15.5 SWITCH - SWITCH TYPE ASSIGNMENT
It is possible to alter the physical position of the switches A …
H; the procedure is described on page 7 of these instructions.
If you make changes to the physical location of the switches
compared to the standard arrangement, you will also need to
adjust the software accordingly, otherwise the on-screen gra-
phical display of switch positions will not be correct.
These adjustments are carried out in this Set-up menu.
Various types of toggle switch, including two-position or three-
position, momentary or latching and combination versions are
available. Push-buttons and rotary controls (pots) can also be
installed instead of the standard items.
A range of special switches with suitable connectors are avai-
lable as optional accessories.
Accessing the Set-up menu
By default the switch display is locked to avoid the danger of
accidentally changing the switch assignment. First press the
“Lock”
button field; it then changes to
“Free”
.

15.6 TRANSMITTER CONTROL SETTINGS / REVERSE
STICK RESPONSE TIME ADJUSTMENT
Set-up menu for hardware reversing of transmitter controls, for
setting the response time of the sticks J1 … J4, and for selec-
ting the stick mode.
Transmitter control reverse (hardware reverse)
This menu provides a means of reversing the transmitter con-
trol hardware, including the primary sticks, rotary knobs, swit-
ches and trim levers. If you carry out a hardware reverse, the
corresponding transmitter control operates in the opposite
direction. This setting does not affect the screen display (per-
centage value / prefix).
We recommend leaving these settings at NORM unless you
have very special requirements. The facility is only intended for
very unusual cases where pilots have become accustomed to
operating particular functions “the wrong way round”,
because it suits their individual flying style.
Stick response time
I
n this menu you can adjust the speed with which the servos
respond to stick movements. The new PCM G3 system is so
fast that many pilots find that they need to familiarise themsel-
ves with it gradually.
Here you can set a response time for each stick separately by
entering a value in the range 1 … 32: the higher the value you
set, the more slowly the stick movements are passed on to the
servos.
You will also find a Hysteresis (dead zone) point in this menu,
which enables you to set a minimum stick movement after
which the change in position is passed on to the servos. You
can set any value in the range 0 … 32.
