FX-30
4.7 TRAINER MODE
The FX-30 is fitted with additional sockets on the left-hand
side. One of them is a Trainer socket, which can also be used
t
o control a flight simulator, and doubles up as a DSC socket.
Trainer (teacher / pupil) mode operations make it possible for
newcomers to learn the art of model flying with the help of a
tutor. The Teacher and Pupil transmitters must be inter-con-
nected using the appropriate Trainer lead, which is available
separately.
The FX-30 transmitter can be used either as the Teacher or the
Pupil transmitter.
Please note the following points:
Selecting the modulation on Pupil transmitters with G3 modu-
lation (PCM 2048).
For Pupil transmitters which feature G3 modulation, it is pos-
sible to switch to 8-channel or 12-channel modulation.
• In the case of other Pupil transmitters (with PCM 1024 or
FM (PP8) modulation) it is essential to set 8-channel PPM
(FM) modulation.
• If the transmitters are not set up with the same stick mode
(throttle left / throttle right), you must change the mode on
the Pupil transmitter (MODE 1 - 4).
• Connect the Teacher transmitter to the Pupil transmitter
using the Trainer lead.
• Switch the Teacher transmitter on.
• The Pupil transmitter is usually switched on automatically
when you connect the Trainer cable; to avoid the Pupil
transmitter radiating an RF signal we recommend that you
remove the crystal or the RF module from the transmitter,
as well as the aerial.
• Pupil transmitters with a six-pin micro Trainer socket and a
transmitter power supply consisting of a 2S LiPo or 6 NiMH
pack are powered directly via the Trainer lead, No. F 1591
(e.g. T12FG, T12Z, T14MZ, FX-30, FX-40).
Other transmitters with a six-pin micro Trainer socket and
an eight-cell NC / NiMH power supply require the special
Trainer lead, No. F 1314. This lead features an integral vol-
tage converter (from 6 NC to 8 NC), which avoids con-
stantly triggering the low-voltage alarm (T4EX, T6EXP, T7C,
T9CP, T10C).
• Check the control functions carefully on the Teacher trans-
mitter, then operate the Trainer switch and check the con-
trol functions from the Pupil transmitter.
• Switch back to Teacher mode: control must revert to the
Teacher transmitter.
The transmitter software allows you to select whether the Pupil
transmitter has its own mixer functions for controlling the model,
or whether the system should always use the Teacher transmit-
ter’s mixer functions. Alternatively ‘mix mode’ operation is possi-
ble; in this case both transmitters are permitted to control the
model.
For more information on the settings required for these arran-
gements please refer to the “Trainer” set-up menu; this is des-
cribed as part of the “System menu” section.
The FX-30 transmitter can be operated either as the Teacher
transmitter or as the Pupil transmitter in combination with a huge
variety of transmitters from the robbe / Futaba range. The follo-
wing combinations are possible; the list below also states the
T
rainer leads required:
FX-30 transmitter as Teacher transmitter in conjunction with
the following Pupil transmitters:
• T12FG, T12Z, T14MZ, FX-30, FX-40 transmitters = Trainer
lead No. F 1591
• T10C, FF-9 (T9CP), FF-7 (T7CP), T4EX, Skysport T4YF trans-
mitters = special Trainer lead No. F 1314
• FX-14 / FX-18 transmitters = Trainer lead No. 8236
• F-series transmitters with Trainer module 4, No. F 1574 =
Trainer lead No. 8238
• F-series transmitters with 6-pin DIN socket, Skysport 4
(T4VF), FF-6, FF-8 and PCM 1024-9Z = Trainer lead No. F
1592; must be converted by the robbe Service Centre (power
supply cap).
FX-30 transmitter as Pupil transmitter in conjunction with the
following Teacher transmitters (transmitter battery required in
Pupil transmitter):
• Skysport T4YF, T4EX, FF-7 (T7CP), FF-9 (T9CP), T10C,
T12FG, T12Z, T14MZ, FX-30, FX-40 transmitters = Trainer
lead No. F 1591
• FX-14 / 18 transmitters = Trainer lead No. 8236
• Skysport 4 (T4VF), FF-6, FF-8, FC-28, FC-18 and FC-16 with
DIN socket or PCM 1024 9Z transmitter = Trainer lead No. F
1592
• F-14, FC-16, FC-18 or FC-28 transmitters with Trainer 4
Module, F 1574 = Trainer lead No. 8238
4.8 DSC MODE, USE WITH FLIGHT SIMULATOR
A DSC (Direct Servo Control) lead can also be connected to the
DSC socket on the left-hand side
of the transmitter in order to con-
trol the receiver and the conne-
cted servos without radiating an
RF signal. This can be helpful at
a competition, for example; you
may wish to carry out adjust-
ments when your spot frequency is already in use. Also use-
ful for changing the spot frequency of R 5014 / R 5114 recei-
vers.
Note:
The DSC function can only be used as an alternative to the
Trainer function. This means that you must first disable (INA)
Trainer mode in the “Trainer” set-up menu of the “System menu”.
• Locate the DSC lead supplied in the set, and connect it to the
receiver socket marked B/C.
• Switch the receiver power supply on.
• Now connect the plug to the transmitter; this automatically
switches the unit on without radiating an RF signal. The
screen displays the message “DSC lead connected”, and the
transmitter passes the control signals to the receiver via the
cable.
