'd.
Keep all parts of the ignition system at least 15
cm away from any part of the radio control
system. The distance between the receiver
battery and the ignition battery is crucial here.
Keep the cables between the ignition battery and
the ignition system as short as possible and or
adequate cross-section (0,5 mmz).
Use an ignition out-oil switch which is rated at 10
A minimum. Switch harnesses as designed for .
' receiver power supplies are not suitable for this
purpose.
Checking radio range and control systems
The range check is a method of testing which gives
reliable information about the ability at your radio
control system to lunction correctly.
We have drawn up a test procedure based on our
own experience and measurements which will always
keep you on the sale side.

Collapse the transmitter aerial completely.
Setupthemodelwhhthetipoftheaerlalaboufi
m above the ground.
Make sure that there are no large metal objects
(e.g. cars. wire fences etc.) in the vicinity of the
model.
Carry outthe chedr only it there are no other
transmitters switched on (even on other
channels).
Switch on the transmitter and receiver. At a
distance between transmitter and model of about
80 in, check the following carefully:
with PPM: the control surlaces still respond to
stick movements, and do not make any
uncontrolled movements at all. Close to the
stated range limit it is permissible for the servo
output arms to move e‘way trim the nominal
position by the width of the output enn (jitter).
with Parr: the servos should respond
to stick movements. Close to the
stated range limit the PCM interference
suppression may lead to delayed response.
Secure the model and repeat the range check
with the motor running (full lhmtttel).
The stated range at 80 m should only be considered a
guide value; the actual range may vary considerably
in afferent conditions. For example, in the lee at a
mountain, in the violnltyvof powerful radio stations or
similar transmitters, effective range may fall to hall of
the stated figure.

a.
Change the position at the receiver aerial.
Adjacent metal parts or carbon fibre reinforced
model ocrrponents will cause a remotion in
receiver range.
The influence ol electrical ignition systems and
electric motors also alters when you reposition
the receiver aerial.

b. Disconnect the servos from the receiver one by
one, and repeat the test each time.
Servo leads oi excessive length without
suppressor filters can cause reception problems.
Servos also deteriorate with age, producing more
interference than when new (brush sparking,
motor suppressor capacitors vibrated loose, ...).
. If no improvement is visible. remove the
complete system from the model and repeat the
check with the bare equipment.
. This procedure allows you to find out whether the
lault is in your system, or whether conditions In
your model are the cause oi the trouble
Other oints to bear in mind:
Here are a few more points which you should always
consider if you want your radio control system to work
reliably at all times:
1. Battery capacities change over time!
The capacity of the transmitter and receiver
battery, and the associated operating periods
vary according to many factors. Particularly
important are operating temperature (in Winter
battery capacity may only be son. of normal),
battery charging methods (memory effect) and
deterioration of bananas with age.
Counter-measures: from time to time discharge
packs fully down to 1 V per cell (but don’t deep-
' discharge theml). then give them a test charge:
don't store them in cold conditions, and charge
them fully before use.
2. Current dreln In the model may rise!
Still or jammed control surtaces can drive current
drain to enormous levels. It is also true that badly
designed linkages with insufficient leverage can
affect current consumption.
Counter-measures: check control surfaces and
linkages regulany, use full servo travel wherever
possible, ra—oonnect mechanical linkages instead
of electronically reducing servo travel.
3. Static charge: can produce Interference!
When the air is erdremely dry (up in the
mountains. in the tee of high hills, close to storm
fronts. ...) static charges can build up in the
transmitter and/or the pilot. Dissipating the
charge by spark can harm the pilot or cause
problems with the transmitter.
Counter-measures: stop llying as soon as
possible, walk downhill a little way to reach a less
exposed position.
4. Be canslderau of aurora!
Consideration for other modellers and spectators
is one of those things which should go without
saying tor all modellers who want to carry on
their hobby of radio control with maximum
poselble safety for themselves and for others.

Base types (the basic principle)
Base types (the basic principle)
In this chapter we would like to introduce the principle
of base types: what they are for, and how you use
them.
Separate sections at the end of this manual
(st starting on page 72) tell you the base types which
are actually provided, and what they can do. There
you will find all the information regarding assignments,
mixer inputs etc. that you need to work with base
types.
1. What are "base types”?
Base types are a form of pattern ortemplate for
programming models. You load a template imo the
new model memory and use it as a pm (hence the
name) which you then modify to match your model
Exactly.
The base types save you the trouble of:
- assigning transmitter controls, serves and
switches
- programming and setting up mixers
2. Why "base types"?
The more powerful the transmitter and the greater the
“freedom" it offers. the greater the complication when
you some to program individual models. As the
number and complexity of facillfiss rises, so does the
potential for errors.
The base types are designed to get you out of this
trap. The base types give you a basis for
programming,
- which cannot be altered by mistake,
- which you can use as often as you like,
- which you can adapt quickly and easily to suit
your preferred control methods and your
particular model
'0 3. What base types are provided?
We have divided the base types into five groups:
a.) Fixed-wing aircraft with one flight mode
~ Trainer tiraileron
- Trainer araileron
- Delta/flying wing
b.) Fixedrwlng aircraft with up to five flight modes
' Glider, Exaileron
. Glider, butterfly
. Electric, butterfly
- Power, Zxaileron ,
c.) Helicopter with up to five flight modes
- Trainer. no mixers
- Trainer, 12C! degree
- Heli, no mixers
- Hall. 120 degree
- Heli. 90 degree
d.) Matti-function models
~ - Boat
- Car
and In addition...

9-) Ml.
9») mm
This is the base type with which you really can do
EVERYTHING but which forces you to assign
and set up everything yourself.
The UNIVERSAL base type also provides you
with up to five flight modes.
4. What to watch out for?
You can't operate the system without base
types!
When you want to store a new model in a model
memory, me software requires you first to decide on
one of the base types. This base type is then copied
into the empty memory, where it tonne the basis for
the new model.
Conlchange the one type tornn existlng
model once It has been stored?
Straightfomard answer: N0! Iiyou try it, all the
settings and adiustments you have made will be lost.
The previously existing model is overwritten by the
base type. and is thus erased permanently.
In ‘Menu 3' you will find the menu point “Base type".
You can select this menu point, open the adjust field
for the base type, and leaf through the available base
W998-
_ Enter the menu cycle
On to “Select base type”
Open select field (flashes)
Select a base type with EIEi or the
Dial-adiustor
For safety's sake the software now asks you again
whether you really want to change the base type:
This safety question gives you your last ones to
rescue the settings for your existing model. Thus you
should only answer YES at this point ifyou went to
start programming all over again. if not, press the I
tuition: three times, and you are back at the operating
disp y.

Quick start
We have prepared two forms 01 quick start for you:
brief and to the point, but without much in the way of
explanation.
“The iiret teet"aeeumes that you have set out the
transmitter receiver and a few servos on the
workbench and just went to get it all working so that
you can play around with it.
"The first model" (=> p. 9) illustrates how to enter the
details of your models imo the PROFI inc 4000, using
an F139 model as an example.
“The first ”immune p. 12) illustrates the first
steps with a helicopter. using a chopper with 3 servos
arranged at 120° around the rotor head.
1. The first test
a.) Charging the transmitter and receiver
batteries
' Switch the transmitter on. After about 2 seconds the
operating screen will appear. In the third line of the
display you will see the voltage of your transmitter
battery.
n r please
refer to section L).
it your transmitter emits a continuous beeping sound,
the battery monitor has tripped, and you will have to
charge yourtranemitter battery before using it.
b.) Preparing a receiving system using on RX
12 DS recemr
First plug crystals into the transmitter HF module and
receiver (= 23).
You can now connect the receiving wstern
components. The next illustration shows where the
jumpers have to belitted' in the RX 12 DS receiver,
and where the receiver battery IS connected (using a
battery harness, of course).
it you are using a for your test,
then you must fast select the transmission mode
appropriate to your receiver. The method is described
in section e.).
Fig. 1: Rx 12 Ds saucers and jumpers
Receiver battery to socket B (1-6)!
Jumpers In socket 5 (7-12) m B (HF)!
Jumper in socket 12 (Pm active)!
it you remove the jumper from socket 12, the receiver
operates in 12 channel mode (PPM 12). However, the
9 mode.
c.) Switch on the transmitter
After about 2 seconds the screen should show the
operating display (¢ illustration left). It not, first refer .
to section 1.) then continue with section d.).
d. ) Select channel
The monitor receiver in your transmitter must be "told"
which channel you wish to use, i. e whet number
crystal‘ is plugged into the transmitter HF module and
receiver.
The channel you select must bethe some as theas
cryehl channel fitted In the RF module!
This is how you select the Chennai-Check channel: '
Hold button pressed in, then switch
transmitter on.
Release the B button again alter you
have switched on.
swiwhing on in this way takes you to Power~on
1. The RF module is switched oft when you call up
this menu.
On to the menu “Select channel“
