Futaba GY611 - Manual (Page 5)

Always use the accessory sensor tape to install the sensor
to the fuselage.
· This is necessary to securely fasten the sensor to the fuselage so that operation of
the gyro does not transmit unwanted fuselage vibrations directly to the sensor.
When mounting the sensor, provide a little surplus so that
the sensor connection cables are not too taut.
· If the sensor cables are too taut, the gyro will not display its full performance. If the
sensor peels, control will be lost and result in a dangerous situation.
Mount the sensor and control amp so that metals or other
conductive objects do not touch these cases.
· The GY611 uses a conductive resin case to reduce electromagnetic interference. Be-
cause the surface of the case is conductive, metal objects may cause a short circuit.
Mount the sensor and servo at least 2cm apart.
When using a GV-1 governor, mount the sensor and GV-1
amp at least 5cm apart.
When using the GY611 with a motor-driven helicopter,
mount the sensor and drive motor at least 10cm apart.
· Noise from the servo motor, GV-1 amp and drive motor may cause the per-
formance of an erroneously operated gyro to drop.
Precautions When Turning on the Power Switch
During initialization, the message --Hello-- appears on the GY611
LCD screen.
Do not move the helicopter until this message disappears
(in about 3 seconds).
Also, do not move the transmitter rudder stick from the
neutral position during this period.
Always check the direction of operation of the servos.
·If you attempt to fly the model when a servo operates in the wrong direction, the
fuselage will spin in a fixed direction and enter an extremely dangerous state.
When the rudder neutral position was changed by the link-
age, the rudder neutral position in the AVCS mode must
always be re-read before use.
