In addition to the two dual-axis stick units for the con-
trol functions 1 to 4, supplementary transmitter con-
trols (sliders, rotary knobs, switch modules) can be
connected to the sockets marked CH5 to CH10 on
the transmitter circuit board.
Inputs 11 and 12 are pure “software inputs” and can
only be occupied by controls CH5 ... CH10, or by ex-
ternal switches, fi xed switches (FXI or FX ) or control
switches (G1 ... G4 and G1i ... G4i).
In the standard confi guration the two controls in the
centre console of the mc-22s are connected to the
following inputs:
Control Transmitter socket Function input
Left slider CH6 6
Right slider CH7 7
These two sliders, and also any other transmitter con-
trols connected to sockets CH5 to CH10, can now be
assigned freely to any function input you like (see pa-
ges 26 / 27), with
absolutely no restriction . A side-ef-
fect of this arrangement is that one transmitter control
can also be set to operate several function inputs si-
multaneously, e.g. 11
and 12.
It is also possible to assign an external, fi xed or cont-
rol switch to each input; see below for details.
Function inputs 5 to 8 can also be assigned differently
for each fl ight phase, provided that you have defi ned
fl ight phase programs in the »
Phase setting « and
» Phase assignment« menus. In this case the names
assigned to each fl ight phase are displayed in the
bottom line of the screen, e.g. «Normal». Inputs 9 to
12 can only be assigned once in each model memory
(1 to 30). For this reason a transmitter control assig-
ned to these inputs affects all fl ight phases equally.
The basic procedure:
1. Select the appropriate input (5 to 12) with the rota-
ry control pressed in.
2. Use the rotary control to select SEL , the switch
symbol , SYM or ASY in the bottom line of the
screen, so that you can carry out the desired ad-
justments.
3. Press the rotary control: the input fi eld you wish to
modify now switches to inverse video (black back-
ground).
4. Carry out the adjustment using the rotary control.
5. Press the rotary control to conclude the input pro-
cess.
Column 2 “Control or switch assignment”
Hold the rotary control pressed in, and turn it to select
one of the function inputs 5 to 12.
Use the rotary control to move to SEL , or – if SEL is
already selected – press the rotary control briefl y to
select the assignment facility:
a) Operation using transmitter control:
Select transmitter control 5 to 10 (if the appropria-
te socket on the transmitter circuit board is occu-
pied), or switch it to “free” if you wish to de-coup-
le the input from the transmitter control. In this
case (and also if you have assigned a non-existent
transmitter control) the servo associated with this
input stays at neutral, and can then only be cont-
rolled by a mixer or mixers.
Tip:
It is a good idea to switch all inputs not cur-
rently required to “free”, to eliminate the risk of
operating them accidentally using transmitter
controls which are not meant to be assigned.
b) Operation using external switch:
If you wish to operate the input like a switch mo-
dule, but there are no more actual switch modules
available, an alternative method is to assign an ex-
ternal switch to the input concerned. Using a simp-
le switch (e.g. Order No.
4160 , 4160.1 and others;
see Appendix) you can switch between the two
end-points, e.g. motor ON / OFF.
You can obtain the same effect as with a two-
channel switch module, Order No.
4151 , using a
two-way momentary switch (Order No. 4160.44 ) or
differential switch (Order No. 4160.22 ); see Appen-
dix.
The fi rst step is to select the switch symbol fi eld
and then press the rotary control:
Starting from the centre position of the two-way
switch, assign a switching direction; preferably this
should be the “second” one. For example, if you
wish to switch a function forward in two stages,
i.e. away from you, then start from the centre, mo-
ving the switch toggle away from you. The screen
will now display an additional switch button instead
of the left-hand
SEL fi eld. Move the switch back
to the centre and select the new switch symbol.
Press the rotary control again briefl y, then assign
the other switch direction starting from the centre
position once more.
The screen now displays the switch number, with
a switch symbol which indicates the direction of
operation, e.g.:
Move desired switch
to ON position
(ext. switch: ENTER)
