[. . . ] step 4 ­MOUNTiNG ESC trouble-shooting guide Steering Channel Works But Motor Will Not Run · Check motor connections. · Make sure input signal harness is plugged into throttle channel of receiver and the ESC. Check throttle channel operation with a servo. Check wiring color sequence of receiver signal harness. [. . . ] Optional Large Power Capacitors available in Novak kit #5675. 4 TO 6 CELLS ONLY Never use fewer than 4 or more than 6 cells (7. 2 volts DC) in the vehicle's main battery pack. RACING SCHOTTKY MOTOR MODULES [#5636] The GTS has a built-in Schottky diode and should not require an external one for most usage--using an external Schottky will optimize the ESC's braking and motor performance (recommendeed for racing). Racing Schottky Motor Module is available in Novak kit #5636. product warranty The GTS speed control is guaranteed to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of 120 days from the original date of purchase (verified by dated, itemized sales receipt). Warranty does not cover incorrect installation, components worn by use, damage to case, damage from using fewer than 4 or more than 6 cells (1. 2 volts DC/cell) input voltage, cross-connection of battery/motor, overheating solder tabs, reverse voltage application, damage from incorrect installation of FET servo or receiver battery pack, not installing three 0. 1µF (50V) capacitors on motor, incorrect installation of or not using a Power Capacitor on the ESC or from using a damaged Power Capacitor, using a non-Novak Power Capacitor, splices to input harness, damage from excessive force when using the One-Touch/SET button or from disassembling case, tampering with internal electronics, allowing water, moisture, or any other foreign material to enter ESC or get onto the PC board, incorrect installation/wiring of input plug plastic, allowing exposed wiring or solder tabs to short-circuit, or any damage caused by a crash, flooding, or act of God. In no case shall our liability exceed the product's original cost. We reserve the right to modify warranty provisions without notice. has no control over the connection & use of the speed control or other related electronics, no liability may be assumed nor will be accepted for any damage resulting from the use of this product. Every Novak speed control is thoroughly tested & cycled before leaving our facility and is, therefore, considered operational. By the act of connecting/operating speed control, user accepts all resulting liability. · All Rights Reserved · No part of these operating instructions may be reproduced without the written permission of Novak Electronics, Inc. · GTS Pro Sport ESC, Polar Drive Technology, Radio Priority Circuitry, & OneTouch Set-Up are all trademarks of Novak Electronics, Inc. · All Novak speed controls are designed & manufactured in the U. S. A. NO REVERSE VOLTAGE! Reverse battery polarity can damage speed control­­Disconnect the battery immediately if a reverse connection occurs. POWER CAPACITOR REQUIRED An external power capacitor is supplied & installed, and MUST be used with your GTS. Failure to use Novak Power Capacitor will result in higher ESC operating temperatures & will void warranty! MOTOR CAPACITORS [#5620] Additional motor capacitors are available in Novak kit #5620. 4. CONTINUE HOLDING SET BUTTON UNTIL RED LED COMES ON 5. RELEASE GTS'S SET BUTTON AS SOON AS LED TURNS RED 6. PULL TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO FULL-ON POSITION Hold it there until the green status LED turns solid green. Note: Motor will not run during programming even if connected. 14G SUPERFLEX SILICONE POWER WIRE [#5500 & 5505] Replacement GTS battery & motor wire is available in Novak kits #5500 (36"red & 36"black) & #5505 (36"red & 36"blue). TRANSMITTER ON FIRST Always turn on the power of the transmitter first so that you will have control of the vehicle when you turn it on. INPUT SIGNAL HARNESS [#5315 & #5320] The user-replaceable input signal harness is available in both short and long lengths to fit different applications. 4. 5" harness in Novak kit #5315, and 9. 0" harness in kit #5315. 7. PUSH TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO FULL-BRAKES Hold it there until the green status LED blinks green. INSULATE WIRES Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to prevent short circuits, which can damage ESC. 8. RETURN TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO NEUTRAL Red status LED will turn solid red, indicating that throttle is at neutral, and proper programming has been completed--you're done. NOTE: If transmitter setting are changed, programming must be repeated. If you experience any problems, turn off ESC and repeat programming. · POSITIVE (+) motor tab & GROUND tab*. · NEGATIVE (­) motor tab & GROUND tab*. *If motor has no ground tab (below), solder the capacitors to motor can. To get the best possible performance from your GTS, it is essential that you make very good connections between the battery, speed control, & motor. A common cause of perfomance problems & ESC failures is poor solder joints--If you have any doubts about your soldering skills, we suggest seeking assistance at your local hobby shop or track. using the "y" method : (Figure 6) select a mounting location: FIGURE 4 Negative (­) motor tab 0. 1µF Capacitors Schottky diode Positive (+) motor tab Ground / motor can · Keep the ESC and its power wires away from other electronics in the vehicle, especially the receiver & antenna. [. . . ] PREP & SOLDER SPEED CONTROL'S RED WIRE Depending on your vehicle's configuration, there are two main ways that you can make the red wire connections--making a "Y" (or "T") out of the red wire to go to the motor & battery, or a single wire set-up where the red wire goes to the battery and then continues on to the motor (or vice versa). using the single wire method : Racing Schottky Motor Modules are available in Novak kit #5636. a. Position the GTS where it will be mounted, strip a 1/4-3/8" section of insulation from the mid-section of its red wire where you will solder it to positive (+) of the motor or battery (component that is in the middle). Tin the exposed section of wire with solder. Solder the exposed section of wire to positive (+) tab of the motor or the positive (+) end of the battery pack [see Figure 5: Set-Up Photo]. [. . . ]
