Brake Mixing "BRAKE MIX" (Throttle, 3rd /4th channel system)
This function is used when the front and rear brakes must be adjusted independently
such as a 1/5 scale GP car. This mixing uses the 2nd CH for the rear brakes and the 3rd
or 4th CH for the front brakes, or controls the front brakes with the 3rd CH and 4th CH
servos, or controls the 2nd CH by independent throttle and controls the rear and front
brakes with the 3rd CH and 4th CH.
-When braking, mixing is applied to 2nd CH 3rd CH, 4th CH.
-3rd CH and 4th CH brake amount, 2nd CH, 3rd CH, and 4th CH brake delay, and 3rd
CH and 4th CH brake ABS can be set.
Operation
The ABS function can be used independently at the CH3 and CH4 sides even when
the CH2 side ABS function is OFF. The amount of pumping speed (CYCL), operation
point (TG.P), and duty ratio (DUTY) can be set in common with the CH2 side ABS

ware. This function is used by connecting ESC directly to the transmitter. The
T4PLS power switch is used at the display side. Use the various optional servo ex-
tension cords according to the distance between the transmitter and ESC. The last
data read from ESC to T4PLS or the last data written from T4PLS to ESC is saved
to the T4PLS. Since the data for each model memory can be saved, the data of up to
40 models can be saved.
-When the T4PLS battery voltage drops, the display switches to low battery display. Therefore, use this function when there
is ample battery capacity remaining.

BRK-(PWM FREC BRK LD) nOR(2000Hz)/ HIG(1000Hz)/ SPH(500Hz)
MC950CR:500Hz~30000Hz (30kHz)
Same as Link software Brake PWM at frequency.
This setting can set the brake PWM frequency.
"MIn" which sets the frequency when the load is small, is set to the high frequency side (large value) when extension is desired after straight-
aways and curves.
"MAX" which sets the frequency when the load is large, is set to the high frequency side (large value) when you want to suppress the rise
from low speed and when motor heating and commutator roughness are sensed.
When the rise from low speed is poor, and becomes bad even when "MAX" is set to the low frequency side, use the log data to check if there
was a momentary voltage drop. When you want to suppress the overall power, lengthen the run time, and otherwise improve efficiency, set
both "MAX" and "MIn" to the high frequency side. When you want to set a fixed PWM frequency at full range regardless of the load current,
set PWM frequency (at Max. load) and PWM frequency (at Min. load) to the same value.
nTB-(NEUTRAL BRAKE) 0%(OFF)~100%
Same as Link software Neutral Brake.
Make this setting when you want to use the brakes at the neutral throttle (OFF) position by throttle operation. The
larger this value, the greater the braking force. When you want to use the neutral brake, set this value to "0%".

LBP-(LOW BATTERY VOLT) 2.5V~6V
2.5V~7.5V for MC950CR
Same as Link software Low Bat Protection
This setting cuts off the output to the motor when
the running battery voltage drops to the set volt-
age to prevent the receiver from stopping operation
when the supply of voltage to the receiver becomes
in sufficient while running due to a drop in the pow-
er supply voltage. When the power supply voltage
recovers, power is supplied to the motor once more.
CTM-(C.L. TIME LIMIT) 50A~300A /CLT-(C.L. TIMER) 0sec(OFF)~240sec
(except MC950CR)
Same as Link software Current Limiter (Time Limit)/Current Limit timer.
The output current can be limited up to the set time lapse from the start of run-
ning. This is effective in preventing the motor from outputting wasted energy
when the voltage is high immediately after the power battery was recharged.
- "CTM" (Time Limit) sets the maximum output current within the time the out-
put current is limited.
- "CLT" sets the time the output current is limited. This function is disabled
when set to "0" sec.
Since the Current Limit Timer starts when the throttle is operated to the for-
ward side and current is output to the motor, this function begins to operate
when the motor is run during trim adjustment, etc.

This function sets the turbo mode. More power can be displayed by using the turbo mode. Depending on the
setting, the motor and ESC may be damaged so make this setting carefully.
(Note) When LAU (LEAD ANGLE USE) is off, lead angle setting will not operate even if set to LEV1 or LEV2.
(Turbo mode disabled, TBM=OFF)
OFF mode: (No Lead Angle mode) Lead angle - No
When used in races in which the lead angle setting function is inhibited by ESC, set to this mode. The lead
angle function is disabled the same as if LAU (LEAD ANGLE USE) was turned off.
When the lead angle function was disabled by the method described above, the MC960CR shows that the
lead angle function is off by blinking a blue LED at an ON 0.1 second, OFF 0.9 second cycle at the neutral
point.
LV1 turbo mode: (Lead Angle mode) Lead angle – Yes
The output can be increased by setting a lead angle.
Depending on the set value, the motor may be damaged so increase the lead angle value in steps from a
small value while observing the conditions.
Turn on LAU (Lead Angle Use) and adjust the lead angle by LA-(LEAD ANGLE) and A, B, C, D, E BA-(A, B,
C, D, E BOOST ANGLE) value.
LV2 power mode: (Power Mode) Lead angle – Yes
Displays still more power than a turbo.
However, since even a motor applies a large load on the ESC, make the lead angle larger in steps from a
small value while observing the conditions.

When using in races in which the lead angle setting function is inhibited by the ESC, set LAU (LEAD
ANGLE USE) to OFF. The LAU setting has priority over TBM-(TURBO MODE). If LAU is set to
"OFF", the lead angle setting function can be turned off even if TBM is set to "LV1" or "LV2".
The MC940,960CR shows that the lead angle setting function is OFF ("0" timing) by blinking a LED.
The LA-(LEAD ANGLE) and A, B, C, D, E BA- (A, B, C, D, E BOOST ANGLE) relationship is shown on
the graphs below. Graph [A] shows the relationship when the same value is set at points A, B, C, D, E BA-
(A, B, C, D, E BOOST ANGLE) of [A] and [B] and the LA-(LEAD ANGLE) was set to "0" and graph [B]
shows the relationship when a value other than "0" was set at LA-(LEAD ANGLE).
As shown in the graphs, [B] is added to the A, B, C, D, E BA-(A, B, C, D, E BOOST ANGLE) set lead an-
gle and [A] is added to the LA-(LEAD ANGLE) set lead angle. For example, if "3" is set at ABA and LA of [B]
is set to "2", the actual ABA becomes 3+2=5 (deg). Since LA of [A] is "0", the actual ABA also becomes
3+0=3 (deg).

Telemetry "TELEMETRY"
With the telemetry system, the running status can be displayed at the transmitter and al-
so recorded as a data log by mounting various sensor units to the chassis.
The telemetry related screens are only displayed when the T4PLS power switch is in the
PWR ON position. When the power switch is in the DISP position, the telemetry related
screens are not displayed.
The T4PLS displays four kinds of information on the HOME screen; re-
ceiver power source (battery) voltage, external power supply (drive bat-
tery) voltage, speed, and temperature.
*The telemetry function is compatible with only the T-FHSS system.
*The telemetry function requires a corresponding receiver (R304SB).
*Only T4PLS with R304SB ID registered have a telemetry display.
*Multiple sensors of the same type cannot be used.
The sensor data can be checked at the transmitter by connecting
the telemetry sensor sold separately to the S.BUS2 connector of
the R304SB receiver.

lowing 3 types of sensors and the receiver power supply voltage can be transmitted by
using the 3-way extension cord or double extension cord sold separately.
The receiver power supply can also be connected to the S-BUS2 connector or each of
CH1-4. A receiver power supply voltage sensor is unnecessary.
*The S-BUS2 system exerts control by connecting multiple gyros, servos and other devices corresponding to one S-BUS2
connector. Each device is separately controlled by setting the channel No. or slot No. individually for each device.
A slot No. is also set for telemetry sensors. With the T4PLS system, each slot No. of a telemetry sensor must be set to its ini-
tial value. Since the slot No. can be changed for other aircraft type transmitters (T18MZ, etc.), sensors with changed slot No.
will not operate if not returned to their initial slot No. When using a sensor that is used with transmitters other than a T4PL,
whether or not the slot No. is set to the initial value given in the sensor instruction manual must be checked at the changed
transmitter (T18MZ, etc.). With the T4PLS, the set slot No. cannot be checked or changed.

Log Setting Start/Stop
The data from a telemetry sensor can be saved to the T4PLS as a data log. Since the data
is sequentially updated, when data logging is performed, the old data is erased. Only 1
data is saved.
The interval at which the data is acquired can be selected from a minimum 0.1 second
to a maximum 60 seconds. Because the maximum count is 200, if the count is made 200
counts at 0.1 second intervals, 20 seconds worth of data is acquired, and if the count is
made 200 counts at 60 second intervals, 3 hours 20 minutes worth of data is acquired.
Data logging is started and stopped by setting SW1 set by SW/Dial function (p.65) to
"LOGGER" and by switch (SW1). If the switch (SW1) is not set, data logging is started
by throttle trigger from the log setting screen.
Data logging can also be started by throttle trigger from this screen and stopped by
switch (SW1) set by SW/dial function (p.65).
Refer to the map on page 108 for the log setting (LOG MODE) screen display.

When ending, move the cursor to [RT] by the (JOG) button,
and return to the HOME screen by pressing the (JOG) but-
ton twice.
An electronic beeping sound is generated and the "STATE" display switches from "RST"
to blinking "RDY", and the logger enters the trigger operation wait state. When the trig-
ger is operated in the forward direction, data logging begins. (STATE display "STA")
When the end time arrives, an electronic beep sounds and data logging stops. To return
to the HOME screen during data logging, move the cursor to [RT] by (JOG) button up or
down operation, and press the (JOG) button or (+) button.
2 (Log forced end)
To abort logging, press the switch (SW1), the same as starting, or display the log setting
(LOG MODE) screen and select the "STATE" setting item by (JOG) button up or down
operation and press the (JOG) button for approximately 1 second. An electronic beeping
sound is generated and logging is stopped.

￸ When using the T4PLS in the T-FHSS (HIGH) and S-FHSS (HIGH) mode, always use it under the
following conditions:
Servos :
Futaba digital servo (including BLS Series brushless servos)
Receiver’s battery :Matched to the ratings of the receiver and connected digital servo (dry cell battery cannot be used).
Transmitter mode :
RX MODE (See p.29 for setting method.)
Under other conditions, the set will not operate, or the specified performance will not be displayed even if it operates.
In addition, it may cause servo trouble. Futaba will not be responsible for damage, etc. caused by combination with the
products of other companies.
In addition, the FSU Fail Safe Unit cannot be used because the system is different. Use the fail safe function of the trans-
mitter.
￸ When using analog servos, always switch the T4PLS servo response to the "NORM" mode.
Transmitter mode
:"
T-FHSS(NORM)", "T-FHSS(NORM)"and FHSS mode (See p.29 for setting method.)
Receiver’s battery :Matched to the ratings of the receiver and connected servo (dry cell battery cannot be used).
The set cannot operate in the "HIGH" mode. Operation in this mode will cause trouble with the servo and other equipment.
Digital servos (including BLS Series brushless servos) can also be used in the "NORM" mode.
