Novak ESC Profile Software - Manual (Page 8)

NOVAK ELECTRONICS • PROFILE SOFTWARE 8
• DRAG BRAKE VALUE
–Measured as percentage (%) of Full Brake value.
–Adjusts amount of Drag Brake applied within the Deadband
when throttle trigger is in the Neutral position (Figure 6).
–When the Drag Brake value is greater than zero, Drag Braking
is applied in the Deadband area. When the throttle trigger is
returned to Neutral, braking information is sent to the motor.
This can be used to obtain Drag Brakes without shifting the
Neutral position of the transmitter with the throttle trim, and
will in turn eliminate the Deadband (now ‘dead’ trigger) space
that has also been shifted toward the Full Throttle side of the
trigger movement before Drive can be applied.
–When the Drag Brake Toggle is set to ON position, the Brake
Pot on the Cyclone adjusts the Drag Brake Value. Drag Brakes
during Neutral/Deadband are now set at the same level as
Minimum Brake. With Drag Brake Toggle ON, the Drag Brake
Value can NOT be set with the ESC Profile Software, only with
the Brake Pot on the Cyclone.
–When Drag Brake Toggle is OFF, the Brake Pot on the Cyclone
adjusts only the Minimum Brake value. Drag Brake Value can
now be set above zero with the Profile Software to obtain
Drag Brakes. Minimum Brake value can now be independently
set higher or lower than the Drag Braking (Figure 8).
