User manual SANWA RDS8000FHSS

[. . . ] In designing the RDS8000FHSS we have made every effort to provide you with a radio that will allow you to extract the maximum performance from your powered aircraft, sailplane, or helicopter, while at the same time simplifying the task of setting up and adjusting your model. These instructions are written in great detail to help you understand what all of your RDS8000FHSS capabilities are. Because of the many features of the RDS8000FHSS, this manual is quite long. To actually use the system, you may only need to read the INTRODUCTION section, the Common Functions section, and study the section that applies to your type of aircraft. [. . . ] With these servos, mechanical adjustment was the only method available to ensure proper operation of the retracts. Airtronics now offers a high Torque PROPORTIONAL retract servo, p/n 94739. With this servo and the RDS8000FHSS transmitters, End Point Adjustments for the retract servo are possible, independently setting the "Down" and "UP" lock positions in mechanical retracts, and precise adjustment of the air valve in pneumatic retracts. To use this function, select the EPA function as shown on the previous screen. Press the (CH +) key to scroll across the Channel indicator on the screen until you reach G (Landing Gear). Note that you must set the value for UP and Down landing gear by use of the INC +/YES and DEC -/NO keys. Activate the Landing Gear toggle switch located on the upper left top of the transmitter when setting the values for the Landing Gear. The default values for Landing Gear are ­125% and +125%. To restore the landing gear channel to the default values, press the INC and DEC keys simultaneously. Press the END key to return to the STW screen. 37 TRM (TRIM MEMORY) The RDS8000FHSS offers the Trim Memory Function on all four of the flight control channels and the Flap Channel. Trim Memory for Elevator, Aileron, Throttle, and Rudder is input by the Digital Trim keys. It can also be set when you use the INC +/YES or DEC -/NO keys to input trim. Any trim that you set while your model is in flight by use of the Digital Trim keys will automatically be stored in memory for that specific channel and model. Note that the default setting is ­100%. Range of adjustment is from -150% to +150%. Press either the INC +/YES or the DEC -/NO key to change the value and / or polarity of the function. The FLAP/FL-EL switch located on the top-right of the transmitter activates the Flaperons. To disable the Flap switch, set the Flap EPA at 0%. Note that if the ailerons go up when the Flap switch is activated, change the polarity of the programmed value. Use the FLAP TRM (trim) function to fine tune flap operation. 40 ALARMS D/R-A(DUAL RATE ALARM) THROTTLE STICK HIGH The RDS8000FHSS offers an "ALARM" function to warn you if you turn your transmitter on while a Dual Rate Switch is activated, and another to warn you if you turn the transmitter on while the Throttle Stick is in any position other than FullLow throttle. Will be displayed on the LCD screen until you place the Throttle stick in the full-low position. To activate the D/R-A (Dual Rate alarm), press the (CH ­) or the (CH +) key to select "etc" on the Channel indicator. Press the FUNCTION down key several times to scroll down the menu items and select the D/R-A screen. Next, press either the INC +/YES or the DEC -/NO key to set D/R-A to ACTive. If a Dual Rate switch is in the ON position when you turn ON the transmitter, an audio tone signal of 3 beeps will occur approximately every 15 seconds until you turn off a dual rate switch. If you wish, you can turn off the Dual Rate alarm by pressing either the INC +/YES or the DEC -/NO key to change D/RA to INHibit. Note that the High Throttle Stick alarm is always active. [. . . ] The three servos are mixed in various ways to obtain the control response that is needed for Aileron, Elevator and Pitch control. The RDS8000FHSS can control the following types: NOR CP3F CP3B CP4F CP4B Normal type. The elevator, aileron and pitch servos are independent of each other on the receiver channls. Three joint balls are located in a triangle. [. . . ]
