USER MANUAL XRotor X13-13825 Hobbywing

01 Introduction

The COMBO-Xrotor-X13 brushless power system is a plant protection power system that adapts to a single-rotor load of 25-27kg/rotor. The maximum thrust of a single-rotor is 53kg+, it is suitable for a 50mm carbon fiber tube arm; the overall waterproof level is IPX6, and it is resistant to rain, rain pesticides, salt spray, high temperature, dust, impact, mud and sand resistance; the ESC uses FOC vector control, based on PMSM system algorithm optimization; the system has digital throttle and analog throttle, which can make the flight more stable; the system has power-on automatic detection, power-on voltage abnormal protection, over-current protection, stall protection and other protection functions; use CAN communication, with real-time data transmission; built-in fault storage function, and records fault data.

02 Safety Precautions

• When use it please keep away from crowd, high voltage cable and obstacles and conform to safety regulations.
• Never approach to the high-speed rotating propeller & motor to avoid being injured by propeller.
• Check all the components conditions before use. If there is any damaged component, please contact after-sale service for replacement
• Check if the mounting screws, and all connecting parts before flight.
  • Always make sure the motor is horizontal before flight.
• The X13 power system is connected to a circular tube arm with a diameter of 50mm.
• The color of the power system navigation light can be selected. After removing the light housing, you can select the desired color by flipping the dial switch.
• The CAN function can only be used when the flight controller has a CAN Channe
• This function can be realized only when the flight controller has a CAN channel.
• There is no digital throttle for serial communication. Serial communication is optional for this power system.

03 Components of the Power System

04 Power system installation

• The whole power system has been assembled before leaves the factory. Unpack and take out the power system to install on the rack agricultural as per the rotation direction of motor.
• The yellow, gray and green cables are the data output. Upgrade signal wire (ESC system is upgradable) and digital throttle using the Hobbywing CAN protocol. The yellow wire is ground wire, the gray wire is CAN-Hinb(CH), and the green wire is CAN-Low(CL).
• The optional serial communication power system. Yellow, red and green cables are the data output and update signal line (the ESC system can be updated).
• The black and white is the PWM throttle wire, the black wire is ground wire, and the white wire is signal wire.
  • The data signal line outputs in real time; the input and output throttle, motor speed, bus current, phase current, bus voltage, capacitor temperature, Mosfet temperature and other data
• The throttle pulse width was fixed at 1050\~1950μs.
• The CAN digital throttle needs to be adapted separately by the flight controller and the Hobbywing CAN protocol. Please obtain the protocol from Hobbywing sales, after-sales service, agents, flight control manufacturers, etc.

07 Protective function

• 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 act as warning sign.
• 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 cycle 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 230A, the ESC will restart immediately, and the output will be turned off if the number of detections reaches 6
  When it detects that the instantaneous current abnormality reaches close to 32.6A, the consecutive times. After the motor stops, it will return to normal after power 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.
  • Temperature protection:
  This power system has no temperature protection, and will only send out an alarm when the temperature of the ESC is higher than 110°C. The flashing lights will be 1 long and 3 short, and 1 long and 4 short. When the temperature exceeds 120 degrees, the ESC may be burnt. Upon seeing the prompt, please land immediately.

3 Replacing the propeller

• Use the appropriate tools to take out the two propeller fastening screws and replace them with new 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
  Firstl, 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 thread locker is used at the same time.
