User manual NOVAK DUSTER ESC

[. . . ] To turn the vehicle OFF, turn the receiver pack's switch OFF. Plug the external 5 cell (1. 2 VDC/Cell) receiver battery pack into the battery slot of the receiver. Unplug the ESC's red wire from the input harness going to the receiver. Insulate the red wire to keep it from shorting. [. . . ] Always disconnect batteries from ESC to avoid short circuits and possible fire hazard. If using LiPo or LiFe battery packs, use 1 or 2-cell (1-2S) batteries for the vehicle's main battery & be sure the Voltage Cut-Off programming option is turned ON (refer to Track Guide). If using NiCd or NiMH batteries, NEVER use more than 6 cells (1. 2VDC/cell) in the vehicle's main battery pack, and disable Voltage Cut-Off Circuitry (refer to Track Guide). Reverse battery polarity can damage ESC & void warranty. Disconnect battery immediately if a reverse connection occurs. An external Power Trans-Cap module is installed on ESC & MUST be used at all times. Failure to use a Novak Trans-Cap module with proper cell rating (1S or 2S, depending on ESC) will result in higher ESC temperatures & possible thermal shut-down or damage. Always turn on the power of the transmitter first so that you will have control of the vehicle when you turn on the electronics. Using batteries that cannot supply the amount of current required by this brushless system will result in possible battery pack, ESC, and/or motor damage, and will void the warranty. It is recommended to use cells with a 25C or higher rating. With the higher performance of brushless systems, undesirable radio system noise may occur when used with lower quality radio systems. Novak solder contains 3% Silver for high-conductivity and is available in three sizes. 6g in Novak kit #5831, 15g in Novak kit #5832, and 100g in Novak kit #5833. DO NOT BUNDLE POWER & SIGNAL WIRES TOGETHER RF noise in the power wires can adversely effect radio system performance. Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to prevent short circuits, which can damage the ESC. Exposure to CA glue or its fumes can cause damage to internal components of the ESC and result in premature failure.

P4 P1 step 1­connect input harness The Kinetic has a userreplaceable input harness with a 2mm mini plug on the ESC end of it and the industrystandard JST connector on the receiver end of it. The Kinetic works with all major radio brand's new receivers [Refer to Figure 1 to see how to connect the included user-replaceable input harness]. However, some very old receivers must have the wiring sequence in the plastic 3-pin JST FIGURE 1 connector housing changed Input harness plugged into Ch. This is important, as the receiver & servo electronics may be damaged if the sequence is incorrect. For instructions on changing the wiring sequence for older receivers, visit the Novak Web site (www. teamnovak. com). Servo plugged into steering ch.

Note: Make sure no wire strands have strayed to an adjacent solder tab, this will result in short-circuiting & severe ESC damage, which will void the warranty. B Battery pack, servo, receiver, motor plugs, and external receiver pack (for Kinetic 1S Set-Up Photo) are not included; items are available separately.

CONNECT MOTOR SENSOR HARNESS TO ESC FM Receiver User-replaceable input signal harness (Ch. 2) Power output pins Status LEDs ESC ON/OFF Switch Insert the 6-pin connector on the end of the motor's sensor wires into ESC's sensor harness socket­the connector is keyed and will only insert in one direction. To connect to the ESC, Novak suggests its Brushless Shielded Sensor Harnesses, which are available in three lengths: 4"/100mm (Novak #5351), 6"/150mm (Novak #5352) & 9"/230mm (Novak #5353). bRUSHLESS mOtOr precautions The factory-installed Power Trans-Cap Module MUST be used with brushless motors.
