Throttle Hold - Sanwa M11X Operating Manual

throttle hold

The Throttle Hold function is used primarily with glow- or gas-powered models. It allows you to perform several different functions
depending on how the Throttle Hold function is set up. For example, when set to a negative value, you can stop the engine
with only the press of a button. This feature is often used with R/C boat models and is also known as 'Engine Cut'. When set to
a positive value, the throttle can be held open a desired amount with only the press of a button. This feature is often used to hold
the engine at a steady idle while refueling during a race. With the transmitter set to 4CH Mode, a desired amount of braking can
be applied independently when set to a negative value.

When TH-HLD is active, the throttle servo is locked to the TH-HLD value, regardless of the current throttle trigger position.
Throttle Hold Setting
1) Press the Function key to highlight the TH-HLD menu. The cursor will
default below THROTTLE HOLD in the Programming Window.
2) Press INC/+ or DEC/- keys to adjust the desired TH-HOLD value.
TH-HLD THROTTLE HOLD setting range is -160% to 140%. The default
setting is 0%. The THROTTLE HOLD setting controls how far the throttle
servo will travel with TH-HLD is activated.
INH/ACT Setting

Window, then press INC/+ or DEC/- keys to set the desired value.
INH - Throttle Hold is not active. Depress and hold the Push-Button
switch to activate Throttle Hold. When released, normal throttle
operation returns.
ACT - Throttle Hold is active at all times. Press and hold the Push-Button
switch to turn Throttle Hold OFF. When released, Throttle Hold will be

4CH Hold Setting
1) Press the ENTER key to move the cursor to HOLD-4CH in the
Programming Window, then press INC/+ or DEC/- keys to set the
desired value.
TH-HLD HOLD-4CH setting range is ON or OFF. The default setting is
ON. When set to ON the 4th channel brake will activate when TH-HLD is
activated. When set to OFF the 4th channel brake servo will not activate
when TH-HLD is activated.
The 4th channel brake servo will only activate when TH-HLD is set to a negative value. The 4th channel brake servo travel
will be the same amount as the TH-HLD travel. For example, if your throttle servo moves 20 degrees, the 4th channel brake
servo will also move 20 degrees.

The THROTTLE HOLD function must be
assigned to a Push-Button switch, using
the Key Assign function. See page 50 for more
information. We suggest assigning it to its own
switch, for example, Sw 2.
