INSTRUCTION MANUAL 

NOVALINK INSTRUCTIONS 

Startup 

 
 
 
 

 

1.

 

Make sure to have your USB cable, NovaLink USB Adaptor, and ESC ready  

2.

 

Plug the USB cable into your computer’s USB port 

3.

 

Plug the NovaLink adaptor into the USB cable 
 
 
 

4.

 

Unplug the ESC fan 

5.

 

Start the NovaLink program 

6.

 

If you are ready to upload and configure your ESC settings, refer to the 

Uploading /Updating a 

Profile

 section 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Always unplug the ESC fan before running NovaLink or the ESC Firmware Upgrade! 
(refer to 

Precautions

 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.
