CONTENTS AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
(Specifications and ratings are subject to change without notice.)
Your system includes the following components:
The following additional accessories are available from your dealer. Refer to a Futaba catalog for more information:
•
CAMPac Memory module — the optional DP-16K CAMPac increases your model storage capability (to 20 models
from 10) and allows you to transfer programs to another 3PK transmitter. Note that data may not be transferred to/from
any other model of transmitter (3PJ, etc).
CAUTION - Insertion of a CAMPac containing data of a different transmitter type (ex: 3PJ) will result in
a complete CAMPac data reset and loss of all data.
•
Transmitter battery pack — the NT8F700B (700mAh) transmitter NiCd battery pack may be easily exchanged with a
fresh one to provide enough capacity for extended sessions.
•
Y-harnesses, servo extensions, etc – Genuine Futaba extensions and y-harnesses, including a Heavy-Duty version with
heavier gauge wire, are available to aid in your larger model and other installations.
•
5-cell (6.0V) receiver battery packs. All Futaba equipment (except that which is specifically labeled otherwise) is
designed to work with 4.8V (NiCd 4 cells) or 6.0V (NiCd 5 cells or alkaline 4 cells). Using a 6.0V pack increases the
current flow to the servos, which accelerates their rate of response and their torque. However, because of this faster
current draw, a 5-cell battery pack of the same mAh rating will last approximately ¾ the time of a 4-cell pack.
CAUTION - NOTE that HRS receivers require 6.0 volts and will not operate with 4.8V 4-cell packs.
•
Gyros – a variety of genuine Futaba gyros are available for your specialized model needs.
•
FailSafe: the FS1 FailSafe may be used with standard PPM/FM receivers to return throttle to idle in case of a loss of signal,
similar to the FailSafe function of PCM/HRS receivers. NOTE that HRS receivers can not operate with the FS1.
•
Battery Holder (Transmitter): This battery holder is necessary when using the transmitter with dry cell batteries. For a
description of how to install the battery holder to the transmitter, see “NiCd Replacement” on page 54.
•
DSC cord – allows setup and testing without transmitting. Requires DSC compatible receiver and DSC cord. With transmitter
and receiver off, plug cord into transmitter and then into receiver battery slot. Turn on receiver power. All programming and
setup may be done in this matter without transmitting. See glossary for a list of DSC-compatible receivers.
