User manual NOVAK ATOM AND CYCLONE ESC

[. . . ] PRECAUTIONS WATER & ELECTRONICS DON'T MIX!Do not operate model in or around water. Never allow water, moisture, or other foreign materials to get inside the ESC (Electronic Speed Control). 4-10 CELLS (CYCLONE); 4-6 CELLS (ATOM) ONLY Never use more than 10 sub-C cells (1. 2 volts DC/cell) in the Cyclone or 6 sub-C cells in the Atom's main battery pack. [. . . ] With the transmitter throttle in the neutral position, press and hold the ESC's 1-TOUCH button (One-Touch Tool included) until the status LED turns solid red (approximately three seconds). NOTE: If the 1-TOUCH button is pressed for fewer than 3 seconds, the LED will blink red six times and you will need to start this process over. 4. RELEASE THE SPEED CONTROL'S 1-TOUCH BUTTON 5. PULL THE TRANSMITTER'S TRIGGER TO THE FULL THROTTLE POSITION (Refer to Figure 12) This must be done as soon as you release the 1-TOUCH button to ensure that the speed control learns the Full Throttle position. Moving the trigger gradually and/or hesitating after releasing the 1-TOUCH button may cause less than the Full Throttle position to be learned. Hold the trigger there until the status LED turns solid green. NOTE: The motor will not run during set-up even if it is connected to the speed control. 6. PUSH THE TRANSMITTER'S TRIGGER TO THE FULL BRAKE POSITION (Refer to Figure 13) Continued CYCLONE & ATOM INSTRUCTION MANUAL 17 STEP 5: Speed Control Set-Up (continued) This must be done as soon as the LED turns solid green to ensure that the speed control learns the Full Brake position. Moving the trigger gradually and/or hesitating after the status LED turns solid green may cause less than the Full Brake position to be learned. Hold the trigger there until the status LED blinks green. RETURN TRANSMITTER'S THROTTLE TO NEUTRAL POSITION The status LED will turn solid red, indicating that proper programming has been completed. Your speed control is now set and ready to race! NOTE: If transmitter settings are changed, it will be necessary to complete the above sequence again. If problems are experienced during set-up, turn off the speed control and repeat all steps in this section. FIGURE 12 Full Throttle position. FIGURE 13 Full Brake position. 18 CYCLONE & ATOM INSTRUCTION MANUAL STEP 6: THROTTLE PROFILE SELECTION Since drivers have their own racing preferences, the Cyclone & Atom are factory-programmed with three user-selectable profiles to choose from. This chart describes them. De % PROFILE Measurement Units 1 Stock 2 Drag Brake 3 Modified 6 6 4 NOTE: These three profiles are not exclusive to the listed applications. Experiment with all three profiles and see which works best for your particular use. Before beginning this step, the ESC should be connected to the receiver and to a charged battery pack (4-10 cells for the Cyclone; 4-6 cells for the Atom). PRESS AND HOLD THE ESC'S 1-TOUCH BUTTON until the status LED turns solid green (approximately six seconds). A few seconds later it will turn solid green. RELEASE THE 1-TOUCH BUTTON and approximately one second later, the status LED will blink red. The number of times the LED blinks indicates the profile number selected. For example if the status LED blinks red twice after the button is released, then profile 2 is selected, and so forth.

After the status LED is finished blinking, press and release the 1-TOUCH button. This will select the next profile and the LED will blink the appropriate number of times to indicate which profile is selected. NOTE: After profile 3 has been selected, the selection process rolls over to profile 1.
