The three defined operating settings in the
‘
tow release
off’ modus
are:
•
Position 1 (back): ORBIS retracted & motor off for gliding.
•
Position 2 (centre): ORBIS extended & motor off .
•
Position 3 (in front): ORBIS extended & motor slowly acce
lerating in the ‘Automatic
throttle control’ operation mode or ready for the manual throttle signal.
The three defined operating settings in the
‘
tow release
on’ modus
are:
•
Position 1 (back): Tow release locked & ORBIS retracted & motor off for gliding.
•
Position 2 (centre): Tow release unlocked & v retracted & motor off for gliding.
•
Position 3 (in front): ORBIS extended & motor on for the motorized climb or ready for
the manual throttle signal after extension.
The three operating conditions of the
3-way-switch
must correspond to certain servo positions, since
the Merbold controller switches on two predefined signal values:
•
Switch from position 1 to position 2 at 1300 ms receiver pulse length.
•
Switch from position 2 to position 3 at 1700 ms
receiver pulse length.
3.3. Programming of the receiver
Important note for Jeti systems
Please make the servo pulse length of the Jetisystem is set to 20ms. A smaller or larger pulse length
may results in malfunction of the Merbold controller.
The
fail-safe adjustment
has to be the following:
The receiver fail-safe adjustment for the
3-way-switch
channel must be put on
‚hold the last
valid signal’
on the receiver. This assures that the last valid operation condition of the ORBIS and
that no unexpected behaviour of the ORBIS happens.
The receiver fail-safe adjustment for the
elevator
signal channel must be also
put on ‚
hold the last
valid signal
’ on the receiver. This assures that the last valid signal for the elevator remains. This is
important when the ORBIS is running because you will need a different elevator adjustment.
The receiver fail-safe adjustment for the
flaps and retract
channel must be also
put on ‚
hold the last
valid signal
’ on the receiver.
The
side rudder
and the
ailerons
must fail safe in
neutral position
.
3.4. Installation and adjustment of the Jeti MEZON 135 Opto controller
The Jeti MEZON 135 Opto controller is always connected to the male connector 2 of the
Merbold Controller.
This is also the case when you want to use the ‘Speed Automatic Off’
