GOVERNOR
The AXON includes an internal governor, suitable for electric and gasser/nitro use, which takes over the rpm control from the external
governors/ESCm and is able to do this with high efciency due to additional information about the current ight status.
For use with electric helis, either a special, separately available sensor (see accessories) needs to be used, which will simply be run
over one of the motor wires, or use a standard hall sensor with corresponding magnet.
For use with gasser/nitro helis, always use a standard hall sensor.
The parameter „Control gain“ is banked and thus can be set separate for each bank in the software.
ATTENTION:
• In combination with a Kontronik ESC, this needs to be set to Mode 2 (normal throttle mode), as otherwise parts in the ESC’s control
may act strangely!
• The internal governor needs to see a jump on the throttle curve to activate correctly. So do not programm a ramp, but only straights
in the radio‘s throttle menu!
Conguration options in the software
The governor can be activated and deactivated as well as congured via software.
Waiting Time:
For gasser/nitro and electric in normal throttle mode, always set to ‚4‘.
For electric with soft spool-up from the ESC, set this parameter to the ESC‘s spool-up time, plus 4s buffer to make sure the nal rpm
is properly detected.
Important:
The heli must not be lifted off before the dened rpm is reached and therefore the internal rpm logging process has acknowledged
the rpm. Too early a load, and the resulting drop in rpm, would lead to an inaccurate detection and the internal governor might not
work correctly.
Stop Position (Electric only):
Denes the motor‘s OFF position.
Spool-Up Time:
With gasser/nitro (or ESC without own soft start), this is where you dene the spool-up time, meaning the time from powering on until
reaching the set rpm.
For electric with external soft spool-up in the ESC, this must be set to ‚0‘. Otherwise the start of the spool-up would be delayed by the
time set in here.
Important:
This is mandatory for gasser/nitro, no delay must be used from the radio! A signal jump must be detected.
Increased Idle Position (gasser/nitro only):
At this point the internal ramp-up will be started, as dened in „Spool-Up Time“.
Max. Throttle Position (gasser/nitro only):
Must be set to the throttle servo‘s maximum position, to achieve full throttle of the motor.
