InFocus MaxFlight MT3000(B) - Manual (Page 29)

1-2M Encoders
All encoders (three) are the same. A 400 line, metal disc type. Power to them is from the computer, a 5
VDC signal powers the light diode that shines through the disc to a receiver diode.
1-2N Interface
Interface Control Boards are by Omnitech and located behind left front cabinetry.
1-2O Roll Slip Rings
Located between the weldment and the cockpit. Mounted over the roll shaft it passes the signal to the
cockpit. These units are sealed and no maintenance allowed.
1-2P Steering
Wheels/Throttle/Brake and HAAP Box (CIB1000) or( USB
UGCI) Interface
There are two steering wheels and two sets of Gas/Brake pedal units mounted on the
floor boards. These units interface to the HAAP (USB UGCI) controller installed beneath the
seat area. The HAAP box is powered by a DC eliminator transformer that is plugged into the AC
power strip. The USB interface is powered by the computer directly. The signals are transferred
to the CPU via a DH9 connector by way of the roll and pitch signal slip rings to the CPU Com#2
input to the mother board (Older Style Units). On later style units the signal is routed directly to
the computer along the USB bus cable. The controllers are calibrated within the window program
and Monster Truck program configuration windows. See setup instructions in Technical Section
starting at paragraph 5-20.
