Description of GY501 Operation

The GY501 gyro allows the operator to switch between the AVCS
mode (operation using AVCS function) and Normal mode (conven-
tional gyro mode) from the transmitter. Of course, the GY501 can
also be used in the AVCS mode only.

Remote Gain Function

The remote gain function lets operator perform AVCS mode and
Normal mode sensitivity adjustment and operation mode switching
from the transmitter. The channel used here is called the "remote
gain channel".

(Channel 5 is used.)
