Default assignments may be changed using the FUNC-DIAL and FUNC-SW programming (See pp. 34-35. ) Features assigned to DL1, 2, 3, and DT1, 2, 3 are displayed at all times on right side of LCD screen. Display switch Precautions when turning the power switch on and off. When the data is changed using the edit keys or trim levers, wait at least two seconds before turning off the power. [. . . ] 39 Channel 3 Control CH3-POSI Level LV3 Only DEFINITION: Sets the default or neutral position for the channel 3 servo. Default adjusts with dial 3, may be reassigned with FUNC-DIAL (see pp. May also be used to adjust channel 3 to a specific position and leave it there if adjustability is not assigned to a dial (see FUNC-DIAL, pp. CAUTION: Dial 2 defaults to ATL adjustment, even if user does not realize it. GOAL: While using LV3: Reassign the channel 3 adjustment to digital trim 3; Adjust the channel 3 "center" position from 0 to 18% (with the digital trim centered). 12. ) STEPS: Use FUNC-DIAL to assign CH3 to digital trim 3. INPUTS: · · to DT3. to CH3. While viewing home screen, adjust digital trim 3 until 3CH reads 0. Close function and menu. Move trim 3, if necessary, until display reads 0 for 3CH. Where Next: Set up brake mixing to use channel 3 for separate front/rear brakes (BRAKE-MIX): See p. Set up programmable mixes to use channel 3 (PRG-MIX1, 2): See below. Programmable Mixes PRG-MIX1, PRG-MIX2 DEFINITIONS: Programmable mixing function: Allows user to create mixing between the steering, throttle and channel 3 servos. Mix Mode: Selects whether slave moves exactly based upon the master control's movement (unmixed) or the master channel's servo movements after any mixing (mixed). Brake mixing unmixed means front brakes respond exactly based upon trigger position while rear braking is changed by ABS, Speed Limiter, etc. Trim: Sets whether the slave channel is (ON) or is not (OFF) adjusted with the master when using the master channel's trim. Level LV3 Only · · · · · · AVAILABLE FOR: Throttle, steering, channel 3. 40 ADJUSTABILITY: Master: Throttle, steering, channel 3. A and B adjustments [Up/forward/left and down/brake/right (for ch3/throttle/steering respectively)]: -100% (move exact opposite of master) to 0 (no movement of slave) to +100% (move exactly same as master). Adjustable while in use by selecting a dial/trim for programmable mix adjustments A and B in FUNC-DIAL, pp. Switch: An on/off switch may be assigned for each mix in FUNC-SW (see pp. 34-35). · · · · · · · INTERACTION: EPA affects total travel available to both servos. Master mixed mode "mixed" means that all other functions affecting the primary channel also affect the secondary channel. CAUTION: Be sure to test all mixes at every step to ensure no unexpected difficulties occur. GOAL: Set up a programmable mix from steering to lights so that headlights turn with steering wheel, while using LV3. Set master mixed mode to mixed so other mixes affecting throttle position also affect headlight angle. GOAL: Use mixes to increase steering travel slightly when dual rate and EPA are not enough, while using LV3. [Note that anything more than 10% (or less if subtrim is >0) will not move the servo any further, as the servo's maximum mechanical travel is exceeded. Be sure to check actual travels, including sub trims, by testing servo operation. ] (If using LV1 or LV2, first select level LV3, see p.
