Trainer
The PCM9x transmitter employs two separate types of trainer system - the normal
trainer system where all functions are controlled by either the master transmitter or
the slave and the programmable function trainer where one or more of the four
primary control functions may be assigned to the slave individually.
Basic Connections and Conditions for Training
1.
The slave transmitter must be set to PPM (Pulse Position Modulation) and
have a DSC (Direct Servo Controller) jack. The master transmitter may be
PCM or PPM to suit its receiver.
2. Plug the trainer cord into each transmitter’s DSC jack. Note: Each
transmitter will appear to be “ON” but neither is actually transmitting at the
time.
3. Even though the slave transmitter is switched off, it must be fitted with a
charged battery.
4. Switch the master transmitter ON.
Do not switch on the slave
transmitter
;
it is only necessary to have the master transmitter switched ON.
5.
Push the trainer switch to transfer control to the slave. Release the switch
and control automatically reverts to the master transmitter.
Normal Trainer System
In this mode, all functions are switched from the master to the slave using the
trainer switch. No function setup is necessary to activate this system. Be sure
the slave transmitter’s servo reversing, dual rates, end point adjustment and
trims are identical to the master. This may be checked very easily by pulling
the trainer switch. If the control surfaces move, adjust the slave transmitter
until the trainer switch can be activated without a change to the control surface
position.
Programmable Trainer Function (P.T.F.)
In this mode, the master may assign functions one at a time to make learning
to fly easier for the student. For example, the master may assign the slave
rudder and elevator only. Thus, when the trainer switch is operated, the slave
