Quark Brushless Systems

 

Instruction Manual for Quark Universal

 

 

Precautions:

 

o   WARNING!  High-powered brushless systems can be very dangerous as high currents can heat and/or melt wires and batteries, causing fire, property damage, and serious bodily injury (including death).  Follow the Instruction Manual carefully.  Only operate in a sanctioned area.  Quark ESC is equipped with a safety-arming feature, but users should still use caution when connecting the battery.

o   The Quark Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) complies with FCC and CE regulations.  CE approval is your guarantee the unit meets all the relevant interference emission and rejection regulations when in operation.

o   The battery wires must be connected with correct polarity.  ESC may be damaged if the polarity is incorrect and will VOID WARRANTY.

o   Quark ESC is designed for operation exclusively with R/C batteries.  DO NOT use ESCs in conjunction with a power supply.  Energy reversal may occur which can damage/destroy the power supply and/or ESC and will VOID WARRANTY.

o   When Motor and Battery are connected to the ESC, handle the model with Extreme Care! Keep clear of moving/rotating parts when the battery pack is connected.

o   Do not exceed the specified voltages as it may cause an overload, damage the ESC, and VOID WARRANTY.

o   Do not use Schottky Diodes or Condensers with Brushless Motors.

o   Ni-MH and Ni-CD may be used in place of each other, but never in place of Li-Poly.

o   Exercise Caution during and after use as the motor, battery, controller and all connecting wires may become hot.  Contact with your skin may cause a burn or serious bodily injury. 

o   The ON/OFF switch on the ESC does not disconnect the battery from the ESC.  A low residual current flows even if the power switch is ¡°OFF¡± and can cause deep under loading, especially with Li-Poly batteries.  Connect the battery to the ESC shortly before operation and disconnect shortly after use.

o   Never disconnect the battery pack while the motor is running, as this could cause damage to the ESC and/or motor.

o   Safeguard the ESC from excessive mechanical loads, vibration, dirt, or moisture. Should the ESC become wet, only reuse after air-drying for an extended period.  If malfunction ensues, it may be sent to manufacturer for repair.

o   Allowing water, lubricants, moisture or other foreign materials inside the ESC will VOID WARRANTY.  Exposure to CA glue or its fumes can cause the ESC damage and it may malfunction; this will VOID WARRANTY.

o   ESC needs to be completely checked after a crash.  Never use a damaged ESC.

o   The heat sink on the ESC must be used for maximum cooling and performance – Never allow separate heat sinks to touch each other or any exposed conductive surface.  This may cause a short circuit, damage ESC, and VOID WARRANTY.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.0          Installation of Quark Controller

 

¡€    Motor wires can be connected to the ESC in any order.  If the motor rotates in the opposite direction, swap any two of the three motor wires to reverse the motor rotation. 

¡€    Please connect the servo plug to the proper throttle channel of the receiver. 

¡€    Use high quality connectors for battery and motor wires.  Connectors with low conductivity may cause erratic motor rotations or other unexpected movements.  For the battery, use connectors that cannot be plugged in backwards to prevent incorrect polarization. Comply with the allowed voltage capacity of the connectors.  When possible, direct soldering is recommended for best conductivity.

¡€    Do not mount the motor in the R/C before all wires are properly soldered and/or connected.  Mount the motor only after everything has been connected and is working properly.

¡€    When connecting ESC to the battery pack, ensure that multiple touches of the connectors are not made.

¡€    Check the motor manufacturer¡¯s instruction manual for screw mounting length.  Mounting longer screws can damage and/or short-circuit the ESC and/or motor and VOID WARRANTY. 

¡€    Wires connecting the ESC to the motor and the battery should be kept as short as possible, preferably less than 20 cm. 

 

 

2.0    Initial Setup

 

¡€          Reset all the functions of the throttle channels of the transmitter.

¡€          Set the throttle curve to Linear.

¡€          Set the EPA, ATV ¡Ÿ 100, throttle trim to center.

¡€          The fail safe systems of a PCM Transmitter must be turned off.

¡€          Double check the polarity of the battery wires.

¡€          Warning!! 

o         The motor should not be connected to moving parts during programming because the vehicle may move and result in property damage and/or personal injury. 

o         The default battery setting is Li-Poly Normal.  When using a Ni-MH or Ni-Cd battery, please change the settings to prevent damage to the battery.

This is the starting point for all programming.  It allows the user to set Minimum (Low)/Neutral and Maximum throttle positions.  All transmitters emit their own transmitter signals and have varying Minimum (Low)/Neutral and Maximum throttle positions and thus, it is the necessary first step in the overall ESC programming.  Throttle stick in center position.

 

 

1)             Turn ¡°ON¡± the Transmitter

2)             Press and hold the Quark program button and then turn ¡°ON¡± the external power switch on ESC.

3)             Release the Quark program button approximately 2 - 3 seconds later.

4)             Move the throttle stick until you hear a recognition beep (¡°¢Ü¡±).

¡€    The red LED will blink once at this time.

5)             Move the throttle stick to the desired Minimum (Low) / Neutral Throttle Position and press the Quark program button and release.  You will hear another recognition beep (¡°¢Ý¡±) signaling that the Neutral position has been saved.

6)             Move the throttle stick until you will hear a recognition beep (¡°¢Ý¡±).

¡€    The red LED light will blink twice at this time.

7)             Move the throttle stick to the desired Maximum/Full Throttle Position and press the Quark program button and release.

8)             You will hear two recognition beeps (¡°¢Ý¢Ý ¡°) signaling that the Maximum/Full Throttle Position has been saved

9)             Turn ¡°Off¡± the external ESC power switch.

* Default battery setting is Li-Poly Normal.  When using a Ni-MH battery, please change the settings to prevent any damage to the battery. 

* Selection of Li-Poly High or Ni-MH High should only be selected when the discharge capacity of the battery exceeds the actual current used in extreme running conditions by at least by 150% (When the discharge capacity is insufficient to handle the actual current usage in such instances, driving feel may be affected and/or battery damage may result).

* Exercise Caution when setting the cut-off voltages.  When the voltage per cell falls below a certain level, a Li-Poly battery may be permanently damaged making it un-rechargeable.  In extreme cases, it may cause fire. 

* The ¡°Manual¡± cut-off voltage applies to only Li-Poly batteries.

* Once you have selected ¡°Manual¡± from table 3.2-4 and set the cut-off voltage manually, switching the battery type to an automatic cut-off will not automatically change the cut-off voltage.  (For example: If you have selected ¡°Manual¡± and a cut-off voltage of 2.2V, any attempts to change the battery selection to ¡°Li-Poly Normal¡± or ¡°Li-Poly High¡± will maintain the cut-off voltage of 2.2V and thus, the cut-off voltage must be reprogrammed).

2.       Turn power ¡°OFF¡± on the Transmitter and turn it back ¡°ON¡±

 (without powering OFF the Quark.)

 

Governor response characteristic setting

 

The pilot must take into consideration factors such as aircraft weight, motor characteristics, battery capacity/brand and other variables, which will affect and respond differently to each individual¡¯s precise 3-D flights. 

 

The pilot must monitor and test their own flight style and aircraft characteristics and variables.  Programming needs to be done by collecting the best test data.  This is done by an advanced pilot and requires precise skills and knowledge and full understanding on programming. 

 

 

 

5.0   Programming Tips

a. Programming Sounds

 

                    Quark generates a recognition sound in the following situations:

o         Quark Power ON: ¢Ý¢Ý

o         Transmitter ON: ¢Ý¢Ý¢Ý

o         Minimum Throttle Position: ¢Ý¢Ý¢Ý¢Ý¢Ý

o         Program Data Saved: ¢Ü

For example, when the transmitter is turned on and the throttle stick is at the minimum position the following successive sounds will be generated when ESC¡¯s power switch is turned On:  ¡° ¢Ý¢Ý ~ ¢Ý¢Ý¢Ý ~ ¢Ý¢Ý¢Ý¢Ý¢Ý ¡°

 

                b. Trouble Shooting

 

¡€          When the ¡°Quark Power ON¡± sound is not generated:  Check the battery connection and if the power switch is ¡°On¡±. 

¡€          When the ¡°Transmitter ON¡± sound is not generated:  Check the transmitter and receiver crystals and that the Receiver wires are properly connected.

¡€          When the ¡°Minimum Throttle Position¡± sound is not generated: refer to section 3.1 and reprogram the Minimum (Low) Neutral/Maximum throttle position settings.  You may also adjust the Transmitter¡¯s throttle EPAs and Trims.

¡€          Also another quick point to bear in mind, is that if after setting the Minimum (Low) & Maximum throttle settings you cannot get some of the lower end LED¡¯s to light on some Table options, add an extra 2% to the travel ATV¡¯s at that point.

¡€          After using Heli mode, the user must reprogram Quark ESC when changing from Heli mode to Air mode.  (Example:  If the user sets the brake to 0% in Air mode, after Heli mode with the slow start feature, brake will still be active due to the heli slow start feature.

 

 

 

6.0   OPTO Modification

 

* OPTO Modification must be applied when using batteries above Ni-MH 10cell Li-Poly 4 Cell. When done user must use a digital BEC or a Receiver battery.

 

Disconnect or remove the red wire from the middle pin of the socket.
