    Mercury User Manual - May 2010

    SMALLEST IN ITS OWN CLASS ...A break through technology that display real live information through Bluetooth enabled cell-phone

    Thank you for purchasing the mercury,

    worlds first electronic speed controller (esc) that can

    stream measured and calculated current, voltage, rpm,

    throttle level, temperature, watt and mah data right to your

    cell-phone1. By eliminating awkward wires and bulky display

    panel, Mercury is the smallest and lightest in its class, and it

    can easily fit into your electrical powered radio control

    model.

    When within range2, hobbyist can instantly get the critical

    electrical parameters hassle free using their bluetooth

    enabled java cell-phone, even when they are away from their

    model and whilst their models are still in action.

    e.g. you are 10 - 20 m away from your helicopter, you tach its

    head-speed by live view its rpm right to your cell-phone

    without tachometer ...

    Introduction

    1. Support standard JAVA MIDP 2.0 or below, and Bluetooth access via BTAPI

    2. Depended on cell-phone model (as tested with Motorola SLVR L7, The range is up to 80M)

    rpm window provide liveview head-speed of yourhelicopter, tach your

    head-speed with your cell-phone while you are awayfrom it 10-20 meters ...

    The mercury can save up to 27 hours of information by its

    internal one mega byte memory. User can download their

    logged data to their computer using raclink cable (usb data

    link cable sole separately) and manage the data and

    performance charts with the included raczing pc client

    software.

    the mercury logged and live view data can be use in

    difference ways to enhance your electrical-powered rc

    model experience as follow :

    flight data recorder,

    battery health monitor,

    tach your head-speed for governor mode in one place

    flight-plan tools, and

    system diagnostic and optimization equipment.

    The mercury onboard logger and bluetooth module provides critical

    information in a revolutionary way to give radio control model hobbyists a new way to fine-

    tune the performance of their electrical powered model for things such as :

    maximize flight time.

    optimize gearing and propeller size and shape on power consumption and battery

    currents.

    esc and motor efficiencies through knowledge of current flow through an esc and

    motor.

    improve battery life by monitoring battery health.

    eliminate potential risk of damaging components with peak

    current data.

    Benefits

    The mercury delivery 50 amp3 rated current by n type mosfet with low

    internal resistance, built-in logger measures and records current, voltage, rpm, throttle

    level and temperature over time, then uses these measurements to calculate the maximum

    power (watt) and capacity used (mah). real-time information as to live and peak current, rpm,

    temperature, throttle, live and used voltage, current and maximum power (watt), as well as

    existing and accumulated capacity used (mah) is transmitting using bluetooth technology.

    User can use their cell-phone to read these data in real-time for their pleasure or to fine-

    tune their electrical powered model.

    Read these instruction before use

    Before installing your mercury esc, take a moment to look it over. The input battery side has

    a black and red wire along with a throttle lead. The motor side has three wires with color

    black, white and red. The black and red wires of your mercury esc must connect to your

    battery packs red and back with correct polarity (red wire of esc connect to red wire of

    battery pack and black wire of esc connect to black wire of battery), reversed polarity may

    damage your mercury esc without warranty cover.

    The three wires from your motor connect to the three wire from mercury esc output. The

    order of connection to the motor is not important; you can plug any motor wire to any wire

    of mercury esc, in case of motor runs reverse (not your desire direction) just simply switch

    both outside wires.

    Always start your system in the appropriate sequence

    1. be sure to plug the throttle lead into the throttle channel of your receiver.

    2. turn on your transmitter (some 2.4 g radio need to power up receiver then followed by

    transmitter) and set the throttle stick to mid throttle or higher.

    3. connect the power battery to the mercury esc. The esc will remain disarmed and will not

    operate until zero throttle is detected.

    4. When you are ready to fly, move the throttle stick to its break or lowest position.

    When battery is connected to mercury esc in step 3 above, mercury esc will emit 3 short

    tones immediate followed by the number of tones indicate that it is power up and number of

    lipo cell is counted e.g. when 3 cell lipo is connected, esc will emit 3 short tones followed by

    another 3 short tones, and both red and green leds blink indicate mercury esc is unarmed

    and onboard bluetooth is ready for pairing or connect respectively, the middle yellow led

    stay on indicate data flash is ready to record data.

    The mercury esc will not delivery power to the motor until the throttle stick of your

    transmitter is moved to its break or lowest position to arm the esc, when armed mercury esc

    will emit 6 short tones and red led will be turned off.

    Now yellow led is stayed on, when throttle stick is leave its break or lowest position or

    throttle is applied, yellow led go blink indicate data is being written to onboard data flash.When bluetooth mobile phone is connected, green led will be turned off.

    Programming ESC

    Mercury series esc offer programming via transmitter stick or usb link (sole separately) for

    advanced features such as helicopter modes.

    When entered into programming mode, mercury esc

    will emit red led and beep tones to indicate its

    current setting and option, by moving your

    throttle stick to either full or break position

    for answer yes or no.

    When answer either yes or no, mercury esc will emit beeps and flashes repeatedly

    to indicate the answer is accepted, then move your throttle to middle

    position to proceed for next setting or option.

    e.g. when entered into programming mode, it will single flash / beep and followed by

    another single flash / beep repeatedly to indicate it is in setting 1 option 1 (cutoff voltage -

    auto lipo), move your throttle stick to answer yes or no, if answer is yes, mercury esc will

    emit beeps and flashes to acknowledge your answer is accepted, then move the throttle stickto the middle position to proceed to next setting (double flashes / beeps followed by single

    flash / beep for next setting current limiting - 45a), if answer is no, mercury esc will emit

    beeps and flashes to acknowledge your answer is accepted, then move the throttle stick to

    the middle position to proceed to next option (single flashes / beeps followed by double

    flash / beep for next option cutoff voltage - 4.0v cutoff).

    If you want to program some of the features without go through the rest features, you can

    program it by move your stick to full position and have the acceptance tones then exit by

    disconnect the mercury esc power.

    Enter Programming Mode

    1. connect motor to the mercury esc in order to hear the programming beeps. Make sure

    the mercury esc is unpowered, turn on the transmitter and move its throttle stick to

    full throttle or highest position. For some 2.4g transmitter you may need to power on

    receiver before turn on transmitter.

    2. connect battery to the mercury esc, it will beep its initialization tones (3 short tones)

    and emit single flash on red led repeatedly.

    3. move the transmitters throttle stick back to middle position, the mercury esc will beep

    its acknowledge tone (3 short tones) and emit double flashes on red led repeatedly.

    4. move the transmitters throttle stick back to full or highest position, the mercury esc

    will beep its acknowledge tone (3 short tones) and emit triple flashes on red led

    repeatedly.

    5. move the transmitters throttle stick back to middle position, the esc will beep its ready

    tone (9 short tones) followed by single beep and emit single flash on red led repeatedly.

    Now mercury esc should emit single beep / flash followed by another single beep / flash

    repeatedly indicate you are in setting 1option 1 setting as mentioned before

    Mercury esc provides real time data streaming into any bluetooth equipped java cell-phone.

    Download and copy the software to your cell-phone via either bluetooth or data cable as a

    normal java game and install accordingly. Since installation methods for java applets vary

    from brand to brand, they may display entire different dialog; e.g. nokia phones allow

    copied java program to run directly while sony ericsson phones require you to install

    copied java program to another folder ! The following example is based on a sony ericsson

    k770i model.

    1. download raczing mobile client from raczing website and copy to your cell phone folder.

    2. turn on your cell phones bluetooth.

    3. run (some cell-phones need installation first) the raczing mobile client from where it is

    saved or copied.
