: Prohibited

: Mandatory 2.4GHz System Precautions Warning Special attention should be paid before turning on the system while other cars are running or other airplanes are ying because the 2.4GHz RC system could potentially affect them. Be sure to set the Fail Safe function. Digital Servo Type Precautions Caution

:Futaba digital servo (including BLS Series brushless servos) When using the 4PX in the "Digital servo" type, always use it under the following conditions:

Servos Receivers battery :Matched to the ratings of the receiver and connected digital servo (dry cell battery cannot be used). Transmitter mode :Digital servo type(See p.39 for setting method.) Under other conditions, the set will not operate, or the specied performance will not be displayed even if it operates. In ad-

dition, it may cause servo trouble. Futaba will not be responsible for damage, etc. caused by combination with the products of other companies. In addition, the FSU Fail Safe Unit cannot be used because the system is different. Use the fail safe function of the trans-

mitter. When using analog servos, always switch the 4PX servo type to the "Analog servo" mode. Transmitter mode :Analog servo type(See p.39 for setting method.) Receivers battery :Matched to the ratings of the receiver and connected servo. The set cannot operate in the "Digital servo" type. Operation in this type will cause trouble with the servo and other equipment. Digital servos (including BLS Series brushless servos) can also be used in the "Analog servo" type. F o r Y o u r S a f e t y A s W e l l A s T h a t O f O t h e r s 8 4PX-Eng-03-Safety-P8-11.indd 8 2014/07/17 12:47:08 Operation Precautions Warning Do not operate outdoors on rainy days, run through puddles of water or use when visibility is lim-

ited. Should any type of moisture (water or snow) enter any component of the system, erratic operation and loss of control may occur. Do not operate in the following places.

-Near other sites where other radio control activity may occur.

-Near people or roads.

-On any pond when passenger boats are present.

-Near high tension power lines or communication broadcasting antennas. Interference could cause loss of control. Improper installation of your Radio Control System in your model could result in serious injury. Do not operate this R/C system when you are tired, not feeling well or under the inuence of alco-

hol or drugs. Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself as well as others. s r e h t O f O t a h T s A l l e W s A y t e f a S r u o Y r o F Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate heat while the model is operating or immediately after its use. These parts may be very hot and can cause serious burns. Always perform an operating range check prior to use. Problems with the radio control system as well as improper installation in a model could cause loss of control.

(Simple range test method) Have a friend hold the model, or clamp it down or place it where the wheels or prop cannot come in contact with any ob-

ject. Walk away and check to see if the servos follow the movement of the controls on the transmitter. Should you notice any abnormal operation, do not operate the model. Also check to be sure the model memory matches the model in use. Turning on the power switches. Always check the throttle trigger on the transmitter to be sure it is at the neutral position. 1. Turn on the transmitter power switch. 2. Turn on the receiver or speed control power switch. Turning off the power switches Always be sure the engine is not running or the motor is stopped. 1. Turn off the receiver or speed control power switch. 2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch. If the power switches are turned off in the opposite order, the model may unexpectedly run out of control and cause a very dangerous situation. When making adjustments to the model, do so with the engine not running or the motor discon-

nected. You may unexpectedly lose control and create a dangerous situation.

(Fail safe function) Before running (cruising), check the fail safe function. Check Method; Before starting the engine, check the fail safe function as follows:

1) Turn on the transmitter and receiver power switches. 2) Wait at least one minute, then turn off the transmitter power switch. (The transmitter automatically transfers the fail safe data to the receiver every minute.) 3) Check if the fail safe function moves the servos to the preset position when reception fails. The fail safe function is a safety feature that minimizes set damage by moving the servos to a preset position when recep-

tion fails. However, if set to a dangerous position, it has the opposite effect. When the reverse function was used to change the operating direction of a servo, the fail safe function must be reset. Setting example: Throttle idle or brake position 4PX-Eng-03-Safety-P8-11.indd 9 2014/07/17 12:47:10 9 Battery Handling Precautions

(Only when Ni-MH/Li-ion batteries are used) Warning Never plug the charger into an outlet of other than the indicated voltage. Plugging the charger into the wrong outlet could result in an explosion or re. Never insert or remove the charger while your hands are wet. You may get an electric shock. Do not use the transmitter's battery, HT5F1700B or FT2F1700BV2 as the receiver's battery. Since the transmitter's battery has an overload protection circuit, the output power will be shut down when the high current load is applied. This may result in runaway or fatal crash. Always check to be sure your batteries have been charged prior to operating the model. Should the battery go dead while the model is operating, loss of control will occur and create a very dangerous situation. To recharge the transmitter battery, use the special charger made for this purpose. Overcharging could cause the battery to overheat, leak or explode. This may lead to re, burns, loss of sight and many other types of injuries. Caution When running (cruising), do not use the dry cell battery box at the transmitter. The accessory dry cell battery box is for performance checks. Do not use it for other than performance checks. The dry cell battery may be separated from the battery box contacts by shock and the power cut off. If the power is cut off while running

(cruising), a collision may occur. The use of Futaba a genuine NiMH or LiFe battery pack is strongly recommended. Do not use commercial AA size Ni-MH and Li-ion batteries. Quick charging may cause the battery contacts to overheat and damage the battery holder. Do not short circuit the battery terminals. A short circuit across the battery terminals may cause abnormal heating, re and burns. Do not drop the battery or expose it to strong shocks or vibrations. The battery may short circuit and overheat; electrolyte may leak out and cause burns or chemical damage. When the model is not being used, always remove or disconnect the battery. Leaving the battery connected could create a dangerous situation if someone accidentally turns on the receiver power switch. Loss of control could occur. Always keep the charger disconnected from the outlet while it is not in use. Do this to prevent accidents and to avoid overheating. Do not connect the charger when the battery is not connected. A load will be applied to the circuit and the transmitter may be damaged. F o r Y o u r S a f e t y A s W e l l A s T h a t O f O t h e r s 10 4PX-Eng-03-Safety-P8-11.indd 10 2014/07/17 12:47:13 Storage and Disposal Precautions Warning Do not leave the radio system or models within the reach of small children. A small child may accidentally operate the system. This could cause a dangerous situation and injuries. Ni-Cd batteries can be very dangerous when mishandled and cause chemical damage. Do not throw Ni-MH/LiFe batteries into a re. Do not expose batteries to extreme heat. Also do not disassemble or modify a battery pack. Overheating and breakage will cause the electrolyte to leak from the cells and cause skin burns, loss of sight, and other injuries. When the system will not be used for any length of time, store the system with HT5F1700B batteries in a discharged state. Be sure to recharge the batteries prior to the next time the system is used. If the batteries are repeatedly recharged in a slightly discharged state, the memory effect of the Ni-Cd battery may con-

siderably reduce the capacity. A reduction in operating time will occur even when the batteries are charged for the recom-

mended time. (After discharge to 1cell E.V.=1V) s r e h t O f O t a h T s A l l e W s A y t e f a S r u o Y r o F

<Battery Electrolyte>

The electrolyte in Ni-MH/Ni-Cd batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in your eyes, DO NOT RUB. Wash immediately with water, and seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can cause blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water immediately. Warning Do not store your R/C system in the following places.

- Where it is extremely hot or cold.

- Where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight.

- Where the humidity is high.

- Where vibration is prevalent.

- Where dust is prevalent.

- Where the system would be exposed to steam and condensation. Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deforma-

tion and numerous problems with operation. If the system will not be used for a long period of time, re-

move the batteries from the transmitter and model and store in a cool, dry place. If the batteries are left in the transmit-

ter, electrolyte may leak and damage the transmitter. This applies to the model also. Remove the batteries from it also to prevent damage.

<Battery Recycling>

A used battery is a valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and dispose of the battery by taking it to a battery recycling center. Other Precautions Caution Do not expose plastic parts to fuel, motor spray, waste oil or exhaust. The fuel, motor spray, waste oil and exhaust will penetrate and damage the plastic. Always use only genuine Futaba transmitters, receivers, servos, ESCs (electronic speed con-

trols), Ni-MH/Ni-Cd/Li-ion batteries and other optional accessories. Futaba will not be responsible for problems caused by the use of other than Futaba genuine parts. Use the parts speci-

ed in the instruction manual and catalog. 4PX-Eng-03-Safety-P8-11.indd 11 2014/07/17 12:47:15 11 B e f o r e U s n g i Before Using Features

-Response change function The operation response can be set in 50 steps to match your preference and the course and ve-

hicle.

-Anti-skid braking system (A.B.S.) This function applies the brakes so that the tires of gasoline engine cars, etc. do not lose their grip on the road even when braking at corners.

-Throttle acceleration Gasoline engine cars have a time lag before the clutch and brakes become effective. The TH-ACCEL function reduces this time lag.

-Throttle speed Sudden trigger operation on a slippery road surface will only cause the tires to spin and the model to not accelerate smoothly. By setting the throttle speed function, operation can be per-

formed smoothly and easily. It also suppresses battery consumption.

-Steering speed When you sense that the steering servo is too fast, etc., the servo operating speed (direction that suppresses the maximum speed) can be adjusted.

-Non-telematry LED

-Racing timer The lap timer can record 99 lap times, total time, and average lap time. The timer can also be started automatically by trigger operation. The race time and audible alarm can be set. The 4PX also has a navigation timer effective during practice runs. The target lap and re-/fuel-

ing time are indicated by an audible alarm. An up timer and down timer are also provided.

"Warning: Auto power off" will appear. If steering wheel, throttle trigger, push switch, edit button or other operation is performed, the alarm is reset. Also turn off the power when the transmitter is not in use. If the alarm is not reset, the auto power off function will automatically turn off the power after 5 minutes. If you do not want to use this alarm and the auto power off function, they can be disabled by system setting (p.148). Low Battery Alarm If the transmitter battery voltage drops below the usable range, an audible alarm will sound and "Low battery" will be displayed. Since the usable range of LiFe and NiMH batteries and LiFe batteries is different, the power supply used must be set by system setting. If the battery goes dead while running (cruising), since there is the danger of collision, immediately recover the vehicle (boat) and stop running (cruising). Warning When a low battery alarm is generated, cease operation immedi-

ately and retrieve the model. If the battery goes dead while in operation, you will lose control of the model. 16 4PX-Eng-04-Before-P12-31.indd 16 2014/07/18 16:59:28 Digital Trim Operation (Wheel)

(Initial setting: DT5; Steering D/R, DT6; Brake rate) Operate the lever by turning them. The current set value is displayed on the LCD screen. How-

ever, this operation cannot be performed when the trim/dial lock (p.21) function is set. i g n s U e r o f e B Steering dual rate DT5 Brake rate (Brake1) DT6 Steering dual rate display Brake rate display Each step is indicated by a tone. When the trim exceeds the maximum trim adjust-

ment range, the tone will change pitch and the ser-

vo will not move any farther. 17 4PX-Eng-04-Before-P12-31.indd 17 2014/07/18 16:59:28 B e f o r e U s n g i Mechanical ATL Adjustment Make this adjustment when you want to decrease the stroke of the brake (back) side of the throttle trigger for operation feel. Adjustment 1 Using a 1.5mm hex wrench, adjust the trigger brake (reverse) stroke. (The screw moves the throttle trigger stopper.) When the screw is turned clockwise, the stroke becomes narrower. Adjust the stroke while watching the screw. Mechanical ATL adjusting screw Note:

Once you have changed the mechanical stroke on the brake side, be sure to adjust the scale of the throttle channel accordingly by using the "Adjuster Function" (p.128). Due to this change, you also need to adjust in most cases the travel of the throttle servo by using "Data Setting."

Wheel & Trigger Tension Adjustment Make this adjustment when you want to change the wheel or trigger springs tension. Adjustment 1 Using a 1.5mm hex wrench, adjust the wheel spring tension by turning the screw inside the adjusting hole in the arrow direction. The spring is set to the weakest tension at the factory. When the adjusting screw is turned clockwise, the spring tension increases. Wheel tension adjusting screw Trigger tension adjusting screw Note:

The adjustment range is up to 7 to 8 turns from the fully tightened (strongest) position. If turned farther than this, the adjusting screw may fall out. 18 4PX-Eng-04-Before-P12-31.indd 18 2014/07/18 16:59:28 i g n s U e r o f e B Trigger Slide Adjustment & Remove The High Point Spring The throttle trigger position can be moved forward and backward. Adjustment 1 Using a 2.0mm hex wrench, loosen the trigger slide mounting screw by turning it slightly counterclockwise. Always loosen this screw. Note:

If the trigger slide screw is turned too much, the screw may fall out. 2 Adjust the trigger slide position within the marked range. The high point spring can be removed by moving to the fastest from the grip.

Antenna Antenna Antenna Moving Range If the antenna is set to the 90 vertical position, the range of the radio waves may be greater than in the horizontal position. (Different depending on the conditions) i g n s U e r o f e B Caution Please do not grasp the transmitter's antenna during drive. Doing so may degrade the quality of the RF transmission to the model. The antenna position can be changed in the range as shown in gure. However, please do not apply unnecessary force or shock. The internal cable may be damaged; thus transmitting distance decreases and it may cause malfunction. There might be a small glitch when the antenna of the transmitter is brought close to servos, ESCs or other peripheral devices. This is not an issue but please keep this symptom in mind, especially when setting-up. 29 4PX-Eng-04-Before-P12-31.indd 29 2014/07/18 16:59:36 Handling an microSD card (commercial product) T4PX model data and telemetry log data can be saved by using a commercial microSD card. When T4PX software updates are released, the microSD card can also be used to make the update.

(Some models may not be oper-

ated by card.)

*The data in the memory card cannot be guar-

anteed regardless of the contents and cause of trouble or damage. Always back-up the valuable data in the memory card. Caution Always insert and remove the microSD card in the state in which the transmitter power is off. If the microSD card is removed while being ac-

cessed (read or write), the card itself and the data may be destroyed. Do not install and remove the microSD card with the microSD card slot facing your face. If you remove your ngers quickly, the microSD card may fly out and strike your face and is dangerous. Since the microSD card is a precision device, do not subject it to unreason-

able force or shock. Insert the card with the metal terminals side at the bottom. Remove the card by pushing it in and then pulling it out. Install and remove the card by pushing it in until you hear a click. B e f o r e U s n g i

-When a microSD card is installed in the T4PX transmitter, a folder called "Futaba" is cre-

ated. Folders called "LOG" and "MODEL" are created in this folder. The "MODEL" folder stores the model data and the "LOG" folder stores the telemetry log data. When "Save screen" is set at the push switch by switch setting, an image of the screen to be displayed on the T4PX is saved by that switch. The saved image is stored in a folder call "PICTURE". A "PICTURE" folder is not created until "Save screen" is set.

* The T4PX and a telemetry system T-FHSS receiver (R304SB, etc.) memorize the IDs linked last at each model memory. Since only one receiver ID is memorized at each model mem-

ory, multiple T-FHSS receivers cannot be used with the same model memory. When a re-

ceiver at the same model memory is changed, re-linking is necessary even if the receiver is already linked with the transmitter. When using multiple T-FHSS telemetry receivers, link each receiver with each T4PX model memory. However, one receiver can be linked with multiple model memories. The telemetry function communication status can be checked at the T4PX home screen. I n i t i a l S e t

If there are many Futaba 2.4GHz systems (T-FHSS/ S-FHSS/ FHSS) turned on in close proximity to your receiver might not link to your transmitter. In this case, even if the receivers LED stays solid green, unfortunately the receiv-

er might have established a link to one of other transmitters. This is very dangerous if you do not notice this situa-

tion. In order to avoid the problem, we strongly recommend you to double-check whether your receiver is really un-

der control by your transmitter by giving the stick input and then checking the servo response.

*Please refer to the table below for LED status vs receiver's condition. LED status vs receivers condition:

No signal reception Receiving signals Receiving signals, but ID is unmatched. Unrecoverable failure (EEPROM,etc.) Red : On Green: On Green: Blink *1 (T-FHSS ,Red : On) LED: Red and Green turn on alternately

t e S l a i t i n I Warning After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check if the receiver to be linked is really under the control of your transmitter. Do not perform the linking procedure with motors main wire connected or the engine operating as it may result in serious injury. Servo Type Check Check if the servo type setting matches the servo used. When a digital servo (including BLS brushless servo) is used, "Digi-

tal servo" or "Analog servo"" can be set. Since an analog servo cannot be used with the "Digital servo" setting, the servo type must be set to "Analog servo". If used with the wrong setting, the analog servo will be damaged. If the setting is incorrect, change it by the following method.

"Digital" is displayed 4PX-Eng-06-Inst_set-36-41.indd 39 2014/07/18 16:58:48 For "Digital servo" type 39 Refer to page 36 and display the "Receiver setup" screen.

(Set-Up Procedure When Installed In a Car) When installing the servos in a car, performing function set-up in the following order is recommended. 1 Initialize all the trims. 2 Set the servo direction of operation using the Reverse function. (p.47)

- The servo installation method and linkage direction depend on the kit. Therefore, the servo operation direction may have to be reversed relative to transmitter operation. Before install-

ing the servo, check the operating direction and set it using the Reverse function. 3 Set the subtrim and adjust the servo neutral point. (p.48) 4 Set the trigger travel by adjusting the throttle trigger mechanical ATL to your liking. (p.18)

- When the stroke was adjusted, compensate the throttle by adjuster function (p.152). 5 Set EPA of each channel and adjust the servo throw (travel).

eration amount adjustment during linkage.

- Correct the maximum steering angle for left and right steering angles when there is a difference in the turning radius due to the characteristics, etc. of the vehicle.

(All channel) Maximum steering angle The End point function basically determines the maximum steering angle of each chan-

nel. The functions shown below may have been adjusted or the operating range set by End point function may be exceeded. Check the linkage each time the following functions are adjusted.

- Sub trim (all channels)

- Program mixing slave side (all channels)

- Tilt mixing (steering, channel 3)

- Idle up (throttle)

- Start Function, Engine Cut (throttle)

- Throttle acceration (throttle) Brake rate trim Brake rate trim allows adjustment of the brake side operation amount during operation. Therefore, when the operating angle is adjusted with throttle End point, Brake rate trim must also be taken into account. Remark

(140%), the steering angle can be increased somewhat by using program mixing.

(Setup example: See page 96.) Warning Operate each servo over its full stroke and be sure the linkage does not bind or is not loose. The continuous application of unreasonable force to a servo may cause damage and excessive battery drain. Caution!

A whining noise indicates that the steering servo is improperly set. Adjust the steering servo so that unreason-

able force is not applied to the servo by the chassis at maximum servo travel. Decide the End point value at the contact point. Adjust the throttle servo so that unreasonable force is not applied when the engine carburetor is fully open, fully closed, and the brakes are applied fully. If the brakes overheat while running, their ability to function properly decreases. Before running, adjust the suitable maximum servo travel so that unreasonable force is not applied even when the servo travel is increased while running.

BRAKE The standard value (100% point) of this setup affects the operation amount set by throttle end point function. Convenient usage method For gasoline engine cars, the linkage must have a clearance because one servo controls the engine carburetor and brake. Thus, there is a noticeable time delay at both the forward and brake sides. Sharp response comparable to that of electric mo-

tor cars is obtained by reducing this clearance at the transmitter side.

-Fail safe mode

(All channel) This function moves each servo to a preset position when the receiver cannot receive the signals from the transmitter for some reason.

*The fail safe data is transferred from the transmitter to the receiver 10 seconds after the transmitter power was turned on. The data is transferred every 10 seconds after that. Be careful because normally the trans-

data transfer for about 10 seconds after the receiver power is turned on.

*For gasoline engine cars, for safety we recommend that this fail safe function be used to set the throttle channel in the di-

rection in which the brakes are applied.

-Hold mode This function holds the receiver in its position immediately before reception was lost.

-Off mode (OFF) This function stops output of signals to the servos and places the servos into the free state when the receiver cannot receive. The F/S, HOLD, and OFF modes are automatically reset when signals from the transmit-

ter can be received again

-Battery fail safe function (B-F/S) If the receiver battery voltage drops below a certain value when this function is enabled, the throttle servo moves to the position set by fail safe function. When the battery voltage ecovers, the battery fail safe function is automatically reset.

*This function cannot be used when the channel is not set to fail safe.

(Throttle system) This function makes the throttle high side and brake side direction servo operation quicker or milder. It has no effect on the servo maximum operation amount. For the high side, selection from among three kinds of curves (EXP/VTR/Curve) is also possible. Advice When the course conditions are good and the surface has good grip, set each curve to the

+ side (quick side). When the road surface is slippery and the drive wheels do not grip it, set each curve to the - minus (mild) side. MENU 1 screen HOME screen PrePress Press or MENU 2 screen Press Press Press Curve selection First, select the type of forward side curve at the "Type" item. The setup item (screen) varies with the type of curve. The gure at the above is the EXP curve setup screen. EXP curve screen Curve type which operates the throttle from the neutral point to the high point on a curved curve. Caution VTR curve screen Curve type which sets the switching point between the throttle neutral point and high point and operates the throttle on a linear curve. CRV curve screen Curve type which sets 9 points between the throttle neutral point and high point and operates the throttle. When Trigger Ratio (p.66) was set to 100:0, brake operation is stopped and the throttle

The preset position set here becomes the linkage standard. The linkage is set so that the car-

buretor is fully closed and the engine is stopped within the preset adjustment range. The full throttle position is set by "Forward" of the end point function. The idling position is adjusted by throttle trim. The throttle servo operating position (preset position) set by this setting is unrelated to the setting of other functions. Maximum to minimum servo travel can be set. However, the reverse function setting is enabled. Caution Always operate carefully before using this function. While push switch PS1~PS5, or trigger switch TS with preset function set is in the ON state, the servo (motor controller) is locked in the preset position and does not operate even if the throttle trigger is operated. If the servo was operated at the wrong setting, you may lose control of the car (boat). 72 Engine Cut 4PX-Eng-08-Function-66-103.indd 72 2014/07/18 17:20:30 A.B.S.

(Steering,Throttle,3rd,4th channel system) Mixing Menu Big cars such as 1/5 scale GP car, etc. brake mixing, 4-wheel steering 4WS mixing used with Corolla, etc., dual ESC mixing that controls the front and rear motors independently, gyro mixing that allows adjustment of the sensitivity of Futaba car rate gyros, CPS mixing that controls Futaba channel power switch CPS-1, and other special mixing functions and program mixing that allows free setting among channels can be set at the mixing menu. Program, mixing These functions allow you to apply mixing between the steering, throttle, channel 3 and channel 4. Steering mixing This mixing function uses 2 servos to individually control the left and right steering. Left and right steering can be set independently so smooth cornering is possible. Brake mixing This function is used when the front and rear brakes must be adjusted independently such as a 1/5 scale GP car. Gyro mixing This function is a remote gain function that uses the 3rd or 4th CH of the transmitter to ad-

just the sensitivity of a Futaba car rate gyro. It can also be used by switching the two gains mode by switch. Normal mode and AVCS mode are explained at gyro mixing. 4WS mixing This function can be used with Corolla and other 4WS type vehicles. It is mixing that uses the 1st CH to control the front side steering and the 3rd or 4th CH to control the rear side steering. OFF (front side only), reverse phase, same phase, rear side only and other 4WS types are switched by switch. Dual ESC mixing This function is mixing that uses the 2nd CH to control the front side motor controller and the 3rd or 4th CH to control the rear side motor controller of a Corolla or other 4WD type vehicle. Drive is switched among front side only, rear side only, and both front side and rear side (4WD) by switch. CPS mixing This function controls the Futaba CPS-1 channel power switch. Normally, when a CPS-1 unit is used to light the chassis dress-up and other illumination

(LED) the LED is connected to a vacant switch channel of the connected CPS-1 unit and the LED is turned on and off by switch while the vehicle is running. However, when this

"min" which sets the frequency when the load is small, is set to the high frequency side (large value) when extension is desired after straightaways and curves.

"max" which sets the frequency when the load is large, is set to the high frequency side (large value) when you want to suppress the rise from low speed and when motor heating and commutator roughness are sensed. When the rise from low speed is poor, and becomes bad even when "max" is set to the low frequency side, use the log data to check if there was a momentary voltage drop. When you want to suppress the overall power, lengthen the run time, and otherwise improve efciency, set both "max" and "min" to the high frequency side. When you want to set a xed PWM frequency at full range regardless of the load current, set PWM frequency (at Max. load) and PWM frequency (at Min. load) to the same value.

When set to "ACT", reverse operation is not performed. Robot mode MC401,402CR/MC950CR/MC940,960CR :ACT/INH Same as Link software Robot Model. When set to "ACT", breke operation is not performed, there is only forward and reverse operation. MC401,402CR MC940,960CR MC950CR Brake slope MC940,960CR/ :0~300 Same as Link software Brake Slope. This function adjusts the braking effect when the throttle was returned (throttle off). It cancels operation like that called engine brake of actual vehicles. MC940,960CR Brake timer MC940,960CR/MC950CR :0sec~300sec Same as Link software Brake Timer. When the reverse function is used, ordinarily if the trigger is not moved to the brake (reverse) side and then returned from the brake operation position to the neutral position, reverse operation will not be performed. However, when used by intentionally moving the neutral point to the forward side, if brake operation is repeated, reverse operation may be performed even if the trigger is not re-

turned to the neutral position. The time required to switch to reverse operation can be set to prevent this from occurring. Lead angle MC950CR/ :0~1500 Same as Link software Lead Angle. The lead angle of the motor can be set at the MC950CR side. However, we recommend that it normally be set to "0". Since this setting is premised on setting by referring to the speed log by the Link software. MC940,960CR/MC950CR F u n c t i o n MC Link Function (ESC Link) 123 4PX-Eng-08-Function-104-156.indd 123 2014/07/18 17:36:14 BEC voltage MC940,960CR/ :6.0V/7.4V MC940,960CR Same as Link software BEC Volt. The receiver BEC voltage can be selected from 6.0V and 7.4V. Match the volt-

age to the rating of the servo connected to the same receiver. This BEC voltage cannot output a voltage higher than the input voltage. For instance, if a 6.0V receiver and servo are used with a power supply voltage of 7.4V or more, set the BEC voltage to 6.0V and when a high voltage receiver and servo are used, set the BEC voltage to 7.4V. Turbo mode MC940,960CR/ :Turbo0/Turbo1/Turbo2 Same as Link software Turbo Mode. This function sets the turbo mode. More power can be displayed by using the turbo mode. Depending on the set-

ting, the motor and ESC may be damaged so make this setting carefully.

(Note) When "Lead angle use" is INH, lead angle setting will not operate even if set to "Turbo1" or "Turbo2." (Turbo mode disabled, Turbo0=Off)

-Turbo0 mode: (No Lead Angle mode) Lead angle - No When used in races in which the lead angle setting function is inhibited by ESC, set to this mode. The lead angle function is disabled the same as if

"Lead angle use" was turned off. When the lead angle function was disabled by the method described above, the MC940,960CR shows that the lead angle function is off by blinking a blue LED at an ON 0.1 second, OFF 0.9 second cycle at the neutral point.

-Turbo1 turbo mode: (Lead Angle mode) Lead angle Yes The output can be increased by setting a lead angle. Depending on the set value, the motor may be damaged so increase the lead angle value in steps from a small value while observing the conditions. Turn on "Lead angle use" and adjust the lead angle by "Lead angle" and point A, B, C, D, E (A, B, C, D, E Lead angle) value.

-Turbo2 power mode: (Power Mode) Lead angle Yes Displays still more power than a turbo. However, since even a motor applies a large load on the ESC, make the lead angle larger in steps from a small value while observing the conditions. Turn on "Lead angle use" and adjust the lead angle by "Lead angle" and point A, B, C, D, E (A, B, C, D, E Lead angle) value. F u n c t i o n Power point A MC940,960CR/ :0rpm~100000rpm Same as Link software Power Point A. When the turbo mode is power 2 (Power mode) and the lead angle is large, movement may become stiff when entering the course, etc. In this case, make operation smooth by lowering the set speed at power point A. This function is not performed in modes other than Turbo 2. 124 MC Link Function (ESC Link) 4PX-Eng-08-Function-104-156.indd 124 2014/07/18 17:36:15 Lead angle use MC940,960CR :ACT/INH Same as Link software Lead Angle Use. This function is effective when Turbo Mode is Turbo1 or Turbo2 and sets whether or not lead angle is used. This setting has priority over the Turbo Mode setting. When using in races in which the lead angle function is inhib-

ited by the ESC set this function to INH. INH ACT

ments. Point A,B,C,D,E Lead angle MC940,960CR :0deg~59deg Same as Link software Boost Angle. Point A,B,C,D,E Rotation MC940,960CR :0rpm~99990rpm Same as Link software Boost Angle rpm. When "Lead Angle Use" is turned on the lead angle versus motor speed of the 5 points A to E can be set. The lead angle can be set up to 59 degrees in 1 degree increments. The "Lead angle" and "Point A, B, C, D, E Lead angle" relationship is shown on the graphs below. Graph

[1] shows the relationship when the same value is set at "Points A, B, C, D, E Lead angle" of [1] and [2]

and the "Lead angle" was set to "0" and graph [2] shows the relationship when a value other than "0" was set at "Lead angle". As shown in the graphs, [2] is added to the "Points A, B, C, D, E Lead angle" set lead angle and [1] is added to the "Lead angle" set lead angle. For example, if "3" is set at Point A and "Lead angle" of [2] is set to "2", the actual Point A becomes 3+2=5 (deg). Since "Lead angle" of [A] is "0", the actual Point A also becomes 3+0=3 (deg).

The "Lead angle use" setting has priority over "Turbo mode". If "Lead angle use" is set to "INH", the lead angle setting function can be turned off even if "Turbo mode" is set to

"Turbo1" or "Turbo2". The MC940,960CR shows that the lead angle setting function is OFF ("0" timing) by blinking a LED. MC Link Function (ESC Link) 125 4PX-Eng-08-Function-104-156.indd 125 2014/07/18 17:36:15 S.Bus Servo This is a special function which allows Futaba S.BUS/S.BUS2 servo parameter changes to be set by the T4X transmitter. However, some data changes require a PC and S-Link software. This function is used by connecting Futaba S.BUS/S.BUS2 servo directly to the transmitter.

and servo.

-When the T4PX battery voltage drops, since the display switches to low battery display,

-Power is supplied to the servo from the transmitter, but the corresponding voltage is for high voltage servo (HV) use. Since an overvoltage will be applied to servos other than this, connect the corresponding battery to the servo. When the battery is connected, the supply of power from the transmitter automatically stops. Caution When connecting an S-BUS servo that does not support high voltage, connect a battery matched to the servo specications. High voltage servo support voltage is supplied from the transmitter. If a servo that does not support high voltage is connected, unreasonable force will be applied to the servo and will cause trouble. Connecting S.BUS/S.BUS2 servo connector to the trans-

(Preparation)

1 Select the setting item by (JOG) button up, down, left, or right operation. Set the value by (+) and (-) button. ID Displays the ID of the servo whose parameters are to be read. It cannot be changed. Channel This is the S.BUS system channel assigned to the servo. When connected to the receiver S-BUS2 connector as an S.BUS sys-

tem, the channel used by the transmitter is assigned. When the normal receiver channel is used, channel setting is unneces-

sary. Reverse The direction in which the servo rotates can be changed. Neutral The neutral position can be changed. When the eutral offset is large value, the servos range of travel is restricted on one side. Travel(L) The maximum left travels centered about the neutral position can be set independently. Travel(R) The maximum right travels centered about the neutral position can be set independently. Speed Speeds can be matched by specifying the operating speed. The speed of multiple servos can be matched without be-

ing 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. 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 makes servo operation smooth. Set it according to your taste. Normally set it to "ACT". Set it to "INH"

when want especially quick operation. When the smoother function was set to "ACT" and the servo was operated the distance up to the target position is hanged in steps so movement is smooth. F u n c t i o n 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 in-

crease and the life of the servo will be shortened. 128 S.Bus Servo 4PX-Eng-08-Function-104-156.indd 128 2014/07/18 17:36:16 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 suppressed by inertia and hunting may occur, depend-

ing 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 wors-

ened.

(Note) If used in the hunting state, not only will the current consumption increase, but the life of theservo 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.

(Note) When this parameter is large, the current consumption increases Boost/Boost (ON/OFF) INH : It is the boost ON at the time of low-speed operation.(In the case of usual) ACT : It is always the boost ON.(When quick operation is hope) 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 adjust-

ing 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 be-

come rough. Type When "Retractable" is selected and the servo has been continuously stopped for 30 seconds, the dead band expands and unnecessary hold current due to external force is eliminated. When a new control signal enters, normal operation is resumed. When using the servo as a landing gear servo, select

"Retractable". Also adjust the servo travel to match the landing gear movement range. Alarm When the power supply of a servo is previously turned on at the time of a power supply injection without taking trans-

mit 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 output-

ted 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 recog-

nition.)

*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.

Servos are classied by channel and sensors are classied by "slot". Since the T4PX initial slot No. is set at each sensor in advance, they can be connected as is. There are 31 slots numbered 1 to 31.

*When sensors over the initial setting (use of multiple sensors of the same type) are used, they must be registered at the sensor menu (p.138).
