(refer to

for details)
NOTE: Make sure to plug in your NovaLink Adaptor before launching the NovaLink program
Any time One-Touch programming is performed, the speed controller will automatically revert
back to factory-default settings. The only exception is when the Timing settings are
programmed via the NovaLink. These settings are kept in the ESC’s non-volatile memory and
when you connect the ESC to the NovaLink, the following values will be uploaded from the
ESC non-volatile memory:
-
Timing Set Point
-
Max Timing RPM
-
Timing Level
-
Boost Mode
-
Boost Delay
When the ESC is powered up it goes through the following sequence:
1.
All five LEDs light up during an internal test cycle.
2.
Blue
and
green
LEDs light up while the ESC is looking for the NovaLink. During this
time, it is sending out messages through the input harness and is expecting a return
message from the NovaLink. If no messages are received by the ESC, it times out.
3.
Red
and
yellow
LEDs blink twice to indicate Li-poly mode.
4.
If the ESC is connected to a receiver and the signal is present, the
red
,
yellow
and
blue
LEDs light up to indicate that the Neutral PPM signal is present and the Drag
brake is enabled (if Timing is enable, the
white
LED will also light up).
5.
If no signal is present, the
red
and
green
LEDs will light up.
