User manual FUTABA MSA-10

[. . . ] Store this manual in a safe place where it can be used at any time. Features ·One servo signal input can simultaneously drive up to four servos. ·The neutral position, the left and right throw (individually and simultaneously), and reverse setting of each servo can be adjusted. ·A separate battery pack can be used for the servos connected to the MSA-10. [. . . ] Check the battery voltage and charge the battery quickly. appro ximate ly 65m m ·39. 8X21. 4X1. 4mm ·13g ·Common power supply connector *When receiver and servos use a common power supply, connect the common power supply connector. ·Separate battery pack input connector (BT) ·Rotary switch ·Push switch (INC) *When using a separate power supply (servo only power supply), disconnect the common power supply connector and connect the servo battery pack. The power supply voltage (4. 8 or 6V) depends on connecting servos. ·LED ·Servo output connector 1/5, 2/6, 3/7, 4/8 MSA-10 ·Push switch (DEC) [Usage Method] 1 Connect the servo input connector to the receiver servo output channel. 2 Connect the servos (maximum 4) to the servo output connectors (1/5 to 4/8) of the MSA-10. 3 Set the transmitter stick and trim to the neutral position and install the horn to each servo. 4 Adjust the neutral position of each servo using the neutral position adjustment function of the MSA-10. 5 Connect the linkage and adjust the linkage so that unreasonable force is not applied to the servo at the neutral position. 6 Push either one of the transmitter sticks fully in any direction and individually adjust the throw of the servos so that unreasonable force is not applied to the servos. Push the same transmitter stick fully in the opposite direction and individually adjust the throw of the servos so that unreasonable force is not applied to the servos. [When using a separate power supply] Even if using a receiver with Battery Fail Safe function, it can not detect the voltage of the separate power supply. Therefore check the battery voltage and charge the battery quickly. WARNING [Mounting Precautions] Dislodgement of a connector or breaking of a wire due to vibration during flight may cause a crash. Especially, since the number of wires becomes large, be sure to prevent connector dislodgement, broken wires, etc. If using an extension cord, fasten the input connector section with a fastener and take vibration countermeasures. If the extension cord is long, insert an extension cord with filter between the receiver and the MSA-10 to minimize the effects of noise, etc. Connection of a large number of short extension cords will cause a voltage drop. Vibrationproof of the MSA-10 by wrapping it in sponge rubber or some such material. [MSA-10 Settings] Notes: ·If the power switch is turned off without returning the rotary switch to 0 or 9 after function setting, the settings will not be memorized. ·After setting the rotary switch to 1 to 8, always return the it to 0 or 9 and check that the LED are stay on before turning off the power. Settings Servo reverse LED display Rotary switch (5 to 8) LED off 1 Set the rotary switch to 5, 6, 7, or 8 corresponding to the servo No. +4 (given on the MSA-10 nameplate) whose reverse you want to adjust. 2 When the transmitter stick and trim approaches the neutral position, the LED goes off. [. . . ] 3 When the LED is on, perform throw adjustment by pushing the INC or DEC push switch. 1M23N11101 LED on The LED blinks while the push switch is being pushed. Reset Rotary switch (9) 1 Sets the power supply to the off state. 3 When the power is turned on while simultaneously pushing the INC and DEC push switches, all settings return to their initial value.
