User manual NOVAK ROOSTER 12T

[. . . ] Li-PO cUt-off ciRCUitRY Your Rooster 12T reversible speed control is Novak's first ESC with built-in Smart-Stop Li-Po Cut-Off Circuitry for safe, worry-free operation when using Lithium Polymer batteries. When the speed control is in Profile 3 or Profile 4, the Smart-Stop Li-Po Cut-Off circuitry is active. The Smart-Stop Cut-Off circuitry constantly monitors the Li-Po battery's pack voltage. When the pack's voltage begins to get close to the critical safety voltage, the Cut-Off circuitry will start interrupting, or `blipping' the throttle output. [. . . ] User-replaceable input signal harness is available in both short and long lengths. 4. 5" harness in Novak kit#5315, and 9. 0" harness in Novak kit #5320. Additional motor capacitors are available in Novak kit #5620. If using Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries, NEVER use fewer than 4 or more than 7 cells (4. 8-8. 4VDC, 1. 2VDC/cell) in the vehicle's main battery pack. If using Li-Po batteries, ONLY use a 2-cell pack for the vehicle's main battery & be sure to use Profile 3 or 4 with the built-in Li-Po cut-off. Reverse battery polarity can damage ESC & void warranty. Disconnect battery immediately if a reverse connection occurs. An external power capacitor is installed and MUST be used with your ESC. 4 TO 7 CELLS OR 2-CELL Li-Po ONLY AUXILIARY COOLING FANS [Novak kits #5647 & #5648] NO REVERSE VOLTAGE! The Rooster 12T comes with power output pins ready to add a cooling fan that will switch on & off with the ESC's power switch. Novak 25x25x10mm fan with long leads for cooling motor is available in Novak kit #5647. Novak 30x30x6mm clear fan that fits perfect over the ESC's heat sink and has a connector already on its leads is available in Novak kit #5648. POWER CAPACITOR REQUIRED Failure to use Power Capacitor will result in higher ESC operating temperatures & possible thermal shut-down. Always turn on the power of the transmitter first so that you will have control of the vehicle when you turn it on. Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to prevent short circuits, which can damage ESC. Exposing the speed control's case to any type of solvents will damage the plastic. Exposure to CA glue or its fumes can cause damage to internal components of the speed control and result in premature failure. TRANSMITTER ON FIRST INSULATE WIRES NO SOLVENTS NO CA GLUE ADDITIONAL NOTES: · Dealers/distributors are not authorized to replace Novak products thought to be defective. · If a hobby dealer returns your product for service, submit a completed PRODUCT SERVICE FORM to the dealer and make sure it is included with the product. does not make any internal electronic components (transistors, resistors, etc. ) available for sale.

However, some very old receivers must have the wiring sequence in the plastic 3-pin connector housing changed. This is important, because receiver & servo electronics may be damaged if the sequence is incorrect. Electric motors generate RF noise that causes interference. The included 0. 1µF (50V) non-polarized, ceramic capacitors must be used on all motors to reduce motor noise & prevent ESC damage. Note: Some motors come with capacitors built-in. If your motor only has two capacitors, you need to install a capacitor between the positive & negative motor tabs­­If you experience radio interference when using only built-in capacitors, install external ones. With ESC connected to (at least) a receiver & a charged battery pack: 1. PRESS & HOLD ESC'S ONE-TOUCH/SET BUTTON 3. TURN ON THE SPEED CONTROL'S POWER 4. CONTINUE HOLDING SET BUTTON UNTIL RED LED COMES ON 5. [. . . ] Set THROTTLE CHANNEL TRIM to middle setting. [adjusts neutral position/increases or decreases coast brakes] With a small standard screwdriver, gently lift plastic prong until wire and metal socket easily slide out of plastic housing. F. Set ELECTRONIC TRIGGER THROW ADJUSTMENT to 50% throttle and 50% brake throw--best for reversible ESCs.

Set MECHANICAL TRIGGER THROW ADJUSTMENT to position with 1/2 throttle and 1/2 brake throw. (­) throttle profile selection The ESC is equipped with 4 user-selectable Throttle Profiles to choose from: PROFILE #1: PROFILE #2: PROFILE #3: PROFILE #4: Forward, brakes, & reverse. Ni-Cd & Ni-MH cells ONLY Forward & brakes only. [. . . ]
