Hobbywing 120A V3.1 Set Up issues

[Dynamite Arrows]

Hello all,

I've just installed a new Hobbywing 120A V3.1 , wired up , and am unable to either get into set up mode or to set it up .

When holding the button down on the ESC the red light continually flashes and ESC beeps continuously , fist thing , is this right that it goes on continually ? or is something already wrong .

I don't have the set up box so am only setting up with the ESC itself .

So, assuming the above is correct , I'm pressing in neutral , holding at full speed , then press , full brake then press etc .

When I do this , the beeping and light stop , but the green light never lights and the set up does not complete .

Servo works fine and battery voltage from a 7.4v 5500 saddle is around 8.5 volts , motor is a Thunder Power 8.5 .

Any help appreciated

Peter

Continual beep can mean short circuit, bad phase rotation or other fault, try other motor, battery and get a set up box anyway

Is it possible to overtighten the timing screws on the motor? would this have any effect?

charged batteries?
ABC correct?
Sensor wire in?
binded radio to RX
does the servo work?

Sounds like it doesn't "like" the radio inputs that it sees. Does it confirm (with the beeps) after each stage - i.e after you set neutral and full throttle??

Some radios also need to be reversed in their settings to work with some ESC's.

Agree with Matt, whatever direction the throttle stick is now, reverse it on your radio and try again. Make sure that you are at 100% stick throw for both forward and brake. HTH
