[. . . ] Adjust settings (refer to "NovaLink Parameter Definitions") 3. Click Update to update your ESC's settings (your ESC will not be updated when you press Save) (Your NovaLink interface will disconnect and reconnect your ESC during this process) a. Do NOT disconnect your ESC while it is updating (refer to Disconnecting Your ESC) 4. When the NovaLink screen re-appears, the updated profile has been successfully saved to the ESC 9 | Novak Electronics, Inc. www. teamnovak. com Instruction Manual Resetting to Default Settings 1. Resetting your profile will change all your parameters back to its default values 3. If you plan on using these defaults for your ESC, do not forget to update your ESC (refer to "Uploading/Updating a Profile") Sharing Profiles NovaLink allows users to share profiles by providing a feature to open existing profiles. After receiving files from other users, you can then upload them onto NovaLink to view the parameters and use them on your own ESC. Choosing the Expo/Custom curve provides a less responsive (more forgiving) low-end braking that can be more controllable. By selecting the "Modify" button, the exponential curve will be displayed on a separate screen. It can be modified by grabbing any of the points along the curve and dragging them to their desired positions There are several default brake curves that can be selected and applied to your speed control. These defaults are located in the "Default Curves" drop down menu located in the upper left area of the Brake Curve screen. - - - Note: The Brake Frequency cannot be adjusted when a custom curve is selected. Brake End Point - Brake End Point is the percentage of the transmitter trigger's brake throw at which the ESC's brakes will reach 100% braking power. The setting is also useful for light vehicles as they will accelerate more controllably under initial drive. The speed control has built-in Thermal Overload Circuitry to protect the ESC from damage resulting from excessive temperatures. If the ESC starts to overheat, this sophisticated circuitry will turn off the electronic motor timing advancement. If the ESC's temperature continues to rise, the circuitry drops the ESC's power output to 25% allowing you to safely maneuver your vehicle off of the track. Selecting "On" (default and highly recommended) enables the Thermal Overload Circuitry. Selecting "Off", disables the circuitry. - ESC Temp Protection - - Note: Damage resulting from the ESC overheating is not covered under the products warranty. DISABLING THIS FEATURE IS NOT RECOMMENDED. Independent Drag Brakes This feature allows the speed control to have the Drag Brake value either linked to the Minimum Brake setting or independently adjusted. Selecting "Off" (default) will tie the Minimum Brake to the Drag Brake value if Drag Brakes are set to a value higher than Minimum Brake. Selecting "On" will allow the Drag Brake and Minimum Brake settings to be independently adjusted. Minimum Brake is the amount of brake applied with the first pulse of transmitter throttle information. Custom values can entered in increments of 0. 1%* Increasing the Minimum Brake setting starts the braking at a stronger/higher level. [. . . ] The Timing Set Point, Maximum Timing RPM, and Timing Level are imported from the Advanced Settings Page and cannot be changed in the Timing Curve window. For each RPM or Timing Level, the values cannot be less than the values in the previous numeric box or greater than the next numeric box. This is a unique feature developed by Novak Electronics, Inc. - - Timing Curve - - - Example: The default Timing Curve is linear: By modifying the Timing Curve, users can adjust their Timing Level and RPM: Timing Level - Timing Level is the maximum degree of Dynamic Timing AdvanceTM applied to the motor. Increasing the setting will increase the maximum amount of electronic motor timing that is applied to the motor throughout the www. teamnovak. com - 19 | Novak Electronics, Inc.
