Startup Sequence for sepearte Receiver Power?

AussieBigMal · 07-20-2012, 07:21 AM

Hi, I have searched the forum but cannot find.

What is the correct startup sequence for powering up the the ESC and the Electrics on my new 700 DFC?

Currently 1: Transmitter, 2: ESC, 3: Electrics.

Seems to work but I am unsure, this is my first BIG heli.

Thanks for your help

1. Tx

2. Electronics

3. ESC - which should not init without electronics running.

Turning the bird off is the opposite. You never want ESC powered without radio running.

How this thing is wired? When I plug power to TX all my electronics has power too.
How do you separate them - is it necessary?

Tx = transmitter. That gets turned on first.

There are several ways. I run bec off of 1st 6s pack so I can do setup, etc., without ESC on. If you use rx pack, then you can do the same. Rx on first, ESC when ready to fly.
