Throttle Mode "THR MODE"

Idle-Up

IDLUP

"

This is a function select switch function. The idle up ON/OFF switch must be set. (P62)

This function is used to improve engine starting performance by raising the idling speed
when starting the engine of a gasoline car (boat). It is also effective when you want to
prevent the braking when the power was turned off during running, due to the effect
of your gear ratio setting and choice of motor when operating an electric car. However,
considering safety, and to prevent the motor from rotating instantly when the power was
turned on, the MC950CR, MC851C, MC602C, MC402CR, and other Futaba MC (Motor
Controllers) will not enter the operation mode if the neutral position is not conﬁrmed.
When using the MC950CR, MC851C, MC602C, MC402CR, or other Futaba MC, con-
ﬁrm that the MC is in the neutral position and the set is in the operation mode before
setting the idle up function switch to ON.

The throttle neutral position is offset to the forward side or brake side. There is no link-
age locking, etc. because there is no change near the maximum operation angle even
when the neutral position is offset by this function.

Operation

(Preparation)

- Use the function select switch to select the switch. (page 62)

1

(Idle-Up rate)

Select the setting item "IDLUP" by (UP) or (DN) button. Use

ond.

Idle-Up rate (IDLUP)

D50 ~ D1, 0, U1 ~ U50

  Initial value: 0
  "D": Brake side
  "U": Forward side

If the power switch is
t u r ne d on wh i le t he
idle-up switch is on, an

the Idle-Up switch to
OFF.

While this function is ON, the LED blinks.
