Futaba GYC430 - Manual

 WARNING
Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in severe injury
to yourself and others.

Check that there is sufficient transmitter battery capacity .
 Analog servos cannot be used while in "digital servo"
mode.
• Analog servos may break down if "digital servo" mode is selected.
 Do not operate the model and transmitter steering wheel
for about 3-5 seconds after turning on the GYC430 (When
shared with the receiver).
• GYC430 initialization and neutral position reading. The GYC430 is initialized when
the power is turned on. In the AVCS mode, the neutral position is also read at the
same time. If initialization ends normally, the operator is informed by two repetitive
movements of the servo to the left and right.
 Always check the direction of operation of the gyro.
 Do not strike the gyro with a hard object. Do not drop it
onto a concrete surface or other hard floor.
• The sensor may become damaged during strong impacts.
 Do not use trims or mixing in AVCS mode.
• In the AVCS mode all corrections are made by the gyro. Therefore, if trimming and
mixing, are turned on, operation will be the same as deviating from the neutral po-
sition.
 Do not use the GYC430 for applications other than RC cars.
•This gyro is designed for RC cars only. Do not use it for other applications.

Use the a included double-sided sponge tape to firmly attach the gyro perpendicular to the control axis, at a
position where there is as little vibration as possible. Make the wiring loose and bundle it with the included
magic strap so that it will not interfere with the rod.
Gyro mounting position
The direction of rotation fixed by the gyro can be
any direction within 360° relative to the steering
axis controlled by the gyro.
• No part of this manual may be reproduced in any form without
prior permission.
• The contents of this manual are subject to change without prior
notice.
• Futaba is not liable for any potential damage (accidental or
otherwise) that may occur after installation.
Before using your new gyro, please read this manual thoroughly
and use the gyro properly and safely. After reading this manual,
store it in a safe place.
● Dedicated RC car setting
Vehicle straightness and cornering performance can be increased without
taking into account the effect of the road surface, etc.
● Remote gain function and mode switching function
You can adjust gain from the transmitter (3 or more CH) by using the
remote gain function. Gain can also be adjusted with the trimmer on the
GYC430. The mode switching function allows AVCS/NORMAL gyro
mode switching.
● Integrated, compact,and light weight
Compact size（20.5x20.5x11mm）and light weight（3.5g）realized
by high density mounting technology.
● Easy setup
The GYC430 can be used immediately with minimum setup.
● Supporting the S.BUS/S.BUS2 connection
Only one wire connection to the receiver can operate the GYC430.

Thank you for purchasing the GYC430
RC cars gyro. Compact and lightweight,
the GYC430 is designed to RC cars
steering control. If the transmitter has
3 or more channels (capable of 3CH
adjustment) the gyro sensitivity can be
adjusted from the transmitter. Features
include simple set-up and S.BUS/S.BUS2
connectivity.
