Product Use Statement: |
Monitor motor temperatures closely; overheating a motor will cause permanent damage to the magnets. Never exceed 180° F on the the motor or ESC. |
| Running Modes: | SmartSense™ (with Castle Sensor capable ESC), Sensored and an ultra-efficient Sensorless mode. |
| Tech Tips: | Water Resistant Design: The sensor board is coated with silicone conformal coating to protect the sensors from moisture. The sensor connections are not water resistant; water can cause signal loss which could result in loss of sensored capabilities. Castle recommends applying dielectric grease to the outside of the sensor wire connections after installation of the wire. Routine maintenance is recommended after running in wet conditions. Please refer to instructions for running and maintaining motors in wet environments. |
