Transmitter Rf Module - FUTABA FP-8SSHP Instruction Manual

30 Power switch
Transmitter lock-type power switch. To turn the switch
on and o f f , pull the knob forward and set it to the de-
sired position.
31 Antenna
Strong 1m 10cm telescoping antenna. Extend the an-
tenna to its full height when using the transmitter. The
antenna will lock in place with a click when pulled up
to its full height.
32 Level meter
•This meter indicates the transmitter battery voltage
and output power (power meter).
•When the antenna [31] is fully extended and the power
switch [30] is set to ON, the pointer should deflect to
the white zone.
•If the transmitter RF module [35] is removed, the
level meter pointer will not deflect even if the power
switch [30] is set to ON.
• If the meter pointer deflects to the red zone, indicat-
ing that the Nicd battery voltage is low. the range of
the radiowaves will become shorter and the tacho-
meter/timer [27] battery alarm [5] will operate. If the
meter pointer deflects to the boundary between the
white and red zones, recharge the battery.
33 Rudder button
•While this button is being pressed, the rudder moves
to the deflection angle preset at trimmer [17] on the
trimmer panel at the back of the transmitter. After
the time set at trimmer [18] elapses, the rudder servo
returns to the neutral position. This is convenient
when making 540" turns.
•The rudder servo left and right throw can be set with
trimmer [17] . When fail safe switch [19] is set to the INH
position, the rudder button [33] becomes inoperative.
When the fail safe switch is set to the RUD.REV
position, the rudder button becomes operative.
34 Hovering memory switch
•This switch turns the memory function which memo-
rizes the rudder mixing hovering point on and off.
When it is set to OFF, the revolution mixing knobs
[17] and [18] become inoperative.
•When this switch is set to ON when hovering, the
position of the throttle lever [3] is memorized.
•The revolution mixing up knob [17] and revolution
mixing down knob [18] can be independently adjusted
and set from the throttle lever 3 .
•Mixing can be adjusted with-

36 FS set button
This pushbutton switch is used when setting the fail
safe servo position.
When this button is pressed when the
function select switch [35] on the trim-
mer panel [38] at the back of the trans-
mitter is set to the FS ALL or FS
SELECT position and the transmitter
sticks are set to the desired servo posi-
F S . S E T
tions, the transmitter memorizes those
servo positions
Fjg, 27 signals to the receiver.
Since this data is automatically trans-
mitted every 60 seconds thereafter,
pressing the button at every flight is
unnecessary. After the servo position
data has been set, set switch [35] to the
OFF position to prevent erroneous
setting.
During fail safe data transmission, lamp
[A] of monitor lamps [24] goes out mo-
mentarily and transmission of the data
is then confirmed.
