User manual FUTABA 3PL-2.4G

[. . . ] 3PL-2. 4G 3-channel, FHSS Radio control system for Cars INSTRUCTION MANUAL 1M23N23002 R Digital Proportional R/C System Thank you for purchasing a Futaba FHSS 3PL 2. 4GHz system. This system is based on the combination of the newly developed 2. 4GHz transmitter and its corresponding receiver. Before using your 3PL 2. 4GHz system, read this manual carefully and use your R/C set safely. FHSS 3PL 2. 4GHz system · 2. 4GHzSS (Spread Spectrum) radio communication system · Frequency channel setting unnecessary: Sifting the channels within the 2. 4GHz band automatically, this system minimizes the interference from other 2. 4GHz system. [. . . ] Make sure the contacts are free of corrosion. 1 2 3 4 Remove the battery cover from the transmitter by sliding it in the direction of the arrow in the figure. Pay very close attention to the polarity markings and reinser t accordingly. Slide the battery cover back onto the case. Check: Turn the power switch on the transmitter to the ON position. If the voltage is low, check the batteries for insufficient contact in the case or incorrect battery polarity. Low Battery Alarm: If the transmitter battery voltage drops below 4. 2V an alarm will sound and "LOW" will be displayed on the LCD screen. The low battery alarm is meant to be a safety feature only. Always shut your radio off as soon as possible after the low battery warning tone to avoid loss of control. 10 Before Operation E. S. C. MC230CR / MC330CR Applicable motors (Number of turns is criteria. ) ·Use the MC230CR with a motor with 20T or more turns. ·Use the MC330CR with a motor with 13T or more turns. *If a motor with a number of turns smaller than the above is used, the heat protector and overcurrent protection circuit may operate. Depending on the running conditions, the protection circuit may operate even if the condition above is satisfied. Checker LED Pushbutton switch (Orange) (Blue) Motor connector Connects to the motor. If the motor rotates in the wrong direction, reverse the connections. (Black) Nicd battery connector (Red) Connects to the running Nicd battery. (Black) is negative.

Before Operation 11 Assembly / Adjustment Receiver and Servo Connection As you connect the receiver, servos and other components, do so in accordance with the "Assembly Precautions". Connections when an E. S. C. MC230CR or MC330CR is used. Connects to Motor Connects to Battery E. S. C. Power Switch (CH4) (CH2) Channel 4 Servo (CH3) Channel 3 Servo Receiver (CH1) Steering Servo Gas Powered Model (CH4) Channel 4 Servo (CH3) Channel 3 Servo (B) Receiver To Receiver Battery (CH2) Throttle Servo Power Switch (CH1) Steering Servo Receiver Antenna Installation Install the R2004GF receiver on the car as follows: Note: The operating range may become shorter, depending on where the receiver and the antenna are mounted. Antenna Antenna tube WARNING Install the antenna in the higher place as shown in the figure. Keep the antenna as far away from the motor, ESC and other noise sources as possible. Doing so causes damage. Coaxial cable R2004GF 12 Assembly / Adjustment Assembly Precautions WARNING Check the receiver, servos, and battery connectors, to be sure they are firmly connected. If a connector is not fully inserted, vibration may cause the connector to work loose while the model is operating. Operate each servo horn over its full stroke and check to see that the linkage does not bind or is not too loose. Excessive force applied to the servo horn by binding or poor installation may lead to servo problems and result in loss of control. (Electric Cars and Boats) Isolate the receiver from vibration by attaching to the chassis or mounting plate with thick double sided tape. (Gas Powered Cars and Boats) Isolate the receiver from vibration by wrapping it in foam rubber or similar type cushioning material. Protect the unit from water damage by placing it in a plastic bag or waterproof radio box. Any contact with moisture (water or condensation) may cause receiver malfunction and loss of control.
