NOVAK BEC - 2-2008 User manual

NOVAK BEC
MODULES
#5460, #5463,
#5465 & #5473
This Novak BEC regulates output to 6 volts to provide
consistent power to the electronics throughout the charge.
Input Voltage Specication:
#5460 3A BEC ................... 6-8 Ni-MH cells (1.2v/cell) or 2S Li-Po
#5463 3A High-Volt ...... 4-22 Ni-MH cells (1.2v/cell) or 2-7S Li-Po
#5465 5A BEC ................... 6-8 Ni-MH cells (1.2v/cell) or 2S Li-Po
#5473 5A BEC w/ Li-Po Monitor ........................... 2S Li-Po (only)
GENERAL NITRO/GAS INSTALLATION:
Find an available area on your chassis close1.
to the main battery pack and receiver. Use the
included tie-wrap or
double-sided tape to mount
the BEC and the on/off switch in the vehicle. For
the #5473 module, mount the external LED in a
place easily visible when the car is in operation.
Find a convenient place to solder the red and2.
black wires to your main power source. Some
good places for this are the battery connector or
the ESC’s positive and negative solder tabs where
the main power capacitor connects in an electric
vehicle. The wires should be shortened if possible.
Plug the BEC’s 3-pin JST connector into your3.
receiver’s battery slot, making sure the polarity
is correct. On most receivers, the black wire will
face towards the outside of the receiver and the
red will be more towards the center of the receiver.
Leave the ESC’s power switch OFF for electric vehicles
and use the BEC’s on/off switch for turning on and off your
model.
If the ESC’s switch is turned on damage can occur!
When the BEC is switched on, the blue LED (#5460,
#5463, #5465 or charge status LED for #5473) will light up.
At this point the BEC will be providing power for the
servos and receiver in your model. [over]
#55-5463-3 2/2008
GENERAL OPERATION:
WARNING! Always make sure that your battery
pack is fully charged before operating your model.
This Battery Eliminator Circuit (BEC) is designed to
regulate the model’s main battery voltage to power
the radio system without a separate receiver pack.
This BEC can NOT supply radio system power
when the main battery becomes discharged.
You will NOT have radio control of model if the main
battery fails or is fully discharged. In no way shall
Novak Electronics, Inc. be responsible or liable for
any damage or loss which may occur from use of this product.

RECOMMENDED ELECTRIC INSTALLATION:
Use this installation method to isolate the ESC from
the BEC and receiver. This is the safest way to operate
a BEC with an ESC in an electric application.
Follow General Installation Steps 1 & 2.1.
Locate the ESC’s input signal harness and remove the2.
red wire from the connector. Insulate the red wire to
avoid short-circuiting, as this wire is “live.”
ELECTRIC VEHICLE OPERATION:
With BEC unit installed, you will rst turn on BEC’s power
switch, THEN turn on your ESC’s power switch. When
turning off the radio system, turn ESC off rst, then BEC.
At this point, the BEC will be providing power for only the
servos and the receiver and NOT the ESC.
When the BEC is switched on, the blue LED (#5460, #5463,
#5465 or charge status LED for #5473) will light up.
Be sure that the red wire is disconnected from the
ESC’s input harness or damage will occur!
LI-PO BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR (For #5473):
The #5473 BEC Module includes a built-in Li-Po monitor
and includes 2 LEDs on the module and one, externally
mountable blue LED.
TROUBLESHOOTING: If there is no power, check the following:
Check your power wire connections from your main1.
battery back to your ESC and to the BEC unit.
Be sure that the input harness from the BEC is2.
plugged into your receiver correctly.
Be sure that the switch of the BEC unit is turned on.3.
