User manual FUTABA 3PM-2.4GHZ

[. . . ] Before using your 3PM-2. 4GHz system, read this manual carefully in order to use your R/C set safely. After reading this manual, store it in a safe place. Application, Export, and Modification 1. It is not intended for use in any application other than the control of models for hobby and recreational purposes. Exportation precautions: (a) When this product is exported from the country of manufacture, its use is to be approved by the laws governing the country of destination for devices that emit radio frequencies. [. . . ] Mount the servos so they do not directly come in contact with the mount. If the servo case comes in direct contact with the mount, vibration will be directly transmitted to the servo. Motor Noise Suppression Always install capacitors to suppress noise when electric motors are used. If capacitors are not properly installed you could experience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control. Other Noise Suppression Methods Be sure there are no metal parts in your model which under vibration could come in contact with other metal parts. Metal to metal contacts under vibration will emit a high frequency noise that will affect the receiver's performance. You could experience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control. Electronic speed control Install the heat sinks where they will not come in contact with aluminum, carbon fiber or other parts that conduct electricity. If the Electronic speed control heat sinks touch other materials that conduct electricity a short circuit could occur. This could result in loss of control and damage to the system. Installation If this condition continues for a long time the servo may be damaged and control will be lost. 23 Initial Set-Up How to link the transmitter and the receiver Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter with which it is being paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no further linking is necessary unless the receiver needs to be used with an other transmitter. Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each other, within one meter. Check the LED that is placed on the back side of the transmitter to see if the RF signal is transmitted. When the green LED is solid ON, the RF signal is transmitted. *Please refer the table below for LED status vs transmitter's condition. LED and F/S switch LED status vs transmitter's condition: Parameter check for 0. 5 seconds after power-on Transmitting signals F/S is activated by the F/S switch of the transmitter. (PPM mode) Unrecoverable failure (EEPROM, etc. ) Red: On Green: On Green: Blink Red and Green turn on alternatively. 24 Initial Set-Up 4. When the link is complete, the LED in the receiver changes to solid green. *Please refer the table below for LED status vs receiver's condition. LED status vs receiver's condition: No signal reception Receiving signals Receiving signals, but ID is unmatched. Unrecoverable failure (EEPROM, etc. ) Red : On Green: On Green: Blink Red and Green turn on alternatively. How to Set the F/S Position (PPM mode) PPM mode only: *HRS mode: Set the F/S function by the fail safe function menu. 1. Move and hold the throttle trigger to the F/S servo position you want to set (slow side). Then push the F/S switch on the transmitter. *The LED blinks green. LED and F/S switch Note: Always set the F/S position when turning on the transmitter power. Preparations (Transmitter) Before setting the transmitter functions, check and set items below. (Display when power switch is turned on) Turn on the transmitter power. Modulation mode PP: PPM mode HRS: HRS mode (displayed for about one second) Battery voltage Model name Model number 1. Model Number Check When the power switch is turned on, the current selected model number is displayed. To change the model number, use the Model Select function (page 48). 2. Modulation Mode Check The T3PM-2. 4G transmitter output signal format can be changed. If this setting is incorrect, change it with the HRS/PPM Select function (page 53). Initial Set-Up 25 3. Trims Initial Set-Up - Steering trim (DT1) check At initial set-up, steering trim is assigned to digital trim DT1 above the steering wheel. Operate the DT1 lever and check if the steering trim value on the screen changes. After checking the trim, set the trim value to the center (0) position. - Throttle trim (DT2) check At initial set-up, throttle trim is assigned to digital trim DT2 at the left side of the steering wheel. [. . . ] Signal mode HR: HRS mode PP: PPM mode HRS/PPM mode selection 1 (Mode selection) Use the (+) or (-) button to select the mode. 2 When ending adjustment, turn off the power switch before use. Functions 53 Function Select Switch / FNC-SW This function allows selection of the function to be performed by the switches (SW1/SW2).
