  • Page 15: Reverse Function

    FS-lT4S Digital proportional radio control system 6 Reverse Function The Reverse function is used to correct a servo or motor's direction in relation to the systems controls. For example if a servo is mounted upside down in order to fit inside a model (in this case steering), when the systems steering wheel is turned the servo will move in the oppisite direction.
  • Page 16: Steering Exponential

    The method for changing settings in this function is the wheel located above the menu bar at the bottom. To restore default settings of a single channel, select the reset icon within its subtrim menu. □ To restore the entire function to default, select the reset icon in the channel selection menu. □...
  • Page 17: Steering Speed

    FS-lT4S Digital proportional radio control system To set the steering exponential/rate: Select the desired parameter, rate or exp. Use the wheel at the bottom of the screen to change the value. To restore the entire function to default, select the reset icon located at the bottom center of the screen.
  • Page 18: Throttle Neutral

    There are 4 types of steering control: Font side: Front wheel steering. (Default) □ Rear side: Rear wheel steering. □ Same phase: Front and rear steering at the same time, □ when turning a direction all the wheels will turn the same direction.
  • Page 19: Throttle Exponential

    FS-lT4S Digital proportional radio control system 6.6 Throttle Exponential This function has two variables: □ Rate: Reducing the rate shrinks the outer limits of the curve, as the rate drops below 100% the graph will update in real-time. The maximum is 100%.
  • Page 20: A.b.s

    6.8 A.B.S. A.B.S. stands for auto breaking system, and is designed to stop the wheels from locking (which can lead to loss of control or a skid). A.B.S. manages this by regulating the amount of pressure the breaks use, this is done by pumping the breaks on and off rather than a constant force.
  • Page 21 FS-lT4S Digital proportional radio control system Trigger point Changes the point in which the A.B.S. will kick in. The trigger point is represented as a white line on the graph. To change the position of the trigger point use the wheel at the bottom of the screen.
  • Page 22: Throttle Speed

    6.9 Throttle Speed This function changes how quickly the throttle will react, both when pressed and released. This is useful to emulate different models such as big trucks, which in real life take longer to get up to speed and slow down.
  • Page 23: Throttle Middle

    FS-lT4S Digital proportional radio control system 7 Throttle Middle This function changes the midpoint of the throttle, this could be used in a middle in which the servo and the throttle position do not line up with no throttle, if this is the case the model may move as soon as it’s turned on.
  • Page 24: Boat Mode

    7.3 Boat Mode This function is used only when you are using a model boat. When using this function the break functionality is disabled and the throttle channel is set to its lowest position. To toggle this function select the box beside "Normal mode", when the function is active the text beside the box will change to "Boat mode".
  • Page 25: Display Servos

    FS-lT4S Digital proportional radio control system 7.6 Display Servos This function displays the models channel output and can be used to test output and servo range, the test button at the middle bottom of the screen will cause the channels to move slowly though their entire range.
  • Page 26: Keys Function

    7.8 Keys Function This function assigns the systems physical buttons to different functions. To assign a function to a key select the key from the diagram, then select a function from the list. WARNING If the model engine is powered on while the test function is activated will rev up.
  • Page 27 FS-lT4S Digital proportional radio control system Copy Model Select copy model from the menu (This will usually be the current model). Select a copy source (the model you wish to make a copy of). Select a target model (the model you wish to overwrite).
  • Page 28: Rx Setup

    8.0 RX Setup 8.1 Bind with a receiver This function enables you to bind the RX and TX so that no other system may interfere with your models operation. To bind the transmitter with a receiver: Connect the bind cable to the RX, then connect the power. On the TX select “Bind with a receiver”.
  • Page 29: Rx Battery Monitor

    FS-lT4S Digital proportional radio control system 8.4 RX Battery Monitor Monitors the receiver battery voltage. Use the supplied battery’s user manual to set the lower and higher voltages, so that the system can monitor battery level effectively. Setting the voltage alarm sets a custom low battery level alarm.
  • Page 30: Choose Sensors

    8.8 Choose Sensors The main screen can display the value of up to 4 sensors, this function selects which sensors are displayed. First select a slot, any sensors that are connected will automatically populate this list, select the desired sensor and exit the function. There are 2 types of sensors, basic and advanced.
