NO SCHOTTKY DIODES! service procedures Before sending your ESC in for service, review Trouble-Shooting guide & instructions. After reviewing instructions, if you feel your ESC requires service, please obtain the most current product service options & pricing by the following: WEBSITE: Print a copy of the PRODUCT SERVICE FORM from the CUSTOMER SERVICE section of the website. Fill out the needed information on this form and return it with the Novak product that requires servicing. PHONE/E-MAIL: If you do not have access to the internet, contact our customer service dept. by phone or e-mail as listed on the front page. INPUT SIGNAL HARNESS [Novak kits #5315 & 5320] User-replaceable input signal harnesses are available for the Super Duty XR in both short (#5315) and long lengths (#5320). : ALWAYS USE HEAT SINKS REPLACEMENT SWITCH HARNESS [Novak kit #5600] The replacement switch harness has ON/OFF switch with pre-tinned wires ready to solder to the Super Duty XR's Direct-Solder Wire Tabs. POWER CAPACITOR REQUIRED 2. PRESS & HOLD THE ONE-TOUCH SET BUTTON Continue to hold SET button on ESC until both LEDs turns on. 4. RELEASE SET BUTTON AS SOON AS BOTH LEDs COMES ON Once released, the status LEDs will flash to indicate what Throttle Program is currently selected. The number of times the LEDs flash indicates the Throttle Program selection (1 of 3). WARRANTY SERVICE: For warranty work, you MUST CLAIM WARRANTY on PRODUCT SERVICE FORM & include a valid cash register receipt with purchase date and dealer name & phone# on it, or an invoice from previous service. If warranty provisions have been voided, there will be service charges. ESCs returned without a serial number will not be serviced under warranty. TRANSMITTER ON FIRST INSULATE WIRES NO CA GLUE product warranty The Super Duty XR speed control 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, damage from using fewer than 6 or more than 14 cells (1. 2 volts DC/cell) input voltage, cross-connection of battery/motor, overheating solder tabs, reverse voltage application, damage from incorrect installation of FET servo or receiver battery pack, not installing three 0. 1µF (50V) capacitors on each motor, incorrect installation of a Power Capacitor on the ESC or from using a damaged Power Capacitor, using a Schottky diode or non-Novak Power Capacitor, splices to input harness, 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 act of God. 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. MOTOR CAPACITORS prep step 4­wiring speed control, motor, & battery Using Single Battyer Pack: continued ­> The Super Duty XR is epuipped with the industry standard receiver input connector on a user-replaceable input harness that works with all the major radio brand's new receivers. However, some very old receivers must have the wiring sequence inside the plastic 3-pin connector housing changed. This is an important step, because the receiver electronics may be damaged if the sequence is not correct. changing wiring sequence @ receiver end JR · Hitec · Futaba · New KO · Airtronics Z 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 the connector on one end of the input harness into the receiver with the BLACK wire toward the outside edge of receiver case. · Plug the other end of the input harness into 3-pin header inside rectangular opening on top of the Super Duty XR's case with the WHITE wire toward the `S' (signal) marking on the ESC's label. 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 tabs. If you experience radio inter-ference when using only the built-in capacitors, install external ones. Solder 0. 1µF (50V) capacitors between: · POSITIVE (+) motor tab & NEGATIVE (­) motor tab. [. . . ] · Install the ON/OFF switch using a screw or double-sided tape where it will be easy to access. · Be sure receiver & antenna are mounted as far from ESC, power wires, battery, and servo as possible--these components all emit RF noise when throttle is being applied. On graphite or aluminum chassis vehicles, it may help to place receiver on edge with crystal & antenna as far above chassis as possible. Note: Mount antenna as close to receiver as possible--trail any excess wire off top of antenna mast (cutting or coiling excess antenna wire will reduce radio range). battery & motor connectors If you are going to use connectors for your motor, or change the factory installed battery connectors, we suggest the Dean's Ultra Connectors. When installing battery & motor connectors, please note the following: Black power wires (battery negative) 6 to 7 cell battery packs Novak Platinum GP3300VE shown (part #6000) (­) (+) Red power wires (battery positive) why you want a power capictor The Super Duty XR comes with the best available power Capacitor that drops ESC operating temperatures by 10-15°F (remember, cooler means your ESC will be more efficient & faster) and dissipates noise & voltage spikes from the speed control's high switching speed.
