G) Using The Door Sequencer Assistant - PowerBox Systems Champion SRS Instruction Manual

g) Using the Door Sequencer Assistant

The Setup Assistant significantly simplifies the set-up procedure for the door sequencer function. The Setup As-
sistant is not a second door sequencer; instead its purpose is to define the Tasks in the door sequencer to match
your requirements, i.e. the information you enter. Because of this it is also possible at any time to expand or alter
the retract or wheel door functions after you have completed the Setup Assistant procedure.
The Setup Assistant guides you through the settings: on-screen instructions describe everything that you have
to do. These instructions simply provide supplementary information which cannot be supplied by the PowerBox
itself simply due to the size of the screen.
Preparation:
- The radio control system is set up correctly, and all the other control surfaces move properly.
- Do not connect any servos or valves to the door sequencer at this point.
- Assign a transmitter switch to a vacant channel, and set up servo travel for that channel to the standard range
of -100% to +100% (Jeti -80% bis +80%). If you are using a Futaba system, it is also possible to use DG1 or DG2.
- If you intend to use pneumatic valves, please ensure that there is adequate pressure in the system throughout
the programming procedure to avoid interruptions and other problems.
Access the PowerBox's Door Sequencer menu, and
select the SETUP ASSISTANT point. You will now see
the following screen display:
At this point the Champion SRS learns which switch is
to be used: the unit automatically detects the approp-
riate channel when you operate the transmitter switch
you have assigned for the retractable undercarriage.
The double arrow on the screen should move from the
UP line to the DOWN line. If your retract switch opera-
tes in the wrong "sense", change it by reversing that
output at the transmitter.
Press the SET button in order to continue with the As-
sistant; the next screen display now appears:
The purpose of this menu is to set up the way the door sequencer operates. The following basic sequences are
available:
Mode 1:
Extend undercarriage:
Wheel doors open Undercarriage extends
Retract undercarriage:
Undercarriage retracts Wheel doors close

Move the cursor to the appropriate mode, and confirm
your choice by pressing the SET button. Use button II
to move the cursor to OK, then press the SET button;
the following display now appears:
Connect your retract system valve to output A. One of the following will now occur, depending on the way your
valve is programmed:
Valve is triggered, and the undercarriage retracts. Press button II on your SensorSwitch, and hold it pressed in
until the undercarriage extends again.
Valve is not triggered, and the undercarriage remains in the extended state.
Press the SET button to move to the next screen display:
The undercarriage should now retract. If not, hold button I pressed in until the valve is triggered, and the under-
carriage retracts. Press the SET button to move on to the next stage of the procedure.
