1. General
Thank you for choosing a KONTRONIK KONDOR motor. KONDOR motors are brushless motors, which
are specially designed for use in high performance models.
KONDOR motors require an ESC for sensorless, brushless motors.
2. Safety Notes
KONDOR motors are outrunner motors and have an external turning housing. Therefore, you must not
touch it during operation. Please check all moveable parts for ease of movement before start.
Check the screws of the drive regularly. Despite screw locking the screws may loosen themselves e.g. by
vibrations of an unbalanced propeller.
As soon as a ESC and a battery are connected to the drive, it is possible that the drive starts up (e.g. by
operating error or by electrical defect).
An electric drive (especially with propeller or rotor) can cause considerable injuries. Also releasing parts
can cause considerable injuries.
The operation of this motor is only allowed if damage to persons or material is impossible.
Too much heat may destroy the motor. Please take care for enough cooling.
Never keep on using a damaged motor. Destroying of the motor or even damage to persons may occur
later.
Do not open or disassemble the product. Sensitive parts inside may be damaged. Opening the product
terminates all warranty claims.
Usage of these motors with ESCs for brushed motors or by direct connection to a power supply is not
admissible. Such a use can damage the motor.
3. Connection to KONTRONIK ESCs
The KONTRONIK ESCs are fitting perfectly in performance and power to a KONDOR motor.
Connect the motor cable with the yellow or red / green / blue cables of the ESC. The motor rotation will
be reversed by changing 2 of the 3 motor cables, by mode programming or program interface
(compatible ESC provided).
The motor cables are the motor windings carried out. You must not shorten these cables. The
winding will be irreparably damaged. Cutting motor cables will terminate all warranty claims.
4. Mounting
While fixing the motor on the front flange, the permissible screwing depth must be considered.
Otherwise the windings could be damaged. The maximum screw-in depth for all KONDOR motors is
6mm. Pay special attentions not to squeeze cables. For connecting motor and ESC we recommend
high quality gold connectors (e.g. Order No. 9050). By using the enclosed mounting set, the motor can
easily be converted for back-mount. For this, proceed like following: mount the adjusting ring on the
motor shaft additionally, mount the mounting cross and the propeller holder by using the enclosed
screws. We recommend to use screw lock for mounting the cross and the propeller holder.
5. Maintenance
Brushless motors need no maintenance. Disassembling is not recommended and may damage the
motor. It is sufficient to keep the motor clean from dirt, dust and water. If necessary to exchange ball
bearings, please send the motor to us for service.
