Proper installation is crucial for the performance and safety of your ESC. Follow these steps carefully:
4.1 വയറിംഗ് കണക്ഷനുകൾ
- Connect the ESC's three black motor wires to your motor's connectors. The order of connection determines the motor's rotation direction.
- Connect the ESC's black-red-white 3-pin signal wire to your receiver's throttle channel (usually channel 3).
- Ensure all connections are secure and insulated with heat shrink tubing.

4.2 ESC മൌണ്ട് ചെയ്യുന്നു
Choose a location that has good airflow to offer best cooling to prevent overheating. Do NOT cover the side with the flat heat shield with hook and loop tape or any other material as this will greatly lower its effectiveness. Mount the ESC with a combination of hook and loop tape or 2-sided foam tape.

5. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ
Always perform throttle calibration before the first use or if you change your transmitter.
5.1 ത്രോട്ടിൽ കാലിബ്രേഷൻ
- നിങ്ങളുടെ റേഡിയോ ഓണാക്കി ത്രോട്ടിൽ സ്റ്റിക്ക് മുകളിലെ സ്ഥാനത്ത് വയ്ക്കുക.
- Connect the battery pack to the ESC. Wait for about 2 seconds, the motor will beep twice, then pull the throttle to the minimum position. The motor will also beep, which indicates that your ESC has got the signal range of the throttle from your transmitter.

5.2 Programming the ESC
The ZTW Mantis Slim ESC can be programmed using a ZTW Beatles series programming card or directly via your transmitter.
5.2.1 Using an LCD Program Card
- Unplug the ESC throttle cable from the receiver.
- Insert the LCD Program Card G2 into the ESC's throttle cable port.
- Connect the ESC to the battery.
- Wait for the LCD screen to display the power-on interface.
- Press the "ITEM" or "OK" button to enter the parameter setting interface.
- Use the navigation buttons to select parameters and adjust values.
- Upon completion of programming, press the "OK" button to save the parameters.

5.2.2 Setting SMR (Switch Motor Rotation) Function
The SMR function allows you to change the motor rotation direction. It is only allowed to be used when the aircraft is landing on the ground, and it can effectively shorten the landing distance of the aircraft.

6. പരിപാലനം
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your ZTW Mantis Slim ESC, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Keep the ESC clean and free from dust, dirt, and moisture.
- Regularly inspect all wires and connectors for signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
- അമിതമായി ചൂടാകുന്നത് തടയാൻ പ്രവർത്തന സമയത്ത് ESC-ക്ക് ചുറ്റും മതിയായ വായുസഞ്ചാരം ഉറപ്പാക്കുക.
- ഉപയോഗത്തിലില്ലാത്തപ്പോൾ, ESC വരണ്ടതും തണുത്തതുമായ അന്തരീക്ഷത്തിൽ സൂക്ഷിക്കുക.
7. പ്രശ്നപരിഹാരം
നിങ്ങളുടെ ESC-യിൽ പ്രശ്നങ്ങൾ നേരിടുകയാണെങ്കിൽ, ഇനിപ്പറയുന്ന പൊതുവായ ട്രബിൾഷൂട്ടിംഗ് ഘട്ടങ്ങൾ പരിഗണിക്കുക:
- മോട്ടോർ പ്രതികരണമില്ല: Check all wiring connections, ensure the battery is charged, and verify throttle calibration.
- ക്രമരഹിതമായ മോട്ടോർ പെരുമാറ്റം: Recalibrate the throttle. Check for loose motor wires or damaged connectors.
- അമിത ചൂടാക്കൽ: Ensure proper airflow around the ESC. Reduce load if possible.
- ESC Beeping Continuously: Refer to the ESC's beep codes (if available in a separate manual) to diagnose the issue, often related to low voltage or signal loss.
8 സുരക്ഷാ വിവരങ്ങൾ
Always prioritize safety when operating RC equipment. Failure to do so may result in property damage, injury, or death.
- Always connect the battery to the ESC last and disconnect it first.
- Ensure the throttle stick is at the lowest position before connecting the battery.
- Keep hands and loose clothing away from rotating propellers.
- Operate RC aircraft in open areas, away from people, animals, and obstacles.
- Never operate damaged equipment.
- Always observe local laws when you fly a RC aircraft or other RC vehicles.
