User manual NOVAK SUPER SPORT

[. . . ] INSTRUCTION MANUAL STEP 1 SUPER SPORT SET-UP CHANGING ESC'S INPUT HARNESS STEP 2 SUPER SPORT SET-UP MOUNTING SPEED CONTROL Part #3005 The Super Sport ESC comes with the industry standard connector on a user-replaceable input harness. This connector works with all major radio brands. However, with some older style receivers, the wiring sequence in the plastic connector must be changed. This is an important step, because the receiver electronics may be damaged if the sequence is incorrect. 1. [. . . ] RETURN TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO NEUTRAL Amber, green, & red status LEDs will turn on solid, indicating that proper programming has been completed. ESC returns to neutral and red status LED will turn on solid. NOTE: If transmitter settings are changed, programming must be repeated. 4. 5" harness in Novak kit #5315, and 9. 0" harness in kit #5320. **Unlimited RPM is based upon motor's rating. 5800Kv motor produces 41760 RPM @ 7. 2 volts DC. *Unlimited acceleration refers to acceleration only being limited by the quality of the batteries used. Fixed acceleration is accomplished by only allowing a factory programmed acceleration rate--all Super Sport ESCs are programmed with the same fixed acceleration rate for programs 5 & 6. 5. PULL TRANSMITTER THROTTLE IN DRIVE DIRECTION Slowly pull throttle toward full drive­­blue LED blinks until 500µS of throw is reached when it turns solid. (refer to Step 4/A to adjust throw) 6. PUSH TRANSMITTER THROTTLE IN BRAKE DIRECTION Slowly push throttle toward full brake­­amber LED blinks until 200µS of throw is reached when it turns solid. (refer to Step 4/B to adjust throw) Note: Without transmitter adjustments mentioned in Step 4/A & 4/B, ESC will still program & operate normally with a minimum of ±90µS of throw. MOTOR BALL BEARING SET After extensive use, the ball bearings in the end bells of your brushless motor may need to be replaced. Two replacement motor bearings are available in Novak kit #5900. Selecting Throttle Program--TRANSMITTER ON With transmitter ON & ESC connected to receiver and battery: 1. TURN ON THE SPEED CONTROL'S POWER 2. PRESS & HOLD SPEED CONTROL'S SET BUTTON With transmitter throttle at neutral, press and hold SET button on Super Sport until all 4 LEDs turn on. RELEASE SPEED CONTROL'S SET BUTTON All status LEDs will flash together. The number of times the LEDs flash indicates the Throttle Program selected. PRESS & RELEASE SET BUTTON TO SELECT PROGRAM Each press will change to the next consecutive Program number. (After Program #6, the sequence begins again at Program #1) 5. WAIT FOR SPEED CONTROL TO EXIT PROGRAMMING When SET button is not pressed for about 3 seconds, the ESC loads the selected Program into memory and exits programming--red status LED will turn solid red indicating that the speed control is at neutral and ready to go. GEAR SELECTION (Important) As a general rule, you can start with the same gear ratio that you previously had with a "stock" brush-type motor in your vehicle. The difference is that you now have broad power band, and can base your gear selection on application instead of being limited to the narrow RPM range that your brush-type motor produced its maximum torque. Higher final drive ratios will give longer run time at the expense of top speed, while ratios below 6. 5:1 will cause excessive heating of the ESC, and may result in overheating and thermal shut-down. TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE This section describes possible ESC problems, causes, and solutions. Steering Channel Works But Motor Will Not Run · Make sure motor sensor harness is plugged into ESC­­check for damaged wires. Green & red status LEDs will be blinking fast. · Make sure input signal harness is plugged into throttle channel of receiver & ESC. [. . . ] · Replace power wires by stripping 1/8-1/4" of insulation from the end of the new wire. Tightly twist strands of wire, and insert into proper solder tab's hole (tabs are identified by lettering that is engraved in the ESC case and on the end cap of the motor--see photos below). PRODUCT WARRANTY The Super Sport brushless motor system 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 from using fewer than 4 or more than 7 cells (1. 2 volts DC/cell) input voltage, cross-connection of battery/motor power wires, overheating solder tabs, reverse voltage application, damage resulting from thermal overload, damage from incorrect installation of FET servo or receiver battery pack, not installing or incorrect installation of a Novak power capacitor on the ESC, 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. [. . . ]
