Nautic mode / Multiswitch mode
To use the nautic/multiswitch mode it must be activated in the Sound-Teacher under
„Nautic 1“ or ”Nautic 2“.
The nautic/multiswitch mode is probably the most convenient method of operating
the USM-RC-3.
The USM-RC-3 supports following switch modules (and modules compatible with
them):
•
BEIER-Electronic NMS-16-R, NMS-16-G and NMS-24-G
•
BEIER-Electronic EMS-16-R, EMS-16-G and EMS-24-G
•
BEIER-Electronic MSC-8-C, MSC-10-C and MSC-8-C-LCD
•
Graupner Nautic-Expert Modul (Nr. 4108) and Multikanal
•
Robbe Multi-Switch Module (Nr. 8084, 8101, 8413, F1511)
•
Mergen/CP 12-Kanal and 16-Kanal Multiswitch
You can install up to two switch modules in your transmitter to control functions. With
available space they can be built directly into the remote control or into an external
housing (available in our shop).
Proportional channel #3 (X2/3 Nautic/Multiswitch 1) and/or channel #4 (X2/4
Nautic/Multiswitch 2) are connected to the receiver channel with servo patch cables.
Some of the latest remote controls include a “
Software nautic module
”, such as
Multikanal (multichannel) by Graupner. In most of these cases, all switches are
transferred by one channel and no additional hardware switch module is necessary.
Please refer to the operating instructions supplied with your transmitter for further
details.
To each switch position different functions can be assigned in the Sound-Teacher
(see page 76). If the memory function is active, the function is switched on or off
when the switch is operated, and remains in that state until the switch is in the same
position a second time.
With correctly received data from the switch module, the blue LED on the USM-RC-3
always flashes at regular intervals.
Exception: At EMS modules, the LED flashes only as long as a switch is triggered.
If the blue LED is not flashing regularly, or in case the nautic switches do not work at
all, please check the settings at your transmitter. If you are unsure about this, please
read the operating instructions supplied with your transmitter, as they generally
provide information on the settings required for Nautic modules (e.g. servo travel at
maximum).
