The
Titan Brushless Speed controllers are proven winners, with more than 50,000
units sold worldwide since 2003. The current lineup includes 10A to
90A controllers supporting 3S to 12S lithium cells maximum depending on type.
NiCd and NiMH are also supported
The newest additions to the range of Hyperion ESC are the "PSB"
and "PSW" lineup (see
pics below), which all have Switching Power Supply BEC (SBEC) on the
controllers. BEC circuits supply power from your main battery pack to
the receiver and servos. "Normal" step-down BEC are limited to 3S
lithium packs as a maximum if you want to use even 3 servos. But our
Cool BEC ESC can power as many as 8 servos, and use main packs up to 6S!
Note that standard Hyperion BEC ESC (not switching BEC), such as the
20A TITAN pictured above left, are appropriate for smaller model airplanes
which typically use 4 servos maximum with lithium packs up to 3S in voltage.
Hyperion uses powerful BEC chips, and also include a heatsink for those
chips which increases time to overload by more than 50% compared to other
brands.
Hyperion engineers did extensive radio noise research during the development
of the PSB and PSW ESC with switching BEC, and developed the NET design
approach (Noise Elimination Technology). Hyperion NET technology is a
suite of techniques to eliminate noise and/or move it to a frequency which
cannot interfere with your receiver. During worldwide testing, TICOOL showed
excellent properties with a wide variety of radio equipment. We include a ferrite bead on
the receiver connector, but it has never been required during extensive test
flights on all common frequencies and various radio equipment. We
suggest range checking with the bead, then remove it and try again. If
you find no difference, you may remove it and save a little weight. It
is just there as backup, in case your model has some unique problem with
setup...
The new 35A PSW (left) is the ultimate ESC for applications such as Trex-450 Class Helicopters, 480-Class EDF Jets,
and 3D Aerobatic models. The TITAN WARNING LED system tells you the state of flight pack voltage during the flight, so you aren't caught off guard when auto-cut kicks in (or even allows you to turn auto-cut off entirely).
Newer high-performance lithium polymer and A123 batteries have very little
capacity remaining at auto-cut time, so TITAN WARNING is a very timely,
"bright idea".
The 4A Cool Switching BEC can handle high loads from Digital Servos and
Gyro, so it is a natural for helicopters, especially those using digital
servos...
And all V3 Firmware ESC are also particularly suited to Helicopters, or
models using A123 batteries.
V3 firmware changes include:
*a super-soft 15-second spool when RPM Control (Gov Mode) is enabled, to spare your main gear
*Auto-Cut Cell Voltage settings from 2.0V to 3.2V/cell, to handle lithium
including A123 Racing cells
*3.1V/Cell default autocut setting, which is best for powerful 16C+,
high-quality lithium polymer packs
*Ability to program NO CUT mode via stick programming (as well as by Emeter
or PC Software)
V31 ESC add these features:
* "Gas Mode" selection under RPM Control section. No RPM control is engaged
in this case, but spool up on first start is very soft, to spare main gear
from damage.
* HV ESC have ACCELERATION DELAY settings added, to avoid stalling motor
when throttle is advanced very quickly with large props and high voltage
batteries.
All the Hyperion brushless controllers
have a rich set of programming features which can be set either by stick
commands from your transmitter, via the programming interface in the
Hyperion Emeter, or by Hyperion PC Cable and software.
Our ESC processor is a well-proven type, and the software is the result of nearly four years of refinement and testing. The result is extremely smooth motor starts, no matter the motor type, and high efficiency at all throttle positions.
