Fine Tuning ESC Readability (for HRS receivers ONLY)
MC-SETUP
Level
LV3 Only
DEFINITION: Adjusts frame rate of transmitter output to throttle channel for
setting up non-Futaba ESCs with HRS systems. HRS frame rate is faster than
many speed controls can properly read to complete their auto setups.
Important: Always try to setup your ESC normally first.
AVAILABLE FOR: HRS receivers ONLY.
ADJUSTABILITY: N/A.
INTERACTION: Must be used only when you are using an HRS receiver and the
ESC fails to set up normally. When setting up, do not use receiver; use only with
the proper cords (not included), connecting the speed control as shown below.
DESIRED END RESULT: Quick, easy setup of non-Futaba ESCs with
HRS receivers.
CAUTIONS:
•
ONLY use when you will be using HRS
receivers/modulation.
•
MUST use the two-way cord and DSC cord to connect
ESC directly to transmitter to complete this setup.
Reciever is not plugged into the ESC at this time.
•
Transmitter switch MUST be turned off after setup is
executed or the mode cannot be reset and the system
can not transmit properly. Warning will display
“
CAUTION! NOW MOD OFF”.
