Sidus F1Q – free flight electronic timer
5/8
Basic Timer Programming
The motor is started at timer start and has its own stop time.
Each function has its own activation time and is associated to a pattern of servo positions.
During timing the servo position pattern associated to a function will be kept until the
activation of the next function. By "programming" we distinguish two different activities:
timing sequence modification and servo position pattern modification:
Timing sequence modification
Before modifying the timing sequence it must be read from the Timer
•
Press T1 (READ) until the screen for FUNC1 is displayed. Note: If the motor stop time
is shorter than FUNC1, it will be displayed first
1. Freely scroll the display with T3/T4 to show the screens related to the other functions,
motor stop time and DT time. Reach the function to be modified
2. Press T1 pressed until a ‘w’ (write) symbol appears close to the activation time
3. Press T3/T4 to increase/decrease the time of one step or keep T3/T4 pressed to have
faster increments/decrements until reaching the wished value
4. Press T2 (Exit) once and repeat the steps above to modify the time of another
function, or press T2 (Exit) again to exit
5. If one or more time values are modified, they must be written onto the Timer for
permanent storing. Double check that the Timer is still ON, then keep T2 (WRITE)
pressed until the following screen is displayed
After writing the Programmer returns to the main menu.
If the writing fails, it may be repeated with T2 (WRITE) or aborted with T4 (Exit).
To abort modifications without updating the Timer just make the writing fail (write
timing by pointing the Programmer away of the Timer) then choose T4 (Exit).
Unlocking the motor start
For safety reasons and F1Q class rules compliance, after completing a timing sequence
and reaching DT a new motor start is locked. To unlock it through the Programmer (make
sure the Timer in ON and IR sensors are in reciprocal view) press T2 (UNLOCK) pressed
until the following screen is displayed:
