Warning Connecting connectors Be sure to insert the connector until it stops at the deepest point. How to protect the receiver from vibration and water Wrap the receiver with something soft such as foam rubber to avoid vibration. If there is a chance of getting wet, put the receiver in a waterproof bag or balloon to avoid water. Receiver's antenna Never cut the receiver's antenna. Do not bind the receiver's antenna with the cables for servos. Locate the receiver's antenna as far as possible from metals or carbon fiber components such as frames, cables, etc.

*Cutting or binding the receiver's antenna will reduce the radio reception sensitivity and range, and may cause a crash. Servo throw Adjust your system so that pushrods will not bind or sag when operating the servos to the full extent.

*If excessive force is continuously applied to a servo, the servo could be damaged due to force on the gear train and/or power consumption causing rapid battery drain. Mounting servos Use a vibration-proof rubber (such as rubber grommet) under a servo when mounting the servo on a servo mount. And be sure that the servo cases do not touch directly to the metal parts such as servo mount.

*If the servo case contacts the airframe directly, vibration will travel to and possibly damage the servo.

Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter with which it is being paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no further linking is necessary unless the receiver is to be used with another transmitter. When you purchase additional R3008SB receivers, this procedure is necessary;

otherwise the receiver will not work. 1 Place the transmitter and the receiver close to each other within half (0.5m) meter. Less than 0.5 m T12K ON R3008SB OFF 2 Transmitter to link mode.

The T12K transmitter incorporates a system that reduces its power output and allows you to perform such a range check. Range check mode We have installed a special "Range check mode" for doing a ground range check. To access the "Range check mode" touch and hold the RTN button while turning on the transmitter. Doing so will bring up POWER MODE menu. First, Push to RTN. Next, Push up to turn on. PUSH The present model To activate the "Range check mode" touch the RTN button and the range check mode screen will appear. During this mode, the RF power output is reduced so the range test can be performed. In addition, when this mode is activated the right LED on the front of the transmitter starts blinking and the transmitter gives users a warning with a beeping sound every 3 seconds. The "Range check mode" continues for 90 seconds and after that the power will return to the normal level. To exit the "Range check mode" before the 90 seconds, select the "RANGE CHECK" at the top of the screen and touch the RTN button again. This mode is available one time only so if you need to re-use this function the transmitter power must be cycled. NEVER start

Should you require additional time to perform a range check, highlight Restart before your time expires and press the RTN button one time. Range check procedure 1. With the "Range check mode" on, walk away from the model while simultaneously operating the controls. Have an assistant stand by the model to confirm that all controls are completely and correctly operational. You should be able to walk approximately 30-50 paces from the model without losing control. 2. If everything operates correctly, return to the model. Set the transmitter in a safe, yet accessible, location so it will be within reach after starting the engine or motor. Be certain the throttle stick is in the low throttle position, then start the engine or motor. Perform another range check with your assistant holding the aircraft with the engine running at various speeds. If the servos jitter or move inadvertently, there may be a problem. We

Look for loose servo connections or binding pushrods. Also, be certain that the battery has been fully charged. Range checking on low power. About 100 feet Range check mode Warning

*Since the range of the radio waves is short, if the model is too far from the transmitter, control will be lost and the model will crash.

55 TRAINER

T12K trainer system makes it possible for the instructor to chose which channels and operation modes that can be used in the students transmitter. The function and rate of each channel can be set, the training method can also be matched to the student's skill level. Two transmitters must be connected by an optional Trainer Cord, and the Instructors transmitter should be programmed for trainer operation, as described below. When the Instructor activates the trainer switch, the student has control of the aircraft (if MIX/

FUNC/NORM mode is turned on, the Instructor can make corrections while the student has control). When the switch is released the Instructor regains control. This is very useful if the student gets the aircraft into an undesirable situation.

NOTE: This trainer system can be used in the following manner;

1. With the T12K transmitter and a conventional transmitter, if the channel order is different, it is necessary to match the channel order before using this function. You can select the channel of input data from student's transmitter in the "FUNC" or

"MIX" mode. 2. When the T12K is used as the instructors transmitter, set the modulation mode of the students transmitter to PPM. If being used as the student, T12K can be connected to the instructor's transmitter which the PPM mode as the student's modulation mode is required. T12K always sends PPM mode signal from the trainer jack.

(In the case of student's transmitters other than 2.4 GHz) 3. Be sure that all channels work correctly in

*There are a function which can be used according to the kind of servo, and an impossible function. ID Displays the ID of the servo whose parameters are to be read. It cannot be changed. Channel Channel of the S.BUS system assigned to the servo. Always assign a channel before use. Reverse The direction in which the servo rotates can be changed. Servo type Normal: Normal operation mode Retract: Retract servo mode. When a load is applied to the servo for 30 seconds without any channel operation performed from the transmitter, the current consumption is suppushed by widening the dead band to 40. When channel operation is performed from the transmitter, or the servo is moved outside the expanded dead band by an outside force, dead band expansion is reset and returns to the original operation. O.L.P. : This is the OverLoad Protection mode. If the servo is stalled for more than 5 seconds by a load, the servo output is turned off to protect the servo.

(Note)The S3171SB, S9071SB, S9072SB, S9074SB and S9075SB cannot utilize the Overload Protection mode. OLP setting When the servo type is OLP mode, the torque and time for OLP can be set. When the load is greater than this setting torque and continues over this setting time, OLP works.

This is the torque for working OLP. Setting range 10% 100% 100% is the maximum torque of the servo which you are setting.)

This is the time for working OLP. Setting range 0.20.5123456891015202530 sec When TYPE is set to OLP at page 2/3, OLP trq and time is shown at page 3/3. This is the torque for working OLP. This is the time for working OLP.

*If the setting of OLP torque and time is decreased, it is easier to work OLP.Then, please be careful not to work OLP at usual operation. Soft Start Restricts operation in the specied direction the instant the power is turned on. By using this setting, the rst initial movement when the power is turned on slowly moves the servo to the specied position. Stop Mode The state of the servo when the servo input signal is lost can be specied. The "Hold" mode setting holds the servo in its last commanded position even if using AM or FM system. Smoother This function changes smoothness of the servo operation relative to stick movement changes. Smooth setting is used for normal ight. Select the "OFF" mode when quick operation is necessary such as 3D. Neutral Offset The neutral position can be changed. When the neutral offset is large value, the servo's range of travel is restricted on one side.

<Functions of System Menu>

71 Speed Control Speeds can be matched by specifying the operating speed. The speed of multiple servos can be matched without being affected by motor uctuations. This is effective for load torques below the maximum torque. However, note that the maximum speed will not be exceed what the servo is capable of even if the servos operating voltage is increased. Dead band The dead band angle at stopping can be specied.

[Relationship between dead band set value and servo operation]

Small Dead band angle is small and the servo is immediately operated by a small signal change. Large Dead band angle is large and the servo does not operate at small signal changes.

(Note) If the dead band angle is too small, the servo will operate continuously and the current consumption will increase and the life of the servo will be shortened. Travel Adjust The left and right travels centered about the neutral position can be set independently. Boost The minimum current applied to the internal motor when starting the servo can be set. Since a small travel does not start the motor, it essentially feels like the dead band was expanded. The motor can be immediately started by adjusting the minimum current which can start the motor.

[Relationship between boost set value and servo operation]

Small Motor reacts to a minute current and operation becomes smooth. Large Initial response improves and output torque increases. However, if the torque is too large, operation will become rough. Boost ON/OFF OFF : It is the boost ON at the time of low-speed operation.(In the case of usual) ON : It is always the boost ON.(When quick operation is hope) Damper The characteristic when the servo is stopped can be set. When smaller than the standard value, the characteristic becomes an overshoot characteristic. If the value is larger than the standard value, the brake is applied before the stop position. Especially, when a large load is applied, overshoot, etc. are suppushed by inertia and hunting may occur, depending on the conditions. If hunting (phenomena which cause the servo to oscillate) occurs even though the Dead Band, Stretcher, Boost and other parameters are suitable, adjust this parameter to a value larger than the initial value.

[Relationship between damper set value and servo operation]

Small When you want to overshoot. Set so that hunting does not occur. Large When you want to operate so that braking is not applied. However, it will feel like the servo response has worsened.

(Note) If used in the hunting state, not only will the current consumption increase, but the life of the servo will also be shortened. Stretcher The servo hold characteristic can be set. The torque which attempts to return the servo to the target position when the current servo position has deviated from the target position can be adjusted. This is used when stopping hunting, etc., but the holding characteristic changes as shown below.

[Relationship between stretcher and servo operation]

Small Servo holding force becomes weaker. Large Servo holding force becomes stronger. 72 <Functions of System Menu>

(Note) When this parameter is large, the current consumption increases. Buzzer When the power supply of a servo is previously turned on at the time of a power supply injection without taking transmit of a transmitter, the buzzer sound of about 2.5 Hz continues sounding from a servo.

(Even when the transmit of a transmitter is taken out previously, a buzzer becomes until the signal of a servo is outputted normally, but it is not unusual.) The transmitter has been turned OFF ahead of a servo power supply The buzzer sound of about 1.25 Hz continues sounding as servo power supply end failure alarm.

(Do not insert or remove the servo connector while the receiver power is ON.A buzzer may sound by incorrect recognition.) Buzzer sound is generated by vibrating the motor of a servo. Since current is consumed and a servo generates heat, please do not operate the number more than needed or do not continue sounding a buzzer for a long time.

FUNCTION

When you select model and wing (swash) types, you will find that the optimized combinations of servo output channels and functions have been already preset. If you would like, you can freely change combinations of servo output channels, functions (aileron, elevator, etc), and control (sticks, switches, and trim levers).

*You can also assign the same function to multiple servo output channels such as assigning elevator function to CH2 and CH3. Channel Replacement When the channel is replaced in the Function menu, replaced channel uses the setting data (ATV, SUB-TRIM, REVERSE, F/S, and B-F/S, etc.). Servo Output Channels For T-FHSS Air 14CH mode, you can set 12 linear channels and two digital channels. For S-FHSS mode, you can set only 8 linear channels.

*DG1/2 (digital channels) These channels can function as switched channels. You can freely change combinations between servo output channels and input controls (sticks, switches, and trim levers). Motor Function If you have either a Glider or Airplane Model Type selected, and choose to activate the Motor function, a reverse setting screen is displayed.

*If YES is selected, the output is reversed. If NO is selected, the output is normal.

As a safety precaution to prevent the motor from starting unexpectedly, please switch off the motor accordingly. We also suggest removing the propeller from the motor as an additional precaution.

83 REVERSE

Servo Reverse changes the direction of an individual servos response to a control input. For CCPM helicopters, be sure to read the section on Swash AFR before reversing any servos. With CCPM helicopters, always complete your servo reversing prior to any other programming. If you use pre-built Airplane/Sailplane functions that control multiple servos, it may be confusing to tell whether the servo needs to be reversed or a setting in the function needs to be reversed. See the instructions for each specialized function for further details. Always check servo direction prior to every

model memory, hook ups, and radio function.

Danger Before a flight, always check that your model's servo operation, the direction of control surfaces, and switch setup are correct. Default setting of the throttle/motor channel is always reverse.

*Repeat the operation above for each channel that must be reversed. 84 <Functions of Linkage Menu>

The Failsafe function may be used to set up positions that the servos move to in the case of radio interference. You may set either of two positions for each channel: Hold, where the servo maintains its last commanded position, or failsafe, where each servo moves to a predetermined position. You may choose either mode for each channel. The T12K system also provides you with an advanced battery monitoring function that warns you when the receiver battery has only a little power remaining.

Neutral Point At your linkages, if the servo horn deviates from a perpendicular position at neutral, the linkage compensation functions in this menu may not compensate effectively. To correct this use the Neutral Point function. This will move the neutral point of the servos to the actual perpendicular position. However, this adjustment changes only the axis point of the compensation functions in this menu, and does not affect the neutral position of other functions. Swash AFR Swash AFR function reduces, increases, or reverses the rate (travel) of the aileron, elevator and collective pitch functions, by adjusting or reversing the motion of all servos involved in that function, only when using that function.

This function adjusts the left and right rudder angles of airplanes with winglets. Winglets are used to improve the efficiency of aircraft by lowering the lift-induced drag caused by wingtip vortices. The winglet is a vertical or angled extension located at the tip of each wing. Winglets work by increasing the effective aspect ratio wing without adding greatly to the structural stress and hence necessary weight of its structure

- an extension of wing span would also permit lowering of induced drag, though it would cause parasitic drag and would require boosting the strength of the wing and hence its weight. There would come a point at which no overall useful gains would be made. A winglet helps to solve this by effectively increasing the aspect ratio without adding to the span of the wing.

TIMER ST1/ST2 The Timer function may be set for any desired time, i.e. engine run time, specified times for competitions, etc. Two independent timers are provided for your use. The timers are stored independently with each model, meaning that when you switch between model setups, the timer associated with the new model is brought up automatically. The timers may be set to start and stop from the motion of any switch or stick. You may set the ON and OFF directions freely. Each timer has a capacity of up to 59 minutes 59 seconds. Each timer may be set for count-down (DOWN mode) or count up (UP mode) operation with a target time or for count up to 99 hours 59 minutes

(HOUR mode). If a target time is set and the timer reaches the set time, a buzzer sound for each count is generated. Countdown timers sound one short beep during the last twenty seconds and two short beeps during the last ten seconds before reaching the target, then

The various functions used in the T12K can be activated by a switch. For the purposes of this manual, a stick position, VR position, etc. shall be commonly referred to as a switch in all cases. That

is, whenever the manual indicates that something is operated via a switch, it is possible for the user to activate this setting via a stick, stick position, etc. When a switch is selected at a mixing function, etc., the selection screen shown below is called.
