rotating the Scroll Bar and clicking on it. The screen shows "Push MEMORY" as a reminder that the Fail Safe servo
positions have to be stored.
To store the Fail Safe position,
move
ALL
channels to the required Fail Safe position by moving the transmitter
sticks/switches/levers and store the setting by pressing the CLR key (adjacent to MEMO) on the left of the display screen.
Once stored, Fail Safe settings remain in effect until a new store (MEMO) operation is performed or the Model Memory is
reset.
Check the Fail Safe operation by operating the model and then switching the transmitter off. The servos will take up the
memorised Fail Safe positions.
Press the LIST key to return to the Function Menu. Press the enter (ENT) key to return to the Information Display Screen.
Trainer
The Function Menu List is accessed from the Information Display Screen by pressing the LIST key. From the Function
Menu List, rotate the Scroll Bar to highlight the "Trainer" menu choice and click the Scroll Bar..
The PCM9XII transmitter provides two separate types of trainer system - the Normal Trainer System where all functions
are controlled by either the Master transmitter or the Slave and the Programmable Function Trainer where one or more of
the four primary control functions may be assigned to the Slave individually. With the Programmable Function Trainer, all
set-up parameters such as Servo Reverse, Travel Adjust and any mixes, are taken from the Master transmitter. The
PCM9XII also has a special Slave mode where the modulation is automatically set to PPM and all of the control settings are
set to the default ready for use with the Programmable Function Trainer (P.F.T.)
Basic Connections and Conditions for Training
•
The Slave Transmitter must be set to PPM (Pulse Position Modulation) and have a DSC (Direct Servo Controller) jack.
•
The Slave Transmitter remains switched OFF. Although the screen lights, the transmitter does not transmit.
•
The Slave Transmitter must contain a charged battery even though it remains switched off.
•
The Slave settings must be identical to the Master for the Normal Trainer System.
•
The Slave settings must be reset (use Slave mode on PCM9XII) for the Programmable Function Trainer System.
The Trainer switch transfers control to the Slave (Student) when it is operated and returns control to the Master when it is
released.
Normal Trainer System
In this mode, all functions are switched from the Master to the Slave. No Master transmitter set-up is necessary. The Slave
transmitter’s Servo Reversing, Dual Rates, End Point Adjustment, Trim positions and all mixes must be identical to the
Master.
Correct operation can be checked on the ground by operating the Trainer System and confirming that the control surfaces
move the correct amount and in the correct direction. If the control surfaces move slightly as the Trainer switch is
operated, the Slave transmitter Trim position can be adjusted to prevent it.
Programmable Function Trainer (P.F.T.)
In this mode, the Master can assign functions to the Slave one at a time as an aid for the student. For example, the Master
might assign the Slave Rudder and Elevator control only. Thus, when the trainer switch is operated, the Slave controls the
Rudder and Elevator, while the Master continues to control the Throttle and Ailerons. Please note that all Servo reversing,
Travel Adjustments and mixes etc. will be taken from the Master Transmitter and the Slave Transmitter must be reset to its
default. This happens automatically when the PCM9XII is used in Slave mode. Due to slight errors in set-up, occasionally
there may be slight control surface deflection as the Trainer switch is operated. If this occurs, the movement should be
eliminated using the Slave Trims.
PCM9XII used as Master
To activate the Normal Trainer System:
No set-up is necessary, the Normal Trainer System is automatically activated.
