Study the TEMS section thoroughly for start and operation of the auto start feature.
TEMS parameters were factory set but your transmitter needs to be calibrated.
Please review the TEMS section for setup and calibration of your radio.
Check that the system retains the default Ramping Values of 65. We recommend
that you start with a value of 65 or higher on your first few starts then reduce this
value to not lower than 45 if the startup ramping becomes too slow.
From January 1, 2005, AMA requires that all radios used for turbine models must be
equipped with fail safe function. The radio and/or ECU shall at a minimum be
configured to bring the engine to idle, or preferable to shutdown, within 2 seconds of
fail safe activation. Our TEMS can be configured to shutdown the engine within 2
seconds or less after fail safe activation.
Fail Safe Setting:
We suggest that the receiver failsafe position is set with a throttle ATV
value of 125% - 150% for the minimum throttle position then set to 100% for normal
use. For radios that do not have sufficient travel difference between 100% and 150%
ATV, the throttle ATV for normal use can be set to 80% low and high with a fail safe
position set to 150% (low).
In a fail safe situation (exceeding the set F/Safe Time), this will cause the pulse width to
the turbine controller to be smaller than the pulse width for shutdown position which
would cause the turbine to shut off immediately. The TEMS will display "R/C Invalid"
with a star in the #4 position on the GDT display.
Notes:
1. JR and Futaba throttle reversing is different, please check direction carefully.
2. Turbine models are a big investment; please use good quality radios and servos for
your model. If you have any doubts about anything seek expert advice for radio /
turbine installations.
3. We recommend that external Rx antennas such as whip antennas are used for good
reception and to avoid any interference from the installed electronics and
accessories. Another option is to run the antenna outside of the airplane away from
carbon composite materials.
4. Avoid installing the receiver close to the fuel pump as the pump motor can produce
interference to the radio receiver.
5. It is a good practice (also a GTBA requirement) to use a manual or servo operated
fuel shutoff valve as a last resource to shutdown the engine in case of ECU failure.
We recommend and have included the 4mm Festo ball valve. Make sure that you
have good and quick access to the valve.
6. PST TEMS is simple to use but understanding the setup and operation sequence is
critical. Please study this manual carefully.
7. Auto high speed setting is 155,000. If higher rpm is required, users must set the max
163,000 rpm via GDT as discussed earlier.
