Radio Link Failsafe - RHINO Power Pack series Operation Manual

User Off – Means that was shutdown from the transmiter by a trim down or throtle cut
Low RPM – Means that the POWERPACK / ECU registered a lower RPM than the
minimum factory programmed value
Hi Temp – Means that the POWERPACK / ECU registered a temperature higher than
the maximum factory programmed value
Fail Safe – Means that the pulse with from the RX was out of the programed values
All this data is very important to determinate the cause of the last shutdown or flame out.
In case this information is not enough to determinate the causes, the POWERPACK / ECU
stores the last 51 minutes of use, and can be downloaded to a computer through the optional
data link.
Please contact your dealer for advise.

5 Radio Link Failsafe

In the case that the receiver has a radio link failure, it will output the failsafe settings. The
POWERPACK / ECU will set the power at idle during 1 second after receiving the stop
command, and if during this time the receiver exits from failsafe the engine will go back to the
throttle set power. If not, it will be cut-off. This system allows flying through small glitches
while retaining the ability to kill the engine in the case of radio failure.
ALWAYS PROGRAM THE FAILSAFE TO KILL THE ENGINE. NEVER FLY A
TURBINE PLANE WITH THE FAILSAFE SET TO "HOLD".
5.1 PPM systems
In the case of radio failure (erratic movement of the servos or pulses out of the programmed
values window), the POWERPACK / ECU sets the power to idle during approximately 1 sec.
If the radio link is regained in this time, the power goes back to normal, if not; the system will
kill the engine.
5.2 2.4 systems
Adjust the failsafe position of throttle channel to -125%
If your transmitter system does not allow you to program it this way, program it to
"STOP" position
