If the conditions are different, control is impossible.

And Fail Safe Unit (FSU1) is not available.

Warning

Operation Precautions

Prohibited Procedures

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

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.

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

Mandatory Procedures

Extend the transmitter antenna to its full length.

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

Full

Length

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 rowboats 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.

For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others

Always perform a 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 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.

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..

Caution

Prohibited Procedures

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.

For Your Safety As Well As That Of Others

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

Mandatory Procedures

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.

OFF

FP-R113F FM

1 2 3 B/C

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.

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

When adjusting the transmitter on land while preparing to run (cruise), take measures so that the wind will not knock over the transmitter.

If the transmitter is knocked over, the throttle stick may be accidentally set to the operating position and you may lose control.

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

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

Nicad Battery Handling Precautions

(Only when Nicad batteries are used)

Receiver and Servo Connections

When connecting and installing the receiver and servos, read the “Installation Safety Precautions” on the next page.

Installation When An FET Amp Is Used (MC800CFET Amp)

Installation For Gas Powered Models

Installation

Installation Safety Precautions

Warning

Connector Connections

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

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

Receiver Vibration Damping and Waterproofing

(Car) Dampen the vibration to the receiver by mounting to the chassis or mounting plate with thick double sided tape

Installation

in electric powered models. In gas powered models wrap the receiver in foam and mount it where the vibration is the least prevalent. (Boat) Dampen the vibration to the receiver by wrapping it in foam. Waterproof by placing it in plastic bag or watertight radio box in model.

If the receiver is subjected to strong vibration or shock erratic or loss of control may occur. If any moisture comes in contact the receiver and servos you may expertise the same result as well as damage to the system.

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 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.

Servo Throw

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

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

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.

Receiver Antenna

Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna Do not bundle the receiver antenna together with the servo lead wires Keep the receiver antenna at least 1 inch away from the motor and battery and wires that handle heavy current loads..

Cutting, bundling or routing the receiver antenna near any devise that produce noise will reduce the operating range of the system and result in loss of control.

*Also route the receiver antenna away from metal, carbon fiber and other parts that conduct electricity. These parts can transmit high frequency noise.

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.

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 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.

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"

2. Modulation Mode Check

The T3VCS transmitter output signal format can be changed to match the type of receiver. Check if the modulation mode is set to match the receiver used. When using an FM receiver (e.g., R133F), the modulation mode must be set to "PPM". When using a PCM receiver (e.g., R113iP), the modulation mode must be set to "PCM". When using a H.R.S receiver (e.g., R203HF), the modulation mode must be set to "HRS". If this setting is incorrect, change it with the HRS/PCM/PPM Select (See page 88) function.

3. Throttle Mode check

The T3VCS transmitter will automatically stop its braking

function of the throttle operation when the throttle stick is

replaced with the ratchet type for boat or other purposes.

In this case, set "BOAT" for "TH-STK" in the Throttle

Mode (See page 100). In case of using a ratchet type stick

"H.R.S"

for a car, it is possible to set the servo travel at 5:5 or 7:3

Initial Set-Up

upon your needs.

4. Trims Initial Set-Up

- Steering trim (DT1) check

At initial set-up, steering trim (Trim 1) is assigned to digital trim DT1 below the stick at the right side of the transmitter. Operate the DT1 lever and check if the steering trim display on the screen changes. After checking the trim, set the trim display to the center (N) position.

- Throttle trim (DT2) check

At initial set-up, throttle trim (Trim 2) is assigned to digital trim DT2 at the right side of the stick at the left side of the transmitter. Operate the DT2 lever and check if the throttle trim display on the screen changes. After checking the trim, set the trim display to the center (N) position.

Functions

End point adjuster/EPA (All channels)

Use this when performing steering 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)

- Throttle preset (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 68.)

Functions

! Make sure that the knuckle stopper is not contacted during steering operation and that unreasonable force is not applied to the servo during other channel operation.

If unreasonable force is applied to the servo horn at the knuckle stopper

during steering operation, the servo may malfunction and the model may

run out of control.

Functions

Throttle speed/TH-SPEED (Throttle system)

Sudden trottle stick operation on a slippery road only causes the wheels to spin and the vehicle cannot accelerate smoothly. Setting the throttle speed function reduces wasteful battery consumption while at the same time permitting smooth, enjoyable operation.

No TH-SPEED/Tires slip and vehicle does not move

Operation

Throttle servo (amp) operation is delayed so that the drive wheels will not spin even if the trottle stick is operated more than necessary. This delay function is not performed when the trottle stick is returned and at brake operation.

- Low side throttle speed (See [Operation range setup].) Use when adjusting the speed from the neutral position to the set point.

- High side throttle speed (See [Operation range setup].) Use when adjusting the high side speed from the set point.

Remark: Regarding the throttle speed set value; the actual delay value varies depending on the system (HRS, PCM, PPM). The delay when the HRS system is used is approximately 1/ 3 that of the PCM and PPM systems.

When the brakes are applied while cornering with a 4 Wheel Drive or other type of vehicle, understeer may occur. The generation of understeer can be eliminated and corners can be smoothly cleared by using this function.

Operation

- When the brakes are applied, the throttle servo will pulse intermittently. This will have the same effect as pumping the brakes in a full size car.

- The brake return amount, pumping cycle, and brake duty can be adjusted.

- The region over which the ABS is effective can be set according to the steering operation. (Mixing function)

Throttle acceleration (TH-ACCEL (Throttle system)

Functions

Start Function, Engine Cut/AT-START(Throttle system)

When the throttle stick 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 stick 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.

Without Start function

Wheels spin

- Car does not accelerate

Start Function Operation

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

- When the throttle stick 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 stick operation at starting. This function has to be activated before every start.

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

Brake mixing/BRAKE MIXING (Throttle, 3rd channel system)

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. 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). When the ON/OFF switch of the A.B.S Function is set by the Function Select Switch, the A.B.S. Function will turn on or turn off both the front and rear brakes simultaneously.

When Steering and Throttle Travel is Insufficient

When the steering servo travel is insufficient even when D/R is 100% and EPA is 120%, programmable mixing can be used to increase the travel somewhat. (Reference data)

- PROG NIX1->ON

- MST (master channel) -> ST Mixing is applied from steering

- SLV (slave channel) ->ST Mixing is applied to steering and the travel is increased.

- RGH -> 10% [When subtrim is centered (0%)]

- LFT -> 10% [When subtrim is centered (0%)]

- TRM -> OFF

- OFS -> 0%

- MXMD -> MIX

Functions

However, the operating range of the servo is exceeded even if a large value is input at RIGH and LEFT and a zone over which the servo does not operate even when

left and right. Therefore, set the RIGH and LEFT value by checking servo operation. When the throttle servo travel is insufficient at ATL 100% and EPA120%, the same action can be performed by making TH (throttle) both the MST and SLV when steering. When both steering and throttle operations are performed, use both PROG MIX1 and PROG MIX2 program mixing.

Fail safe function/FAIL SAFE

(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 safe function ON/OFF can be set by transmitter side setting. Also, with an HRS system, the battery fail safe function cannot be turned OFF.

- Rate, etc. setup (Setting range: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10%) The % value that is operated by 1 click relative to the set value of each rate can be set.

- Channel 3 (Setting range: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 3PS, 2PS) When set to the minimum "1", the channel 3 total operation width is 200 clicks. When set to "50", the channel 3 total operation width is 4 clicks. The total operation width for 3PS is 2 clicks and the total operation width for 2PS is 1 click. 3PS acts like a 3-position switch and 2PS acts like a 2-position switch.

CH3 allocation

Although being the three-position switch, SW2 does not work as a three-position switch in the case that CH3 function is allocated to the SW2. Suppose that CH3 is allocated to one of the positions that are "Function Selectable". The output would swing from the extreme upside to the extreme downside or to the opposite direction when the switch position is moved from "No Function Select" position to another position. The "Servo Reverse" (see page 72) and "End Point Adjuster" (see page 36) functions can set the direction and amount of the movement respectively. However, never allocate CH3 to two positions.

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

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 FET amp. If such an FET amp is used with the high response system, the setup time will be substantially shortened and FET amp 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 FET amp must be directly connected to the transmitter. Also, the following connection cords are necessary.
