Symbols Danger Explanation Indicates a procedure which could lead to a dangerous situ-

ation and may cause death or serious injury if ignored and not performed properly. Warning Indicates procedures which may lead to dangerous situa-

tions and could cause death or serious injury as well as su-

perficial injury and physical damage. Caution Indicates procedures that may not cause serious injury, but could lead to physical damage. Symbols:

; Prohibited

; Mandatory High Response System (H.R.S) Precautions Caution Mandatory Procedures In case of the High Response System (H.R.S) receiver R203HF, always use only the following conditions:

Servo; 6V type Digital Servo only Power supply; 6V Nicd battery Transmitter setting; "HRS" mode If the conditions are different, control is impossible. And Fail Safe Unit (FSU1) is not available. 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 6 Operation Precautions Warning Prohibited Procedures Do not operate two or more models on the same frequency at the same time. Operating two or more models at same time on the same frequency will cause interference and loss of control of both models. AM, FM (PPM) and PCM are different methods of modulation. Nonetheless the same frequency can not be used at the same point in time, regard-

less of the signal format. Do not operate outdoors on rainy days , run through puddles of water or when visibility is limited. Should any type of moisture (water or snow) enter any compoent of the system, erratic opreation 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 rowboats are present.

-Near high tension power lines or communi-

cation broadcasting antennas. Interference could cause loss of control . Improper in-

stallation 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 influence of alcohol or drugs. Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dan-

gerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself as well as others. Mandatory Procedures 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 Extend the transmit-

ter antenna to its full length. If the transmitter antenna is not fully extended the operating range of the radio will be re-

duced. Always perform a operating range check prior to use. Problems with the radio control system as well as im-

proper installation in a model could cause loss of con-

trol.

(Simple range test method) Have a friend hold the model, or clamp it down or place it where the wheels or prop can not come in contact with any object. Walk away and check to see if the servos follow the movement of the con-

trols on the transmitter. Should you notice any ab-

normal operation, Do not operate the model. Also check to be sure the model memory matches the model in use. Check the transmitter antenna to be sure it is not loose. If the transmitter antenna works loose, or is discon-

nected while the model is running signal transmission will be lost. This will cause you to lose control of the model.. 7 Caution Prohibited Procedures 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. Mandatory Procedures 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 en-

gine not running or the motor disconnected. You may unexpectedly lose control and create a dangerous situation. When operating your model always display a frequency flag on your transmitter an-

tenna. When adjusting the transmitter on land while preparing to run (cruise), take measures so that the wind will not knock over the transmitter. If the transmitter is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally set to the operating position and you may lose control.

(Fail safe function) ---H.R.S or PCM mode only 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 reception 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 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 Nicad Battery Handling Precautions

(Only when Nicad batteries are used) Warning Mandatory Procedures Always check to be sure your batter-

ies have been charged prior to oper-

ating the model. To recharge the transmitter Nicad , use the special charger made for this purpose. Should the battery go dead while the model is operat-

ing loss of control will occur and create a very danger-

ous situation. Overcharging could cause the Nicad battery to over-

heat, leak or explode. This may lead to fire, burns, loss of sight and many other type's of injuries. When the model is not being used, always remove or disconnect the Nicad battery . Should the battery be left connected this could create a dangerous situation if someone accidentally turns on the receiver power switch. Loss of control would occur. Special Charger Caution Prohibited Items Do not use commercial AA size Nicad batteries. Quick charging may cause the battery contacts to overheat and damage the battery holder. Use prohibited Nicad AA size batteries. Do not drop the Nicad battery or ex-

pose it to strong shocks or vibrations. The battery may short circuit and overheat, electrolyte may leak out and cause burns or chemical damage. 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 short circuit the Nicad battery terminals. Causing a short circuit across the battery terminals may cause abnormal heating, fire and burns. Shock Prohibited 9 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 Storage and Disposal Precautions Warning Prohibited Procedures Do not leave the radio system or models within the reach of small chil-

dren. A small child may accidentally operate the system, this could cause a dangerous situation and injuries. Nicad batteries can be very dangerous when mis-

handled and cause chemical damage. Do not throw Nicad batteries into a fire. Do not expose Nicad batteries to extreme heat. Also do not disas-

semble or modify a Nicad battery pack. Overheating and breakage will cause the electrolyte to leak from the cells and cause skin burns, loss of sight as well as other injuries. Mandatory Procedures When the system will not be used for any length of time store the system with 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 nicad bat-

tery may considerably reduce the capacity . A reduc-

tion in operating time will occur even when the batter-

ies are charged for the recommended time.

<Nicad Battery Electrolyte>

The electrolyte in Nicad batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in your eyes, DO NOT RUB, wash immedi-

ately with water, seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can cause blind-

ness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water immediately. Caution Prohibited Procedures Mandatory Procedure 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 deformation and numerous problems with opreation. If the system will not be used for a long period of time remove the batter-

ies from the transmitter and model and store in a cool dry place. If the batteries are left in the transmitter electrolyte may leak and damage the transmitter. This applies to the model also, remove the batteries from it also to prevent damage.

<Nicad Battery Recycling>

A used Nicad battery is valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and dispose the battery by taking it to a battery recycling center. 10 Other Precautions Caution Prohibited Procedures Do not expose plastic parts to fuel, motor spray, waste oil or exhaust. The fuel, motor spray, waste oil and exhaust will pen-

etrate and damage the plastic. Mandatory Procedures Always use only genuine Futaba transmitters, receivers, servos, FET a m p s

( e l e c t r o n i c s p e e d controls),Nicad 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 specified in the instruction manual and catalog. 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 11 Before Using Features

- High Response System (H.R.S. system) When used with the H.R.S. system, a speed of triple that of an FM system at average response is realized. (Comparison with other Futaba products) The T3PK transmitter is compatible with the H.R.S. system, PCM1024 system, and PPM (FM) system.

- 128x64 dot large graphic LCD/with backlighting EXP curve, throttle curve, servo view, and other graph display and function selection can batch display simple menus and function setup items, and data setup is easy. Backlighting that can be turned ON/OFF also improves recognition at indoor cir-

cuits, etc.

- 10 models memory/+ 10 models by using a data pack Model names can use up to 10 letters, numbers, and symbols so that easily under-

stood names can be set. Model copy function simplifies creation of a model memory with different fine setups. An additional 10 models memory can be added by using the optional data pack (DP-16K).

- Two function selection modes: Menu selection and direct call Setup screens are called from a menu screen. The menu screen can be selected from among 3 levels (LV1/LV2/LV3) to match the level of use. Frequently used (high urgency) functions can be quickly called by assigning them to direct call buttons.

Installation When An FET Amp Is Used (MC800CFET Amp) Installation For Gas Powered Models n o i t a l l a t s n I 27 Installation Safety Precautions Warning Connector Connections Electronic speed control Be sure the receiver, servo, crystal and connectors are fully and firmly connected. If vibration from the model cause a connector to work loose while the model is in operation. You may lose control . Receiver Vibration Damping and Waterproofing

(Car) Dampen the vibration to the receiver by mounting to the chassis or mount-

ing plate with thick double sided tape in electric powered models. In gas powered models wrap the receiver in foam and mount it where the vibration is the least prevalent.

(Boat) Dampen the vibration to the receiver by wrapping it in foam. Waterproof by placing it in plastic bag or watertight radio box in model. If the receiver is subjected to strong vibration or shock erratic or loss of control may occur. If any moisture comes in contact the receiver and servos you may expertise the same result as well as damage to the system. Receiver Antenna Do not cut or bundle the receiver an-

tenna Do not bundle the receiver antenna together with the servo lead wires Keep the receiver antenna at least 1 inch away from the motor and battery and wires that handle heavy current loads.. Cutting, bundling or routing the receiver antenna near any devise that produce noise will reduce the operat-

ing range of the system and result in loss of control.

*Also route the receiver antenna away from metal, carbon fiber and other parts that conduct electric-

ity. These parts can transmit high frequency noise. Install the heat sinks where they will not come in contact with aluminum, carbon fiber or other parts that con-

duct electricity. If the FET Amp (Electronic speed control) heat sinks touch other materials that conduct electricity a short circuit could occur. This could result in loss of control and damage to the system. Servo Throw Operate each servo over its full stroke and be sure the linkage does not bind or is loose. The continuous application of unreasonable force to a servo may cause damage and excessive battery drain. Servo Installation When you install the servos always use the rubber grommets provided in servo hardware bags. Mount the ser-

vos so they do not directly come in contact with the mount. If the servo case comes in direct contact with the mount vibration will be directly transmitted to the servo. If this condition continues for a long time the servo may be damaged and control will be lost. Motor Noise Suppression Always install capacitors to suppress noise when electric motors are used. If capacitors are not properly installed you could ex-

perience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control. Other Noise Suppression Methods Be sure there are no metal parts in your model which under vibration can come in contact with other metal parts. Metal to metal contacts under vibration will omit a high frequency noise that will effect the receivers perfor-

mance. You could experience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control. I n s t a l l a t i o n 28 Initial Set-Up Preparations (Transmitter) Before setting the transmitter functions, check and set items 1 to 3 below.

(Display when power switch turned on) When the power switch is turned on, the currently selected model number is dis-

played. Check if this number is the model number you want to set-up. To change the model number, use the Model Select function (page ). Turn on the transmitter power.

(Start screen) The model number is displayed. 1. RF Output Check If signals are output normally, RF output monitor "RF"

will be displayed on the screen. If RF is not displayed, check if the transmitter crystal and RF module are installed. If the transmitter is abnormal or faulty, contact your Futaba dealer. p U

(PPM) 2. Modulation Mode Check The T3PK transmitter output signal format can be changed to match the type of receiver. Check if the modulation mode is set to match the receiver used. When using an FM receiver (e.g., R133F), the modula-

tion mode must be set to PPM. When using a PCM re-

ceiver (e.g., R113iP), the modulation mode must be set to PCM. When using a H.R.S receiver (e.g., R203HF), the modulation mode must be set to HRS. If this setting is incorrect, change it with the HRS/PCM/PPM Select

(page ) function. 3. Trims Initial Set-Up

- Steering trim (DT1) check At initial set-up, steering trim is assigned to digital trim DT1 above the steering wheel. Operate the DT1 lever and check if the steering trim display on the screen changes. After checking the trim, set the trim display to the center (N) position.

- Throttle trim (DT2) check At initial set-up, throttle trim is assigned to digital trim DT2 at the left side of the steering wheel. Operate the DT2 lever and check if the throttle trim display on the screen changes. After checking the trim, set the trim display to the center (N) position. I n i t i a l S e t

U p 30

- Steering dual rate (DL1) check At initial set-up, steering dual rate is assigned to grip dial DL1 (upper) at the grip of the transmitter. Operate the DL1 dial and check if the D/R value displayed on the screen changes. After checking D/R, set the steer-

ing dual rate to 100%.

- Throttle ATL (DL2) check At initial setting, throttle ATL is assigned to grip dial DL2 (lower) at the grip of the transmitter. Operate the DL2 dial and check if the ATL value displayed on the screen changes. After checking ATL, set throttle ATL to 100%.

(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. Perform step 3. Trims Initial Set-Up of Preparations on the preceding page. 2. Set the servo direction of operation using the Reverse function. (Page ) The servo installation method and linkage direction depends on the kit. Therefore, the servo operation direction may have to be reversed relative to transmitter operation. Before in-

stalling the servo, check the operating direction and set it us-

ing the Reverse function. 3. Set the subtrim and adjust the servo neutral point. (Page ) 4. Set the trigger travel by adjusting the throttle trigger me-

chanical ATL to you liking. (Page ) 5. Set EPA of each channel and adjust the servo throw

(travel). (Pages ) p U

- Corrects the maximum steering angle and left and right steering angles when there is a difference in the turning radius due to the characteristics, etc. of the vehicle. Maximum steering angle The EPA function basically determines the maximum steering angle of each channel. The functions shown below may have been adjusted or the operating range set by EPA 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)

- Throttle preset (throttle) ATL trim ATL trim allows adjustment of the brake side operation amount during operation. Therefore, when the operating angle is adjusted with throttle EPA, ATL trim must also be taken into account. Remark When the steering angle is insufficient even though EPA is increased to maximum

(120%), the steering angle can be increased somewhat by using program mixing.

(Setup example: See page .) WARNING

! Make sure that the knuckle stopper is not contacted during steering operation and that unreasonable force is not applied to the servo during other channel opera-

tion. If unreasonable force is applied to the servo horn at the knuckle stopper during steering operation, the servo may malfunction and the model may run out of control. B e s ure th at th e ste erin g s erv o d o e s n ot h o wl. C a utio n!

(Reference data)

- PM1->ON

- MST (master channel) -> ST Mixing is applied from steering

- SLV (slave channel) ->ST Mixing is applied to steering and the travel is increased.

- RIGH -> 10% [When subtrim is centered (0%)]

- LEFT -> 10% [When subtrim is centered (0%)]

- Trm -> OFF

- OFS -> 0%

- MXMD -> MIX Zone over which servo does not operate Full left Full right However, the operating range of the servo is exceeded even if a large value is input at RIGH and LEFT and a zone over which the servo does not operate even when the wheel is moved to the left or right is created. A zone over which the servo does not operate is also generated at the moving side when the subtrim is moved to the left and right. Therefore, set the RIGH and LEFT value by checking servo operation. When the throttle servo travel is insufficient at ATL 100% and EPA120%, the same action can be performed by making TH (throttle) both the MST and SLV when steer-

ing. When both steering and throttle operations are performed, use both PROG MIX1 and PROG MIX2 program mixing. F u n c t i o n s 68 Boat mode/BOAT MODE (Steering system/throttle system) Stopping of brake side operation When brake operation is unnecessary with a boat, etc., only brake operation can be stopped. Tilt mixing This mixing uses an outboard engine with a boat, etc. and applies mixing of both directions from rudder (steering) to 3rd channel and from 3rd channel to rudder and allows rudder operation and tilt mixing using 2 servos. Rudder operation by steering wheel and tilt mixing by 3rd channel knob are possible. Effect of set value of other functions The steering side EPA function, ST-EXP function, ST-SPEED function, or ST-D/R function setting are effective even at 3rd channel side operation. However, the 3rd channel is not reversed even if the reverse function is set at the steering side. Slave channel output (Initial value) Steering > 3rd channel side: +100%

3rd channel > Steering side: -100%

(This function can only be used with HRS or PCM1024 system receivers.) Fail safe function This function moves the steering, throttle and channel 3 servos to a preset position when the receiver cannot receive the signal from the transmitter for some reason. When the servo operation position is not set, this function operates so that the servos remains in the position they were in immediately before reception was lost. When the signal from the transmitter can be received again, this function automatically resets..

- For gasoline engine cars, it is recommended that the throttle channel be set to the direction that applies the brakes.

- When the transmitter power is turned on, the transmitter transfers the fail safe data to the receiver and continues to transfer the data every minute thereafter. Note that data for about 1 minute after the receiver power is turned on is not transferred because usually, the transmitter power is turned on first and the receiver power is turned on next. Battery fail safe function When the receiver battery voltage drops to a certain voltage or less, this function moves the throttle servo to the position set by fail safe function. When the voltage recovers, this function automatically resets. Battery fail safe function ON/OFF switching (PCM only) Battery fail safe function ON/OFF can be set by transmitter side setting. Also, with an HRS system, the battery fail safe function cannot be turned OFF. button to or Use the select the setup item.
