If there is an excessive amount of time to get from “SWITCHOVER” to “FUEL RAMP” then
the POWERPACK / ECU will need to have the parameters unlocked and the xxx adjusted,
please contact your Jet Central Rep for instructions.
Caution:
The main difference between gas and kerosene start systems is in the case of a failed
ignition; the gas dissipates quickly into the air and is not retained inside the turbine. Kerosene
is liquid and, if unburned, will pool inside the turbine and stay there. The turbine can hold a
large quantity of kerosene internally and this excess kerosene will be ignited on next
successful startup and will be pushed to the exhaust as soon as the airflow inside the turbine
is sufficient. The exhaust will be ignited causing a hot start (in extreme cases a large fireball)
that will not hurt the turbine, but can destroy the model.
2.6 Hand data Terminal (HDT)
The Hand Data Terminal is simple and easy to operate. The HDT is used to read the different
information and to program certain parameters in the
POWERPACK / ECU;
this is a link
between the user and the
POWERPACK / ECU.
Take the necessary time to learn the
operation, as this is the only way the operator can monitor and check that the turbine is
running properly.
Note:
If you leave the HDT connected it uses power from your RX battery.
