NOVAK ELECTRONICS · PROFILE SOFTWARE 17 DOWNLOADING PARAMETERS TO CYCLONE The following steps will allow you to download the Profile that is currently displayed in the Edit Current Parameters mode of the software to the Cyclone. The downloaded Profile will always be the active Profile in the Cyclone even if this is the first time Profile 4 has been activated. You will now have the original three Profiles that came with the Cyclone, plus the custom Profile (Profile 4) to choose from through the One-Touch button. Refer to your Cyclone Owner's Manual for instructions on selecting Profiles. 1. With DataLink connected as previously instructed, turn on the DataLink's power switch. Turn on your transmitter, then turn on your speed control. Note: Use a DSC cord to disable the transmitter's RF section to avoid radio interference. If you do not have your transmitter or a DSC cord, disconnect servo from receiver and lift vehicle's wheels into the air until D·LINK is connected. Note: Motor will be disabled as soon as D·LINK harness is connected. 3. Connect the DataLink's D·LINK harness to your Cyclone's DataLink socket located on the top of the speed control. The D·LINK connector will only clear the transistors of the speed control if the "D·LINK" lettering is right side up. If you have external heat sinks installed, be sure that they do not extend beyond the front edge of the transistors, as they may have to be repositioned to gain access to the connector. From the main menu, use the up { } or down { } arrow keys to highlight "Download Parameters To Cyclone", then press {Enter} or {Return} to select. After the downloading process is complete, the software will return you to the main menu.
