Diagnoses - Gaspar Xicoy X45 User Manual

Low RPM: Engine had been shut down because the speed has fallen below the minimum. Usually lack of fuel (or
an air bubble(s) has passed through the pump)
HighTemp: Excessive temperature
Battery!: battery voltage out of limits.
Pump Overload: There is a restriction in the fuel path from the pump to the engine, or in the engine itself.

Diagnoses

During engine operation the ECU measures and stores all the engine operating parameters recorded during the
last the 51 minutes of operation. These measures can be downloaded later to a PC to study the behaviour of the
engine in flight and to diagnose any possible problems. Also, after each cycle of operation, the ECU stores the last
cause of shut down and the values of RPM, temperature and pump power.
In order to access these measures, it is necessary to shut down and power-up the ECU. Set the trim down
(trimLow) and push the left button on the display. The ECU will show the cause of last shutdown and the
parameters value at the moment of shut down.
Diagnosis messages:
UserOff: The engine has been shut down because it has received the shutdown command from the
1.
transmitter.
2. FailSafe: The engine has been shut down because of loss of the control signal from the transmitter. After 0,5s
of detecting a loss or invalid RC signal, the ECU sets engine power to idle, and if after another 1,5seconds a valid
signal is still not received the engine is shut down.
LowRPM: The engine has been shut down because the RPM has dropped below a minimum. Cause could be
3.
lack of fuel, air bubbles, problem with the batteries, or defective RPM sensor.
RCPwFail: Lack of power from the radio receiver.
4.
