Too low time will not unload the motor, causing high stress and wear; too long time can
move the slider out of “lock” position.
Last adjustable parameter is the “Maximum Motor time”. This is a security parameter
that will power down the motors after a certain operation time (programmable) to
prevent the case that the endpoint is undetected.
Last screen display a counter of operations to track the number of the cycles and
schedule maintenance.
Manual operation
Besides the operation in normal mode (controlled by the radio), there unit offers several
testing options to operate the gear in manual model.
Under “Manual mode” menus, you can deploy or retract the gear, with the possibility of
to stop and resume the movement in any point, plus operate each gear independently
up and down, with the possibility of to stop, reverse and resume the movement in any
point of the travel.
NOTE
: When you leave the manual mode menus, the controller will return to a “RC
mode”, so the gear will move automatically to the currently command received from the
transmitter.
Switch On delay
There is some intelligence build in the controller to prevent unwanted gear operation
when switching on the receiver and power supply. At power up, the controller will wait
during 3 seconds, waiting for the receiver to boot and stabilize the outputs, ignoring any
glitches that it could generate during this time. After these 3 seconds, the controller will
begin to check the RC signal, but will wait to operate the gear until a change on RX
signal is received. Thus, if at “switch on” the gear is down, but the signal received from
the TX is “
gear up
”, the gear will keep down, it will be necessary to place the TX switch
to “gear down” and back to “gear up” to initiate the retraction.
Setup without the Data terminal
There is a LED indicator and a pushbutton to allow setup the unit without the data
terminal. In this case the options are considerably reduced from the full options
available using the data terminal.
Connect the RC channels you want to use (
Gear In
obligatory
,
Brake In
and
Steering In
optional). Set the
Steering In
(Rudder channel) in the position you want that the
steering servo be placed during retraction and gear up position.
