Jetcat V10 ECU
Switching on the ECU
The battery is directly plugged into the ECU connector or via the optional Charge Plate I/O board (part
#61168-00). NEVER use a switch between the battery and ECU!!!.
The ECU turns on automatically when power is applied to one of the two receiver connections, (THR and /
or AUX channel). If the ECU was powered on with the transmitter off (no servo pulse), then there is a 60
second delay if the ECU is immediately powered off. To force the ECU to power off, simultaneously press
the "Manual" and "Run" switches on the GSU.
The ECU can also be turned on without the receiver being powered on. To do this, there is a switch on the
ECU labeled "on" and with a ballpoint pen or similar device, press the switch for 5 seconds. Settings can
now be made or the turbine can be started via the GSU. After 60 seconds of inactivity, the ECU will shut off
automatically. By simultaneously pressing the "Manual" and "Run" switches on the GSU, the ECU can be
turned off immediately.
If the GSU is connected to the ECU then immediately after switching on the ECU, the GSU will briefly
display the software version number, starting fuel type and turbine type.
ECU version, V10.1G in this example
Starting fuel type, kerosene in this
example
