User manual NOVAK REACTOR REVERSIBLE

[. . . ] · ALWAYS USE HEAT SINKS Three heat sinks are included with the Reactor and must be used for proper cooling and performance. Replacement Reactor heat sinks are available in Novak kit #5406. Reverse battery polarity can damage speed control­­Disconnect battery immediately. · NO SCHOTTKY DIODES External Schottky diodes must NOT be used with reversible speed controls. [. . . ] · ESC One-Touch button not held long enough­­Press and hold One-Touch button during programming until status LED turns solid red. ESC Will Not Go In Reverse · Reverse circuitry disable­­Refer to Step 6 to enable. 3. [Controls the linearity of the throttle channel] 4. Set THROTTLE CHANNEL TRIM to middle setting. [Adjusts the neutral position of speed control] [Increase or decrease after ESC adjustment to adjust coast brakes­­to give braking in neutral trigger position] Steering Channel Works But Motor Will Not Run · Speed control has thermally shut down­­Allow ESC to cool down­­Use milder motor or smaller pinion gear. · Make sure ESC is plugged into the throttle channel of receiver. Check throttle channel operation with a servo. Check the wiring color sequence & metal socket insertion of receiver harness. · Possible internal damage­­Refer to Service Procedures. 2. DO NOT USE GLUE Do not use glue or adhesives to attach the heat sinks to the transistors. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT HEAT SINKS Each bank of heat sinks should never contact each other or other conductive objects (metal, etc. ), or they will short circuit and damage the ESC. STEP 2 5. Set THROTTLE CHANNEL REVERSING SWITCH to either position. [Do not change switch position after programming] 6. Set ELECTRONIC TRIGGER THROW ADJUSTMENT to 50% throttle and 50% brake/reverse throw (or 5:5). [Adjusts pistol-grip transmitter's throttle trigger throw on electronic/digital transmitters] 7. Set MECHANICAL TRIGGER THROW ADJUSTMENT to 1/2 throttle and 1/2 brake/reverse throw. [Adjusts pistol-grip transmitter's throttle trigger throw on mechanical/analog transmitters] Receiver Glitches/Throttle Stutters On Acceleration · Motor capacitors broken or missing­­Refer to Step 3. · Receiver or antenna too close to speed control, power wires, battery, or motor­­Refer to Step 2. · Bad connections­­Check wiring and connectors. · Motor brushes worn­­Replace brushes. · Excessive current to motor­­Use a milder motor or a smaller pinion gear. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS 1. DETERMINE BEST ESC MOUNTING LOCATION The ESC should be positioned away from receiver and antenna as shown in the Set-Up photo on the front. Choose a mounting position that will keep the power wires clear from obstructing movement of the suspension or the motor pod. [. . . ] IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SCHOTTKY DIODES NO SCHOTTKY DIODES Schottky diodes must NOT be used with reversible speed controls. Using a Schottky diode will damage the speed control and will void the warranty. CONNECT SPEED CONTROL TO THE RECEIVER After the proper input plug plastic has been installed to match the receiver (See front page), plug the speed control into the THROTTLE CHANNEL of the receiver. CONNECT SPEED CONTROL TO THE BATTERY PACK Plug the JST/Tamiya connector from the speed control into a 6 or 7 cell battery pack (1. 2 volts DC/cell). [. . . ]
