Features - FUTABA PCM1024H Instruction Manual

•FEATURES

The PCM1024H was specially-developed to meet the needs of the serious and demanding
R/C Helicopter hobbyist. Numerous features make this system adaptable to a wide variety
of complex radio control helicopters and stunt and scale aircraft. This is the most advanced
system available for FAI R/C Helicopter (F3C) competition. The built-in microprocessor
utilizing PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) makes this set very versatile and extremely noise and
deadpoint resistant.
TRANSMITTER FP-T9VHP
• Programming data is displayed pictorially and
graphically on a large,
(Liquid Crystal Display) panel. Programming
and Cursor keys allow convenient adjustment
of aircraft functions.
•"1024" Channel Resolution: New 1024 PCM
encoder format provides unexcelled servo reso-
lution and response time.
• R F module uses a narrow band modulation
circuit and PCM transmission.
• Precise control is made possible by three dif-
ferent endpoint adjustment functions: Adjust-
able Travel Volume (ATV), Adjustable Func-
tion Rate (AFR), and Adjustable Trim Rate.
• Dual Rates, Exponential, and Variable Trace
Rate (VTR) functions provide unlimited flexi-
bility in "fine tuning" aircraft control response.
• There are many functions for collective pitch,
throttle, and rudder, including four adjustable
pitch and throttle curves (plus inverted pro-
gram). Precise and convenient adjustments
enable optimum helicopter performance.
• Four programmable mixing circuits allow many
diverse applications for the control of complex
helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft.
• Four kinds of "swash plate mixing" are avail-
able for direct control and mixing of cyclic and
collective pitch functions (CCPM).
•Programming for up to 6 different models (in-
cluding model name) can be stored in the trans-
mitter memory. Memorized data is protected
by a 5 year lithium battery.
• Accessory "Sub-Trimmers" are provided on the
transmitter front for convenient field adjust-
ment of frequently-used functions.
•Trim positions for each model can be memo-
rized by the Trim Memory Function, allowing
the trim levers and sub-trimmers to be returned
to neutral. Neutral positions can be reproduced
in the future, or copied onto another model
program if desired.
Please read this manual carefully before using your set.
easy-to-read LCD
• The Tachometer function measures engine rpm
by means of a built-in sensor.
• Speed (rpm) can be measured for 1 to 5 bladed
propellers.
• Digital alarm/timer has Up, Down, and Rhyth-
mic timing modes.
• Integrating (Total Timer) timer monitors total
transmitter ON time.
• Ball bearing open gimbal sticks, angled switches,
and "human-engineered" transmitter case en-
hance the feeling of comfort and precision in
transmitter operation.
• "Quick Change" Nicd battery pack is easily
accessable by means of a convenient panel on
the transmitter back.
• Power Off function turns off the transmitter
power automatically if the controls are not
operated for 30 minutes.
• PCM or standard PPM operation can be se-
lected. (Allows operation
receivers on the same frequency.)
• DSC (Direct Servo Control): The DSC cord
allows operation of all servos without turning
on the transmitter. The voltage of the trans-
mitter and receiver Nicd batteries can also be
read simultaneously using the cord.
• Servo reversing is available on all channels.
•Auto Dual Rate: If desired, aileron, elevator,
and rudder dual rate can be turned ON and
OFF automatically, according to throttle stick
position.
• Stick length and angle is easily adjusted.
• Knobs and levers are conveniently located for
adjustments of Idle-Up functions. Revolution
Mixing, Hovering Throttle and Pitch, etc.
