    GEICO ESC beeping

    Today my GEICO arrived from OSE.
    I installed the optional flex cable and Octura x642.
    Then I rebound the receiver with my DX2S and programmed the ESC with program module.

    Battery Type: Lipo
    Cutoff Voltage: High
    Cutoff Tyoe: Idle
    Brake: On
    Timing Low
    Throttle Curve: Logarithm

    Now once I connect two 2S batteries and switch on the ESC, it beeps once and after a few second, it beeps five times.

    Is it normal?

    Thanks in advance,

      YUP! That's a good sign... go run it!! I think the ESC manual tells you what the beeps mean. Something about the number of cells or the timing setting or ?? I can't remember exactly 'cause I never pay attention to that.

              Battery Type: Lipo
              Cutoff Voltage: LOW
              Cutoff Tyoe: Slow Down
              Brake: OFF
              Timing: HIGH
              Throttle Curve: LINEAR


              Please keep in mind... I'm racing. I don't run more than I have to to complete a 6-lap race, plus run-up and cool-down lap, and any penalty laps that I may incur.

                      Thank you for your comment.

                      I read the ESC manual again and found a description for Timing monitor in the Motor Timing Adjustment section.

                      It reads:
                      After the first "beep" wait 5 seconds (keep the throttle in the neutral position).
                      The controller gives 5 sibngle beeps for soft timing or 5 double beeps for hard timing.
                      I also set the throttle curve linear and the brake off.

                      Thanks again,

                              It depend on where your settings are... I think it only beeps more if you set the timing to high or something like that.
