Charging transmitter and "receiver batteries ‘At the very latest the transmitter must be re-charged when it fives off an audible signal, and. whea the display indicates FLOWBATT" (&.5 volts), Regardless of this, wansmitter and. receiver batteries should be topped up al a rate of Y/10 for a minimum of 14 hours belore each use (e.g. noanal charge, fratiery 1400 mA, charge current 1/10. = 140 mA). This procedure should be followed regardless Of Tih BF tink tie battery was previously in use. This helps to balanéé out the ‘constant tendency of batteries to self-discharge. On average, rica batteries self-discharge a rate of 1 % per day, ie. after TORO days, a battery which was fully charged will fave completely discharged, without ever having being used. First connect the banana elip on the charge lead tothe charge then eonnect the chagge leat connectors to the transmitter and Ding. Generally, chargers are Fitied with LEDs to indicate that ‘charging is taking place. While the LEDs on the changer are glowing, the batteries are being charged. Depending on the type of charger you have. it is possible 10 charge the ransmnitter and receiver batteries cither separately oF simultancously. robe offer a wide range af chargers, and we recommend one of these, eg. the robbe Lader St charger, Onter No. 8308, and the use of charge leads No, PI415 aad P1416 (if aot already included! in the set, Charging time For nicad batteries, the initial charge should be at 140 mA, and take 24 hours. After this, the batteries must always be topped up before they are used, The charg minimum of 14 hours at 140 mA (1400 mA battery), or 18 hours at 140 mA (1800 mA battery), Charging: ws(Charging transmitter and receiver batteriewtransmitter FC2RV3 ‘currents is known as “normal charging” or charging at at rate (of 1/10, Altera ong period of storage, i. after buying them or after the wister beeak, charge and discharge (operate transmitter and receiver) your batteries two or three times before using then, Only then will they have attained ther Full capacity and operating times, Ifa switeh harness with charge socket is tobe insialled in a model, connest the charge lead as shown in diag. 1, ‘This will mean that the hatery ean Be left in the model for charging.

This has the Advantage that even if one battery cell fails (ether though Short circuit or becuse i is discharged) te receiver unit wal normally continue to function, as robbe-Futaba servos are not ifected by this reduction in vollage, they just work more Slowly, and with reduced torque. This is very important in winter when the outside temperature is very tow, or when piloting « helicopter, so that momentary drops in vollage do hot have any serious effect. Av a rest, however, it 15 also possible tha the file of the battery cell will not even be hoticed. For this resten, it i impomant to check the receivet ‘baticry from time to time, With PCM receivers, the Fail Safe low voltage monitar will indicate that baltery cell has filed (age 60), Receiver installation Always pack the ressiver and transmitter batteries in thick foun rubber 10 protect them fom vibration.

The receiver acrial must be extended an a straight Tine, and be kept as far away as possible from electric motor serves, power lines or metal control surface linkages, Th mode aircraft, the acial should be led out of the fuselage by the most, ute, and be tensioned 10 the horizontal stabilizer by ‘means of a small rubber band. Add a reinforcement, eg. piece of fucl tubing, 0 the serial at the point where it leaves the fuselage, to provide strain relief and to prevent it from bending. “The roceiver aerial must not be shortened. Any reduction in its length will edace effective radio range.

In glow motor powered models, always install the switch on the opposite side to the ‘exhaust, to prevent the ingress of oil. Tf exiremely long serve teads are being used, e.g. if aileron servor have been mounted in the wings, its possible that these tunusualy long leads could fead to problems with recxption, For this reason, whenever servo leads are longer than approx. ‘50 em, please at least use twisted eable. Order No. F 1452005. Ins better, however, if suppressor filters, Order No. F 1413, are installed elose to the receiver. Initial operation, test First switch ON the transminer, then the receiver. After the receiver has bsen switched on, the servos should take up th neutral positions, Test every function by operaiing the transmitter controls and sticks. ‘When the servos have been connected to the consrel surfaces, check the operation of the individual functions. If any control surface moves in the wrong direction, reverse the polurity of the servo cancemed according to the instructions given on page 18, meria 12 "servo reverse”. Ifthe rudder stick is moved to the “RIGHT, then the rudder must actually deflect to the “RIGHT”. Make sure that each servo can operate through its full travel ‘without any mechanical limitation caused by steering or the Linkages, thus guarding againet high power consumption. This appli to the carburetor linkages in particular, Watch out for clicking impulses which may be caused by metal friction (in the Control surface linkages, for example) due to vibration, As these clicking impulses must be avoided, carburettor linkages shoukl alway's be plastic clevises, never connect a metal steerage clement directly to the carburetior ever without insulation, Electric motors must be suppressed, otherwise the sparking which oceurs between the armature and carhon brushes could ‘emise considerable disturbance to the rao control system. We recommend using suppressor filters No. 8306, No. 8307, oF No, 4008, Every motar - with the exception of robbe-Keller and robbe Pro motors, which have already been suppressed - must be suppressed separately Operation While piloting your model, do not pol she transmitter arial directly atthe model in this direction, the transmitter produces only iininwm field strength, The best results are achieved when the acrial held sideways on to the mexicl. If sever! pilots are operating their models at the same time, then the pilots should all stand together in a loosely-knit group. Any pilot who insists on standing well off to one se crdangers m0 just his own model, but also those of the ther pilots. ‘Always test the range, not only when starting a new model fer the first ume, in onder 19 prevent crashes, The distance to the model should be at least 0 ai wath a retracted transmiter aerial, subject to perfect eperation of the receiver equipment Motorized models should be tested with the engine runing. 50 that any problems caused by vibration can be spotted. Never start model if there is a problem for which she reason has not been located.4.
