Operation:
1. Himax Brushless motors require brushless sensorless speed controls. Failure to use a brushless sensorless elec-tronic speed control (ESC) can result in damage to the motor and/or ESC. A Castle Creations Phoenix series ESC is recommended for best performance. The standard setting for timing advance is recommended for best operation.
2. The three wires of the motor can be connected to the three output leads of the ESC in any order. Check the direction of rotation of the motor. If the motor spins in the wrong direction switching any
two of the motor wires will reverse rotation. Be sure to insulate the wires to prevent shorting which may damage the ESC.
3. Do not shorten the motor wires. Shortening or cutting the motor wires voids the warranty and may cause motor failure. If the supplied connectors are not to be used, remove them by desoldering. DO NOT CUT THE CONNECTORS OFF!
4. Allow for proper cooling of the motor during operation. With extremely high capacity batteries, care must be taken to prevent excessive motor temperature. Overheating of the motor is not covered under warranty. Insufficient cooling can result in overheated motors, even when operated at moderate power levels.
5. Do not disassemble the motor. Disassembling the motor voids the warranty. If service is required please return the unit to Maxx Products for service.
6. Install the propeller after proper rotation has been determined. Consult the ESC operation manual for proper arming and use procedures. Be sure the prop is clear before starting the motor. Once the battery is plugged in stay clear of the prop, electric motors are capable of extremely high torque and can be very dangerous.
Removing or Reversing the Shaft:
1. First of all, never use a hammer or heavy object to pound or tap on the motor. Sharp impact will damage ball bearings and other components.
2. Use an allen wrench to remove the setscrews in the endbell and the wheel collar. The setscrews may be tight because they thread locker is used to secure them.
3. Separate the stator assembly and rotor assembly. This may be tight again because thread locker sometimes seeps between the shaft and ball bearing.
4. In order to maintain critical balance, the shaft fits tightly in the rotating endbell. Use an arbor press or drill press to exert steady pressure to push it out of the endbell. Before applying pressure, make sure the press and shaft are aligned. Avoid using a vise because it is difficult to maintain good alignment with a vise.
5. There are flat spots on the shaft. Depending on the direction of the shaft, install the shaft accordingly and tighten the setscrews.
6. Put the rotor and stator assemblies back together and reinstall the wheel collar. If you wish to use thread locker, use only a removable type.
Choosing a power system:
Power system can be chosen based on the type of flying expected of the model and all up weight of the aircraft. Sedate flying from a hand launch requires 35 watts per pound(W/Lb). Taking off the ground needs approximately 50W/Lb. Aerobatics and good climb performance, 75W/Lb. Anything more than 75W/Lb will result in excellent performance. Based on the weight of the model and the flying desired, the power require can be calculated. Select the voltage of the battery being used. It is best to use a loaded voltage of about 90% of nominal. Now, calculate the current required. From the chart, pick a motor at the voltage you intend to use and find the prop that pull the required current.
Maintenance:
Brushless motors are almost maintenance free, so minimal care is required for long life. Keep the motor clean free of dust and dirt, especially the bearings. Dirty bearings wear quickly. Lubricate the bearings regularly with light oil. Do not immerse the motor in water, or solvents. Do not bend the wires excessively and secure wires to prevent breakage due to fatigue from vibration. Always used balanced propellers to reduce loads on bearings, to reduce noise, and reduce stress on the airframe. Be careful to install pinion gears properly. Improperly installed press fit pinion gears can result in damaged bearings, bent or broken shafts, or broken rotor assemblies. If in doubt, use set screw secured or glue-on type gears to prevent damage.
Warranty:
Himax motors have a two year limited warranty to the original owner, excluding gearboxes. All motors are guaranteed to be free from manufacturing defects within two years of date of purchase. Not covered under warranty is crash damage, customer abuse, improper use, or overheating. Warranty claims should be handled directly with Maxx Products, 815 Oakwood Rd, Unit D, Lake Zurich, IL 60047. Be sure to include contact information and a description of the problem including which ESC, battery, and prop was being used.
Service:
Himax motors in need of service should be sent to Maxx Products, 815 Oakwood Rd, Unit D, Lake Zurich, IL 60047. Please include a note explaining the problem. Return shipping for repair estimates must be prepaid.
