9 Multiengine Installation
For multiengine installation, first set up each motor as per manual, start and run each engine
separately. Then, when you are satisfied and your engines are starting and running smooth,
plug the throttle leads from each of the
I.C.S.
into a “Y” connector and plug that into your
throttle channel. Now both motors will start at the same time and shut down at the same time.
This is preferred over individual starting and is a simple way of assuring you’re taking off on
both motors!
Helpful Tips
If one
motor starts and the other doesn’t for any reason, just cycle the throttle again;
the one not running will re-start.
In multiengine installations always have each motor with its own complete fuel system.
As ECU has auto restart, if you need to shut down after the motors are running and
need to restart quickly, just raise the trim to the ready position and cycle the throttle,
when the auto cool down cycle gets the motor to a safe temperature the ECU will
restart the motors automatically.
Place on/off switche
s on the throttle lead before the “Y” connector that plugs the
ECU’s throttle channel into the receiver, this way you can shut off one motor or the
other on the ground or start one at a time by turning off the engine desired, it is also
helpful if you have
a “BAD START” on one motor to reset the ECU.
