Beep Pattern Issue Cause Solution
Beep… (every 1s) Motor not starting Throttle signal lost Adjust throttle bottom; check transmitter/receiver connection
Fast beep-beep-beep Motor not starting Throttle not at zero Move throttle to minimum
Beep-beep (every 1s) Low voltage Battery < 16V Use fully charged battery
Beep-beep (every 1s) High voltage Battery > 64V Use a correct voltage battery
Beep-beep-beep (every 1s) ESC overheating Temperature > 125°C Allow ESC to cool
Beep-beep-beep-beep (every 1s) Abnormal startup or overload Incorrect propeller or overload Use the correct propeller / reduce load

The DRV 120A ESC is designed to deliver high-efficiency propulsion, fast acceleration, and exceptional stability for UAV systems operating under heavy electrical loads. Its synchronous freewheeling technology enhances throttle linearity, reduces switching losses, and boosts energy efficiency across the full RPM range.

Constructed with IP67-rated environmental protection, the ESC withstands exposure to water, dust, and harsh field conditions. This makes it suitable for industrial drones, agricultural aircraft, high-payload multirotors, and long-range VTOL operations.

Integrated Protection Functions

    • Short Circuit Protection: Automatically stops output when a short circuit occurs. Reconnect power after resolving the issue.
    • Stall Protection: Output is disabled when a motor stall is detected. Reset the throttle to resume normal operation.
    • Voltage Protection: Prevents startup below 16V or above 64V. Disabled during flight to avoid midair shutdowns.
  • Temperature Protection
  • Power limited to 50% at 125°C
  • Full shutdown at 140°C
  • Restart enabled only when temperature drops below 80°C and throttle is reset
  • Throttle Loss Protection: Cuts power if the throttle signal is lost for more than 2 seconds; restores automatically when the signal returns.
  • Startup Protection: If the motor does not start within 10 seconds, output is disabled until throttle is fully reset.

Throttle Calibration Procedure

  1. Set the throttle to maximum and power on the ESC.
  2. After two short beeps, lower throttle to minimum.
  3. The “DO MI SO” tone confirms successful calibration.

FAQs

It supports 5S to 14S LiPo batteries.

Yes, the DRV 120A supports CAN and PWM inputs.

Possible reasons include voltage out of range, throttle not at zero, or signal loss.

Output is reduced at 125°C and fully shuts down at 140°C until cooled.

Yes, it includes a 5V / 200mA BEC for external electronics.

This may be triggered by overload, incorrect propeller selection, or stall protection.
