Features
Thank you for purchasing a Proton Control Systems product. Before operating your Husky transmitter and Ken receiver, please read this manual carefully. Then retain it for future reference.
1. Features
No crystal needed to change frequencies
The frequencies of most transmitters and receivers are adjusted by changing the crystals. Enthusiasts who want to change frequencies must purchase extra crystal sets to prevent interference between same frequencies. To complicate matters further there are so many types of crystals based on modulation (FM/AM, PPM/PCM), conversion type (Single/Dual) and Radio makers. To solve this problem, Proton Control Systems adapted PLL (Phase Loop Lock) technology to your Husky transmitter and Ken receiver. The preferred frequencies are selectable sim­ply by pressing buttons.
Works with all popular FM transmitters & receivers
Your Husky transmitter and Ken receiver are each compatible with all popular FM trans­mitters and receivers. These include A class (FutabaTM, HitecTM) and B class (JRTM, SanwaTM,
KO
TM
). This flexibility allows you to use different brand transmitters and receivers.
USB port for PC game control
Your Husky is more than a transmitter for your R/C models. Use your Husky transmitter to control your PC games too! Husky comes with a built-in USB port for connecting to your personal computer. Now you can practice at home before the big race. Better still, your race will never be rained out.
Easy to change grip direction for left or right-hander
Husky's symmetrical design allows you to quickly change format from right- to left-hand grip. Just unscrew 4 screws and rotate the body 180
O
degrees. Who's better than Husky?
Programming features
The program settings on your Husky consist of 3 levels (Expert, Standard, Basic) and 3 modes (System, Pit, Circuit). The programs are simple to set, but offer many powerful func­tions.
Features
Preparation
2. Preparation
- Husky, 2 Channel FM transmitter
Adaptation for Left-hander
Huskies are produced for right-handers. However the grip direction can be changed for left-handers.
1. Make sure that the Power switch in set to OFF.
2. Carefully remove the 4 screws from the bottom cover of the control panel.
3. Separate control panel and body
4. Rotate head 180
O
degrees and reinstall the 4 screws being careful not over tight-
en them.
Preparation
Antenna Installation
The antenna included with your Husky is safely stored in a slot under the control panel. To remove the antenna, pull back the plastic retainer cap located at the front of your Husky transmitter, then slide the antenna out. Insert the base of the antenna into the antenna receptacle at the top of the control panel. Then screw the antenna clockwise until it is firmly attached. Be careful not to over tighten the an­tenna.
NOTE The antenna should be fully extended while transmitting. Otherwise the operating range of the system will be reduced and loss of control may occur.
Loading the batteries
Your Husky transmitter requires 8 AA batteries (not included). Alkaline batteries will provide power for approximately 7 hours of use. The battery box is located at the bottom of the transmitter body.
1. Make sure that the Power switch is set to the OFF position.
2. Release the hook and pop up automatically the battery cover.
3. Pull down the battery holder and disconnector from the battery case and install the batteries into the holder.
4. Plug in the connector and replace battery holder into the battery case and push down the battery cover until it locks in place.
Charging
The changing jack is located on the back side of control panel and marked "12V ". Before start charging, make sure the rechargeable NiCd batteries are instal­led and power switch is set to the OFF position. For charging the transmitter, the charger must have below specification. Otherwise it may damage the transmitter or not be charged.
Input voltage : 110V 60 Hz for USA, 230V 50 Hz for Europe Output voltage : DC 10.8V 150 mAh Charge jack polarity :
Typical slow charge rates are DC 10.8V, 150mA for 12 hours, while most Sanyo brand AAs can be charged at up to 1 Amp.
NOTE Never charge a dry cell type (Non-NiCd) battery. Charging a non NiCd battery may damage the transmitter, and could cause the battery electrolyte to leak and cause additional damage.
Preparation
Power switch
The Power switch is a small toggle switch located back of the Control Panel near the base of the antenna. It can be set to On, Off and Standby (S/B) modes. Power On and Off is same as any other electronic device. Standby (S/B) allows you to pro­gram all functions without transmitting a signal. This is useful for making adjust­ments while not affecting others that may be on the same frequency. Standby (S/B) mode also uses about 2/3 less power. If you plan to work in a programming mode for any length of time or use your Husky as a PC game controller, using Standby will extend your battery life. "STB" appears on the LCD display in Standby (S/B) mode.
Battery voltage is displayed both numerically and graphically on the LCD display. The graphical depiction is a vertical bar on the right side of the display. The length of the power level bar is gradually reduced according to current consumption. When voltage drops below 8.7 volts, the bar flashes and an alarm will sound.
NOTE At low voltage, immediately stop the model and change the batteries. Otherwise loss of model control may result.
Direct Servo Control (using optional cable)
DSC allows you to operate the servos and speed controller in your system without transmitting (RF) radio frequency. This is ideal for pit checking your radio setup while others are operating on the same frequency.
To operate, plug the radio connector end of the DSC cable into the DSC jack loca­ted behind the control panel of your Husky. The other male end of the DSC cable is inserted in the battery slot on your Ken receiver.
USB Connection (using optional cable)
Your Husky has a USB port located behind the control panel. It allows connecting Husky to your computer to control PC games. To transfer control data from your Husky transmitter, you need to connect the transmitter to your computer. With the transmitter switch on standby position, plug the "B" type end of the USB cable into the USB port located on the back of your Husky. The "A" type end of the USB cable plugs in the USB slot on the backor front of your computer.
NOTE USB cables are available in a variety of lengths at your local computer store.
Preparation
Standing
The large control panel at the top of your Husky makes the unit somewhat top­heavy. We recommend your Husky stands as illustrated right. This allows better stability, grip direction and easy of pick-up.

Preparation
- Ken, 2 Channel FM Receiver
Installation
For best performance, your Ken receiver should be firmly affixed and connected on the model according to the procedure below.
1. Clean surface where your Ken is to be mounted.
2. Mount Ken with double-side adhesive tape (included) as close to the antenna
mast as possible.
3. Run the antenna wire up through the plastic antenna tube.
4. Put servo plugs into slots 1 & 2; power plug into slot B.
(Your Ken receiver accepts standard Futaba, JR, Hitec, new Ko and Sanwa Z connectors).
NOTE Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna. Cutting, bundling or routing the receiver antenna near any device that produces noise (RF) will reduce the operating range of the system and result in loss of control. Some drivers remove the case to reduce weight, but this can cause serious damage to the circuitry from dirt or water. Removing the case will void Proton Control System's product warranty.
Frequency setting
The Ken is a crystal-free receiver. It does not need crystals for changing frequen­cies. Each available frequency has been assigned a two-digit channel number, which you can locate at the back of this manual. There is a two-digit LED display on your Ken receiver with corresponding adjustment buttons. Select the correct channel number from the back of this manual and then enter that number into your Ken receiver using the adjustment buttons. When power is first applied to the receiver, the LED will light for 3 seconds and then turn off. Pressing either ad­justment button will light the display again.
NOTE The receiver frequency should be changed on same frequency transmitting. Other­wise it casue servo damage and unexpected accident.

Safety
2. Safety
Transmitter and receiver
- Do not operate two or more models on the same frequency at the same time. This
will cause interference and loss of control of both models. AM, FM(PPM) and PCM are different methods of modulation. Nonetheless the same frequency cannot be used at the same point in time, regardless of the signal format.
- 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.
- 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.
- Check the transmitter antenna to be sure it is not loose. If the transmitter anten-
na works itself loose, or is disconnected while the model is running, signal trans­mission will be lost. This will cause you to lose control of your model.
- Be sure to turn on power switches in the proper sequence. At startup, turn on
transmitter first, then the receiver. At shutdown, turn off the receiver first, then the transmitter.
NOTE Before powering on, always check the throttle trigger on the transmitter to be sure it is at the neutral position. When turn off the system power switches always be sure the en­gine is not running. If the power switches are turned off in reverse order, your model may unexpectedly and dangerously run out of control. The signal is transmitting after 5 seconds from turning on the power switch. The 5 seconds are needed for synthesizing the frequency. So receiver power is turned on at least after 5 seconds from the transmitter power on.
Operating
- Use this product in surface models only. (Car, Boat etc.)
- 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 compo­nent of the system, erratic operation and loss of control may occur.
- Do not operate your 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 seri­ous injury to yourself as well as others.
- Do not operate your R/C model in the following places: sites where you may in-
terfere with other radio control activity, where the general public can be found, on public roads and near high-tension power lines or communication broadcasting antennas.
- Do not leave your R/C system or model within the reach of small children. A
small child may accidentally operate the system and injuries may result.
Battery
- Ni-Cd batteries can be very dangerous when mishandled and cause chemical
damage.
- In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, immediately wash
the contaminated skin with soap and plenty of water. Contact your local health care provider.
- In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks inside the transmitter. Contact the
PCS service center.
- When the model is not being used, always remove or disconnect the Ni-Cd Bat-
tery. Should the battery be left connected this could created a dangerous situa­tion if someone accidentally turns on the receiver power switch. Loss of control would occur.
- Always follow your battery manufacturer's directions fully. Do not attempt to dis-
assemble, short circuit, or subject the battery to high temperature or fire.
- Your transmitter has been designed to operate correctly using a variety of AA-size
batteries currently available. These include 1.5 volt alkaline and rechargeable 1.2 volt Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries.
- Replace all batteries of a set at the same time. New batteries should not be mixed
with used ones. Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries. Do not mix alkaline or Ni-Cd types of batteries. Do not mix different grades or brands of batteries. Failure to observe this precaution may result in some batteries in a set being driven beyond their normal exhaust point and increase their possibility of leakage.
- 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.
- When disposing of batteries, follow the manufacturer's instructions and all feder-
al, state, and local regulations. PCS suggests customers take advantage of any community battery-recycling programs that may exist in your area. Contact your local waste remover or recycler for details.
Maintenance
- To keep from damaging your transmitter, avoid exposing it to moisture, extreme
temperatures, direct sunlight, vibration and dust.
- Clean the outside of the transmitter by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Never use
harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the transmitter.
- Do not expose plastic parts to fuel, motor spray, waste oil or exhaust. These will
penetrate and damage the plastic.
- Never disassemble or touch the inside of the transmitter. This could result in
electrical shock.
- If you notice smoke or a burning smell coming from the transmitter, immediately
turn off the transmitter, wait a few minutes until the transmitter cools, and then remove the batteries.

Digital Trim
The digital trim button is located on the left side of the control panel. Steering and Throttle trim adjustments can be made by pressing the trim button in one of the 4 available directions. Up and down are for Throttle trim and right and left are for Steering trim. You will hear a beep with each increment of trim adjustment. Digital trim position is displayed both numerically and graphically on the LCD.
NOTE Throttle trim changes only the center (neutral) point and not the end points. This is done to maintain your maximum speed and braking points.
Dual Rate
Dual rate affects the total steering servo throw (both sides, right and left) simultane­ously, so reducing the dual rate value makes the steering less sensitive and also re­duces the maximum amount of steering available. Dual rate values are adjusted and displayed on the LCD by pressing the or buttons on the control panel. Pressing dual rate buttons on the control panel, "D/R" will appear on the lower side of the Normal LCD display.
Stopwatch
Pressing the start button " " on the control panel can activate the stopwatch and display timer on the LCD. The timer can be started when the throttle is triggered and the stop is avail­able by pressing the start lever behind the steering wheel. Pressing the start button again resets the stopwatch.

Start
This feature allows for smooth and even acceleration under adverse conditions, such as a wet circuit. When the start function is activated, merely operating the throttle trigger slowly causes the throttle servo to automatically switch from the set trigger position to a preset point so that the tires do no loose their grip and the car accelerates smoothly. By pressing the start button " " on control panel, "STA" will appear on the lower side of the Normal LCD display. The Start function is only available at the first triggering. For activating again, press the start button on the control panel.

Anti-lock Breaking System (A.B.S)
Your Husky features an advanced anti-lock breaking system! A.B.S works as a pulse brake, allowing greater stability and control during hard braking. The pulse width ("on" time versus "off" time) is called duty, the pulse height (how hard the brakes pulse) is called width, and the braking point where ABS actually begins is called position. A delay can be programmed so that regular braking occurs first, then at a pre-set delay ABS braking begins.

Auto Steering Control
This function allows two steering servo speeds, automatically adjusted at high- and low-speed range of throttle. When it is activated, "ASC" appears on the lower side of the Normal LCD display. If you want sensitive steering at corners and less sensitive steering on the straight­away, reduce the auto steering speed value at high-speed range and increase the value at low-speed range. The reverse is also available.
NOTE 2-Step steering speed is deactivated on Auto steering control.

Punch
The Punch throttle feature is used to reduce or eliminate the dead throttle area that exists from neutral to the starting point of throttle and from neutral to the starting point of braking. This area is sometimes known as dead band. As more throttle trim (also known as static brake) is applied, more of the dead trigger area right off neutral exists. Adjust a forward value such that your vehicle's wheels just start to turn when the trigger is slightly squeezed. This gives the most accurate feel and eliminates this dead area. This feature is also available for steering. Steering Punch can eliminate dead band around neutral.

2. Press button to display the Punch screen.
3. Press / button until the desired value appears on steering position.
4. Press and / button until the desired value appears on throttle forward position.

Idle Up
The Idle up function is normally used to advance the throttle position slightly, making it easier to start gas cars. Pressing the Idle up button " " on the control panel can activate this function, the throttle servo will offset to the pre-program­med position, and "IDL" will appear on the lower side of the Normal LCD display.
NOTE Idle up is available only at first triggering. For activating, press Idle up button on the control panel again.

5. Approval
CE The R&TTE (Radio Equipment & Telecommunications Terminal Equipment) direc­tive is the new European directive relating to radio equipment and telecommunica­tions transmission equipment. It also covers the collective recognition of the con­formity of such equipment. One part of the R&TTE directive regulates the introduction and operation of radio systems in the European Community. An important change is the abolition of approval. The manufacturer or importer must subject radio equipment to a conformity appraisal process before that equip­ment is introduced. The CE symbol is attached to the device to indicate that it conforms with the valid European norms.
An exclamation mark is also to be attached to radio transmitting equipment, to in­dicate that the permissible frequencies are not yet uniform throughout Europe. This requirement applies to all the countries included in the list attached. It is essential to note that these radio control systems may only be operated on the approved frequencies, as listed in the table.
Please note that the user bears the responsibility for compliance with this require­ment, and for ensureing that the radio system complies with the directives. In Germany the requirement to purchase a licence for the operation of 35 MHz sys­tems remains in effect; please refer to the operating instructions, or the separate sheet included with them.
