Push switch 3 (PS3) DEFAULT ASSIGNMENT TABLE The factory default functions activated by the switches and knobs are shown below. Default assignments may be changed using the FUNC-DIAL and FUNC-SW programming (See pp. 34-35. ) Features assigned to DL1, 2, 3, and DT1, 2, 3 are displayed at all times on right side of LCD screen. Display switch Precautions when turning the power switch on and off. When the data is changed using the edit keys or trim levers, wait at least two seconds before turning off the power. [. . . ] Switch assignment (to change from primary dual rate to second dual rate): Must be set using FUNC-SW, see pp. Default: no dual rate switch assigned; 2nd dual rate is not usable until a switch is assigned. Rate adjustment: Both primary rate and 2nd rate adjustments may be assigned to any dial/digital trim (see FUNC-DIAL, pp. 34-35) to allow adjustment while driving. If no dial/trim is assigned, then adjustments are made only within the D/R function. Defaults: D/R on dial 1, 2nd D/R not assigned. · · · INTERACTIONS: EPA affects total travel available to steering servo. Both dual rates are directly proportional to the total EPA. Exponential adjusts how much the servo is moved around center without having any effect on the servo travel at full stick; dual rate uniformly decreases the servo's movement all along the travel. Speed Limiter slows how quickly the servo moves to a certain point without decreasing its overall travel rather than decreasing the servo's movement to decrease its sensitivity. · · · DESIRED END RESULT: Quickly adjust steering overall sensitivity with a dial while driving on the track; have a second travel rate available for unusual situations, such as a crash. CAUTION: Dual rate is active as a default and is adjusted from normal setting (100%) with dial 1 unless it is reassigned by the user. 38 GOAL: While using LV3: Reassign digital trim 1 to the dual rate adjustment; Assign dual rate switching to switch 1; Adjust 2nd dual rate to slightly less than maximum (95%) for quick steering to get out of tight spots. (If using LV1 or LV2, first change level selection, see p. 12. ) STEPS: Use FUNC-DIAL to assign dual rate to digital trim 1. INPUTS: · · · 9 steps to DT1. 12 steps to D/R. Use FUNC-SW to assign dual rate switching to switch 1. to D/R 2nd. Select dual rate. Test the dual rate adjustment by moving digital trim 1. Move digital trim 1 counterclockwise; see the rate decrease on-screen. (Note that the rate per click can be adjusted in the function dial screen. ) to 95. Press switch 1 (below the wheel) and notice 2nd D/R Rate changes from OFF to ON, as primary rate changes from ON to OFF. Adjust 2nd dual rate down to 95%. Test the 2nd dual rate switch by pressing switch 1. Where Next: Adjust the steering servo's EPA (EPA): See p. Adjust steering channel exponential (ST-EXP): See p. 20. Adjust steering servo response speed (ST-SPEED): See p. Set up brake mixing for separate front/rear brakes (BRAKE-MIX): See p. [. . . ] This quick start guide assumes you are starting from a totally blank model setting, and are in the highest-complexity setting, LV 3, until changed within the guide. For more details on each function, see the page # referenced in each step. (Example: Change from model 1 to model 3. ) (See p. 14. ) Open menu system, locate and select MDL-SEL. [. . . ]
