Novak GTB Profile Selection & Gearing Guide (with built-in Li-Po Cut-Off Circuitry) (55-1710P-1) User Manual

Page 2

Throttle Profiles 1, 2, 3, 4, & 6 can be independently customized to
fine tune the speed control to feel just the way you like it.
The GTB lets you adjust the following software parameters:

• Minimum Brake/Drag Brake Percentage--1 of 10 settings.
• Braking Type--1 of 2 types of braking styles (standard Constant Force braking

or DRAG BRAKING where braking is applied during neutral).

• Dead Band--1 of 5 Dead Band settings from 2 to 6%.
• Drive Frequency (Profile 6 only)--1 of 7 Drive Frequencies from 1.5 to 11kHz.
• Minimum Drive Percentage--1 of 5 settings from 2 to 12%.

PLEASE NOTE: This page contains optional Advanced Programming items!

No further adjustments are required.

(but don’t worry, you can always reset factory defaults by performing the One-Touch programming again, so go ahead & experiment--that’s why the programming is in there, right?)

to customizing profiles

:::::

With ESC on & connected to a charged battery (transmitter ON or OFF):

1. IF TRANSMITTER IS OFF, DISCONNECT ESC FROM RECEIVER

Remove input signal harness from receiver to avoid radio interference.

2. MAKE SURE THROTTLE PROFILE 1-4 OR 6 IS ACTIVE

If you are not sure what profile is selected, follow the procedures in ‘Throttle
Profile Selection’ to check or select desired profile.

Remember that you can not access the Brush-Mode (Profile #6) without

disconnecting the brushless motor’s sensor harness from the ESC.

Note: there is no time constraint during selection process of custom parameters.
