helicopterclosertotheobstacle/objectuntilyouhearandseethecorrespondingservo
respond.Thiswillgiveyouanapproximateindicationofhowwellaparticularobstacle/object
canbedetected.However,theactualdistanceofdetectionandthecorrespondingresponse
whenflyingwillvarydependingonthefactorspreviouslynoted(in
the‘C.A.T.Functionsand
Performance’section).

NOTE:Youmaynoticethattheservosseemto‘twitch’whentestingthefunctionand
performanceofC.A.T.withoutflying.Thisisnormalandtobeexpectedasaresultofthehigh
performanceandsensitivenatureofthetechnology.

GainTrimmerPot

TheC.A.T.moduleisequippedwitha‘GAIN’trimmerpotthatcanbeusedtoadjust/fine‐tune
theoverall‘sensitivity’andresponseofthetechnology.Thispotissetatthefactoryto
providegoodperformanceoverallanddoesnottypicallyneedtobeadjusted.However,you
canremovetheC.A.T.
modulefromthebodyormakeasmallholeinthewindshieldtoaccess
thepotanduseasmall‘straight’bladescrewdriver(preferablywithaplastictip)toadjustit.

 Ifyoueverfindthatthehelicopter‘twitches’whenthetechnologyisactivated(turned
on)andtherearenoobstacles/objectswithinthedetectionrangeofthesensors,you
shoulddecreasethegainuntilthehelicopternolongertwitches:

Turnthegaintrimmerpotcounterclockwise(‐)todecreasethegain.

 Insomecasesyoucanincreasethesensitivity/responseofthetechnologyby
increasingthegain:

Turnthegaintrimmerpotclockwise(+)toincreasethegain.

 However,ifyoufindthatthehelicopter‘twitches’inanydirectionafterincreasingthe
gainyoushoulddecreaseitslightlyandcheckagain.

C.A.T.HintsandTips

 Itistypicallybesttousethe‘Low(LO)’controlratesettingonthetransmitter
and/orminimalcontrolinputstokeepthehelicopterfromtravelingtooquickly
towardobstacles/objectswheneverpossible.

 Ifyoueverfeelthehelicopterisonapath/atrisktocollidewithanobstacle/object
youcantrythefollowingtohelpensureC.A.T.hasthebestpossibleopportunityto
automaticallyavoidthecollision:

o Applycontrolinputstoslowthehelicopterdown(evenifyouarenotableto
stopitcompletelyjustslowingitdownwillgiveC.A.T.thebestchanceto
detecttheobstacle/objectandhopefullyavoidthecollision).
