User manual NOVAK KINETIC SET-UP GUIDE

[. . . ] STEP 6-one-touch programming With the ESC connected to (at least) a charged battery pack, the receiver, and the brushless motor's sensor harness: OPTIONAL RECEIVER PACK USAGE If you are planning to use an external receiver battery pack with the Kinetic 2S ESC to power the electronics you need to do the following: 1. Plug the external 5 cell (1. 2VDC/cell) receiver battery pack into the battery slot of the receiver. Then, turn the ESC's switch ON, then OFF to allow the ESC to be powered by an external source. Plug the external 5 cell (1. 2 VDC/Cell) receiver battery pack into the battery slot of the receiver. [. . . ] The included receiver harness (Novak #5309) has a 2mm mini plug on the end that is plugged into the ESC and a standard JST plug on the receiver end. The included ON/OFF switch on the Kinetic 2S (Novak #5602) has a standard JST plug on it. Before connecting, note the wiring sequence of the installed harness connectors as shown here. The Kinetic 2S's heat sink is designed to accept a 25x25mm cooling fan, and comes with nylon 4-40x5/8" screws to secure it. To install, simply center the fan on the ESC and push the nylon screws down into the cross cuts of the heat sink. Install the fan's power connector onto the fan output pins on the ESC--note polarity as shown below.

DO NOT BUNDLE POWER & SIGNAL WIRES TOGETHER RF noise in the power wires can adversely effect radio system performance. Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to prevent short circuits, which can damage the ESC. Exposure to CA glue or its fumes can cause damage to internal components of the ESC and result in premature failure.

P4 P1 step 1­connect input harness The Kinetic has a userreplaceable input harness with a 2mm mini plug on the ESC end of it and the industrystandard JST connector on the receiver end of it. The Kinetic works with all major radio brand's new receivers [Refer to Figure 1 to see how to connect the included user-replaceable input harness]. However, some very old receivers must have the wiring sequence in the plastic 3-pin JST FIGURE 1 connector housing changed Input harness plugged into Ch. [. . . ] IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT OVERHEAT SOLDER TABS Prolonged/excessive heating of solder tabs (motor or ESC) will damage PCB. Note: Make sure no wire strands have strayed to an adjacent solder tab, this will result in short-circuiting & severe ESC damage, which will void the warranty. B Battery pack, servo, receiver, motor plugs, and external receiver pack (for Kinetic 1S Set-Up Photo) are not included; items are available separately.
