User manual NOVAK M2 DIG BASIC SET UP GUIDE

[. . . ] STEP 5-one-touch programming With ESC connected to (at least) a receiver and a charged battery pack, and the transmitter's Aux/3rd channel (3Ch required for Dig) set to its middle position: OPTIONAL RECEIVER PACK USAGE If you are planning to use an external receiver battery pack with the M2 Dig 3S 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. [. . . ] Use of this product in an uncontrolled manner may result in physical damage or injuries--take extra care when operating any remote control vehicle. · All Rights Reserved · No part of these instructions may be reproduced without the written permission of Novak Electronics, Inc. The two sets of three pins behind the power output pins are for the input signal harnesses. The polarity is the same for both: Positive in the middle, Negative on the left, and signal on the right. 25x25x10mm COOLING FANS [Novak kits #5647 & #5651] POWER-CAP HARNESS [Novak kit #5682] Using LiPo batteries that cannot supply the amount of current required by this system will result in possible battery pack, ESC & motor damage, and will void the warranty. It is recommended to use a 25C or higher rating. GOOD QUALITY LiPo BATTERIES SUGGESTED Black auxilliary cooling fan fits ESC's heat sink perfectly & has 2-pin plug for easy connection. Required for use. Always turn on the power of the transmitter first so that you will have control of the vehicle when you turn it on. TRANSMITTER ON FIRST POWER TRANS-CAP MODULE­3S LiPo [Novak kit #5686] Optional Power Trans-Cap module. Lowers operating temperatures. LOW-LOSS POWER CONNECTORS­3. 5mm [Novak kit #5731] LEAD-FREE SILVER SOLDER [Novak kit #5831-#5833] Gold-plated Low-Loss connectors for wiring electronics. Novak solder contains 3% Silver for high-conductivity and is available in three sizes. 6g in Novak kit #5831, 15g in Novak kit #5832, and 100g in Novak kit #5833. With the higher performance systems, undesirable radio system noise may occur when used with lower quality radio systems (like some RTR radios). GOOD QUALITY RADIO SYSTEM SUGGESTED DO NOT BUNDLE POWER & SIGNAL WIRES TOGETHER RF noise in the power wires can adversely effect radio system performance. MOUNTING TAPE 25x35mm [Novak kit #5840 & #5841] HEAT SHRINK TUBING [Novak kit #5850 & #5851] Premium Novak double-sided mounting tape to secure electronics in vehicles. Novak heat shrink tubing is 6" long and available in six sizes: 1/16" - 3/8". 6 piece assortment in Novak kit #5850, and 24 piece assortment in Novak kit #5851. Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to prevent short circuits. Exposure to CA glue or its fumes can cause damage to internal components of the ESC and result in premature failure.

MOTOR CAPACITORS Electric motors generate RF noise that can cause radio interference. The included 0. 1µF (50V) [Novak #5620] non-polarized, ceramic capacitors may be used to reduce motor noise, if needed.

Install pinion on motor and align pinion and spur gears. You NEED a small amount of play between the pinion gear and the spur gear (about the thickness of a piece of paper)­check the free play at several positions around the spur gear to ensure a proper mesh (just in case the gears are out of round). Tighten motor mounting screws­Avoid using excessive force that could break screws or strip the threaded holes in motor. [. . . ]
