Futaba 9VAP - Manual (Page 3)

•FEATURES
The PCM1024A was specially-developed to meet the needs of the serious and demanding
R/C hobbyist. Numerous features make this system adaptable to a wide variety of complex
radio control stunt and scale aircraft. This is the most advanced system available for FAI
Precision Acrobatic (F3A) competition. The built-in microprocessor utilizing PCM (Pulse
Code Modulation) makes this set very versatile and extremely noise and deadpoint resistant.
Please read this manual carefully before using your set.
TRANSMITTER FP-T9VAP
• Programming data is displayed pictorially and
graphically on a large, easy-to-read LCD
(Liquid Crystal Display) panel. Programming
and Cursor keys allow convenient adjustment
of aircraft functions.
•"1024" Channel Resolution: New 1024 PCM
encoder format provides unexcelled servo reso-
lution and response time.
• RF module uses a narrow band modulation
circuit and PCM transmission.
• Precise control is made possible by.. three dif-
ferent endpoint adjustment functions: Adjust-
able Travel Volume (ATV), Adjustable Func-
tion Rate (AFR), and Adjustable Trim Rate.
• Dual Rates, Exponential, and Variable Trace
Rate (VTR) functions provide unlimited flexi-
bility in "fine tuning" aircraft control response.
• Numerous special control mixing functions
have been refined for FAI R/C aerobatics
(F3A). Four programmable mixing circuits
provide tremendous versatility in adapting the
system to diverse and specialized applications.
•Throttle -> pitch control mixing circuit is
designed for use with variable-pitch propellers
to maximize engine performance and reduce
noise.
• Idle-Up lever: The engine idle speed can be
independently adjusted during throttle -> > pitch
control mixing.
•Pitch control lever: High pitch position on
variable-pitch propellers is trimmable with the
lever.
•Snap roll program allows four different pro-
grammable snap rolls to be performed at the
touch of a button.
• Programming for up to six different models (in-
cluding model name) can be stored in the trans-
mitter memory. Memorized data is protected
by a 5 year lithium battery.
• Accessory "sub-trimmers" are provided on the
transmitter front for convenient field adjust-
ment of frequently-used functions.
• Trim positions for each model can be memo-
rized by the Trim Memory function, allowing
the trim levers and sub trimmers to be returned
to neutral. Neutral positions can be reproduced
in the future, or copied onto another model
program if desired.
• The Tachometer function measures engine rpm
by means of a built-in sensor.
• Speed can be measured for 1 to 5 bladed
propellers.
• Digital alarm/timer has UP, DOWN, and
RHYTHMIC timing modes
• Integrating (Total) Timer monitors total trans-
mitter ON time.
• Ball bearing open gimbal sticks, angled switches,
and "human-engineered" transmitter case en-
hance the feeling of comfort and precision in
transmitter operation.
•"Quick Change" Nicd battery pack is easily
accessable by means of a convenient panel on
the transmitter back.
• Power Off function turns off the transmitter
power automatically if the controls are not
operated for 30 minutes.
• PCM or standard PPM operation can be se-
lected. (Allows operation of standard FM
receivers on the same frequency.)
• DSC (Direct Servo Control): The DSC cord
allows operation of all servos without turning
on the transmitter. The voltage of the trans-
mitter and receiver Nicd batteries can also be
read simultaneously using the cord.
• Servo reversing is available on all channels.
•Auto Dual Rate: If desired, aileron, elevator,
and rudder dual rate can be turned ON and
OFF automatically, according to throttle stick
position.
• Stick length and angle is easily adjusted.
• Knobs and levers are conveniently located.
