User manual NOVAK NESC-1X

[. . . ] If warranty provisions have been voided, there will be service charges. · ESCs returned without a serial number will not be serviced under warranty · DO NOT CONTINUE TO RUN VEHICLE AFTER THE SMART-STOP HAS SHUT DOWN THE THROTTLE OUTPUT THE FIRST TIME. When the ESC is switched ON, the Yellow & Red LEDs will flash together 2 times to indicate LiPo/LiFe Cut-Off is ACTIVE. With the Voltage Cut-Off turned ON & using NiCd or NiMH cells, the circuitry will shut off the ESC's throttle output very early into the run, due to the different characteristics of these batteries. Change the ESC's Cut-Off Circuitry mode to OFF to use these batteries. See CUSTOM PROGRAMMING OPTIONS on Track Guide to properly adjust this setting. TRADE-IN PROGRAM: For non-warranty work, Novak offers a trade-in program for current and discontinued products. [. . . ] 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.

MUST BE 14 YEARS OR OLDER TO OPERATE SENSOR-BASED BRUSHLESS MOTORS ONLY To benefit from all of the technical features of the NESC-1X, PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE OPERATION NO SCHOTTKY DIODES! product warranty The NESC-1X Brushless ESC 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 to case or exposed circuit boards, damage from using more than 6 cells (1. 2 volts DC/cell) or more than 2 LiPo/LiFe cells input voltage, damage resulting from using LiPo/LiFe batteries without Smart-Stop voltage cut-off circuitry active, using insufficient LiPo/LiFe batteries that cannot supply the amount of current required by this system, cross-connection of battery/motor power wires, overheating solder tabs, reverse voltage application, improper use or installation of external BEC, damage resulting from thermal overload or short-circuiting motor, damage from incorrect installation of FET servo or receiver battery pack, damage due to free revving motor, damage due to using a nonNovak motor or a non-sensored motor, not using or incorrect installation of a Power Trans-Cap Module on the ESC or from using a damaged Power Trans-Cap Module, using a Schottky diode, splices to input, ON/OFF switch, or sensor harnesses, 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 natural disaster. Because Novak has no control over the connection & use of the speed control or other related electronics, no liability may be assumed nor will be accepted for any damage resulting from the use of this product. Every Novak speed control & motor is thoroughly tested & cycled before leaving our facility and is, therefore, considered operational. By the act of connecting/operating speed control, user accepts all resulting liability. In no case shall our liability exceed the product's original cost.

MAKE SURE THE PINION/SPUR GEAR MESH IS NOT TOO TIGHT!Tighten motor mounting screws­Avoid using excessive force that could break screws or strip the threaded holes in motor. CHECK FOR PROPER GEARING The brushless motor & ESC should NOT be hotter than 160°F after a 5 minute run. Lower the gearing until both ESC & motor are under this temperature. The cooler the ESC runs, the better the performance of the system. **Check out our NovaGear App, available on the AppleTM iTunes Store, for help selecting the proper starting points for gearing in your brushless motor applications** 7. PUSH TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO FULL-BRAKE/REVERSE Hold it there until the green status LED blinks green. 8. RETURN TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO NEUTRAL The red status LED will turn solid red, indicating that speed control is at neutral and that proper programming has been completed. NOTE: If transmitter settings are changed, One-Touch Programming must be repeated. NOTE: Whenever the One-Touch Programming set-up is performed, the speed control will automatically revert back to the factory-default settings. F. Set ELECTRONIC TRIGGER THROW ADJUSTMENT to 70% throttle and NOTE: The receiver & servo electronics may be damaged if the sequence is incorrect. [. . . ] 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.
