Fail Safe/Hold Combination in S-PCM Modulation
The XP8
10
3 allows you to combine the hold and fail-safe presets
for all eight (8) channels on the receiver — you can select fail-
safe or hold independently for all channels on your aircraft. In
other words, some channels will hold their last clear signal
position, while others assume the preset position. Once the fail-
safe has been activated by signal interruption (inter
ference), the
transmitter automatically moves the ser
vos to a preset position.
The predetermined ser
vo positions are set by you. In the S-PCM
fail-safe, the time delay (the amount of time it takes, starting the
moment the interference occurs, until the ser
vos assume the
preset positions) is fixed at .

5, or 1/4, second.
fter the inter
ference has ceased, normal operation of the
airplane returns to you immediately

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.
