Setting the Fail-Safe/Hold Memor
y in S-PCM Modulation
 
1.
 
After accessing the Fail-Safe Function, it is time to adjust the 
fail-safe presets.
 
 
2.
 
Select all of the channels for which you want to enter a fail- 
safe preset.  This is done by pressing the left or right CH key 
and moving the cursor arrow over the desired channel. Pressing 
the + or - key will cause the par
ticular channel to assume a
 
“hold” or “preset” fail-safe condition which is determined by 
positioning the par
ticular control and pressing the CLR key
.  The 
transmitter will memorize the switch fail-safe position and 
automatically transfer the setting to the receiver
.
 
 
3.
 
Confirmation of proper fail-safe presets/holds is made by 
tur
ning the transmitter OFF and obser
ving the aircraft’
s control 
functions.
 
When switch is in 
upper position, 
Fail-Safe is 
activated
 
When switch is in 
lower position, Hold
 
(last command) is 
activated

The XP8
10
3 transmitter employs two separate types of trainer 
systems:
 
 
.  
Nor
mal trainer system — all functions are controlled by 
either the master transmitter or the slave transmitter
.
 
 
B.
 
Programmable function trainer — stick functions may be 
assigned to the slave one at a time. Since the control functions 
can be transferred one at a time, students can concentrate on 
only one function at a time until they are competent to fly solo.
 
 
 
Basic Connections and Limitations
 
 
1.
 
The slave transmitter must be PPM (Pulse Position Modulation) 
with a DSC (direct se
vo control) jack. If the slave transmitter is 
PPM/PCM selectable, select PPM. The master transmitter can be 
S-PCM, Z-PCM or PPM.
 
 
2.
 
Plug the trainer cord into each transmitter’
s DSC jack. Note 
each transmitter will appear to be ON, but neither is actually 
transmitting at this time.
 
3.
 
Switch the master transmitter ON.
 
Do not switch on the 
slave transmitter
; you must only have the master transmitter 
ON.
 
 
4.
 
Pull the trainer switch on the master transmitter toward you to 
transfer control to the slave. Releasing the switch automatically 
rever
ts control to the master transmitter
.
 
 
5.
 
Be sure the slave transmitter ser
vo reversing, dual rates, and 
point adjustment and trims are identical to the master transmitter
. 
This can be checked by pulling the trainer switch toward you. If 
the control surfaces move, adjust the slave transmitter until the 
trainer switch can be activated without a change of the control 
sur
face position.
 
 
 
. Using the Nor
mal T
rainer System
 
 
In this mode, all functions are switched from the master to the 
slave using the trainer switch. This is the nor
mal mode. No 
function set-up (reversing switch or travel adjust) is necessar
y to 
activate this system.
