2.4GHz System Precautions

Warning

Special attention should be paid before turning on the system while other cars are running or other airplanes are flying because the 2.4GHz RC system could potentially affect them.

! Be sure to set the Fail Safe function.

Receiver Mode Precautions

Caution

When using the T4PV 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.33-34 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 transmitter.

When using analog servos, always switch the T4PV servo response to the "NORM" mode.

Transmitter mode:"T-FHSS (NORM)" and "S-FHSS (NORM)" mode (See p.33-34 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.

Operation Precautions

Warning

Do not operate outdoors on rainy days, run through puddles of water or use when visibility is limited.

Should any type of moisture (water or snow) enter any component of the system, erratic operation and loss of control may occur.

Do not operate in the following places.

-Near other sites where other radio control activity may occur.
-Near people or roads.
-On any pond when passenger boats are present.
-Near high tension power lines or communication broadcasting antennas.

Interference could cause loss of control. Improper installation of your Radio Control System in your model could result in serious injury.

Do not operate this R/C system when you are tired, not feeling well or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Your judgment is impaired and could result in a dangerous situation that may cause serious injury to yourself as well as others.

Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate heat while the model is operating or immediately after its use.

These parts may be very hot and can cause serious burns.

Always perform an operating range check prior to use.

Problems with the radio control system as well as improper installation in a model could cause loss of control. (Simple range test method)

Have a friend hold the model, or clamp it down or place it where the wheels or prop cannot come in contact with any object. Walk away and check to see if the servos follow the movement of the controls on the transmitter. Should you notice any abnormal operation, do not operate the model. Also check to be sure the model memory matches the model in use.

! Turning on the power switches.

Always check the throttle trigger on the transmitter to be sure it is at the neutral position.

1. Turn on the transmitter power switch.

2. Turn on the receiver or speed control power switch.

Turning off the power switches

Always be sure the engine is not running or the motor is stopped.

1. Turn off the receiver or speed control power switch.
2. Then turn off the transmitter power switch.

If the power switches are turned off in the opposite order, the model may unexpectedly run out of control and cause a very dangerous situation.

When making adjustments to the model, do so with the engine not running or the motor disconnected.

You may unexpectedly lose control and create a dangerous situation.

Before running (cruising), check the fail safe function.

Check Method: Before starting the engine, check the fail safe function as follows:

1) Turn on the transmitter and receiver power switches.
2) Wait at least one minute, then turn off the transmitter power switch. (The transmitter automatically transfers the fail safe data to the receiver every minute.)
3) Check if the fail safe function moves the servos to the preset position when reception fails.

The fail safe function is a safety feature that minimizes set damage by moving the servos to a preset position when reception fails. However, if set to a dangerous position, it has the opposite effect. When the reverse function was used to change the operating direction of a servo, the fail safe function must be reset.

Setting example: Throttle idle or brake position

NiMH / NiCd / LiFe Battery Handling Precautions

(Only when NiMH/NiCd /LiFe batteries are used)

Warning

Never plug the charger into an outlet of other than the indicated voltage.
Plugging the charger into the wrong outlet could result in an explosion or fire.
Never insert or remove the charger while your hands are wet.
You may get an electric shock.
Do not use the T4PV transmitter's battery as the receiver's battery.
Since the transmitter's battery has an overload protection circuit, the output power will be shut down when the high current load is applied. This may result in runaway or fatal crash.
Always check to be sure your batteries have been charged prior to operating the model.
Should the battery go dead while the model is operating, loss of control will occur and create a very dangerous situation.
To recharge the transmitter battery, use the special charger made for this purpose.
Overcharging could cause the battery to overheat, leak or explode. This may lead to fire, burns, loss of sight and many other types of injuries.

Caution

Do not use commercial AA size NiCd and NiMH batteries.
Quick charging may cause the battery contacts to overheat and damage the battery holder.
Do not short circuit the battery terminals.
A short circuit across the battery terminals may cause abnormal heating, fire and burns.
Do not drop the battery or expose it to strong shocks or vibrations.
The battery may short circuit and overheat; electrolyte may leak out and cause burns or chemical damage.
When the model is not being used, always remove or disconnect the battery.
Leaving the battery connected could create a dangerous situation if someone accidentally turns on the receiver power switch. Loss of control could occur.
Always keep the charger disconnected from the outlet while it is not in use.

Storage And Disposal Precautions

Warning

Do not leave the radio system or models within the reach of small children.
A small child may accidentally operate the system. This could cause a dangerous situation and injuries. NiCd batteries can be very dangerous when mishandled and cause chemical damage.
Do not throw NiMH/NiCd/LiFe batteries into a fire. Do not expose batteries to extreme heat. Also do not disassemble or modify a battery pack.
Overheating and breakage will cause the electrolyte to leak from the cells and cause skin burns, loss of sight, and other injuries.

When the system will not be used for any length of time, store the system with NiMH/NiCd batteries in a discharged state. Be sure to recharge the batteries prior to the next time the system is used.

If the batteries are repeatedly recharged in a slightly discharged state, the memory effect of the NiMH/NiCd battery may considerably reduce the capacity. A reduction in operating time will occur even when the batteries are charged for the recommended time. (After discharge to 1cell E.V.=1V)

When a LiFe battery pack will not be used for a long time, to prevent it from deteriorating we recommend that it be kept in about the half capacity state instead of fully charged. Also be careful that the battery does not enter the over-discharged state due to self-discharge.

Periodically (about every 3 months) charge the battery.

The electrolyte in NiCd/NiMH batteries is a strong alkali. Should you get even the smallest amount of the electrolyte in your eyes, DO NOT RUB. Wash immediately with water, and seek medical attention at once. The electrolyte can cause blindness. If electrolyte comes in contact with your skin or clothes, wash with water immediately.

Warning

Do not store your R/C system in the following places.

- Where it is extremely hot or cold.

- Where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight.

- Where the humidity is high.

- Where vibration is prevalent.

- Where dust is prevalent.

- Where the system would be exposed to steam and condensation.

Storing your R/C system under adverse conditions could cause deformation and numerous problems with operation.

If the system will not be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the transmitter and model and store in a cool, dry place.

If the batteries are left in the transmitter, electrolyte may leak and damage the transmitter. This applies to the model also. Remove the batteries from it also to prevent damage.

A used battery is a valuable resource. Insulate the battery terminals and dispose of the battery by taking it to a battery recycling center.

Other Precautions

Caution

Do not expose plastic parts to fuel, motor spray, waste oil or exhaust.

The fuel, motor spray, waste oil and exhaust will penetrate and damage the plastic.

Always use only genuine Futaba transmitters, receivers, servos, ESCs (electronic speed controls), NiMH/NiCd/LiFe batteries and other optional accessories.

Futaba will not be responsible for problems caused by the use of other than genuine Futaba parts. Use the parts specified in the instruction manual and catalog.

Charge the optional FT2F1700B/2100B (LiFe) battery with the special charger in accordance with the instruction manual supplied.

When the LiFe battery will not be used for a long time, to prevent it from deteriorating we recommend that it be kept in about the half capacity state instead of fully charged. Also be careful that the battery does not enter the overdischarged state due to self-discharge. Periodically (about every 3 months) charge the battery. In addition, always remove the battery from the model and store it in a dry, cool place (15°C\~25°C).

Balance charging connector for LiFe battery charger.

Warning

Make sure not to peel off the battery film, or make any scratch by a cutter knife or the sharp edges of metal components.
Make sure not to soak or get the battery wet with water or seawater.
Make sure not to use a deformed or swollen battery.
There is a risk of explosion or fire, which is very dangerous.

Warning

Never plug it into an outlet having other than the indicated voltage.
Plugging the charger into the wrong outlet could result in an explosion or fire.
Do not insert and remove the charger when your hands are wet.
It may cause an electric shock.
Always use the special charger or a quick charger for digital proportional R/C sets to charge a digital proportional R/C set battery.
Overcharging a NiMH battery can result in burns, fire, injuries, or loss of sight due to overheating, breakage, or electrolyte leakage.

Caution

Do not plug the charger to the charging jack, if the battery is not connected to the transmitter. The transmitter may be damaged.

When the charger is not in use, disconnect it from the AC outlet.

Do this to prevent accidents and to avoid overheating.

About Transmitter Antenna and Receiver

About The Transmitter Antenna

Antenna Moving Range

If the antenna is set to the 90° vertical position, the range of the radio waves may be greater than in the horizontal position. (Different depending on the conditions.)

Warning

☒ Please do not grasp the transmitter's antenna while driving.
Doing so may degrade the quality of the RF transmission to the model.
The antenna position can be changed in the range as shown in fi gure. However, please do not apply unnecessary force or shock.
The internal cable may be damaged; thus transmitting distance decreases and it may cause malfunction.

A small glitch may occur if the transmitter antenna is brought close to servos, ESCs or other peripheral devices. This is not a serious issue, but keep it in mind (especially during setup).

Receiver Terminology

The receiver power supply can be connected to the S.BUS2 connector or each of CH1-4.

Connectors

4	:CH4	servo(CH4)
3	:CH3	servo(CH3)
2	:Throttle	servo(CH2)
1	:Steering	servo(CH1)
S.BUS2:Power /S.BUS2 connector

Receiver Installation

Install the R304SB receiver on the car as follows:

The operating range may become shorter, depending on where the receiver and the antenna are mounted.

WARNING

Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire.
Do not bend the coaxial cable. It causes damage.
Install the antenna in the higher place as shown in the figure.
Put the antenna in the antenna tube to protect it.
Keep the antenna as far away from the motor, ESC and other noise sources as you possibly can.
! Wrap the receiver with something soft, such as foam rubber, to avoid vibration. If there is a chance of getting wet, put the receiver in a waterproof bag or balloon.

Caution

Always use R304SB under the following conditions:

Battery :Power requirement Rated voltage 4.8\~7.4V (dry cell battery cannot be used) / 3.5 to 8.4V useable Matched to the ratings of the receiver and connected servo.

RX MODE : "T-FHSS(HIGH)" or "T-FHSS(NORM)" (See p.33-34 for setting method.)

Transmitter mode-"T-FHSS(HIGH)" mode :Futaba digital servo

Transmitter mode-"T-FHSS(NORM)" mode :Futaba all servo

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 trouble with servos and other equipment. Futaba will not be responsible for damage, etc. caused by combination with the products of other companies.

Transmitter mode setting

Set the transmitter to the "T-FHSS(HIGH)" mode or "T-FHSS(NORM)" mode. See page 33-34 for a description of the setting method.

Note: However, digital servos (including BLS Series brushless servo) can only be used in the T-FHSS(HIGH) mode.

Receiver and Servo Connections

Connect the receiver and servos as shown below. Connect and install the receiver and servos in accordance with "Installation Safety Precaution" on the next page.

The figure shown below is an example. The method of connecting the motor controller to the motor and battery depends on the motor controller used. Purchase the motor controller and servos separately. The receiver also depends on the set.

Installation When An Electronic Speed Control Is Used

Installation For Gas Powered Models

Installation Safety Precautions

Warning

Receiver (receiver antenna)

Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire.
Do not bundle the receiver antenna wire together with the motor controller lead wire.
Keep the receiver antenna wire at least 1cm away from motor, battery, and other wiring carrying heavy current.
Install the receiver antenna holder as closely as possible to the receiver.

If the antenna wire is cut, bundled, or routed near a noise source, the receiving sensitivity will drop, the running (sailing) range will decrease, and you may lose control of the model.

*Noise is transmitted through metal, carbon, and other conductive material, so keep the receiver antenna wire away from such parts.

Install the receiver as far away as possible from the battery, motor controller, motor, silicon cord and other noise sources. Keep it away from the antenna wire, in particular.

Receiver vibration-proofing / waterproofing

(Car)

! Vibration-proof the receiver by wrapping it in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material and mount it with thick double-sided tape.
When using the receiver holder supplied with the model kit, mount the holder to the chassis through a rubber grommet.

(Boat)

Vibration-proof the receiver by wrapping it in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material. Also waterproof the receiver by sealing it in a plastic bag.

If the receiver is exposed to strong vibration and shock, it will operate erroneously due to the invasion of water drops and you may lose control of the model.

When using the receiver holder supplied with the kit, install the receiver through a rubber grommet.

Foam rubber, etc.

Wrap the receiver in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material. Do not use hard material. Hard material does not have a vibration-proofing effect.

When mounting the receiver with double-sided tape, do not use a stiff tape. Stiff tape does not have a vibration-proofing effect.

Warning

Connector Connections

Be sure the receiver, servo, battery and connectors are fully and firmly connected.

If vibration from the model causes a connector to work loose while the model is in operation, you may lose control.

Servo Installation

When you install the servos, always use the rubber grommets provided in servo hardware bags. Mount the servos so they do not come in contact directly with the mount.

If the servo case comes in direct contact with the mount, vibration will be directly transmitted to the servo.

If this condition continues for a long time, the servo may be damaged and control will be lost.

Servo Throw

Operate each servo over its full stroke and be sure the linkage does not bind or is not loose.

The continuous application of unreasonable force to a servo may cause damage and excessive battery drain.

Decide the EPA value at the contact point.

Adjust the steering servo so that unreasonable force is not applied to the servo by the chassis at maximum servo travel.

Adjust the throttle servo so that unreasonable force is not applied when the engine carburetor is fully open, fully closed, and the brakes are applied fully.

If the brakes overheat while running, their ability to function properly decreases. Before running, adjust the suitable maximum servo travel so that unreasonable force is not applied even when the servo travel is increased while running.

Warning

Electronic Speed Control

Install the heat sinks where they will not come in contact with aluminum, carbon fiber or other parts that conduct electricity. If the ESC (Electronic speed control) heat sinks touch other materials that conduct electricity a short circuit could occur. This could result in loss of control and damage to the system.

Motor Noise Suppression

Always install capacitors to suppress noise when electric motors are used. If capacitors are not properly installed you could experience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control.

Motors with no suppressor capacitors, or inadequate suppression, may cause the receiver to malfunction. Always solder the capacitors supplied to your motor.

The Schottky diode improves the efficiency of the speed control / motor combination and provides extra protection to the brake FETs. The white ring must always face the positive side.

Other Noise Suppression Methods

! Be sure there are no metal parts in your model which under vibration can come in contact with other metal parts. Metal to metal contacts under vibration will emit a high frequency noise that will affect the receiver's performance. You could experience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of control.

Preparations (Transmitter)

Before setting the Transmitter functions, check and set these items next.

(Display when power switch turned on)

When the power switch is turned on, the currently selected model number is displayed. Check if this number is the model number you want to set-up. To change the model number, use the Model Select function (page 46).

Receiver Type Check (RX MODE)

This mode sets the RX type of the transmitter to match the receiver and servos used. The T4PV transmitter uses the telemetry type T-FHSS ("TFH") system.

It can also use the conventional S-FHSS ("SFH") system. Because the R304SB receiver supplied with the T4PV uses the telemetry type T-FHSS("TFH") system, its RX type must be set to the T-FHSS high speed mode ("TFH-HI") or the T-FHSS normal mod"TFH-NR"). Never use analog servos when the RX type was set to the T-FHSS ("TFH") 2.4GHz system high speed mode "TFH-HI" or the S-FHSS ("SFH") high speed mode "SFH-HI". The servos may be damaged. For example, if analog servos are used with a telemetry type T-FHSS receiver (R304SB, etc.), the RX type must be set"TFH-NR", and if analog servos are used with an S-FHSS receiver (R2104GF, R204FG-E, etc.), the RX type must be set to S-FHSS ("SFH-NR") system normal mode system. When using digital servos (including BLS Series brushless servos), any RX type can be used.

If the receiver used and the RX type settings are different, change the RX type using the "RX MODE" function. Which RX type is set can be checked at the HOME screen.

Receiver Type Change & How To Link

The first operation described below sets the RX type. Next, the transmitter and receiver are linked and the transmitter ID number is memorized at the receiver so that signals from other transmitters will not be received. The telemetry type T-

FHSS also simultaneously memorizes the ID n the receiver at the transmitter so that data from other receivers will not be received.

The RX type setting and transmitter and receiver linking methods are described here. Refer to the figure at the right for the edit buttons used.

1 Call the MENU 1 screen from the HOME screen by moving the (JOG) button up, down, left or right. Select "RECEIVER" by moving the (JOG) button up or down, and display the "RX MODE" screen by pressing the (JOG) button.

2 Move the cursor to "TYPE: ----" by the (JOG) button up or down operation, and select the RX type with the (+) button or (-) button.

When the (JOG) button is pressed for approximately 1 second, an electronic sound is generated and setting ends.

*When using an S-FHSS(SFH) system (R2104GF, R204GF-E, etc.) receiver, after reaching this point set the transmitter power switch to OFF and go to "Receivers other than T-FHSS" on page 36.

3 Bring the transmitter and receiver to within 50cm of each other (do not allow the antennae to touch) and turn on the receiver power.

4 Press the T4PV transmitter's (JOG) button up or down to move the cursor to "LINK: EXE". When the (JOG) button is pressed for approximately 1 second, "PUSH RX LINK SW" ap-

pears on the screen and a 20 second countdown begins. Countdown can be canceled at any time pressing the (JOG) button up/down or left/right.

5 During the 20 second countdown, push up the receiver side tact switch for approximately 2 seconds. The LED will begin to

blink red. After the receiver LED switches from blinking red to green - red - green steady light, the T4PV generates an electronic beeping sound, and "LINK:OK" and "COMPLETE!" appear on the screen. Reading of the mutual IDs ends and the memorized receiver ID number appears on T4PV screen. If an error screen

appears, linking failed. Retry linking. If the transmitter and receiver are linked normally, set the power switch to the OFF position and then return it to the PWR ON position. If the receiver LED lights green, linking was successful. Now check servo operation.

*The T4PV and a telemetry type T-FHSS receiver (R304SB, etc.) mutually memorize the combined ID linked last at each model memory.

Since the T4PV can memorize only 1 receiver ID at each model memory, multiple T-FHSS receivers cannot be used with the same model memory. When changing the receiver at the same model memory, re-link the previously linked receiver.

When using multiple telemetry type T-FHSS receivers, link and combine them with each T4PV model memory.

However, multiple receivers cannot be linked to multiple model memories.

The telemetry function communications status can be checked at the HOME screen.

The telemetry ON/OFF and communication status can be checked at the HOME screen.

Telemetry function :OFF- Telemetry function :

• Telemetry function :ON
• Receiver ID setting complete
• Data receiving sensitivity display

• TH-OFF shows that data cannot be received because it is outside the data receiving range or because of the effects of an obstruction or the receiver power is OFF after receiver ID check.

• Receiver ID before setting or ID mismatch.

• When the receiver ID is set, before ID check in the receiver power OFF stat.

Receivers Other Than T-FHSS

1 Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each other, within 20 inches (half meter).
2 Turn on the transmitter.
3 Turn on the receiver.
4 Push the tactile switch of the receiver. When the link is complete, the LED in the receiver changes to solid green.

Precaution:

If there are many Futaba 2.4GHz systems (T-FHSS/ S-FHSS) turned on in close proximity to your receiver might not link to your transmitter. In this case, even if the receiver's LED stays solid green, unfortunately the receiver might have established a link to one of other transmitters. This is very dangerous if you do not notice this situation. In order to avoid the problem, we strongly recommend you to double-check whether your receiver is really under control by your transmitter by giving the stick input and then checking the servo response.

*Please refer to the table below for LED status vs receiver's condition.

LED status vs receiver's condition:

No signal reception Red : On
Receiving signals Green: On
Receiving signals, but ID is unmatched. Green: Blink	1 (T-FHSS ,Red : On)
Unrecoverable failure (EEPROM,etc.) LED: Red and Green turn on	alternately

*1: LED could be change to red during intermittently during data processing.

Warning

After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check if the receiver to be linked is really under the control of your transmitter.
Do not perform the linking procedure with motor's main wire connected or the engine operating as it may result in serious injury.

The throttle servo travel can be set to 5:5 or 7:3 for throttle trigger operation as required by the throttle mode function (page 88).

Trims Initial Set-Up

- Steering trim (DT1) check

On the initial set-up, steering trim is assigned to the DT1 trim lever upper right side of the steering wheel. Operate the DT1 and make sure the marker moves on the ST graph. If default has been changed, test steering trim in its new location. After checking the trim, set the trim display to the center (N) position.

- Throttle trim (DT2) check

On the initial set-up, throttle trim is assigned to the DT2 trim lever upper left side of the steering wheel. Operate the DT2 and make sure the marker moves on the TH graph. If the default has been changed, test the throttle trim in its new location. After checking the trim, set the trim display to the center (N) position.

Throttle trim (DT2) Steering trim (DT1)

- Steering dual rate (DT5) check

At initial set-up, steering dual rate (D/R) is assigned to the DT5 trim lever, at the grip of the transmitter. Operate the DT5 and check if the D/R value displayed on the screen changes. After checking D/R, set the steering dual rate to 100%.

- Throttle ATL (DT6) check

At initial set-up, throttle ATL (ATL) is assigned to the DT6 trim lever, below the DT5. Operate the DT6 and check if the ATL value displayed on the screen changes. After checking ATL, set throttle ATL to 100%.

(Set-Up Procedure When Installed In a Car)

When installing the servos in a car, performing function set-up in the following order is recommended.

1 Perform step 1 to Trims Initial Set-Up of Preparations on the preceding page.
2 Set the servo direction of operation using the Reverse function. (p.50)

- The servo installation method and linkage direction depend on the kit. Therefore, the servo operation direction may have to be reversed relative to transmitter operation. Before installing the servo, check the operating direction and set it using the Reverse function.

3 Set the subtrim and adjust the servo neutral point. (p.51)
4 Set the trigger travel by adjusting the throttle trigger mechanical ATL to your liking. (p.22)

- When the stroke was adjusted, compensate the throttle by adjuster function. (p.127)

5 Set EPA of each channel and adjust the servo throw (travel). (p.52)

End Point Adjuster "END POINT"

(All channel)

Use this when performing left and right end point adjustments, throttle high side/brake side operation amount adjustment, or channel 3 and channel 4 servo up side/down side operation amount adjustment during linkage.

- Correct the maximum steering angle for left and right steering angles when there is a difference in the turning radius due to the characteristics of the vehicle.

Maximum steering angle

The EPA function basically determines the maximum steering angle of each channel.

The functions shown below may have been adjusted or the operating range set by EPA function may be exceeded. Check the linkage each time the following functions are adjusted.

• Sub trim (all channels) ...... P51
• Program mixing slave side (all channels) .....P78
• Idle up (throttle) P89
• Throttle off, Engine Cut (throttle) ...... P91
• Throttle acceleration (throttle) ...... P63

ATL trim

ATL trim allows adjustment of the brake side operation amount during operation.

Therefore, when the operating angle is adjusted with throttle EPA, ATL trim must also be taken into account.

Warning

Operate each servo over its full stroke and be sure the linkage does not bind or is not loose.

The continuous application of unreasonable force to a servo may cause damage and excessive battery drain.

Decide the EPA value at the contact point.

Adjust the steering servo so that unreasonable force is not applied to the servo by the chassis at maximum servo travel.

Adjust the throttle servo so that unreasonable force is not applied when the engine carburetor is fully open, fully closed, and the brakes are applied fully.

If the brakes overheat while running, their ability to function properly decreases. Before running, adjust the suitable maximum servo travel so that unreasonable force is not applied even when the servo travel is increased while running.

Fail Safe Mode (F/S)

This function moves each servo to a preset position when the receiver cannot receive signals from the transmitter for some reason.

-The fail safe data is transferred from the transmitter to the receiver 10 seconds after the transmitter power was turned on. The data is transferred every 5 seconds after that. Be careful because normally the transmitter power is turned on first and the receiver power is turned on next and the data is transferred for approximately 10 seconds after the receiver power is turned on. -For GP cars, for safety we recommend that this fail safe function be used to set the throttle channel in the direction in which the brakes are applied.

Hold mode (HOLD)

This function holds the receiver in its position immediately before reception was lost. It is the T-FHSS type (R304SB...etc) and the S-FHSS type (R2104GF...etc) receiver only function.

Off mode (OFF)

This function stops output of signals to the servos and places the servos into the free state when the receiver cannot receive.

The F/S, HOLD, and OFF modes are automatically reset when signals from the transmitter can be received again.

Battery fail safe function (B-FS)

If the receiver battery voltage drops below a certain value when this function is enabled, the throttle servo moves to the position set by fail safe function. When the battery voltage recovers, the battery fail safe function is automatically reset.

Throttle Acceleration "TH ACCEL"

(Throttle system)

The servo will jump to the input position at its maximum possible speed. Unlike exponential, which adjusts the whole throttle movement into a curve, throttle acceleration simply "jumps" away from neutral and then leaves the remaining response linear.

Operation

• Operation near the throttle trigger neutral position becomes a sharp rise.
• The forward and brake sides can be set separately.

Set value

The standard value (100% point) of this setup affects the operation amount set by throttle EPA function.

Convenient usage method

For nitro powered cars, the linkage must have a clearance because one servo controls the engine carburetor and brake. Thus, there is a noticeable time delay at both the forward and brake sides. Sharp response comparable to that of electric motor cars is obtained by reducing this clean the transmitter side.

ID

Displays the ID of the servo whose parameters are to be read. It cannot be changed.

SMOT (Smoother)

This function makes servo operation smooth. Set it according to your taste. Normally set it to "ACT". Set it to "INH" when you want especially quick operation. When the smoother function is set to "ACT" and the servo is operated, the distance up to the target position is changed in steps so movement is smooth.

DEAD (Dead band)

The dead band angle at stopping can be specified. [Relationship between dead band set value and servo operation] Small - Dead band angle is small and the servo is immediately operated by a small signal change. Large - Dead band angle is large and the servo does not operate at small signal changes. (Note) If the dead band angle is too small, the servo will operate continuously and the current consumption will increase and the life of the servo will be shortened. SX LINK 

DAMP (Damper)

The characteristic when the servo is stopped can be set. When smaller than the standard value, the characteristic becomes an overshoot characteristic. If the value is larger than the standard value, the brake is applied before the stop position. Especially, when a large load is applied, overshoot, etc. are suppressed by inertia and hunting may occur, depending on the conditions. If hunting (phenomena which cause the servo to oscillate) occurs even though the Dead Band, Stretcher, Boost and other parameters are suitable, adjust this parameter to a value larger than the initial value. [Relationship between damper set value and servo operation] Small - When you want to overshoot. Set so that hunting does not occur. Large - When you want to operate so that braking is not applied. However, it will feel like the servo response has worsened. (Note) If used in the hunting state, not only will the current consumption increase, but the life of the servo will also be shortened. 

ESC Link Function "MC LINK"

This is a special function which lets you set the contents of the Link software which performs Futaba electronic motor speed controller (ESC), MC960CR, MC940CR, MC-950CR, MC851C, MC602C, MC402CR, etc. variable frequency and other data changes at the T4PV transmitter. However, some data changes require a PC and Link software. This function is used by connecting the ESC directly to the transmitter. The T4 power switch is used at the display side. Use the various optional servo extension cords according to the distance between the transmitter and ESC. The last data read from ESC to T4PV or the last data written from T4PV to ESC is saved to the T4PV. Since the data for each model memory can be saved, the data of up to 40 models can be saved. -When the T4PV battery voltage drops, the display switches to low battery display. Therefore, use this function when there is ample battery capacity remaining. -Also connect the battery at the ESC side. -Note: Do not read to the T4PV an MC940/960CR whose speed was set to over 99990rpm by Link software side Boost Angle rpm setting.

Setup item

MIn-(PWM FREC MIN LD) 100Hz\~10000Hz (10kHz) MC950CR:500Hz\~30000Hz (30kHz) Same as Link software PWM frequency (at Min. load). MIn sets the "0"A PWM frequency at minimum load. MAX-(PWM FREC MAX LD) 100Hz\~10000Hz (10kHz) MC950CR:500Hz\~30000Hz (30kHz) Same as Link software PWM frequency (at Max. load). MAX sets the PWM frequency at maximum load at the output current limit value set by Current Limiter. 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. 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%". CLM-(CURRENT LIMIT) 50A\~300A (MC950CR:50A\~300A), OFF Same as Link software Current Limiter. Current Limiter sets the current value at maximum load here. Since setting of the MAX is based on the output current limit value set by Current Limiter, Current Limiter does not have to be turned OFF except when a current exceeding 300A is generated. "MIn", which sets the frequency when the load is small, is set to the high frequency side (large value) when extension is desired after straightaways 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.

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 voltage to prevent the receiver from stopping operation when the supply of voltage to the receiver becomes insufficient while running due to a drop in the power supply voltage. When the power supply voltage recovers, power is supplied to the motor once more.

DBA-(DEAD BAND) ±2μs\~±50μs

Same as Link software Dead Band. This sets the range (neutral point range) over which the ESC does not respond to transmitter throttle operation. The larger the set value, the wider this range.  

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 running. 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 output 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 forward side and current is output to the motor, this function begins to operate when the motor is run during trim adjustment, etc.

FWB-(FORWARD BOOST) 0\~100 (except MC850C)

Same as Link software Forward Boost. Operation near the throttle trigger (stick) neutral position becomes a sharp rise. 

BMD-(BRAKE MAX DUTY) 0%\~100%

Same as Link software Brake Max. Duty. This setting can set the braking force between the neutral point and Max brake point. The larger this value, the greater the braking force. When set to "0%", the brakes are not effective.

RMD-(REVERSE MAX DUTY) w/back only 0%\~100%

Same as Link software Reverse Max. Duty. This setting can set the reverse power between the neutral point and Max reverse point. The larger this value, the greater the reverse power. When set to "0%", the reverses are not effective. 

MC950CR only setup item


REV-(REV CANCEL) BRk /REV Same as Link software Reverse Cancel.

When set to BRk, reverse operation is not performed. LA-(LEAD ANGLE) 0\~1500 Same as Link software Lead Angle. The lead angle of the motor can be set at the MC950CR side. However, we recommend that it normally be set to "0". Since this setting is premised on setting by referring to the speed log by the Link software, independent use of the MC LINK function of the T4PV is recommended.

Min-(PWM FREC MIN LD) 1kHz(1000Hz)\~30kHz (30000Hz) Same as Link software PWM frequency (at Min. load). MIn sets the "0"A PWM frequency at minimum load. MAX-(PWM FREC MAX LD) 1kHz(1000Hz)\~30kHz (30000Hz) Same as Link software PWM frequency (at Max. load). MAX sets the PWM frequency at maximum load at the output current limit value set by Current Limiter. BRK-(PWM FREC BRK LD) 1kHz(1000Hz)\~30kHz (30000Hz) Same as Link software Brake PWM at frequency. This setting can set the brake PWM frequency. 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%". CLM-(CURRENT LIMIT) 50A\~500A Same as Link software Current Limiter. Current Limiter sets the current value at maximum load here. Since setting of the MAX is based on the output current limit value set by Current Limiter, Current Limiter does not have to be turned OFF except when a current exceeding 300A is generated. "Min", which sets the frequency when the load is small, is set to the high frequency side (large value) when extension is desired after straightaways 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.

LBP-(LOW BATTERY VOLT) 2.5V\~7.5V

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 voltage to prevent the receiver from stopping operation when the supply of voltage to the receiver becomes insufficient while running due to a drop in the power supply voltage. When the power supply voltage recovers, power is supplied to the motor once more. 

DBA-(DEAD BAND) ±2μs\~±50μs

Same as Link software Dead Band. This sets the range (neutral point range) over which the ESC does not respond to transmitter throttle operation. The larger the set value, the wider this range. 

REV-(REV CANCEL) BRK /REV

Same as Link software Reverse Cancel. When set to BRk, reverse operation is not performed.

BMD-(BRAKE MAX DUTY) 0%\~100%

Same as Link software Brake Max. Duty. This setting can set the braking force between the neutral point and Max brake point. The larger this value, the greater the braking force. When set to "0%", the brakes are not effective.

RMD-(REVERSE MAX DUTY) w/back only 0%\~100%

Same as Link software Reverse Max. Duty. This setting can set the reverse power between the neutral point and Max reverse point. The larger this value, the greater the reverse power. When set to "0%", the reverses are not effective.   Page 1

BKS-(BRAKE SLOPE) 0\~300 (Only when used TBM-LEV2)

Same as Link software Brake Slope. This function adjusts the braking effect when the throttle was returned (throttle off). It cancels operation like that called engine brake of actual vehicles.

BEC-(BEC VOLT)6.0V /7.4V

Same as Link software BEC Volt. The receiver BEC voltage can be selected from 6.0V and 7.4V. Match the voltage to the rating of the servo connected to the same receiver. This BEC voltage cannot output a voltage higher than the input voltage.  Page 1

TBM-(TURBO MODE) OFF /LV1 /LV2

Same as Link software Turbo Mode. 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. 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. When "LAU" (LEAD ANGLE USE) is turned on, "LA" (LEAD ANGLE) is the lead angle that can be set. In addition, the "BOOST ANGLE" and "BOOST ANGLE RPM" can be set.  Page 2 Page 2  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) is set to "0". Graph [B] shows the relationship when a value other than "0" is 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 angle 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).   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.

Telemetry "TELEMETRY"

With the telemetry system, the running status can be displayed at the transmitter and also recorded as a data log by mounting various sensor units to the chassis. The T4PV displays four kinds of information on the HOME screen; receiver power source (battery) voltage, external power supply (drive battery) voltage, speed, and temperature. * The telemetry function is compatible with only the T-FHSS system. * The telemetry function requires a corresponding receiver. (R304SB) * Only T4PV 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. The figure (p.115) is an example of connection of a telemetry sensor. The data of 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 T4PV system, each slot No. of a telemetry sensor must be set to its initial value. Since the slot No. can be changed for other aircraft type transmitters (T4PX, 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 T4PV, 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 (T4PX, etc.). With the T4PV, the set slot No. cannot be checked or changed. So, essentially, if a sensor has been used in a 4PX, and you want to use the same sensor with your 4PV, you must first change the slot number through the 4PX or it will not work in your 4PV.
