Hyperion Titan Series ESC Programming- VIA Radio and Throttle Stick!
For Tx stick programming, the motor serves as the speaker - so connect your
brushless motor to the Titan ESC first.
Remove the propeller from the motor before starting programming!
Futaba Transmitters should have the throttle set to servo REVERSE before using
the Titan ESC.
Switch on the transmitter and push to the throttle stick to full throttle.
Connect the motor battery pack with the TITAN ESC switch OFF.
Wait for 5 seconds; you’ll hear these tones __ -- when setup mode is entered.
Follow the tones listed below for each programming function.
When you hear the tones for your desired function, pull the throttle down, then
you’ll hear two confirmation tones. The setting is now memorized. You can only
change one setting at a time, if you need to change more settings, disconnect
the motor battery pack and wait 5 seconds, and repeat the procedure for next
setting. It is really very easy to program the Titan. To familiarize yourself
with the ESC, let it go through all the tones once, as you follow the text
below.
Brake Mode On/Off
To change brake mode, pull the throttle stick within 5 seconds of first setup
mode tones __ --
After changing the brake mode, the ESC responds with these confirmations:
Brake mode changed to OFF _ - (double tone)
Brake mode changed to ON _ (single tone)

Low Voltage Cutoff Behavior
If the motor battery pack drops to the programmed cut-off voltage, the
controller will reduce the motor speed or stop the motor, depending on the
setting below, to ensure that there is enough power for the receiver and servos.
You can resume full power by setting throttle to full stop for a moment and
return to full throttle, but remember that it’s time to land your model!
Soft Auto-Cut (reduce rpm): - _ - _ - _ - _ - _ (normal for sport models)
Hard Auto-Cut (full stop): _ - _ - _ - _ - _ - (normal for gliders)
Soft start (Acceleration)
When gearbox drive system is used Soft Start is highly recommended.
You may disable the Soft Start function when direct-drive motors are used.
Enable: V V V V V
Disable: VV VV VV VV VV
Timing Advance
The controller has three timing modes; Automatic works for ALL types of
brushless motors. But for some high-pole-count or homemade brushless motors, you
may want to try hard timing for optimal efficiency and power.
Auto 7~30 degrees: - - - - -
Soft 7 degrees: -- -- -- -- --
Hard 22 ~ 30 degrees: --- --- --- --- ---
Switching Frequency
The controller has two switching frequency modes. The default 8 kHz works well
with almost all motors, but you may see a gain in efficiency at 16 kHz setting
for high-pole-count motors such as Hyperion Z Series Outrunners.
8 kHz: \ \ \ \ \
16 kHz: / / / / /

CAUTIONS!
To avoid inadvertent damage to your expensive lithium pack, the default setting
for battery type is “3S Lithium”.
If you are using 2S lithium or NiMH/NiCd packs, you MUST program the battery
type before using the Titan ESC.
NEVER reverse the polarity from battery to Titan ESC! Be careful, please.
Futaba transmitters should have throttle channel set to “reverse”.
Always test the Titan ESC with your transmitter and receiver before actual use.
When testing, be sure the motor is properly mounted, without propeller attached.
Be sure to check that no one is using your frequency before flight.
Always position yourself behind a spinning propeller, not in front.
Be sure to switch off the Titan ESC and Disconnect the Battery Pack immediately
after your flight has ended.
RC aircraft power systems are dangerous. Please act with caution accordingly.
Warranty
Hyperion Titan brushless speed controllers are fully guaranteed against defects
in material or workmanship for 12 months from date of purchase. The warranty
does NOT cover damage to reverse-polarity connection of the battery, water or
crash damage, nor any other claim not arising from a defect in materials or
assembly. You must contact your selling dealer with details of the problem
before making a return. In most cases, the problem is an issue with radio or
controller setup, and can easily be resolved at no expense to you. Controllers
returned without notice in which defects are not found will only be returned to
the sender at his expense.
Crash, water, or reverse-polarity damaged Hyperion Titan ESC may be exchanged
with your seller for a 40% discount on new replacement.
Many Happy Flights!
