Check wiring color sequence of receiver signal harness (Refer to Step 1). [. . . ] If warranty provisions have been voided, there will be service charges. ·ESCs returned without a serial number will not be serviced under warranty· DISCONNECT BATTERIES WHEN NOT IN USE Always disconnect the battery pack from the speed control when not in use to avoid short circuits and possible fire hazard. Novak Super-Flex wire for power wiring. 14 gauge silicone wire in kit #5500 (36"red & 36"black) and kit #5505 (36"red & 36"blue). User-replaceable input signal harness is available in both short and long lengths. 4. 5" harness in Novak kit#5315, and 9. 0" harness in Novak kit #5320. Additional motor capacitors are available in Novak kit #5620. If using Ni-Cd or Ni-MH batteries, NEVER use fewer than 4 or more than 7 cells (4. 8-8. 4VDC, 1. 2VDC/cell) in the vehicle's main battery pack. If using Li-Po batteries, ONLY use a 2-cell pack for the vehicle's main battery & be sure to use Profile 3 or 4 with the built-in Li-Po cut-off. An external power capacitor is installed and MUST be used with your ESC. 4 TO 7 CELLS OR 2-CELL Li-Po ONLY AUXILIARY COOLING FANS [Novak kits #5647 & #5648] NO REVERSE VOLTAGE! The Rooster 12T comes with power output pins ready to add a cooling fan that will switch on & off with the ESC's power switch. Novak 25x25x10mm fan with long leads for cooling motor is available in Novak kit #5647. Novak 30x30x6mm clear fan that fits perfect over the ESC's heat sink and has a connector already on its leads is available in Novak kit #5648. POWER CAPACITOR REQUIRED Failure to use Power Capacitor will result in higher ESC operating temperatures & possible thermal shut-down. Always turn on the power of the transmitter first so that you will have control of the vehicle when you turn it on. Always insulate exposed wiring with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to prevent short circuits, which can damage ESC. Exposing the speed control's case to any type of solvents will damage the plastic. Exposure to CA glue or its fumes can cause damage to internal components of the speed control and result in premature failure.

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. Electric motors generate RF noise that causes interference. The included 0. 1µF (50V) non-polarized, ceramic capacitors must be used on all motors to reduce motor noise & prevent ESC damage. If your motor only has two capacitors, you need to install a capacitor between the positive & negative motor tabs­­If you experience radio interference when using only built-in capacitors, install external ones. With ESC connected to (at least) a receiver & a charged battery pack: 1. PULL TRANSMITTER THROTTLE TO FULL-ON POSITION Hold it there until the green status LED turns solid green. Hold it there until the green status LED blinks green. changing wiring sequence @ receiver end 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 one end of the input signal harness into the THROTTLE CHANNEL (#2) of receiver with the BLACK wire toward the outside edge of receiver case. · Plug the other end of the input harness into 3-pin header on the front edge of the ESC's circuit board with the WHITE wire toward the left side of the ESC (refer to pin-out label on case). 4. [. . . ] Plug the external 5 cell (1. 2VDC/cell) receiver battery pack into the battery slot of the receiver. Leave the ESC'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. Once released, the 4 status LEDs will flash to indicate what Throttle Profile is currently selected. The number of times the LEDs flash indicates the Throttle Profile selection (1 of 4). *** Note: there is a time constraint during this selection process. QUICK PRESS (& release) SET BUTTON TO CHANGE SELECTION Each press will change to the next consecutive Throttle Profile. 2. [. . . ]
