Fail Safe/Battery Fail Safe Function "F/S" (All channel)
(This function can only be used with HRS or PCM1024 system receivers.)
Fail safe function
This function moves the steering, throttle and channel 3 servos to a preset position when
the receiver cannot receive the signal from the transmitter for some reason.
When the servo operation position is not set, this function operates so that the servos
remains in the position they were in immediately before reception was lost. When the
signal from the transmitter can be received again, this function automatically resets..
- For gasoline engine cars, it is recommended that the throttle channel be set to the direction that applies
the brakes.
- When the transmitter power is turned on, the transmitter transfers the fail safe data to the receiver and
continues to transfer the data every minute thereafter. Note that data for about 1 minute after the receiver
power is turned on is not transferred because usually, the transmitter power is turned on first and the re-
ceiver power is turned on next.
Battery fail safe function
When the receiver battery voltage drops to a certain voltage or less, this function moves
the throttle servo to the position set by fail safe function. When the voltage recovers, this
function automatically resets.
Battery fail save function ON/OFF can be set at the transmitter.
For HRS system, this function cannot be turned off.
When electric motor car power, especially the receiver power, is supplied from a com-
mon power supply which is supplied from MC, we recommend that this function be
turned off because the receiver voltage may drop momentarily and the battery fail safe
function may be activated. (For HRS system, the fail safe function is turned off.)
Battery fail safe function ON/OFF switching (PCM only)
The screen which is displayed depends on
the mode (HRS, PCM). The screen shown
below is the PCM mode display screen.
The battery fail safe setting is
displayed in the PCM mode only.
