[. . . ] Check wiring color sequence of receiver signal harness (Refer to STEP 1 in Basic Set-Up Guide). #55-1846P-1 Rev. 1 M2 dig field guide 11-2010 one-touch programming With ESC connected to (at least) a receiver and a charged battery pack, and the transmitter's Aux/3rd channel (3Ch required for Dig) set to its middle position: 1. TURN ON THE TRANSMITTER & ESC'S POWER 2. When the Transmitter's AUX/3rd channel switch or dial is in the Receiver Glitches/Throttle Stutters During Acceleration · Receiver or antenna too close to ESC, power wires, battery, or motor. [. . . ] RETURN TRANSMITTER'S AUX/3rd CHANNEL TO NEUTRAL Speed Control Runs Excessively Hot · Gear ratio too low­­Increase ratio/Reduce pinion (refer to `PROPER GEAR SELECTION'). · Motor is damaged­­Try a different motor. The blue, yellow, & red status LEDs will turn on solid, indicating that speed control is at neutral and that proper programming has been completed. NOTE: If transmitter settings are changed, One-Touch Programming must be repeated. If you experience any problems, turn off ESC and repeat One-Touch. NOTE: Whenever the One-Touch Programming set-up is performed, the speed control will automatically revert back to the factory-default settings. ESC Is Melted Or Burnt/ESC Runs With Switch Off · Internal damage­­Refer to Service Procedures. BEC and/or Receiver Cuts Out Under High Steering Load · Using very high-power servos­­Use an external BEC to power servos & receiver. · Steering end points set too high­­Reduce steering travel to prevent servo from pulling excessive current when steering is at full lock position. · Operating on 3S LiPo/LiFe­­Use an external BEC to power servos & receiver. transmitter adjustments Transmitter adjustments may not be needed to program and operate the M2 Dig 3S ESC. However, if you have any problems with ONETOUCH PROGRAMMING, adjust the transmitter as follows and repeat the ONE-TOUCH PROGRAMMING step. THROTTLE CHANNEL ADJUSTMENTS A. [the amount of throw at full throttle] B. Set LOW ATV, EPA, or ATL to maximum setting. Set THROTTLE CHANNEL EXPONENTIAL to zero setting. Remove and charge/replace battery pack. NOT ALL TRANSMITTERS HAVE THESE ADJUSTMENTS Note: Whenever the speed control's One-Touch Programming is performed, the Voltage Cut-Off circuitry will revert back to the default setting, which is the LiPo battery setting. DO NOT USE LiPo/LiFe BATTERIES WITH VOLTAGE CUT-OFF TURNED OFF Check Novak's web site for additional information. temperature monitoring The M2 Dig 3S ESC has a built-in diagnostic temperature monitoring feature that lets you quickly and easily check the speed control's operating temperature at any time, without the need for a temperature gun. While connected to a battery and powered ON, simply tap the ESC's SET button and one of the on-board LED lights will flash 4 times to indicate the operating temperature of the speed control. BLUE flashing LED = normal operating temperature. YELLOW flashing LED = medium operating temperature. GREEN flashing LED = hot operating temperature. RED flashing LED = hottest operating temperature. You are now pushing the ESC extremely hard and should be very careful to avoid overheating and possible thermal shut-down. proper gear selection Motor & ESC operating temperature is the proper way to set the vehicle gearing The motor and Speed Control should not exceed 160°F at any time during a run!Change the gearing to avoid overheating. With the extreme loads that can be encountered during Crawling, high current draw can produce excessive speed control & motor heating. Always check the operating temperature of the ESC after initial vehicle set-up and again after making any gearing adjustments or drive train modifications to avoid overheating. single output mode The Single Output Mode is for use with either single or dual motor applications when using a two-channel transmitter­­the Dig feature is not available in this Mode. FOR SINGLE MOTOR APPLICATIONS Either set of motor wires may be used, or both sets may be used for increased performance. When using both sets of motor wires, both yellow wires connect to the positive terminal of the motor and both blue wires will connect to the negative terminal. Refer to Figure 4 on Basic Set-Up Guide for wiring diagram.

With ESC on & connected to a charged battery (transmitter ON or OFF): 1. IF TRANSMITTER IS OFF, DISCONNECT ESC FROM RECEIVER 2. PRESS & HOLD THE ESC'S ONE-TOUCH SET BUTTON To avoid possible radio interference, remove the ESC's input signal harness from the receiver--Green LED will stay on to indicate no signal from receiver.
