User manual NOVAK REACTOR REVERSIBLE

[. . . ] · NO SCHOTTKY DIODES External Schottky diodes must NOT be used with reversible speed controls. · DON'T LET TRANSISTOR TABS TOUCH Never allow separate transistor banks to touch each other or any exposed metal. · DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES Always disconnect the battery pack from the speed control when not in use. · TRANSMITTER ON FIRST Always turn on the power of your transmitter first so that you will have control of the radio equipment when you turn on the speed control. [. . . ] · Make sure ESC is plugged into the throttle channel of receiver. · ESC One-Touch button not held long enough­­Press and hold One-Touch button during programming until status LED turns solid red. ESC Will Not Go In Reverse · Reverse circuitry disable­­Refer to Step 6 to enable. 3. [Adjusts the neutral position of speed control] [Increase or decrease after ESC adjustment to adjust coast brakes­­to give braking in neutral trigger position] Steering Channel Works But Motor Will Not Run · Speed control has thermally shut down­­Allow ESC to cool down­­Use milder motor or smaller pinion gear. · Make sure ESC is plugged into the throttle channel of receiver. Check the wiring color sequence & metal socket insertion of receiver harness. · Possible internal damage­­Refer to Service Procedures. 2. DO NOT USE GLUE Do not use glue or adhesives to attach the heat sinks to the transistors. DO NOT SHORT CIRCUIT HEAT SINKS Each bank of heat sinks should never contact each other or other conductive objects (metal, etc. ), or they will short circuit and damage the ESC. STEP 2 5. Set ELECTRONIC TRIGGER THROW ADJUSTMENT to 50% throttle and 50% brake/reverse throw (or 5:5). [Adjusts pistol-grip transmitter's throttle trigger throw on electronic/digital transmitters] 7. Set MECHANICAL TRIGGER THROW ADJUSTMENT to 1/2 throttle and 1/2 brake/reverse throw. [Adjusts pistol-grip transmitter's throttle trigger throw on mechanical/analog transmitters] Receiver Glitches/Throttle Stutters On Acceleration · Motor capacitors broken or missing­­Refer to Step 3. · Receiver or antenna too close to speed control, power wires, battery, or motor­­Refer to Step 2. · Excessive current to motor­­Use a milder motor or a smaller pinion gear. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS 1. DETERMINE BEST ESC MOUNTING LOCATION The ESC should be positioned away from receiver and antenna as shown in the Set-Up photo on the front. Choose a mounting position that will keep the power wires clear from obstructing movement of the suspension or the motor pod. So, choose a mounting position that allows maximum airflow through the heat sinks. INSTALL SPEED CONTROL Use the included double-sided tape to mount the ESC. INSTALL ON/OFF SWITCH Choose a convenient place to mount the switch where it will be easy to get to. Mount switch using a piece of double-sided tape or with a screw through the hole in the base of the switch housing. INSTALL RECEIVER Mount the receiver as far from the motor, power wires, battery, and servo as possible. All of these components emit radio noise when the throttle is being applied. [. . . ] By the act of connecting/operating ESC, the user accepts all resulting liability. Extra 0. 1µF capacitors are available in Novak kit #5620 2. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SCHOTTKY DIODES NO SCHOTTKY DIODES Schottky diodes must NOT be used with reversible speed controls. Using a Schottky diode will damage the speed control and will void the warranty. CONNECT SPEED CONTROL TO THE RECEIVER After the proper input plug plastic has been installed to match the receiver (See front page), plug the speed control into the THROTTLE CHANNEL of the receiver.
