GRAUPNER G-BOOSTER 160 – Manual 1.91
5:R/C-SETTINGS – Adapting the JETRONIC Unit to your R/C System
CAUTION: Do not change any settings in the R/C-SETTINGS menu unless you know
exactly what effect the respective change will have! Wrong settings can lead to serious
problems during the operation of your jet engine.
In the standard setup, RC1 is used for the throttle and the trimming is used as an ON/OFF
switching function. You can also use RC2 as an additional ON/OFF safety switch. The remote
control signals RC1 and RC2 must have a
positive
servo travel way, i.e. short pulses (-100 %) for
OFF or IDLE and long pulses (+100 %) for ON or 100 % / full thrust. This complies with the
JR/Graupner
standard setting. For Futaba or Multiplex transmitters, you may have to use the
servo reverse switch.
The parameters printed in blue (51, 52, 53) are necessary settings to be made before the
first operation of the jet engine!
50:R/C-MONITOR
shows the current signals at the RC1 and RC2 inputs. For RC1 (throttle), the current throttle/thrust
setting is displayed:
NO
= no signal
LOCK
= throttle and trimming OFF = 51:RC1-TRIM.OFF
0-100%
= throttle/thrust in % between 52:RC1-IDLE and 53:RC1-100%
In addition to the trimming signal, the RC2 input can be used as a safety switch. To do so, set the
parameter 54:RC2-MODE to SAFETY.
NO
= no signal
OFF
= OFF signal (-100 %)
ON
= ON signal (+100 %) = unlocked
51:RC1-TRIM.OFF
Teach-in the RC1 signal for the position "engine = OFF" (shortest pulse). Activate the teach mode
with the SET key and move the trimm and the throttle to the OFF position (trimm and throttle all the
way back). The pulse length is shown on the display. To finish the adjustment and store the new
value, press the SET key again.
Standard value: 1.00 ms
52:RC1-IDLE
Teach-in the RC1 signal for the position "engine = IDLE" (trimm forward, throttle all the way back).
The pulse length is shown on the display. To finish the adjustment and store the new value, press
the SET key again.
Standard value: 1.25 ms
53:RC1-100%
Teach-in the RC1 signal for the position "engine = 100 % / full thrust" (longest pulse). Activate the
teach mode with the SET key and move the throttle to the 100 % / full thrust position (trimm and
throttle all the way forward). The pulse length is shown on the display. To finish the adjustment and
store the new value, press the SET key again.
Standard value: 2.00 ms
