Sidus F1B – free flight electronic timer
11/11
Installing the Timer on multiple models
One additional Timer control board with the same RDT code is required to provide another
model with the
Sidus
Sidus
Sidus
Sidus
electronic timer. The RDT code is unique for each modeller to allow
all his Timer control boards to be used with a single Programmer. In addition it makes it
possible to use the
Sidus
Sidus
Sidus
Sidus
system simultaneously with other modellers having the same or
other systems.
Recommendations
Battery and recharge socket
The batteries guarantee about 60 flights of 180 seconds each and about 200 DT’s.
If you are not going to fly the model in a few weeks, just disconnect the Timer
battery and switch the Programmer off.
RDT antenna
The RDT antenna (the thin green twisted steel wire supplied) must come out of the top of
the pylon. It must be electrically insulated from carbon or metal parts through a plastic
spacer. Connect the antenna to the RDT antenna socket placed on the Timer control
board
through the small plug supplied with the system. Failure to follow the above will
result in a poor range of the whole RDT system.
Control board
Place the control board with the IR sensor and the led close to the pylon side to
have them clearly visible through a small transparent window. The control board
must not touch carbon surfaces that get hot under direct sun exposure
