The Turbine Limits menu
The LIMITS menu allows the operator to alter the operational limits of the turbine (of course only
within the permitted range). In this way it is possible to adjust the turbine’s running char-
acteristics to provide an accurate match to the requirements of a particular model.
Name
Explanation
Minimum RPM
Idle speed of the turbine (= rpm-slider back)
Default setting = 33000
Maximum RPM
Maximum speed of the turbine (= rpm-slider forward)
Default setting = 93000
LoBatt. warning
Battery warning function by reducing rpm (not suitable for helicopters)
Default setting = DISABLED
Fueltank size
Capacity of the fueltank in ml
Default setting = 2000 ml
LowFuel Limit
Residual fuel volume at which the fuel warning function is activated.
Default setting = 500 ml
LowFuel Warning
Switches the fuel warning function ON/OFF
Standardeinstellung = Disabled (=AUS)
GlowPlug Power
Glowplug voltage in Volts
Default setting = 2.1V for A3 glowplug
GasFlow
The propane gas throughput can be programmed. In the warm part of the
year (-> high gas pressure) it may be advisable to reduce the propane
throughput slightly (to about 30 - 50%), in order to obtain the optimum
ignition mixture combined with reduced gas consumption.
AUX-channel Func
The AUX channel (= 3-position switch) is normally disabled at the PHT3,
the turbine ist controlled by a single channel (rpm-slider).
Possible settings:
„NOT USED“ (Default setting )
AUX channel not used, i.e. the AUX lead does not have to be
connected to the receiver
turbine is controlled via the throttle
channel only
the AUX channel is not taken into account or
interrogated when the radio control system is “learned”.
„ON, TrbCtrl ON“
=, AUX switch active, AUX switch used to control turbine.
„ON, TrbCtrl OFF“
= AUX switch active, but AUX switch not used to control turbine,
i.e. AUX switch is only used to control auxiliary functions such as
AirSpeed Control or Smoker valve.
FailSafeDly
Time (in s) during which the thottle channel stays in HOLD mode when a
failsafe event is detected.
Default setting = 1
FailSafeRPM
Turbine rpm during a failsafe event after the delay time is expired.
FailSafeTimeOut
Time (in s) after which the turbine is shut down if the system is still in
failsafe state
