Plug an external 5 cell (1. 2VDC/cell) receiver battery pack into the battery slot of the receiver. Leave the HV-Maxx's ON/OFF switch in the OFF position, and use receiver battery pack's ON/OFF switch to turn the system power on and off­­Do not use the ESC's switch. 12VDC BATTERY NOTE: An external receiver battery pack should be used when using the HV-Maxx with a single 12 volt battery, like a lead acid or gel cell. will provide limited output due to the high voltage directed through the single battery input, resulting in degraded servo and receiver performance. For proper ESC operation, adjust transmitter as follows: A.

The number of times the LEDs flash indicates the Throttle Program selection (1 of 3). POWER CAPACITOR REQUIRED 5. QUICK PRESS (& release) SET BUTTON TO CHANGE SELECTION Each press will change to the next consecutive Throttle Program. (After Program 3, the sequence begins again at Program 1) Note: there is a time constraint during this selection process. If SET button is not pressed for about 3 seconds, ESC will exit to neutral.

ESC STORES SELECTION & EXITS TO NEUTRAL When SET button is not pressed for about 3 seconds, the selected Program is stored into memory & the red LED will come on solid. The speed control is at neutral & ready to go. NOTE: Whenever the One-Touch set-up is performed, the HV-Maxx ESC will automatically revert to the factory default setting of Throttle Program #1.

INSTALL MOTOR IN VEHICLE For most applications, the HV-Maxx ESC & brushless motor can be installed in the vehicle without any modification to the motor wiring. · Determine the best routing for the motor's sensor harness (6 small Teflon wires). [in Traxxas E-Maxx: Both the sensor harness & the ESC's input signal harness can be routed through the gap located beneath the pinion/spur gear cover on the left side of the vehicle--between the transmission case & the battery box wall]. CONNECTION The HV-Maxx ESC has the industry-standard receiver input connector on a user-replaceable input harness & works with all major radio brand's new receivers. However, some very old receivers must have the wiring sequence in the plastic 3-pin connector housing changed. This is important, because receiver & servo electronics may be damaged if the sequence is incorrect. 1. MOTOR CAPACITORS NOT NEEDED Novak brushless motors have built-in motor capacitors and do not require external ones on the motor (see separate Motor Sheet for more info). 2. DO NOT USE SCHOTTKY DIODES Schottky diodes must NOT be used with reversible speed controls (including brushless). Using a Schottky diode will damage the speed control and void the product's warranty. changing wiring sequence @ receiver end JR · Hitec · Futaba · New KO · Airtronics Z JR, Hitec, Futaba, new KO, & Airtronics Z receivers do not need input harness re-wiring. Airtronics Z receivers have blue plastic cases & new KO cases have tabs on the input harness openings as in Figure 1. · Plug the connector on one end of the input harness into the receiver with the BLACK wire toward the outside edge of receiver case. · Plug the other end of the input harness into 3-pin header inside rectangular opening on top of the HV-Maxx ESC's case with the WHITE wire toward the `S' (signal) marking on the ESC's label. The HV-Maxx is very powerful, and capable of very efficient delivery of battery power to its brushless motor. [. . . ] (#1) To use the HV-Maxx with a single 6-14 cell (1. 2VDC/cell) pack or a 12VDC battery, the pack/battery must be connected to the BAT. 2 input & the BAT. 1 input must be shorted together (see Fig. 7 below/left). Cut the black wire coming from the BAT. 1 (­) solder tab (battery wire closest to the front of ESC) about 2-3" above the solder tab. Strip a 1/8-1/4" of insulation off the end of the BAT. 1 (­) black wire. CAUTION: When making battery wire solder connections at the HV-Maxx's Direct-Solder Wiring Tabs, it is important to not overheat & damage PCB (printed ciruit board) with the soldering iron by applying prolonged or excessive heating (PCB damage voids warranty).
