INSTRUCTION MANUAL
-
The value shown initially in the field is the ESC’s current value if the
ESC is connected to the NovaLink
Maximum Timing RPM
-
Maximum Timing RPM is the motor RPM at which the full amount of
Dynamic Timing Advancement starts application. This full amount of
timing will be applied at all RPMs above this point. Dynamic Timing
Advance is added in incremental steps between the Timing Set Point
RPM and the Maximum Timing RPM.
-
Values from 2,000 to 35,000 RPM can be entered in increments of 1
RPM.
-
In order to attain maximum timing advancement, this setting must
be below the maximum RPM.
-
The Maximum Timing RPM value should be at least 2,000 (1S) or
4,000 (2S) RPM higher than the Timing Set Point.
-
The value shown initially in the field is the ESC’s current value if the
ESC is connected to the NovaLink
Timing Level
-
Timing Level is the maximum degree of Dynamic Timing Advance
TM
applied to the motor.
-
Increasing the setting will increase the maximum amount of
electronic motor timing that is applied to the motor throughout the
throttle band. Using a higher timing setting will result in more overall
motor RPM, and more current and heating.
-
Special attention to gearing must be applied when experimenting
with timing changes. Start with a VERY small pinion size and check
ESC and motor temperatures at multiple times throughout initial
runs.
-
Values from 0° (OFF) to 55° can be entered in increments of 1
degree.
WARNING: USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN APPLYING DYNAMIC
TIMING ADVANCE AS THIS MAY RESULT IN EXCESSIVE HEATING
OF THE ESC AND/OR MOTOR AND CAUSE EXTREMELY HIGH
SPEEDS THAT CAN RESULT IN AN UNCONTROLLABLE VEHICLE.
DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. CHECK
TEMPERATURE LEVELS AND NEVER START AT HIGH TIMING
LEVELS.
Timing RPM Defaults
-
There are several default settings available, based on motor turn and
number of cells in the main battery pack. Selecting one of these
defaults will enter the recommended starting RPM for both the
Timing Set Point and the Maximum Timing Point. These values can
be fine-tuned by entering custom RPM values in the text boxes.
-
Selecting one of these default settings is optional.
