Battery Used Counter; Rx Errors Counter; Airspeed - XICOY FADEC system Autostart 10 User Manual

The total running time of the engine in minutes (Tot),

The total number of starts (cycles - CY).
Use this screen to keep track of your total running time and starts.

Battery used Counter.

This screen display a mAh counter which shows
the capacity used from the battery. The counter
can be set to zero by pressing the (+) button.
The use of this screen is to know the capacity of
the battery used in a flight or in a session to decide when its time to recharge it.
NOTE: The precision of this counter is +/- 10%.

RX errors Counter.

The FADEC detect an error on the signal
received from the RX when this signal is absent
or outside from the valid window programmed
during the Radio setup. The standard on RC systems is that servos should receive 50
control pulses/second from the RX, and each pulse duration should be between 1000 and
2000 microsecond.
First line on this screen display the count of the pulses received that are shorter than the
"STOP" signal or larger that "Full power" signal received by the FADEC during the Radio
setup.
Second line shows the duration of the wrong signal, and this include the time that no
pulses have been received.
On PCM and 2,4G systems, the signal issued by the RX during a radio link failure depends
of the programming of the failsafe settings in your TX. If you program your failsafe
settings to "hold" or set the throttle position during failsafe in a valid position for the
fadec (signal between STOP and FULL POWER) the fadec will not detect any radio
problem, so it don't will count any error. Our recommendation is to program the failsafe of
your TX to issue a signal to the throttle channel of less value than the STOP signal. I.e., if
your STOP position is –100% set the throttle failsafe to –125%. This will assure that the
fadec will recognize a failsafe condition, record the time, and stop the engine after 2s if
the radio link is not recovered. This last condition is obligatory in some countries and 100%
recommendable. Never fly your plane with the failsafe set to "hold" in the throttle
channel.

Airspeed.

If the airspeed sensor is connected to
the FADEC, it will detect it at power-up and
enable this screen. On first line it is possible to
set the maximum airspeed allowed for the
plane, between 32 and 250mph (50 to 400km/h), or OFF (no limit). The fadec will reduce
automatically the throttle to keep the airspeed at or below the maximum. Please note that
