Program description: Switches
Example:
The control switch “G1” has been assigned to cont-
rol function 1 (= transmitter control 1). The switching
point is located, say, at its centrepoint, i.e. at 0%. You
could now assign the transmitter control “G2” to a sli-
der, which (for example) has been assigned to “Input
7” in the »Control adjust« menu, and the switching
point of this control might be at +50%. If the switch
directions are as stated in column 4 of the screen
shots, the control switch “G1” now remains closed as
long as the stick (Ch1) and / or “Control 7” is positio-
ned beyond the switching point:
Transmitter control positions and control switch posi-
tions:
Note:
The direction of switching also varies according to the
orientation of the slider connector at the transmitter
circuit board, and according to the choice of “Thrott-
le min. back / forward” or “Collective pitch min. back /
forward” as set in the »Model type« or »Helicopter
type« menus.
This comprehensive range of switching facilities offers
plenty of scope for special applications in the whole
fi eld of model fl ying.
Note:
If you wish to operate the control switch using a two-
position switch module (Order No. 4151, see Ap-
pendix) connected to one of the sockets CH5 …
CH10, you must fi rst program the switching point by
means of a proportional control, e.g. using one of the
integral sliders.
Start by assigning the “substitute” proportional control
in column 2, and set the switching point in such a way
that the switch position of the three-position switch
will reliably exceed that value, e.g. -10% or +10%. If
you neglect this, the switching function will not be re-
liable, as the control switch is only triggered when the
signal clearly exceeds or falls below the set value.
The fi nal stage is to reverse the control assignment,
and re-assign the three-position switch which you ac-
tually wish to use.
