for your ESC. Solder the corresponding connectors for your motor to the wires coming from the ESC, or solder the motor wires directly to the motor leads. You may find it convenient to temporarily connect the motor leads to the ESC and test for proper rotation before you permanently solder them. Once connected DO NOT allow any exposed wire or connectors to contact each other! Ensure that a proper insulation material (such as heat shrink) is around each of the three wires. Failure to do so will cause the ESC to malfunction and void your warranty.

1.3 Connect to your receiver / External Governor / External BEC

Connect the receiver load (Master: the three colored small wires: black, red, white) with a black plastic connector on the end) to the throttle channel on your receiver and connect the other lead (Slave: the three colored small wires: brown, red, yellow) to an external governor or external BEC, unplug the yellow (signal) wire if if you do not use the RPM signal for telemetry or external governor (e.g. VBar governor).

1.4 Mounting the ESC

Mount the ESC with the Heatsink side of the controller facing outward. We recommend using a "Scorpion Fastening Strap" to attach the ESC to the airframe for easy removal. Double sided tape is acceptable for mounting as well. If zip ties are used, do not place them over any of the components on the ESC. Instead, zip tic around the metal heat sink, leaving some slack to allow some movement.

1.5 Tribunus ESC BEC

For safety reasons we recommend using a Scorpion backup guard or a backup battery. The Backup guard can be used on any BTC voltage from 5.1 to 8.3V. If the BTC voltage is set to 7.3V or 8.3V use a 25 LiPo. Connect the BEC backup parallel to the receiver or Flybarless system. Make sure that the Backup guard is charged or the 25 LiPo battery voltage matches to the set BEC Voltage before every flight. Also make sure all used RC components are designed to run at the set BEC voltage.

2.0 Using your Scorpion Tribunus ESC

2.1 Ensure that the initial setup has been performed before using your ESC.
2.2 Ensure that the ESC is connected to the proper channel on your receiver.
2.3 Turn your transmitter ON and set the throttle stick to zero throttle.

Connect the main power battery to the ESC.2.4

2.5 The ESC will beep the motor with Morse code when power up;Power On Sound(POS).

Power On Sound - Voltage in Morse code.
To arm the LSC ready for use, you must disconnect the battery, then move the throttle stick to zero position and recommend to power-up.
Always power your radio transmitter before powering up the receiver and/or the ESC. Some receivers with tail safe fixtures or Spectrum receiver units that are not found on receiver power up are entirely capable of causing the arming sequence to occur and comment the ESC to draw the motor. Always keep the installed restored and clear of body parts when the ESC is powered.
If your LSC cannot sense any radio signal it will beep the motor and flash green on the LED with Morse code.

3.0 Scorpion Tribunus ESC Programming Feature

All Scorpion Tribunus Series ESC programming features are available though the use of the PC programming.

Scorpion ESC's come with default factory settings which are recommended for most applications. Programming options can be changed at the discretion of the user.

Safe Power up	To avoid the controller, the throttle must be held in the “Zone” postural state window. If this is not at zero at startup, the ESC will not provide any power to the motor regardless of where the throttle stick is posted when first powered up.
Loss of Signal (fail safe)	The Scorpion FSC will stop the motor as a safety feature when the throttle signal is lost or complete for 13 seconds.
LED*	The LED is used for indicate the status of your Scorpion Tribunus ESC, it shows with More code that can yet know the status of the ESC

Low Voltage Cutoff	You can choose for your EIC to stop or reduce power when the input battery voltage drops in pre-wel-organized low voltage.
Current Limiting	Amp output limit, the output is rated at 10% over the relief Amp. At approximately 15% over the roll Amps it will automatically limit the output to first motor, as long as the motor first ratio of 10% over the EIC spectrum limits, this safety mechanism will prevent a over lead to the LSC, but if you install a motor for example rated at 10% comps on a FSC that are rated for only 8% Amps, this mechanism will not work properly due to the instant surge of power demand from the motor, it may shutdown currently or simply fly the EIC, the only solution to this is to never use a Motor that has a rising bigger than the LSC, don't even think your can use if you run the motor at a power split or read it will not work and find your warranty.
Thermal Protection	At set value, the LSC will slowdown the power output to the motor to the set value of protection (the or below) if EIC will fail. More cards I (temperature alarm), after the LSC has one down to under set value you can then throttle up again.
Brake	slope rotation of the motor when the throttle signal is moved to the lowest position.
Throttle	Airplane and Hall maders come pre-programmion and can be selected by the motor.
Electronic Timing	Electronic Timing and drive frequency are Automatically and dynamically set that may improve the efficiency of the drive system!

4.0 Initial Setup

You MUST perform throttle range calibration before the first use of the ESC, except if you are using external governor mode, remove propeller/pinion from motor or back off pinion from main gear while performing initial throttle range calibration.

5.0 Throttle Calibration

5.1 Turn on transmitter and receiver, then set throttle to maximum position be sure that your throttle curve is set at 0% minimum throttle and 100% at maximum.
5.2 Connect the battery to the ESC. After few seconds you will hear one beep. Now move your throttle to the lowest position, then you will hear two beeps, and POS Morse code come from the motor, this mean your calibration is done. You only need to do this once as throttle range will be stored in the memory of the speed controller. You can reset the throttle range by performing steps 5.1 to 5.2 again.

SETTING UP AUTOROTATION BAILOUT

***IMPORTANT! Before setting up Autorotation Bailout please remove your pinion, or remove both your main rotor and tail rotor blades!!!***

In your transmitter, assign a switch to Throttle Hold. Once assigned to a switch, adjust the Throttle Hold value so that the Throttle % on the radio correlates to 20% (19% - 29% is OK) on the Scorpion Heli ESC value in the software. Congratulations, you have now activated Autorotation Bailout mode on your Tribunus ESC.

To confirm that you have indeed setup Autorotation Bailout Mode correctly, spool up your machine to Idle Up 1 or Idle Up 2, then click Throttle Hold. Wait 1 or 2 seconds, then click back out of Throttle Hold. The throttle should quickly come back up to your Idle Up 1/2 Headspeed.

NOTE: If you have flipped your Throttle Hold switch and activated Autorotation Bailout and wish to have your Headspeed come up back up slowly (as it should when first spooling up), you must first go to 0% throttle first, then spool up normally.

AIRPLANE

This is the page where you set up your Airplane Settings.

*Only adjusts Airplane settings when the Airplane Mode is activated in the previous menu- Device Mode*

12.2 Airplane mode

AIRPLANE MENU

DRAG BRAKE Adjusts the amount of brake enabled. If 0% is selected, the propeller will free-wheel in forward flight with the throttle at the 0% position. If 100% is selected, the propeller will not move in forward flight with the throttle at the 0% position.

RUMP ACCELERATION: Adjusts the overall time that it takes for the motor to spool up from 0% to 100%. For example, a larger aircraft such as a 50CC plane will require a value of about 1,000ms. A smaller aircraft with a 1 to 1.5 meter wingspan will require a smaller value of about 350ms or similar.

PWM MODE: Adjusts the way in which the ESC drives the motor. Regular: Operates as a standard ESC would without regenerative braking Complimentary: Actively slows down the motor when throttle is reduced (best for Multirotors or aircraft that require regenerative braking)

CUTOFF POWER: Adjusts the overall amount of RPM drop for when any of the following conditions are met: MIN VOLTAGE, MAX TEMPERATURE, MAX AMPERAGE, BATTERY MAX CAPACITY. (See below for clarity)

BATTERY MAX CAPACITY: Allows the user to enter a desired amount of battery capacity- which when met will trigger the BATTERY MAX CAPACITY protection, and then drop the RPM down by the CUTOFF POWER %. It is very useful to set this instead of a timer to know when your battery has been drained to a pre-set level. (See below for clarity)

For example, let's say a user enters 3.7Ah into BATTERY MAX POWER. When the ESC has detected that 3.7Ah (or 3,700 milliamp hours) of the battery has been consumed, the ESC will cut the main power down to the percentage that is entered in CUTOFF POWER. This means, if a pilot is flying with a headspeed of 2,000 RPM and enters 85% into CUTOFF POWER with 3.7Ah entered in BATTERY MAX CAPACITY, after 3.7Ah has been consumed, the headspeed will immediately drop down to 1700 RPM and stay at that headspeed until the pilot lands and shuts down the ESC.

** If "0" is entered into CUTOFF POWER, BATTERY MAX CAPACITY, MIN VOLTAGE, MAX TEMPERATURE or MAX AMPERAGE, this feature will not be active**

STATE TRACKING LOGGING

12.4 State tracking and Logging

STATE TRACKING

STATE TRACKING shows a live view of your ESC. With the flight battery plugged in and the ESC connected, the user is able to see Throttle, RPM of the Motor, Voltage, Current, CPU Temperature, MOSFET Temperature, Power, and BEC Voltage of the ESC at any time. This can be helpful especially when troubleshooting a particular problem.

LOGGING

LOGGING allows the user to save and read a log from a particular flight. Users are able to save/read Throttle Percentage, Current, Voltage, Amp/Hours, Temperature, Power, BEC Voltage, and RPM during the flight. For your data to show properly, make sure you have setup your Motor Pair Poles value and Gear ratio in Help -> Preferences.
