Summary of Contents for PowerBox Systems iGyro SAT
- Page 1 INSTRUCTION MANUAL...
- Page 2 The iGyro SAT acts as gyro sensor unit for the iGyro function in a whole range of our products, including the Royal SR2, Competition SR2, Mercury SR2, Pioneer and all receivers from the PBR7S up. When operating, the iGyro SAT supplies sensor data to the device via the FastTrack bus, and the iGyro software then delivers the requisite signals to the servos.
- Page 3 If the connecting lead is too short, there is no problem in using an Uni extension lead up to a length of 3 m. This means that the iGyro SAT can be installed at any point in the model you wish; ideally it should be positioned away from vibration or turbine noise.
- Page 4 PowerBox transmitter are absolutely identical for a PBR receiver or other PowerBox system. If you wish to operate the iGyro SAT and a PowerBox with a Jeti system, you will find the same menu system in your transmitter’s JetiBox menu. For pilots using other systems you will find all the menu points 1:1 the same on the Mobile Terminal.
- Page 5 - Storing the established gain value on a switch As you can see, no adjustments of any kind are required at the iGyro SAT or the primary device in order to enter the basic model settings, or to test-fly the model without the gyro.
- Page 6 The menu is designed in such a way that frequently needed screen displays are further forward, while basic set-up menus are further back. Important point regarding PBR receivers: in the first Telemetry menu it is essential to set the Data output to FAST TRACK. PowerBox-Systems −...

Page 7: Channel Assignment
3.2 CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT Tap repeatedly on the right until you arrive at the Channel Assignment screen. www.powerbox-systems.com... - Page 8 Here you set the outputs which you wish to be connected to each Gyro output. This means: if you have assigned your two aileron servos to 1 and 5, at this point you should enter 1 at Aileron-A, and 5 at Aileron-B. Repeat the procedure for the eleva- tor and rudder.

- Page 10 3.3 SETTING THE INSTALLED ORIENTATION Once the assignment is complete, switch to the Gyro Basic Setup screen: At this display the installed orientation of the iGyro SAT is established, together with the zero point and end-points of the transmitter sticks.
- Page 11 Note: If your model is too large to move, you should not fix the iGyro SAT in place at this stage; instead move the iGyro SAT alone in the following way: The installed orientation of the iGyro SAT is detected by defined movements of the model.
- Page 12 3.4 LEARNING THE CENTRE AND END-POINTS In this procedure the iGyro learns the stick neutral position and end-points. The system also employs a complex three-dimensional algorithm to determine whether delta or V-tail mixers are present. It makes no difference if differential or unequal travels are programmed into the mixers.
- Page 13 3.5 SET-UP FLIGHT As mentioned earlier, the model should always be test-flown and trimmed before the gyro is used. Start the flight with the gyro switched off, i.e. with the gain control at Centre. The default setting is for Smart Assist to be active on aileron and elevator in Range A (0% to +100 %), while rudder operates in Normal mode.
- Page 14 3.6 FINE-TUNING THE GAIN OF INDIVIDUAL AXES The most common requirement is to fine-tune the gain of individual flight axes. While the Gain channel at the transmitter affects the gyro gain for all axes simul- taneously, the Fine Tuning menu can be used to adjust each axis separately. At SELECT axes you select the axis which is to be adjusted.

Page 15: Additional Features
3.7 ADDITIONAL FEATURES By default the iGyro in the receiver is set up to suit the vast majority of pilots per- fectly. Nevertheless, we have integrated additional expert functions in order to cater for all possible cases in the optimum way. - Attitude/Smart Assist: ON/OFF: We decided to use the term Attitude Assist because “Heading”... - Page 16 - Stickpriority: This setting enables you to alter the degree of override of the gyro function. The default setting is 100 %, which means that the gyro function is completely suppressed when the transmitter stick is at its end-point. However, if you set Stick- priority to 200 %, for example, then the gyro function is fully suppressed when the stick is only half-way to its end-point.
