the centre (neutral position).
If you are using a helicopter transmitter, switch off all
throttle/tail mixing systems and gyro control systems.
Switching on
Thoroughly read and understand these instructions before
switching on. Charge all (chargeable) battery packs.
Plug the crystals into receiver and transmitter. Before
operating your Piccoboard for the first time disconnect the
motor from the main gear by opening the screws and sliding
the motor backwards. Make sure that your helicopter is firmly
secured before checking control operation for the first time.
Ensure that no loose objects or clothing are near the motors.
Always switch on your transmitter first, then plug the flight
battery into the Piccoboard. If the servos start jittering without
control, then there is a problem with your r/c-system;
probably the crystals are missing or wrong.
Then immediately remove the flight battery and check the
installation.
Finally, after you switch on and the servos are controlable;
you must wait for around 5-7 seconds while the micro-
processors calibrate the control settings.
DO NOT MOVE THE HELICOPTER OR OPERATE
THE TRANSMITTER STICKS DURING THIS
CALIBRATION PERIOD.
When calibration is complete; a red LED lights on the
Piccoboard. Your system is now ready to operate.
When stopping operation, unplug the flight battery first, then
switch off the transmitter.
Installation
Before touching the plug-in module, it is essential to
discharge any static electricity
Warranty:
This quality product has been thoroughly checked before delivery.
Nevertheless, in case of complaints your warranty claims will be
handled in accordance with our current General Sales Conditions. If
equipment returned for warranty repair shows full functionality during
the entry inspection, handling charge will be €21,-. According to our
experience the product works well with all current R/C systems. On the
other hand we cannot grant functionality with a specific R/C system due
to the fact that control pulse conditions of receivers are not liable to
standardization. We must as well reject any responsibility for
consequential damage arisen from the use of our products since we
are not able to supervise their appropriate application.
Safety directions:
The CE-label is no allowance for negligent handling of the equipment.
Avoid dangerous areas of motors, propellers, gears and rotor blades.
Always consider electric systems as potentially dangerous. Always
remove the battery if you intend to work on the system. Avoid direct and
condensed humidity. The product is not protected against reversal of
polarity. Reversing polarity or cables can entail irreparable damages.
Plugs and sockets must always fit perfectly. Improvisations can give
rise to damages. Care about the power consumption of the power
supply, especially with regard to the gyro. A higher power consumption
than assigned for can damage the power supply and other equipment
connected to it. Never disconnect an electrical appliance from the
battery as long as it is operating.
Operating directions:
The transmitter must always be switched on first and subsequently the
receiver. Make sre that the throttle stick is in the low throttle position. In
any case verify that you are exclusive user of the selected frequency
and nobody else is using it. Pay attention to the CE-labels of other
components. Provide motors with at least 2 noise suppressing ceramic
capacitors 10 - 100 nF/63 - 100 V and optional with further noise
suppressing means (filters, chokes). Route the antenna at least 1"
away of motor, battery, speed controller and their cables. Install the
receiver as far away as possible of motor, battery and speed controller.
Keep cables as short as possible. Motor and battery cables should be
twisted. For the purpose of storing your model remove the batteries
and store it at a dry place with normal air humidity. Should the system
act erratically, disconnect the flight battery from the system and
reconnect it again after a waiting period of 5 - 10 s.
Piccoboard
Le Piccoboard s'adapte tout particulièrement à l'ECO
Piccolo et à ses divers composants. Coté réception, il con-
tient toute l'électronique nécessaire au vol. Le Board est
équipé de 3 microprocesseurs. La Software programmée
est la garantie d'un comportement fiable en vol et d'un plaisir
de vol ininterrompu. Le Piccoboard est équipé d'un récep-
teur de haute qualité et d'un gyroscope électronique sans
pièces mécaniques souvent causes de perturbations. Il con-
·
tient en plus deux variateurs digitaux à haut rendement, un
·
mixage électronique et une alimentation BEC (Battery
Eliminating Circuit) pour le récepteur et les micro servos. Le
mixage intégré permet le pilotage avec une simple radio-
commande 4 voies. Le gyroscope intégré facilite nettement
le pilotage de l'appareil.
