Point N - Throttle failsafe
25.3 Point N - Throttle failsafe
At Menu Point N you program the failsafe position for the throttle channel. In case the
single-line signal is interrupted during operation the throttle servo/speed controller con-
nected to the [CH5] Output is automatically moved to this position. This particularly is
the case:
• if using a single-line receiver that turns of the single-line signal in case of signal loss be-
tween receiver and transmitter (e.g. Spektrum® satellite receiver or Graupner® receiver
in „SUMDOF“ mode)
• if the connection between MICROBEAST PLUS and receiver gets disconnected
• during initialization when the transmitter was not switched on before or was switched on
too late and the radio link between transmitter and receiver is not established yet
Additionally the failsafe position is used by the internal Governor function in case you're
using a helicopter with electric drive system. Here the throttle is moved to the stored
failsafe position when you set the Governor to Autorotation bailout mode!
Note:
• The fail-safe function is not effective if the receiver continues sending data even if the
radio link is interrupted. In this case the failsafe setting of the remote control system
may take precedence.
• To avoid accidents, you should program electric motors to “off“ and reduce throttle on
nitro helicopters to idle. The other control functions will be set to „position hold“ in case
of signal interruption. For these setting a failsafe position is not provided.
To teach the failsafe position simply set the throttle channel on your remote control to
the desired position and press the button briefly. If you did not connect a function
to CH5 Output and don't need throttle failsafe, press the button to complete
setup anyway!
