High Response System (H.R.S) Precautions

ｉ

Caution

When using the T3PKs in the high response system (HRS) mode, always use it under the follow-

ｅ

ing conditions:

Receiver: R203HF, R303FHS or other high response system (HRS) compatible receiver
Servos : 6V Futaba digital servo
Battery : 6V NiCd battery
Transmitter mode : HRS mode (See p.42 for setting method.)

If the conditions are different, control is impossible.
And Fail Safe Unit (FSU) is not available.

Operation Precautions

Warning

ｉ

Do not operate two or more models on the same frequency at the same time.

ｇ

Operating two or more models at same time on the same frequency will cause interference and loss of control of both models.

AM, FM (PPM) and PCM are different methods of modulation. Nonetheless the same frequency can not be used
at the same point in time, regardless of the signal format.

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

ｇ

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

Do not operate in the following places.

ｇ

-Near other sites where other radio control activity may occur.

-Near people or roads.

-On any pond when row 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.

8

Warning

ｉ

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

ｇ

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.

Extend the transmitter antenna to its full length.

ｅ

If the transmitter antenna is not fully extended the operating range of the radio will be reduced.

Always perform a operating range check prior to use.

ｅ

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 can not 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.

Check the transmitter antenna to be sure it is not loose.

ｅ

If the transmitter antenna works loose, or is disconnected while the model is running signal transmission will be lost.
This will cause you to lose control of the model. Rotate the antenna softly with your fingers when checking whether it is
loosely or firmly fixed, Do not screw the antenna forcibly. Otherwise its antenna-holding part can be damaged.

ｉ

Caution

Do not touch the engine, motor, speed control or any part of the model that will generate heat

ｇ

while the model is operating or immediately after its use.

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

Turning on the power switches.

ｅ

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 discon-

ｅ

nected.

You may unexpectedly lose control and create a dangerous situation.

When operating your model always display a frequency flag on your transmitter antenna.

ｅ

(Fail safe function) ---H.R.S or PCM mode only

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

ｅ

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

Nicad Battery Handling Precautions

(Only when Nicad batteries are used)

Warning

ｉ

Always check to be sure your batteries have been charged prior to operating the model.

ｇ

Should the battery go dead while the model is operating loss of control will occur and create a very dangerous situation.

When the model is not being used, always remove or disconnect the Nicad battery .

ｇ

Should the battery be left connected this could create a dangerous situation if someone accidentally turns on the re­ceiver power switch. Loss of control would occur.

To recharge the transmitter Nicad , use the special charger made for this purpose.

ｅ

Overcharging could cause the Nicad battery to overheat, leak or explode. This may lead to fire, burns, loss of sight and
many other type's of injuries.

ｉ

Caution

Do not use commercial AA size Ni-cd and Ni-MH batteries.

ｇ

Quick charging may cause the battery contacts to overheat and damage the battery holder.

Do not short circuit the Nicad battery terminals.

ｇ

Causing a short circuit across the battery terminals may cause abnormal heating, fire and burns.

Never insert or remove the charger while your hands are wet.

ｇ

You may get an electric shock.

Do not drop the Nicad battery or expose it to strong shocks or vibrations.

ｇ

The battery may short circuit and overheat, electrolyte may leak out and cause burns or chemical damage.

Always keep the charger disconnected from the outlet while it is not in use.

ｅ

Storage and Disposal Precautions

Warning

ｉ

Do not leave the radio system or models within the reach of small children.

ｇ

A small child may accidentally operate the system, this could cause a dangerous situation and injuries. Nicad batteries
can be very dangerous when mishandled and cause chemical damage.

Do not throw Nicad batteries into a fire. Do not expose Nicad batteries to extreme heat. Also do

ｇ

not disassemble or modify a Nicad battery pack.

Overheating and breakage will cause the electrolyte to leak from the cells and cause skin burns, loss of sight as well as
other injuries.

When the system will not be used for any length of time store the system with batteries in a dis-

ｅ

charged 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 nicad battery may con­siderably reduce the capacity . A reduction in operating time will occur even when the batteries are charged for the rec­ommended time

10

<Nicad Battery Electrolyte>

The electrolyte in Nicad 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, 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

ｉ

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

ｇ

- 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 opreation.

If the system will not be used for a long period of time remove the batteries from the transmitter

ｅ

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.

<Nicad Battery Recycling>

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

Other Precautions

ｉ

Caution

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

ｇ

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

Always use only genuine Futaba transmitters, receivers, servos, FET amps (electronic speed

ｅ

controls),Nicad batteries and other optional accessories.

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

Do not peel off, or use the transmitter with a peeled off, crystal frequency display tab seal.

ｇ

It may cause a short circuit inside the set and the transmitter may not transmit.

Mechanical ATL adjustment

Make this adjustment when you want to decrease the stroke of the brake (back) side of
the throttle trigger for operation feel.

Adjustment

1

Using a Phillips screwdriver adjust the trigger

brake (reverse) stroke. (The screw moves the
throttle trigger stopper.)

• When the screw is turned clockwise, the stroke becomes
narrower. Adjust the stroke while watching the screw.

Note:

Once you have changed the mechanical stroke on the brake side, be sure to ad­just the scale of the throttle channel accordingly by using the "Adjuster Function"
(page102).

Due to this change, you also need to adjust in most cases the travel of the throttle
servo by using "Data Setting."

Installation Safety Precautions

Warning

ｉ

Receiver (receiver antenna)

Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire.

ｇ

Do not bundle the receiver antenna wire together with the motor controller lead wire.

ｇ

Keep the receiver antenna wire at least 1cm away from motor, battery, and other wiring carrying heavy current.

ｇ

Do not use a metal receiver antenna holder on a plate made of metal, carbon, or other conductive material.

ｇ

Install the receiver antenna holder as close as possible to the receiver.

ｅ

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.

Installation

Antenna

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

Antenna holder

Antenna wire does
not touch the plate.

Install the antenna holder as close as possible to the
receiver. The surplus antenna wire from the receiver
to the antenna holder is affected by noise. Do not use
a metal antenna holder on a plate made of metal, car­bon, or other conductive material.

Receiver vibration-proofing/waterproofing

(Car)

Vibration-proof the receiver by wrapping it in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material

ｅ

and mount it with thick double-sided tape.

When using the receiver holder supplied with the model kit, mount the holder to the chassis

ｅ

through a rubber grommet.

(Boat)

Vibration-proof the receiver by wrapping it in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material.

ｅ

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.

ｉ

Connector Connections

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

ｅ

If vibration from the model cause 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 directly come in contact 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.

Electronic speed control

Install the heat sinks where they will not come in contact with aluminum, carbon fiber or other

ｅ

parts that conduct electricity.

If the FET Amp (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.

ｅ

If capacitors are not properly installed you could experience erratic operation and reduced range as well as loss of con­trol.

Installation

"-" side"+" side

Schottky diode

23

Motors with no suppressor capacitors, or inadequate
suppression, may cause the MC800C Ver.2 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

ｅ

other metal parts.

Metal to metal contacts under vibration will omit a high frequency noise that will effect the receivers 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 items 1 to 4 below.

(Display when power switch turned on)

When the power switch is turned on, the currently selected model number is displayed.
Check of this number is model number you want to setup. To change the model number,
use the Model Select function (See page98).

Turn on the transmitter power.

(Start screen)

The model number is displayed.

1.RF Output Check

If signals are output normally, RF output monitor "RF" will
be displayed on the screen.

If "RF" is not displayed, check if the transmitter crystal and
RF module are installed.

If the transmitter is abnoemal or faulty, contact your Futaba
dealer.

Initial Set-Up

"RF"

When radio waves are not being emitted
when turned on by display switch and
when the DSC function is used, "DISP" is
displayed.

33

2. Modulation Mode Check

The signal format of the electromagnetic waves output by
the T3PKS transmitter can be changed to match the type
of receiver used. Confirm that the transmitter can be set to
match the receiver used. When using an FM receiver (e.g.
R133F), the signal format must be set to "PPM", when using a
PCM receiver (e.g., R113iP), the signal format must be set to
"PCM", and when using an HRS receiver (e.g., R203HF), the
signal format must be set to "HRS". If the setting is incorrect, change the setting using
the HRS/PCM/PPM select function (page 42).

With the R303FHS, when the power is turned on, whether the mode is the HRS or PPM
mode is judged and the receiver is operated in that mode until the power is turned off.
When the transmitter mode was changed, operation becomes possible when the receiver
power is turned on again. See page 28 for the usage precautions related to the R303FHS.

3. Throttle Mode check

-When using the T3PKS transmitter with a boat, throttle
brake operation can be shut down by setting the BOAT func­tion (page 72) *TRG-BRK item to "Cut-OFF".

End Point Adjuster "EPA"

(All channel)

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

- Correct the maximum steering angle and left and right steering angles when there is a
difference in the turning radius due to the characteristics, etc. 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)

- Program mixing slave side (all channels)

- Tilt mixing (steering, channel 3)

- Idle up (throttle)

- Start Function, Engine Cut (throttle)

- Throttle acceration (throttle)

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.

Remark

When the steering angle is insufficient even though EPA is increased to maximum

(120%), the steering angle can be increased somewhat by using program mixing.

(Setup example: See page 76.)

Warning

ｉ

Operate each servo over its full stroke and be sure

ｅ

the linkage does not bind or is loose.

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

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

Function

Adjust the throttle servo so that unreasonable force is not applied when the engine carburetor is full open, full close, and
the brakes are applied fully.
Especially, the braking effect becomes poor by heating of the brakes while running. Before running, adjust the suitable
maximum servo travel so that unreasonable force is not applied even when the servo travel is increased while running.

Throttle Acceleration "ACCEL"

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.

- When the brake mixing
function (p.70) is set, the
CH3 brake can also be set.

Set value

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

Convenient usage method

For gasoline engine 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 clearance at the transmit­ter side.

Fail Safe/Battery Fail Safe Function "F/S"

(All channel)

(This function can only be used with HRS or PCM1024 system receivers.)

Fail safe function

This function moves the steering, throttle and channel 3 servos to a preset position when
the receiver cannot receive the signal from the transmitter for some reason.

When the servo operation position is not set, this function operates so that the servos
remains in the position they were in immediately before reception was lost. When the
signal from the transmitter can be received again, this function automatically resets..

- For gasoline engine cars, it is recommended that the throttle channel be set to the direction that applies
the brakes.

- When the transmitter power is turned on, the transmitter transfers the fail safe data to the receiver and
continues to transfer the data every minute thereafter. Note that data for about 1 minute after the receiver
power is turned on is not transferred because usually, the transmitter power is turned on first and the re­ceiver power is turned on next.

Battery fail safe function

When the receiver battery voltage drops to a certain voltage or less, this function moves
the throttle servo to the position set by fail safe function. When the voltage recovers, this
function automatically resets.

Battery fail safe function ON/OFF switching (PCM only)

Battery fail save function ON/OFF can be set at the transmitter.

For HRS system, this function cannot be turned off.

When electric motor car power, especially the receiver power, is supplied from a com­mon power supply which is supplied from MC, we recommend that this function be
turned off because the receiver voltage may drop momentarily and the battery fail safe
function may be activated. (For HRS system, the fail safe function is turned off.)

Start Function, Engine Cut "START"

(Throttle system)

When the throttle trigger is set to full throttle simultaneously with starting when the
track is slippery, the car wheels will spin and the car will not accelerate smoothly. When
the Start function is activated, merely operating the throttle trigger slowly causes the
throttle servo to automatically switch from the set throttle position to a preset point so
that the tires do no loose their grip and the car accelerates smoothly.

With Start function

Tires grip the track firmly- Car accelerates

Without Start function

Start Function Operation

- When the throttle trigger is moved to the preset position (trigger position: TG.P), the
throttle servo moves to the preset position.

- When the throttle trigger is operated slowly so that the wheels will not spin, the car
automatically accelerates to the set speed.

- This function is effective only for the first throttle trigger operation at starting. This
function has to be activated before every start.

- When the throttle trigger is returned slightly, the Start function is automatically deacti­vated and the set returns to normal throttle trigger operation.

Wheels spin- Car does not accelerate

When the switch is pressed, the throttle servo will move to the preset position without
regard to the throttle trigger position. This is convenient when used to cut the engine of

A.B.S Function "A.B.S"

Fail Safe Unit

When the 3PKS is used with the Futaba fail safe unit (FSU-1), it will operate as de­scribed below.

- When the FSU-1 is connected to the throttle channel, and the A.B.S. function has
been activated, the FSU-1 LED will flash each time the servo operates. The reason
for this is that the FSU-1 responds to sudden data changes caused by A.B.S. function
pumping operation. It does not mean that the fail safe function is activated. The servo
will not be affected.

Example of A.B.S. function setting when S9451 / S9351 used
(There will be a slight difference depending on the state of the linkage.)

Brake Mixing "BRAKE"

Use this mixing when the front and rear brakes must be adjusted independently such as
1/5GP cars, etc. This mixing uses the 2nd channel to control the rear brakes and the 3rd
channel to control the front brakes.

Operation

- When braking, mixing is applied to 2nd channel 3rd channel.

- 3rd channel brake rate, delay amount, 3rd channel brake-EXP and 3rd channel
brake-A.B.S possible.

3rd chnnel A.B.S.

It is possible to adjust the Brake Return Amount (ABP), Delay Amount (DLY) and Cy­cle period (CYC) exclusively for the front brake (the 3rd CH). In doing so, you can use
the A.B.S. Function at the front side even if the A.B.S Function is off for the rear brake
(2nd CH). You can use the same procedure as the 2nd CH A.B.S Function for setting
the Cycle Period (CYC), Duty Ratio (DTY) and Steering Mixing (STM). Use SW1,
SW2, SW3 to switch the 3rd chnnel A.B.S. function ON/OFF.

Dial / Trim Setting

The function select dial function can control 3rd channel brake rate (BKRT), delay
amount (DLY), and 3rd channel brake-A.B.S return amount (ABP) ...etc setting using
button trim DL1, DL2, DL3 or digital trim DT3 etc. (See page 80)

Timer Function "TIMER"

Use the timer by selecting one of the four timers UP TIMER, DOWN TIMER, LAP

TIMER and LAP NAVIGATE timer.

UP TIMER function

- The UP TIMER can be used to count the time between start and stop, etc.

- The timer repeatedly starts and stops each time the switch
is operated and accumulates the time between each start and
stop. (When the count reaches 99 minutes 59 seconds, it re­turns to 00 minutes 00 seconds and repeats the count.)

- The first start operation can be linked to the throttle trig­ger.

- An alarm sound can be set. The passage of time is announced by sounding of a buzzer
(beeps) each minute after starting.

- Alarm: Generates a beep at the set time (minutes).

- Prealarm: Alarm advance announcement sound. Sounding starts the set time (seconds) before the
alarm. (beeps)

- After starting, the timer is enabled and can be stopped by switch even when the display
switches to another screen.

82

DOWN TIMER function

- The DOWN TIMER can be used to count the time between start and stop, etc. (The
time remaining is displayed.)

Function

- Start and stop are repeated at each switch operation and
the time between each start and stop is counted down and
displayed. The start time becomes the alarm set time.

(When the count reaches 00 minute 00 second, the down
timer operates like an up timer.)

- The first start operation can be linked to the throttle trigger.

- An alarm sound can be set. The passage of time is announced by sounding of a buzzer
(beeps) each minute after starting.

- Alarm: Generates a beep at the set time (minute).

- Prealarm: Alarm advance announcement sound. Sounding starts the set time (seconds) before the
alarm. (beeps)

- After starting, the timer is enabled and can be stopped by switch even when the display
switches to another screen.

Timer Function "TIMER"

LAP TIMER

LAP TIMER function

- The LAP TIMER can memorize each lap time of each switch operation. (98 laps)

- The race time can be set. Switch operation after the set
time by alarm has elapsed automatically stops the timer..
Prealarm can also be set. The passage of time is announced
by sounding of a buzzer (beeps) each minute after starting.

-Alarm: Generates a beep at the set time.

Prealarm: Starts sounding the set time (second) before the alarm. (beeps)

- The first start operation can be linked with the throttle trigger.

(LAP TIMER operation)

- When lap timer is selected, the number of laps (LAP) and the lap memory No. (No.)
and current lap time (TIME) are displayed on the setup screen.

- Number of laps (LAP): Counts up each time the switch is pressed after starting. The numbers blink
for 3 seconds after the switch was pressed. To prevent erroneous counting, switch operation is not
accepted during this period..

- Lap memory No. (No.): Each lap time is memorized in a lap memory. The lap times are written
sequentially from the number after the preceding data. After lap memory "No. 100", the lap No. re­turns to "No. 1".

- The lap time data memorized in the lap memory can be checked at the lap list (See p. 89) screen.

- Lap time (TIME) : During the first 3seconds, the last lap time is displayed and then the current lap
time is displayed. At starting, "0" is displayed for 3 seconds.

LAP NAVIGATE timer

LAP NAVIGATE timer function

- This function sounds a buzzer at a fixed interval after the timer starts. Since only the
buzzer can be restarted when the switch is pressed during
timer operation, this function can be used as the training
run, etc. target time. (Lap navigation alarm) The passage of
time is announced by sounding of a buzzer (beeps) every
minute after starting.

- The first start operation can be linked with the throttle
trigger.

- The alarm sounds (alarm/prealarm) can be set separately from the fixed interval buzz­er.

- Alarm: Generates a beep at the set time (minutes).

- Prealarm: Alarm advance announcement sound. Sounding starts the set time (seconds) before the

HRS ESC Setup "MCSET"

This function is used only when using an ESC like that shown below with a high re­sponse system (HRS System). This function is not used when using a Futaba ESC.

The frame rate of the transmitter output signal at setup may be counted and the
setup mode forcefully ended after a fixed time has elapsed, depending on the com­mercially available ECS. If such an ECS is used with the high response system, the
setup time will be substantially shortened and ECS setup may become difficult.
When you have an FM receiver or PCM receive, only amp setup is possible in the
PPM or PCM mode.

When using this function to make adjustments, the ECS must be directly connected to
the transmitter. Also, the following connection cords are necessary.

- Two-way cord (Must be bought separately.)

- DSC cord (Supplied with set.)
