. 4.5 Digital Trims Transmitter gimbals are used for controlling the basic flight functions like throttle, roll(aileron), pitch(elevator), and yaw(rudder). Immediately under the transmitter gimbal sticks you can see four push-buttons which are the programmable, digital trim buttons. The digital trims are used for fine trimming of the flying model. When the transmitter is turned off, the trim values are stored in memory and are recalled when the system is turned back on. Every model has its own trim setup. Also all flight modes may be configured to use different trim configurations. By pressing one of the buttons, the screen will automatically change to display the graphic position of that trim. The transmitter trims feature an acoustic step and centre beep alarm. In the Digital trim menu its possible to enable a special function used as automatic trimming. Digital trim steps and trim range setting is explained in Main menu->Fine tuning/flight modes->Digital trim 2. 2. computer radio control system EN
. 4.6 Transmitter Battery Pack The DC-16 transmitter is powered by a Li-Ion type battery pack and comes equipped with its own built-in advanced battery management and charging circuit. In switched-on position, the transmitter LCD display shows the status and condition of the battery pack. The Li-Ion battery is factory installed. 4.6.1. Charging The DC-16 transmitter can be charged with the included wall power supply or through the built-in USB port. For fast charging use the included wall power supply. Charging time is around 3 hours. During the charging process the transmitter can be in switched-on or off position. The charging status is clearly shown by lit red and green LEDs. If the transmitter is switched on during the charging process you can see the charging progress directly on the LCD display. Transmitter Charging:
1. Plug-in the included power supply to a wall outlet. 2. Plug the main charging connector into the transmitter. If the green LED goes out, the transmitter is not fully charged. The red LED indicates the battery charging status.

1. Switch-off the transmitter and remove the 10 screws that 2. Disconnect the transmitter battery connector. 3. secure the radio back cover. Next, remove the radio back cover. Loosen the battery fastening strap and remove the battery. 3 2 Note:
If the transmitter battery has been disconnected for longer than 1 minute; the time, and date will be deleted. Warning:
DC-16 transmitters should only be operated only with original or manufacturer approved battery packs. The use of other battery packs will void the warranty. 2. 2. computer radio control system EN 4.7. PPM Output Connector 4.8. Handling The PPM output is accessible via connector labeled B. This connector features the non-stabilized battery voltage output in the range of 3,2V - 4,2V (max. 1A) which can be used as power supply for the connected HF module as well as for the PPM signal output. The transmitter output functions are in the form of a standard PPM signal. The DC-16 transmitter can be comfortably carried by holding it for the antenna cover/handle as shown on the picture. 3 4 2 1 1. Reserve pin (do not connect) 2. 3. 4. Positive pin Negative pin PPM signal output (3V logics) Warning:
Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, its important to perform a range check. If you are operating a model with a DC-16 transmitter do not shield and avoid contact of the transmitter antenna with your body. 2. 2. computer radio control system EN In the Student mode the DC-16 transmitter communicates via the secondary RF module with the instructors transmitter. If you operate two of the DC-16 transmitters; one of them in the Instructor mode and the other one in the Student mode, the transmitters communicate between each other via the secondary RF transmitter module. With this advanced system NO additional equipment is necessary. Note:
If you are going to operate the DC-16 transmitter in France, your transmitter should be setup for French transmitting mode Main menu -> System ->Configuration -> French mode -> Yes 5 RF Transmitter Modules In order to achieve the highest transmission quality and reliability of the DC-16 transmitter, we have decided to equip the radio with two independent DUPLEX 2,4GHz transmitter modules. The transmitter modules have separate antennas. From the point of transmission they are fully independent from each other. The RF modules of the transmitter can operate in following modes:
Initialmode the primary transmitter RF module is active. The secondary module can act as redundant unit. If the primary module does not receive feedback from the receiver, the transmitter can switch to the secondary transmitter RF module and communicate with the receiver. Dualmode the transmitter RF modules communicate independently from each other with two different receivers. The receivers can be interconnected via an intelligent synthesizer, for instance the JETI Enlink, or the basic control functions can be divided between two independent receivers. In this mode one part of a model can be controlled with one receiver using the first transmitter RF module, the other part of a model with a second receiver and the second RF module. In an instant you have created a dual, redundant flying system with two receivers and two RF modules. Trainermode the secondary RF transmitter module is assigned to communicate with the instructor/student transmitter only. Communication with the model takes place via instructors transmitter only. If the DC-16 transmitter is in the Instructor mode, the primary RF module communicates with the model and the secondary RF module communicates with the students transmitter. 2. 2. computer radio control system EN 6 Transmitter Powering ON/OFF 6.1.

When setting up your spoilerons be sure that the ailerons still have enough travel to control your airplane when the spoilerons are deployed. In this menu the (Sym) F1 button will link or unlink the spoilerons if you need to set them independantly. 7.3.2 Helicopter Lets create a simple model helicopter. In this example, the helicopter is controlled by a swash plate with three servos at 120 orientation and the motor has no governor. Servo assignment for the receiver channels:
1. Throttle 2. Elevator (Swash 1F) 3. Collective (Swash 2L) 4. Aileron (Swash 3R) 5. Rudder (Yaw) 6. Gyro(Gyro sens.) Before you begin creating a model make sure that you have set-up the correct transmitter mode in Main menu -> System ->
Configuration -> MODE 1-4. The basic, standardized, assignment of transmitter inputs to flight controls are based upon this selection. First it is necessary to first create a model in the transmitter and then bind the DC-16 transmitter with the receiver which will control the given model. See chapter 8.4: Receiver->Binding. Notice:
For safety reasons we strongly recommend removing the main/tail blades or disconnecting the motor when working with an electric helicopter. EN 1. Switch-on the transmitter.

See chapter 8.4: Receiver-
>Binding. 10. Once your transmitter has been bound with a receiver and has been connected to its power supply, the last step consists of tuning the servo output functions, see chapter 7.3.4: Setup of receiver outputs. In the Fine tuning -> Flight modes menu you will setup these advanced model control functions for your helicopter:
Collective pitch curve, see: Fine tuning -> Flight Modes->Function Curves Throttle curve, see: Fine tuning -> Flight Modes->Function Curves Dual rates, see: Fine tuning -> Flight Modes -> Dual Rate/Expo Autorotation, see: Fine tuning -> Flight Modes Gyro/Governor see: Fine tuning -> flight modes -> Gyro/Governor 3. 3. computer radio control system 7.3.3 General The DC-16 transmitter is not only equipped with the assistants for airplanes or helicopters, but it also has a General assistant which can be used to create just about any other type of model. If your model cannot be assigned to the category of an airplane or helicopter, select the general model. The following setup describes the creation of a boat model. This process could also be used to create a profile for any other land/water/air model craft. In this example, the model is controlled by basic functions like throttle and rudder as well as by extended functions like a motor sound generator, lighting system, siren and a smoke generator. The first three above mentioned functions are controlled proportionally and the rest are non proportional. Servo assignment to receiver channels:
1. Motor 2. Rudder 3. Motor Sound Module 4. Lighting System 5. Siren Sound Module 6. Smoke Module Before creating a model make sure that you have setup the correct transmitter mode in Main menu -> System -> Configuration ->
MODE 1-4. The basic, standardized, assignment of transmitter inputs to flight controls are based upon this selection. First it is necessary to first create a model in the transmitter and then bind the DC-16 transmitter with the receiver which will control the given model, see chapter 8.4: Receiver->Binding. EN 1. Switch-on the transmitter. In the main display push the key menu. Select the item Model and push the 3D button. 2. Select the item New model and push the 3D button. 3. Enter the name of your model and press F5(OK) (Note: you must enter a model name to proceed.) Then select the model type General. Confirm by pushing the F5(Next) button. 4. The first item in the Basic Properties menu is the number of motors in the model. In this example, this item will not be edited and we will proceed to the second item, which is how the motor needs to be controlled i.e. whether the motor turns only one direction (Single) or both directions (double). Edit the item Motor type by selecting Double direction. Press the F5(Next) button to confirm. 3. 3. computer radio control system 5. In the Function Assignment menu use the F3(Add) button to create all of your desired functions. Then you can assign transmitter control switches/sticks to the functions by editing each functions Control item, see chapter: Select control input. The only exception is the motor sound module function, which you cannot simply assign to a control switch/stick, because it wil be controlled by a mixer. The mixer will allow the motor sound will be played proportionally to the motor speed. For the siren function you may take advantage of the switch Sa
(spring-loaded switch). After you create of all of your desired functions press the F5(Next) button to confirm. 6. The Servo assignment menu displays the receiver channels and their transmitter output assignments. The channels are assigned in the order that you created the functions in the previous menu. If you want to change any of the output assignments, select the channel you want to edit and reassign its output. Otherways press F5(Next) to confirm 7. The screen will display a question which asks if you really want to create and activate the new model. Press the F5(Yes) button to confirm. EN 8. The Servo Setup menu is where you can set all of your servo neutral positions, servo output throw limits, servo reversing, delay etc. You should return to this menu after you have bound your receiver and transmitter. See the chapter 8.4: Receiver-
>Binding. Once your transmitter has been bound with a receiver and has been connected to its power supply, the last step consists of tuning the servo output functions, see chapter 7.3.4:
Setup of receiver outputs. To complete this model we just need to configure a free mixer from the throttle function to the motor sound module. In this example we will set a switch to enable/disable the mixer so that when the switch is on the motor sound module is controlled with the throttle
(motor speed). Go to the Fine tuning -> Free mixers menu. a). Use the F2(Add) button to create a new mixer. Select Engine in the From item. Then select Sound M (the name of the sound function) in the To item. The item Master Value represents the amount of mixing from the input function to the output function for this mixer. With the F5(Next) button you will create the mixer and the display will change to show the overview of your programmed free mixers. 3. 3. computer radio control system EN Note:
You should Mechanically adjust all of your servo arms and servo linkages to be as close to neutral or center as as possible so that you will need as little subtrim as possible. Using large amounts of subtrim can limit the overall throw of your servo. Max/Min. limit sets the absolute maximum servo output throw Use these to limit the maximum range of servo throw in order to keep your servos from exceeding their mechanical limits or to keep your servos from binding when moving their arms or linkages to their full travel. You should use the dual rate function to set your models useable control throws. b). To assign a switch for the activation and deactivation of the free mixer press the F4(Edit) button. Select and edit the Switch item to assign a switch/stick to enable/disable the mixer. 7.3.4 Set-up of Receiver Outputs Go to the Model->Servo Setup menu. Use the F2 and F3 buttons to brows through the receiver outputs (channels). You can scrol through the following servo adustment items for each channel:
Servo reversing reverses the servo throw direction. Move the stick for your selected channel and observe the direction of the servo movement. If the servo moves in the opposite of your desired direction, change the direction by editing the Reverse item for that particular servo. Continue with each channel until all of the servos travel in the required directions. Center (Subtrim)- adjusts the center position of each servos output. With your sticks in their neutral positions, scroll through each servos page and use the Center (Subtrim) item to correctly set all of your servos center or neutral positions. 3. 3.

-106 1. The R9 receiver has 9 channels (numbered 1-9). This receiver uses the universal or JR Type servo connectors. 2. Bat - receiver and servo power supply input. Whenever possible, always supply power to your receiver using more than one of these inputs. You can either supply power through the use of a Y-
cable or through any unused receiver channel connection. To power the receiver you may use NiCd packs, the BEC from your ESC or Li-xx cells used with a voltage regulator, such as the JETIMAX BEC or similar. 3. SAT - auxillary input/output for PPM signals. This input allows you to connect an additional JETI DUPLEX Rsat2 satellite receiver. This allows you to increase the number of receiver antennas in your system for increased reliabilty in installations with shielded or badly oriented antennas. 4. EXT - input for telemetry sensors. If you want to connect more than one telemetry sensor then use the JETI EXPANDER E4. You can daisy-chain several of the E4 Expanders to support many, many sensors. 5. A1/A2 - receiver antennas. The antennas should be installed so that the wires form a 90 angle relative to each other. 3. 3. computer radio control system EN 8.3. Installation Whenever possible, you should wrap the receiver in foam and place it as far as possible from sources of interference (servos, electric motors). Arrange the receiver antennas so that their active ends form a 90 angle and try to put them as far as possible away from each other. Take care not to bend them with a radius smaller than 1 cm. The active part of the antenna should not be placed close to metal parts. If your model has a carbon fuselage it is very important to place the active antenna ends outside the fuselage. 8.4. Binding In order to achieve communication between transmitter and receiver you must bind them. During this process the transmitter learns the receiver address and will automatically find it again when switched back on. Communication begins with this receiver automatically if the transmitter is not already communicating with another receiver. The binding process needs only to be done once for each receiver. Procedure:
1. Switch off the transmitter and receiver. 2. Plug the BIND PLUG into the EXT receiver input. 3. Connect receiver power supply. 4. Switch on the transmitter. The receiver will bind with the primary transmitter module. 8.5. Range Test The range test will verify that the transmitter and receiver are functioning properly. Before the first flight of each flying session or if have any doubts about the transmitter or receiver function you should always check the range. During the range test the transmitters output power is decreased to 10%. When performing a range test, both the model and the transmitter should be at a minimum height of 80 cm (31.5) above the ground. A correctly functioning transmitter and receiver in range test mode should safely control a model to a minimum distance of 50m (164). If not, check your models antenna installation first. If the test is still not successful dont fly the equipment and contact your retail shop or one of the Jeti authorized service centers. 8.6. Fail safe All Duplex 2,4GHz system receivers are equipped with fail safe, a function which reacts to control signal transmission interruptions. When your receiver for any reason does not receive transmitter information it changes, after a pre-set time period, to one of the following modes. Repeat This mode holds the last valid control throw signal ( this is the default mode for all receivers) Out off There is no output signal provided by the receiver, i. e. servos do not keep their positions Failsafe receiver outputs change to preset positions 3. 3. computer radio control system EN Bind receiver with transmitter. See chapter: 8.4 Binding. Leave Each receiver channel can be configured to one of the modes described above. We recommend that you setup fail safe positions for every output which enables your model to stay in a stable condition. For instance, the elevator and rudder in neutral positions, electric motor switched-off, gas engine idling, spoilers extended. Configuration Method of the receiver failsafe function. 1. receiver and transmitter in switched-on condition. 2. In the transmitter, go to the menu System->Jetibox and proceed according to picture. Use the F1-F4 function buttons to move within the menu. 3. In the Set Output Pin menu select the receiver output which you want to configure (use the left/right buttons) and proceed (by using the down-button). 4. In the Signak Fault Yn menu where n denotes the channel number which has to be configured, use the right-button to edit the output function showing a signal failure (set-up fail safe). You have now activated the fail safe function on receiver channel output n. 5. The fail safe is adjusted by pressing the down-button and changing to the fail safe menu. With the left/right buttons edit the fail safe value in a range of 0,8ms to 2,2 ms. Adjust all of the connected receiver outputs by repeating steps 3-5. The last parameter to be set up is the elapsed time after signal failure when the fail safe or other actions after signal failure will be initiated. In the SignalFault Delay menu you can define the length of time after a signal fault occurrs in which the preset throws are applied. The values in this menu are changed by pressing the left/right.buttons. e p y T r e v i e c e R X E 9 R x e l p u D 3. 3. computer radio control system EN 9 Main menu The main menu is divided into a basic and a user section.

Model selection In the list of models, select the required model and confirm it by pressing the 3D button or F1(Ok) button. You will be prompted to confirm loading of the selected model. The DC-16 transmitter offers a Model checking function, which compares the series number of the receiver in the model profile with the series number of the receiver with which it is starting to communicate. If the two series numbers do not match, the transmitter displays a warning that a different receiver has been detected for the model. In this situation, you the user, will decide whether to:
model. Reject the change the transmitter will not communicate with the newly detected receiver and model will not be switched on. Select another model from the transmitter register. The information about receiver discrepancies will also be displayed after the creation of a new model and binding or establishing communication with the receiver. Through the use of this function, if you choose, the new receiver will be assigned to the given model for future checks. 2. Copying a model The complete setup information of a model can be copied and used to create a new model with the same programming.

The transmitter allows storing of many models in the memory. 9.1.2 New Model Selecting this menu item starts the new model creation assistant. The assistant begins creating a new model profile as soon as you select, New model. Howerver, the new model will only be created after the confirmation in the last assistant menu, Servo Assignment. Until you make the final confirmation the new model is NOT created or stored in the memory. The setup possibilities of the DC-16 transmitter are very extensive. For simplicity, some of the possible adjustments are accessible only for certain combinations of wing and tail arrangements, aerodynamic brakes, landing gears and number of motors or engines. Notice:
For safety, start creating a model with the receiver in the model switched-off. Be careful when handling electric models or servo binding, where an improper linkage connection may cause damage when power is applied. When handling electric models it is safer to remove the propeller or disconnect the motor during model creation and tuning. Note:

Refer to your helicopters manual if necessary. 3 servos (default 120) the swash plate controls the elevator, aileron and collective pitch functions by coodinating three servos. In the swash plate configuration, the servo control points can be shifted closer to or farther away from each other around the main shaft axis in 1 increments to help eliminate any unwanted swashplate movement. You will also use this setting if your heli requires a swash plate configuration of 3 servos (140) or 3 servos
(90). Within this menu you can also change the effective swash plate servo lever lengths to compensate for any nonlinear servo arm travel. 4 servos (90) - the swash plate controls the elevator, roll and collective pitch functions by coodinating four servos in 90 orientation. You can make the same changes to this type as with the swash plate described above. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN Governor In some helicopter setups a governor function is used for motor control this allows the motor to run at a constant speed independantly from any collective pitch. If your model helicopter setup includes a governor which can be controlled through the receiver then switch on this function. once you enable this function, the governor configuration becomes accessible in the Fine tuning/Gyro/Governor menu. 9.1.5 Swash mix Here is where you set up the swashplate CCMP (=Cyclic/collective pitch mixing) throws for Aileron, Elevator and Pitch. You can fine tune each of these functions by changing their percentages. If needed, you can reverse the throws by setting a negative percentage. Mechanical - this swash plate type uses a single servo for each flight function. This is the swash plate type to select if you are using a flybarless controller. Reverse swash plate orientation by 180 The Front servo position item is accessible only for the swash plate type 3 servos (default 120). If your helicopter requires, it is possible with a single button to turn the swash plate configuration in the setup by 180.

If you answer by pressing the F1(No) button, the model will not be saved and you will return to the assistant to continue with further configuration of your model. If you press the F5(Yes) button, the model will be stored in the memory and at the same time will be activated. After that, you are automatically taken to the Servo Setup menu. Your stored model can, of course, at any time be configured by selecting the Main menu->Model> Servo Setup menu. Advice:
Once your model is created and activated you should bind your receiver with the transmitter and then proceed with Servo Setup. 9.1.9 Servo Setup This menu is for the additional tuning of output functions of the transmitter->receiver channels->servos. The assignment of a transmitter output function to a receiver channel is shown in the upper part of the menu (first item below the menu description). Selection of Receiver Channel 1. Display of a Receiver Channel Throw In the upper part of the menu the actual throw of the selected channel is displayed using a live graphic. If you make a change to your setup in this menu, you will immediately see how the output will be influenced by the change. 2. In the first position F1 in the lower bar you see the actual selected channel. With the F2() or F3()buttons or by editing the item Servo
# you will select the receiver channel which you intend to configure. 3. With this item you can adjust the servo neutral position of the selected receiver channel. Center (Subtrim) 4. 4. computer radio control system EN Servo Reversing 6. Use this item to reverse the direction of a servos travel. 7. Delay of positive/negative This item allows you to delay the servo channels travel time between both end points. This can be defined for the positive and for the negative value (each travel direction). For instance, the opening of a landing gear can be slower, than when it retracts. Advice:
This function is great for timing retract gear servos. Advice:
When building a model try to mechanically adjust the neutral positions as perfectly as possible. If you are going to use a high Center (Subtrim) value in order to set-up a servo neutral, the resulting servo throw will be restricted. 4. Max Positive/Max Negative Throw This item sets the useable end points of the transmitter output function, i.e. how far the transmitter control element can move each surface. This functon is used to set your maximum control throws for flight and to limit any potential binding of a linkage or surface. This limit can be exceeded by the use of mixes or combined functions. Note:
The size of the maximum throw can influence trim settings, dual rate throws and other proportional setups. 5. Max Positive/Max Negative Limit These restrict the absolute throw of the receiver channel output. This limit can never be exceeded by any combination of functions or mixes. Advice:
You can adjust the throw limit to prevent a surface or linkage from hitting a mechanical stop or to prevent the servo from over-driving its mechanical throw range. This allows you to prevent mechanical servo damage. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN 0FLAP2AIL and higher) 9.2. Fine Tuning 9.2. Fine Tuning

Gyro/Governor (Helicopters only) Throttle Limiter(Helicopters only) 9.2.1 Flight Modes The purpose of programming Flight Modes is to provide the ability to activate a group of settings that will optimize your flight control of your model. Flight Modes can just as easily represent settings for Take Off, Soaring, Landing and much more. They can be used in any particular situation where different settings of basic flight parameters is desirable. The DC-16 gives you the advantage of a wide variety of programing options. Elevon/Delta) higher) Up to 10 different flight modes are available for every single model. Each one of these flight modes can be named differently for instant recognition. Only one of the flight modes can be active at any given time. With a little practice you will discover that creating your flight modes in logical order can prevent confusion in a critical situation. Flight mode control can be assigned to any of the switches, sticks, or knobs of the transmitter. Flight Mode Configuration Some of the configuration settings come in two options. G-
global (globe symbol) and S-Separate. Switching from G to S, system let you set up each flight mode individually. Warning:
When you switch from Global to Separate settings; all values will be copied directly to existing flight modes. If the flight mode configuration is set to S, each flight modes values can be set independently from the other flight modes. When you switch to different flight modes the pre-set position of an output
(a control surface, for example) can be changed to optimize the control system of your model. Also, if the flight mode configuration is set to S, different variables for each function can be assigned to each flight mode. The assigned control switch can control multiple values within each flight mode. settings for all future models. After creating a flight mode, this will become system wide 4. 4. computer radio control system EN Advice:
If no flight mode is required, do not change the pre-set configuration. 2 1 3 Adding Flight Modes 1. Pressing the F3 (Add) button creates a new flight mode. Simply highlight existing mode and press F3 (New) button. A copy confirmation menu appears on the screen, use the function keys to continue. Press the F5 (Yes) button to create copy of the existing flight mode. Press theF3 (No) button to create a new flight mode. Press theF1 (Esc) button to be taken to main flight mode menu screen. 2. Naming Flight Modes We recommend naming flight modes according to their function, for example: Take Off, Soaring, Autorotation. Flight mode names/labels can be easily edited at any time. 3. Flight Mode Delays The time delay function can help smooth the transition from one flight control state to another. Sudden changes in the positions of your control surfaces can negatively affect performance or even create a critical situation. The Time delay can help you avoid this situation. Advice:
If the desired result is not already tested or fully known
(maiden flight), always make sure that you have set enough time delay for all of the changes to be implemented and that you have plenty of time to properly respond. Warning:
Throttle hold is not affected by the time delay. This function will always be performed instantly. 4. Flight Mode Activation A flight mode can be activated by any control device
(Switch/Knob/Stick). When you select a switch and by editing its desired assignment you can activate and pick the position at which this Switch/Knob/Stick or Logical Switch will turn flight mode ON or OFF (see chapter 9.7). You can use the visual indicator in the switch 4. 4. computer radio control system EN column to help you determinate the ON or OFF switch position for each flight mode. When the flight mode is activated the flight mode name can be seen the top of the desktop screen. Check Mark ON Position X Mark OFF Position Name of the current flight mode. 5 4 6 7 8 6.

If you have created multiple flight modes that can match a given flight condition but that vary in their specific details (Landing in strong or light wind). You can create the order in which those modes can be turned on. The Numeric order will determine your priorities. A lower number equals a higher mode priority. The initial flight mode has always the lowest priority. Highlight the desired flight mode and press the F4 (Opt.) To delete a flight mode:
a) button to see the options menu. b) F5 (OK) button to make the final confirmation. The initial flight mode is set as a default and can not be deleted. Scroll and select the Delete flight mode option and press the 8. Flight Mode Reset All of the flight modes can be reset to basic settings at the same time. Simply highlight any flight mode and press the F4 (Opt.) button then use the Reset all flight modes option to reset all flight modes to their basic settings. All previous changes will be deleted and the flight modes will be reset to the G (Global) setting. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN This is useful when you are setting up a new model from a copied model and you want different flight modes. Advice:
After you make a configuration change or perform a reset, always check all flight modes. 9.2.2 Digital trim Fully programmable digital trims are located right under transmitter gimbals as a set of four directional buttons. All adjustments and step changes are made in the Digital Trim menu. You can assign different trim ranges and trim steps to every trim control function. The F3 (Trim) button switches your desktop display to the main trim screen where you can instantly observe your setup changes. 1 3 2 1. Digital Trim Programmable Steps Trim step changes are made in the Step menu column, a larger percentage number equals more movement with each press of the trim button. Advice:
For a maiden flight we recommend using larger trim steps. After familiarizing yourself with your models behavior you can switch to smaller steps for finer trimming. 2. Trim Range Trim range changes are made in theRate menu columns which show the trims percentage of possible travel. Both negative and positive travel can be adjusted individually. 3. Global or Separate Trim Setting The trim configuration for all main functions can be set collectively for all flight modes by keeping the G (globe symbol) setting or they can be set in each flight mode individually by selecting the S-
Separate setting. 9.2.3 Flight Mode Trims This menu allows you to set the function output position (if needed) for each flight mode individually. For example: if your elevator needs to be raised in one of your flight modes but not the others. Each function output can be set either globally or separately. 1. Servo Position A transmitter output channel can be assigned to more than one receiver output channel if needed. Adjusting the values in the individual columns marked S1-S4 will change the position of the servo (surface) for each output function. The servo position is displayed as a percentage of the total servo travel. Pressing the F3 (Clr) button resets the highlighted lines travel values to 0%. 4. 4. computer radio control system Pressing the F1 (Sym.) turns ON/OFF the lock which allows each output to be adjusted either together (symmetrically), or independantly. 2.

You can choose one of the pre-programmed 3-9 point ones or select any of custom symmetrical curves. You can edit a function curve from inside the graphic interface by moving the displayed control points. All of the points can be moved in both horizontal and vertical directions. Using the 3D Control or the F3 and F4 buttons you can move the curve points in a vertical direction and in a horizontal direction by using the F1 and F2 buttons. By pressing the 3D Control button you can switch between the individual curve points. Pressing the Esc function will return you to the previous control point. On the left side of the graphic interface you will see the percentage representation of your selected control points position. In and Out percentage numbers represent actual input and output position of a given control point. Function Curve Delay 2. The time delay function can help smooth the transition from one state to another. The function of the Delay is to slow down the movement of a control surface in relationship to the position of the stick. Example: a negative number - slows movement of the rudder from moving right to left, a positive + number slows rudder movement from left to right. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN 3. Global or Separate Function Curve Setting The function curve configuration for all channels can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the G-Global (globe) symbol or you can set individual function curve settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the S-Separate symbol. 9.2.6 Aileron Differential The aileron differential function reduces the downward travel of the aileron(s) to help eleminate any adverse yaw tendencies in rolling maneuvers. Semi-Symmetrical airfoils with an aileron in the down position induce higher drag than when the aileron is in the up position. Therefore, the aileron travel up and down has to be set differently. The number of aileron servos displayed depends upon the selected wing type of your airplane; the maximum number is four S1-S4. 1. Aileron Differential Global or Separate Setting The aileron differential for all channels can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the G-Global (globe) symbol or you can allow individual aileron differential settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the S-Separate symbol. 2. Aileron Differential Setting All of the ailerons can have different travel ranges. The different adjustments are displayed in columns marked S1-S4. The number of servos in use is equal to the number of displayed setup columns. The travel range for each servo can be set. Scroll and highlight either the Up or Down menu line with 3D Control button. Press the 3D Control button to access and edit the settings for each servo. If 4. 4. computer radio control system EN Tuning of Aileron Differential the servos need to be adjusted independantly, use the F1 (Sym.) button to unlock the servo travel for adjusting the individual values in the selected menu line. 3. You can now assign a proportional control and the adjustment rate. When moving the control, the differential rates are updated accordingly: up-rate is increased and the down-rate is decreased depending on the adjustment rate and position of the control. In the picture the real differential rates are enclosed in parenthesis. The F(3) Apply button clears the adjustment rate and stores the real differential values into the editable fields so that the control no longer has any influence. 9.2.7 Ailevator Function The ailevator function uses two servos for the elevator channel. Both sides can be programmed to be controlled independently. With ailevator function both servos can be mixed together with ailerons and work in sync for better roll control. The Ailevator mix has to be activated by choosing the Ailevator2H1V tail setting. Unless you have previously chosen a different percentage for one of the tail mixes, the initial settings for Ailevator function are 50% of the elevator and aileron travels. 1. Ailevator Global or Separate Setting The Ailevator configuration for both channels can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the G (globe) symbol or you can set individual Ailevator settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the S-Separate symbol. 2. Ailevator Setting Ailevator configuration has four different adjustable parameters. The lines marked Elevator and Aileron contain two columns S1 and S2 which represent the elevator and aileron surface throws as a percentage. Scroll and highlight the lines marked as Elevator or Aileron with the 3D Control button and press the 3D Control button to access the individual setting of each servo. If the servos need to be adjusted independantly, use the F1 (Sym.) button to unlock the servo travel for adjusting the individual values in the selected menu line. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN 9.2.8 V-Tail Mix If your model is equipped with a V-Tail, The two basic tail functions
(rudder and elevator) are mixed to control the tail of the airplane. The V-Tail mix has to be activated by choosing the V-Tail 2H tail setting. Unless you have previously chosen a different percentage for one of the tail mixes, the initial settings for V-Tail function are 50% of the rudder and elevator travels. 9.2.9 Delta/Elevon Mix The Delta/Elevon Mix uses two servos for the control of both the elevator and aileron functions. This mix is most commonly used for Delta type aircraft. The elevon mix has to be activated by choosing the None Elevon/Delta tail setting. Unless you have previously chosen a different percentage for one of the tail mixes, the default settings for the Delta/Elevon function are 50% of the aileron and elevator travels. 1. V-Tail Global or Separate Setting The V-Tail configuration for both channels can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the G (globe) symbol or you can set individual V-Tail settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the S-Separate symbol. 2. V-Tail Setting The V-Tail configuration has four different adjustable parameters. The lines marked Elevator and Rudder contain two columns S1 and S2 which represent the elevator and aileron surface throws as a percentage. Scroll and highlight the lines marked as Elevator or Rudder with the 3D Control button and press the 3D Control button to access the individual setting of each servo. If the servos need to be adjusted independantly, use the F1 (Sym.) button to unlock the servo travel for adjusting the individual values in the selected menu line. 1.

If the servos need to be adjusted independantly, use the F1 (Sym.) button to unlock the servo travel for adjusting the individual values in the selected menu line. 9.2.10 Butterfly Mix (Crow Mix) The basic configuration of the butterfly mix (also known as crow) is created by using ailerons, flaps, and elevator flying surfaces. The Butterfly/Crow mix is helpful for maintaining speed during fast descends and creating controlled drag for spot landings. 1. Butterfly/Crow Activation The Butterfly mix can be activated by any control element
(Switch/Knob/Stick). By selecting the switch and by editing the desired assignment you can activate and select the position at which this Switch/Knob/Stick or Logical Switch will turn the Butterfly mix ON or OFF. This menu line includes a visual graphic to show the ON or OFF position of your selected switch. 2. Butterfly/Crow Delay The time delay function can help smooth the transition from one state to another. Function of the Delay is to slow down the movement of the control surfaces during the change. Increasing the number on the positive side + slows the deployment while increasing the number on the negative side - slows return of the surfaces to their original positions. 3. Butterfly/Crow Global or Separate Setting The Butterfly/Crow mix configuration settings can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the G-(globe) symbol or you can allow individual aileron differential settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the S-Separate symbol. 4. Butterfly/Offset Due to the request of many sailplane pilots this function was updated. Now expanded to four screens, there are several added options in this menu. a. You can set an offset to the butterfly control so that there will be a specified dead zone at the beginning of the control sticks travel. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN Actual values of airbrake rates. T h e v a l u e s shown depend on adjustments m a d e i n Butterfly Tuning m e n u (see below). b. Ailerons/Flaps Adjustment In the Ailerons/Flaps Adjustment menu you can set all the travel needed for butterfly braking (for the flaps and ailerons). Also, you can set a parameter called Diff. adjust which influences the aileron differential. Positive values increase the upper travel of the aileron servos, negative values increase the lower travel of the aileron servos. d. Butterfly Tuning menu Screen of the Butterfly menu allows you to fine tune all braking travels through one proportional control (stick, knob or switch). The values you set in this screen are added/subtracted to the appropriate butterfly travels. The way these values influence servo deflections depends on the position of the butterfly's control stick and the position of the butterfly's Tuning control. The F(3)Apply button operates similarly as in the Aileron Differential menu. If you press this button, the values set in the Butterfly Tuning menu are copied into the appropriate travels in the Butterfly Ailerons/Flaps/Elevator Adjustment menu. After that, all values in the Butterfly Tuning menu are initially set to zero (so that the tuning control no longer has an effect). c. Elevator compensation The butterfly mixing is always from zero to the full stick position so the curve is a little bit modified to control the whole travel range. You can choose between a standard curve, constant and X-point curve types. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN 9.2.11 Free Mixes The Free (programmable) mixes are used to make a second or slave channel react as a result of the original channels input or by moving any Switch, Knob or Stick. Any of the channels can be (Freely) mixed with any other function, assignment or logical switch. Up to 20 free mixes can be programmed for any given model. The primary channel (Master/From) specifies the control or input function, while the channel that reacts to the Master is called the Slave/To channel. The Master Value represents the percentage of slave channel travel output performed when the Master channel function is used. 1. Copying a Free Mix Highlight an existing free mix and use the F1 (Copy) button to create a copy of the existing mix. 2. Creating a Free Mix Use the F2 (Add) button to create a new free mix. The Primary channel called Master/From specifies the input function, while the channel that reacts to the Master is called the Slave/To channel. The last variable on the screen is the Master Value which represents the percentage of the slave channels mix/travel. After your models basic configuration is finished, use the F5 (Next) button to exit the free mix screen. If you need to make any changes simply highlight the desired free mix and press the F4 (Edit) button to reach the advanced settings menu for that free mix. a). Free Mix Setting The free mix configuration settings can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the G-(globe) symbol or you can allow individual free mix settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the S-Separate symbol. b) Free Mix Activation A free mix can be activated by any Switch/Knob/Stick. By selecting Switch and by editing the desired assignment you can activate and choose the position at which this Switch/Knob/Stick or Logical Switch will turn the mix ON or OFF or even control its throw proportionally. This menu line includes a visual graphic to show the ON or OFF position of your selected switch. If you do not select any switch then the mix is always ON. c) Free Mix Curve Programming This programming screen can be accessed by highlighting the Curve item and by either using the 3D Control button or by pressing the F4 (Curve) button. By accessing the Mixer Curve function screen you can select the mix curve which best fits your application. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN d a b c e h i j d) Free Mix Deployment Delay The time delay function can help smooth the transition from one state to another. Values adjusted in the Source item will slow down full mix deployment when the mix is ON (switched ON or always ON) and the master channel master channel changes its value. In this item, when you add a delay to only one side (- or +), the mix deployment will be slow in one direction only (-100% to 100%) or (100% to -100%). When you add a delay to both the negative (-) and the positive (+) sides then your mix will be slowed in both throw directions. e) Free Mix Activation/Deactivation Delay The Switch values can only used when you have assigned a switch to turn the mix ON and OFF. This delay operates independently from the Source values. The positive side of a delay is applied if the mix is activated using Activation Switch. The negative side is used if the mix is deactivated and both slow down any fast reactions while turning the mix ON and OFF. f) Free Mix Multiple Servo Settings If the mix uses more than one output function as the slave then the Output Mix menu will appear. This menu allows you to edit the settings for the individual slave servos (S1-S4). g) Free Mix Directional Positive/Negative Movements Once the free mix function is created you can edit the advanced settings menu so that the mix will either add to or reduce a slave functions movement. To do this, you can set the mix value as a positive percentage or a negative percentage. h) Using Another Free Mix to control a Free Mix A free mix can be controlled by just a control input function (Master) or it can also be controlled by another free mixs control function
(Slave). Here is how to create a free mix whos input is controlled by an existing free mixer output:
To allow a free mix to control another free mix you must enable the Slave Link option. This allows the free mix to act as input for other free mixes. Use the 3D button to highlight and select this option. You will see a check mark if the option is enabled and an X if it is disabled. You will also use the (+) or (-) to determine the mix direction. To allow a free mix to be controlled by another mix you must enable the Master Link option. This allows the free mix to accept the input from other free mixes. Use the 3D button to highlight and select this option. You will see a check mark if the option is enabled and an X if it is disabled. You will also use the (+) or (-) to determine the mix direction. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN Free Mix Trim Settings Free Mix Control by Dual Rates i) This item allows you to enable or disable whether trim functions will influence the free mix or not. j) With this item you can activate or deactivate the Slave Dual-Rate function for the free mix. This settings allows the slave output to be affected by dual rate inputs. All adjustments can be visually inspected right away in the servo monitor page by pressing the F2
(Servo) button. Pressing the F5 (Ok) button returns you back to free mix screen. 3. Deleting a Free Mix Press the F3 (Del) button to delete the highlighted free mix. 4. Configuration & Setting A free mix programming screen can be accessed by highlighting the selected mix and then pressing the F4 (Edit) button. 9.2.12 Governor/Gyro Typically, a gyro is used to stablize a model helicopter along its vertical axis (rudder). One channel is reserved so that you may adjust the gyro sensitivity (gain) from the transmitter. Also, a separate channel can be reserved for the control of a throttle governor. The governor can be enabled when you create the model or later from the Model >Basic Properties menu. This menu allows you to adjust the settings for both of these output channels. The Governor/Gyro settings can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the G-(globe) symbol or you can allow individual Governor/Gyro settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the S-Separate symbol. 1. Gyro Settings By default, the gyro sensitivity is assigned to the three position Si switch. This allows you to have three different settings (Position 1, Position 2, Position 3) for the gyro sensitivity. You can always assign this function to a different transmitter control element (knob, slider, switch) in the Model, >Function Assignment menu. The Gyro settings can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the G-(globe) symbol or you can allow individual Gyro settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the S-Separate symbol. 2. Governor Settings If you have the governor function enabled, by default, the governor sensitivity is assigned to the three position Sg switch. This allows you to have three different settings (Position 1, Position 2, Position 3) for the governor sensitivity. You can always assign this function to a different transmitter control element (knob, slider, switch) in the Model, >Function Assignment menu. The governor settings can be set collectively for all flight modes by selecting the G-(globe) symbol or you can allow individual governor settings in each separate flight mode by sellecting the S-Separate symbol. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN The throttle limiter also influences mixes where the throttle acts as the source. The trim function is not influenced by the throttle limiter. If a control device is not assigned, the throttle limiter function is disabled. 9.2.13 Throttle Limiter If you have several flight modes and all of them have specific throttle curves, the Throttle Limiter might help you to get the motor's RPM safely from the lowest to the maximum RPM that is controlled by your throttle curve. You are free to choose any control device (proportional or a switch) that will operate as a speed limiter. It doesn't allow the throttle to go any higher than the position that this control shows. The limiter operates within a specified range (negative and positive rate, - Rate
+). Using the - rate you can set the lowest motor RPM you want to use. This is the point where the limiter begins its operation. The +
rate represents the maximum possible output of your throttle channel. If your application needs full throttle, you should set the
+ rate to a value higher than 100% so that the full throttle output is not limited. It is possible to set some delay for this control (if it is assigned to a switch) so that the motor goes smoothly from low to high RPM (and vice versa). Finally, the Exponential parameter enables you to fine-
tune the output at lower RPM and the whole acceleration curve. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN 9.3. Advanced Properties Advanced programming menu for DC/DS-16. 9.3.1 Other Model Options This menu contains additional, special features of the DC/DS-16 transmitters. 1 3 5 4. 2 4 1. Auto-Trim Function Auto-Trim function can be activated using any assigned switch, knob or stick. Once this function has been activated you can trim your model using transmitter gimbals. The direction and speed of the trim adjustment is determined by stick movement. Larger stick movements equal a faster trim response. When the Auto-Trim function is active, the transmitter gimbals do not change their standard response. The transmitter is still in normal operation mode. Advice:
It is advised to use the automatic trim function only for the maiden flight, after proper trimming is done we recommend disabling this function. 2. Trainer Function The Trainer function can be set so that it may be activated using any assigned switch, knob or stick. 3. Telemetry Recording The Telemetry recording function can be set so that it may be activated using any assigned switch, knob or stick. The data stream is recorded on the internal SD memory card. All data can be found in the Log directory of the transmitter software after connecting the Tx to the PC via a USB port. Active data recording is indicated on the upper edge of the main desktop screen by a blinking circle. A solid square graphic indicates that recording is stopped. 4. Throttle Cut Setting This safety feature is mainly for models using glow or gasoline engines as their main source of power. Electric models can also highly benefit from this safety feature. The Throttle Cut function can be activated using any assigned switch, knob or stick. By editing the Output Value item, the throttle output will move to the user 4. computer radio control system EN defined (completely off ) throttle position once the assigned switch is activated. 5. Throttle Idle Setting This feature is used to set the idle position for your throttle and will prevent your engine from shutting-off when you moving throttle stick to its low position. The minimum throttle setting is defined by editing the Idle Offset value. When this function has been activated, the minimum throttle setting (idle point) is defined by the offset value as a percentage. Standard throttle function is not affected by the idle offset setting. 9.3.2 Sticks / Switches Setup This menu contains System Stick/Switch settings and configuration. Various functions can be activated by any Switch, Stick or Knob position. Switch setting enables you to set the points when your desired function/timer/telemetry can be turned ON or OFF. 1 3 2 4 1. Switch & Stick Type The first menu line item lists the controls number and the second item lists the type of control element. Using the F2 and F3 function buttons you can scroll through channels, with the F5 (Ok) button you can exit the menu screen. 2. Switch ON/OFF Points Any proportional function can be set as a system switch. This menu item enables you to assign the travel percentage at which a desired function can be turn ON or OFF. Switch-ON The point when the control element positon will switch a function ON. Switch-OFF The point when the control element positon will switch a function OFF. By default, the system setting for all proportional channels and for all inputs is set to function the same as a 3-position switch. a) A function above this point is considered to be Switch ON b) A function in this range (middle) can be considered to be either Switch ON or Switch OFF c) A Function below this point is considered to beSwitch OFF If the switch setting is set at same level for Switch ON and Switch OFF the proportional channel/function output will be the same as a 2-position switch. 3. Required Preflight Position For any functions assigned to the Switch, Knob or Stick; any preflight initial position can be programmed. If the pre-programed Switches, Knobs or Sticks are not in required preflight position while model is being activated, system will refuse to switch to this model. The transmitter screen will display the function that is not in pre-
programmed, correct preflight position. 4. Function Status Display Position and status of the control is displayed in the status bar. On the right side of this menu you can see status of the switch function 4. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN as anxor check mark. 1) Setting Example If you have installed the optional stick with a button in your left or right stick, scroll thru the Control No. Menu line and pick the function switch Skor Slif the button switch is installed in your right stick. Pick one of the Type of Control switch options:
2-Position Switch 3-Position Switch Button For any functions assigned to the chosen switch, knob or stick; any preflight initial position can be programmed. 9.3.3 Wireless Modes/Trainer The transmitter RF modules can operate in one of three modes. For a detailed explanation. (see: section 5) The wireless RF setting is programmed to the memory of individual models (receivers). While programming a selected model you will need to configure the RF module settings. The only exception for the system is the Trainer mode. If the particular model has been programmed in Trainer mode, this setting will not change if the Tx is turned ON or OFF. For safety reasons, the Trainer RF mode will be automatically be switched to Initial RF mode when a different model is selected in the transmitter. DS/DC-16 radio systems are excellent tools for instructor pilots. Basic training for a student is not different than flying his own model. Both the instructor and student have their own Jeti transmitters, all communication between the transmitters is done wirelessly. The instructor decides when to give control of the model to the student and when its time to step in. The instructors primary transmitter RF module communicates with model and the secondary RF module communicates with students transmitter. The Students transmitter, if set to Student mode, disables its secondary RF module and uses only the primary RF module to communicate with instructors transmitter. Other brands of transmitters can be used by the student with a Jeti Duplex EX 2.4GHz radio system by using a special wireless Trainer communication module by Jeti. 4. computer radio control system EN Instructor Wireless Mode DefaultWireless Mode a.

Each logical switch is defined by a logical expression. The logical expression contains a logical function and the relationship of the other conditions which must exist for the logical function to be activated. The end result is that your logical switch can either work like a 2-positon switch
(ON/OFF) or like a proportional 3-position switch (ON/Center/OFF). 1. Creating a Logical Switch Up to 16 independent logical switches can be created. Select one of the numbered lines and press the 3D button to access the logic switch setup menu. To enable the switch highlight and change the enabled value to Yes. Once activated you can see the control inputs and conditions on the menu screen. First set the control inputs #1 and #2 by assigning functions to switches, sticks or knobs. After that, select your desired logic statement (OR, YES, Multi). On the bottom of the screen the result of your logical expression is displayed by either a check mark or an X, depending upon the current conditon state. 2. Logical Switch Proportion Calculation Logical rules can also be created when your logical switch uses proportional channels. To enable proportional evaluation press the F2(Prop) button when you select your input controls. When you allow the use of proportional controls an additional condition menu will appear. In this menu the conditions can be set by percentage value of the channel as well as by the value from which the switch will be in its full ON/OFF position. Those conditions will then be used to calculate the logical result. Example: This figure shows the use of proportional processing by a logical switch. In this example, if the P2 stick is moved between 20% and 80% of its travel the logical switch is in the ON position. If the P2 stick is moved from 0% to 20% or from 80% to 100% then the logical switch is in the OFF position. All 16 logical switches can be configured this way if needed. 4. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN 3. Emulating a 3-Position Switch You can use the logic function Multi to allow the logic switch to act as a 3-position switch. The Multi logic function can combine the output from two 2-position switches to create a logic switch with three output conditions. same time they will play at the same time and their sounds will overlay each other.

Sound Repeat This menu item allows you to repeatedly play any sound after it has been activated. This can be useful if your selected sounds playing time is short. 4. computer radio control system EN 9.4. Timers/Sensors
- Set up of Timers and Telemetry Sensors 9.4.1 Timers The DC/DS-16 allows you to simultaneously use up to 10 different timers. This is useful to separately track motor run times, individual lap times, total flight time or just about anything else you could want. You can also name each of the timers. Once you create a timer it is displayed in its own box on the desktop screen. The timer values are stored in each models setup. The Timers menu displays a list of all of the timers you have created. 1. Model Time/Reset Timers at Power Up By pressing F1() button you can choose which timers will be reset after turning on the TX or after selecting the model. By default, all timers with specified Short Reset option are cleared. In addition, it is possible to have all timers cleared or none. This option is model specific. The model time runs incrementally during flight (after pressing F(4) Start button on main screen or after starting any timer). Button F(3) clears the model time. It is possible to show the model time on the main screen Timers/Sensors->Displayed Telemetry. 2.

You can set a negative or positve value for this starting point. c). Target Timer Value Here is where you can set the target value for the timer. This can be set as a positive value or a negative value. The initial value and target value will determine the timers direction. If the target value is smaller than the initial value the timer will count down. If the target value is larger than the initial value the timer will count up. d). Timer type There are three possible timer types:
Standard The timer starts or resumes when the chosen switch is triggered and the timer pauses when the switch is turned off. The timers value is not reset when the timer is paused. Use the F4(Stop) button to stop the timer. Laps - The timer starts when the chosen switch is triggered. Once the timer is started, each time the switch is triggered, the elapsed time is stored in memory and the timer resets to your chosen initial value. The lap number changes and the current lap time is displayed each time the switch is triggered. Use the F4(Stop) button to stop the timer. Then, you can use the 3D button to scroll through the stored lap times. Free-Running The timer starts counting when the chosen switch is triggered. Once started, this type of timer can only be stopped using theF4(Stop) button. Use the F5(Clr) button from the desktop to reset the timers. e). Report type You can use this item to select the type of audio alarm for the timer. Some of the choices will create an audible warning which sounds just before the target value is reached. f ).

While you are in the Timer Detail menu the timer initial value is displayed in the first function key position (bottom, left). computer radio control system EN 4. 4. computer radio control system EN 9.4.2 Alarms If you use the Jeti telemetry system, in this menu you can set your alarm thresholds and choose which sound is played in the alarm condition. The transmitter support both first generation Duplex and Duplex EX alarms. EX Alarms Duplex EX sensors generate their alarms directly to the transmitter. The corresponding Duplex EX sensor must first be connected to a Duplex EX receiver and the receiver must be bound to the transmitter. It may take several minutes for the transmitter to initially communicate the sensors. The list of connected sensors is found in:
Main Menu >Timers/Sensors >Sensors/Logging Setup. For this operation, both the transmitter and all receivers and sensors must be connected and powered. 1. Creating an Alarm Use the F2(Add) button to add an alarm. Then, in the Sensor item, select the sensor whose alarm limit you want to set. First Generation Alarms First generation Duplex (non-EX) sensors generate their alarms as Morse Code. If you are using first generation Duplex sensors then you must select Enable Morse Code Alarms using the 3D button. When this option is selected, a table appears. In this table, the first column shows the Morse Code alphabet. The second column shows the .wav sound files associated with each letter. Use the 3D Button to change the .wav file association as needed. The third column shows whether the selected .wav file for each letter is enabled. Use the 3D button to enable or disable the alarm sound as needed. This configuration must be set for each model and is saved for each model independantly. 4. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN 2. Enable an Alarm Using the 3D button, select Enabled and press to enable the alarm and display the alarm parameters. 3. Parameter Values Condition defines the condition which must be met in order to trigger the alarm. The value X will vary with the sensor being used. 4. File This item allows you to select the audio file that is played when the alarm occurs. Press F1 to play the selected audio file. Press F2 to stop playing the selected audio file. 5. Repeat If the alarm condition occurrence is longer than the selected audio file, you can use this item to repeat the audio file. If a check mark is displayed then the audio file will repeat. If an x is displayed then the audio file will play only once. 6. Set Throttle Idle With this item activated, you models throttle will go to idle when the alarm condition occurrs. 7. Activation Switch If the switch is assigned, the alarm is enabled or disabled according to the switch status. 9.4.3 Vario Located in: Menu->Timers/Sensors/Vario. There are two types of acoustic signalling. The first one is controlled directly by the sensor's alarm. This is mainly useful if a non-EX MVARIO is installed inside the model. It is possible to assign a switch that enables or disables the sound. The slider at the bottom shows the actual value of climb/sink rate. The second mode of the Vario is dedicated to EX sensors. The acoustic signalling varies directly depending on the actual numerical values sent by the sensor. It is also possible to assign a switch that enables the acoustic signal. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN Other parameters displayed in this menu are:
EX Parameter. Here you can select your sensor and its parameter which will act as a source for the Vario system. The Climb Rate is predefined by default (if the MVARIO EX is detected) but you are free to choose one of the other sensors and their parameters (for example: an RPM probe to indicate high revolutions). Dead Zone (negative and positive). This field sets an area around the centre of the range with no acoustic signal. Values are relative to the center. Range (minimum, center and maximum). Here you can define the full range of the sensor which will be indicated by the Vario system. The actual value of the sensor and its appropriate Vario output are indicated at the bottom of the screen. Negative dead zone Centre of range Positive dead zone Minimum Maximum Permanent sound Silence Beeping... 9.4.4 Voice Output This powerful function makes it easier for all modellers who need to know their actual telemetry values often but they don't want to (or cannot) look at the display because it may be inconvenient or dangerous. Voice output for a timer The first menu row represents settings for the voice output of a timer. The actual status of a single timer can be expressed by a synthesized voice. If you select the desired timer and a switch, every time the switch is activated, the actual time is stated aloud. If the timer type equals Laps type, another menu row equipped with checkbox appears below. In this row, Report previous lap allows you to determine whether you want to hear the time of a current lap which is already running, or hear the time of the previous lap which has ended recently. Voice output for telemetry There are two independent queues dedicated to output telemetry values. The first queue repeats its message every x seconds (number of seconds elapsed is displayed over the F(1) button). You can also assign a switch to enable or disable the repeating of the countdown. Every time this switch is activated, the appropriate variables are reported by voice and then the countdown starts a new round until a timeout is reached. The second voice queue specifies which variables are reported only once, after a single press of a switch. You can select a Trigger switch and a list of variables that are reported when the switch is activated. 4. computer radio control system EN By selecting the pushing the Sensors & Variables option using the 3D rotary button, you are able to choose which variables will be expressed by a synthesized voice. The first column represents the name of the sensor or variable. The Repeat option provides an easy way to add a variable to the Repeat queue or to remove a variable from the Repeat queue. By selecting the Trigger option, the specified variable is added into the Trigger queue, so that every time the Trigger switch is activated, the items in the Trigger queue are expressed by synthesized voice. You may change the priority of any variable. This will also change the order of the reported items. Possible choices for priority are: Low, Medium and High. The order, top to bottom, is from High priority to Low priority. 4. 4. computer radio control system EN 9.4.5 Sensors/Logging Setup This menu lists all of the Duplex EX sensors and their values which are operating in your model. When you connect a sensor to a Duplex EX receiver it may take several minutes for the sensor to be recognized by the transmitter and added to the list. In this menu you can edit the telemetry parameters of each sensor. 9.4.6 Displayed Telemetry This menu lists all of the user information blocks which are displayed on the desktop. You can use this menu to manually add, delete, rename and resize the user information blocks displayed on the desktop. User Block Overview:

The Installed battery pack must be charged from an AC voltage source using only by the included wall battery charger. The included adapters work with local utility services, each country might be supplied with a different type of charger. EU: SYS1428-2412-W2E UK: SYS1428-2412-W3U US: SYS1428-2412-W2 Do not use any battery other than the manufacturer approved Power Ion 3200 DC battery pack. 2. Always verify the correct polarity while connecting a transmitter battery pack. The red lead is positive + and the black lead is negative- polarity. 3. Never test a battery pack by shorting the wire leads. Do not allow the battery to overheat at any time. 4. Never leave your transmitter unattended at any time while it is being charged. 5. Never charge an overheated battery pack, or in an environment warmer than 158 F (70C). 6. During cold months always check the batterys capacity, do not rely on your radios low battery warning system. 7. Always check your transmitter and receiver batteries prior each flight. Do not rely on your radios low battery warning system. 8. Do not allow radio battery pack to come in contact with open flame, other heat source or moisture at any time. 5. computer radio control system EN 11.2 General Safety Rules 1. Any repair, installation, or upgrade must be performed with caution and commons sense. These will require some basic mechanical skills. 2. For any of the upgrades which require removing the radio back cover; you MUST disconnect the transmitter battery pack before attempting any work. 3. It is imperative to store your radio in a controlled environment. Any extreme temperatures can cause damage to the sensitive electronics. A sudden change in temperature or humidity can create condensation which can permanently damage your radio. 4. Do not use radio during poor weather conditions. Any water or condensation can cause corrosion and could permanently disable your radio. If you suspect that moisture has entered your transmitter;
turn it OFF, remove the back cover and let dry it out. 5. Avoid use in dusty environments. 6. The manufacturer is not responsible for any unauthorized modifications. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance will void the users authority to operate the equipment. 7. This is a sophisticated hobby product and not a toy. It must be operated with caution and common sense, always avoid any mechanical damage. 8. Always avoid operating close to devices that might cause harmful electromagnetic interferences. 9. Keep all moving parts clean and free of dust or fine debris that might damage the mechanical parts of the radio. 10. Do not point the transmitter antenna directly towards your model or a human body. The radiation pattern from the antenna will be shielded and provide poor connection to your model. 11. Never repair, re-install, or exchange the internal memory SD card for other type. 12. Avoid extreme temperatures as they can cause damage to the sensitive internal SD card. 13. Always perform a ground range check prior to your initial flight. 11.3 Flight Safety Check 1. Always verify the correct position of the switches, and the gimbals, prior turning ON your transmitter. Turn on the transmitter first, then receiver. Jeti transmitters use "Model Checking." This safety is designed so that the model memory stores the unique serial number of the receiver that has already been assigned to model. When the transmitter establishes communication with the receiver and the serial number does not match the number stored in the current models setup, the transmitter displays a warning. You will then be able to accept the change or reject the change. If you accept the change, the transmitter stores the new receiver number into the models setup and begins transmitting. If you reject the change, the transmitter will not communicate with the receiver and you will be allowed to select another model. 2. Perform a ground range check before each days flying session. 3. Check the battery voltage on both the transmitter and the receiver battery packs. 4. Check all channel assignments, trim, mixes, and the correct 5. 5. computer radio control system direction of movement for your flight surfaces. 5. Set motor/engine kill switch and test the power train. 11.4 Application This product may be used for model airplane or surface (boat, car, robot) use only.
