INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Futaba®
PCM1024Z Radio System. The design of
this system has absolutely no compromises.
You now possess a system that will allow
you to fly your model — airplane, helicop-
ter, or sailplane — with the highest per-
formance possible. With a / / the power in
this system, setting up and adjusting is very
simple. We recommend that you read the
manual carefully to learn about the pro-
gramming features, but if you are in a hur-
ry, follow the example set-up instructions
in the beginning of the model setup proce-
dures sections. We have provided detailed
examples for power aircraft, helicopters,
and sailplanes (with two, four, and five
wing servos).
The transmitter can be used with any
model type by using the desired special
mixing menus for the model you are inter-
ested in — a / / menus are contained in both
types of transmitters. The transmitters for
airplanes and sailplanes (PCM 1024ZA)
contain
snap
roll
direction
switches
and
a
different throttle stick feel than the heli-
copter system (PCM 1024ZH).
The PCM 1024ZA System Transmitter
uses a unique menu system, which allows
the utmost in versatility. In stead of a single,
complicated loop that forces the user to
"step through" each menu on the way to
the desired setting, the PCM 1024ZA allows
you to proceed directly to the menu that
you need, bypassing those that do not need
any inputs. This system makes setting up
models both rapid and simple.
You may define different groups of set-
tings that may be called up by the setting
of a single FLIGHT CONDITION switch.
You may program up to eight different
flight conditions for each model in the
main memory area.
The exclusive optional synthesized trans-
mitter module and receiver allow you to
choose any frequency available without
switching crystals or modules, or changing
receivers. Electronically-activated trims are
memorized for each model in memory, and
can't be accidentally moved while the
transmitter is off. The optional CAMPac
Memory Module can store additional model
setups and easily transfer them to other
PCM1024Z transmitters.
All in all, the Futaba PCM1024Z is the
most advanced radio control system in the
world — we know that you enjoy using it
for pleasurable flying!
Manual Introductory Section, Page 3
Manual Introductory Section
SYSTEM USAGE
The PCM 1024Z system that you have just
purchased has been designed to be the most versa-
tile
radio
system
possible.
Because
of this,
a
few
words about the layout of the radio are called for.
You are already aware that the PCM 1024Z trans-
mitter has numerous model memories, but it is
important to understand that each model memory
may
have
several
flight
condition
setups
that
may
be switched during flight! This means that you
may really call up different trim settings, mixing,
and control feel as you fly the model. For exam-
ple, an aircraft could have different takeoff and
acrobatic settings; a helicopter could have different
settings for hovering, aerobatics, and autorotation;
a sailplane might be set up with independent set-
tings for launching, thermal I ing, speed, and landing.
Switching between these different settings is
as
easy as flipping a switch.
To accommodate this power, the PCM 1024Z
system has four levels of operation: the Home
Menu, the System Menu, the Model Menu, and the
Condition Menu. The Home Menu appears when
the system is first turned on, and displays such
items as battery voltage, trim positions, one or
more timers, and other functions. The top level
display is what is normally displayed during opera-
tion.
The next level down is the System Menu. The
System Menu is used to choose and call up the
items that apply to all model setups stored within
the PCM 1024Z transmitter. This menu includes
such items as Model Select (which chooses which
model setup to use), Copy Model and Copy Condi-
tion,
User
Name
inputting.
Switch
Setting,
and
other items.
Next comes the Model Menu, which contains
unique information about each model stored with-
in the PCM 1024Z's memory. Within this menu are
settings that pertain to a particular model. Of
course, these settings can vary for each different
model. As an example, the Model Menu contains
the Servo Reversing function, which may be dif-
ferent for each model stored.
Finally, you will find the Condition Menus.
These menus are customized to the different types
of models the PCM 1024Z system will accommo-
date: Airplane, Helicopter, and Sailplane (the
three sailplane menus are further broken into the
categories of 5 wing servos, 4 wing servos, and 2
wing servos). In the Condition Menus, you may set
up throws, mixing functions, and other items that
vary with flight conditions but are associated with
one model setup.
As mentioned earlier, the PCM 1024ZA System
Transmitter uses a unique menu system, which
allows the utmost in versatility. The PCM 1024ZA
allows you to proceed directly to the menu that
you need, bypassing those that do not need any
inputs, instead of forcing the owner to proceed
through a single, complicated loop one menu at a
time on the way to the desired setting. This system
makes setting up models both rapid and simple.
This menu configuration is illustrated below.

MANUAL LAYOUT
The instructions contained in this book are
written
in
great
detail
so
that
you may
easily
understand the capabilities of your PCM 1024Z
system. We recommend that you spend some time
reading these instructions so that you can have a
good feel of what the system can do.
After this introduction are some words about
safety and proper operation of your Futaba
system. Next is a section on general operational
principles, including adjustments that you can
make on the transmitter to make it 'fit'your flying
style.
Next are instructions for system-level program-
ming. This system-level programming is important
because it is used with all three types of models
that the PCM 1024Z system can be set up for. This
includes model menu selection, system voltmeter
operation, tachometer usage, servo bar graph dis-
play, trainer setup, and model data transmission
and copying.
A section on general model settings follows.
This section covers the topics of model setup that
are common to all model types, such as setting
throws, servo reversing, type selection, model nam-
ing, and others. The remainder of the menus are
specific to the particular type of model.
After the general section is a list of the common
condition menus that apply to all three types of
aircraft that the 1024A system can accommodate.
This is followed by three sections which describe
the setup procedures for aircraft, helicopters, and
sailplanes. At the beginning of each model setup
section is an example setup procedure that de-
scribes all the steps needed to set up all the desired
flight conditions for a model. Each of these sec-
tions assume that you are familiar with the general
system-level operations sections.
The rear of the manual contains blank data
tables that may be used to record the data that
you have programmed into your system, and con-
tains technical details of this system. Be sure to
make a photocopy of the blank data tables before
you write in them.
We hope that you find the PCM 1024Z System
Manual very hopeful. Please feel free to write to
Futaba if you feel that any corrections or clarifica-
tions should be made.

FLYING SAFETY
Safety is very important when you are flying
radio-controlled models. If you fail to follow the
installation, setup, and operation instructions in
this manual, or if you ignore warnings or rules set
by others, you may cause the partial or total de-
struction of your radio control system, aircraft,
and endanger yourself or other persons or proper-
ty.
You
are
responsible
for
safe
operation of
your
model, and may be held liable for any damages
your activities cause.
Please maintain your system properly. Install it
in your aircraft using the proper procedures,
inspect the model frequently for correct operation
and structural and control authority, and be cer-
tain that you are capable of handling the model in
unusual situations. Do not fly over or near specta-
tors or where your model could injure any person
or property. Do not fly unless you are sure of your
flying skills, radio installation, and model integrity.
Please
ask
for
assistance
from
an
experienced
pilot
if you are not sure about your qualifications.
Before flying, carry out a range check on the ground with the
transmitter antenna extended only one step. Note the distance you
can achieve without loss of control it should be at least 30 paces.
We recommend a range check before each flying session to verify
that your system is working properly.
When flying, be sure the antenna is fully extended. If the antenna
is not fully extended, your model's effective range is reduced, and
interference can cause difficulties even at short range.
Be sure that you do not shorten the receiver antenna, either by
cutting
some
off,
or by coiling the
excess
up.
Instead,
let the
excess
length trail behind or below the aircraft. Cutting the antenna will
reduce the effective range of the system and increase the chance of
interference.
When turning on your radio system, first turn on the transmitter,
then turn on the receiver. When turning off the power, turn off the
receiver first, then the transmitter. If these turn-on sequences are per-
formed in reverse order, the receiver may pick up spurious signals and
cause the servos to drive hard over, causing possible damage to the
radio system and the control linkages.
Manual Introductory Section, Page 7
Manual Introductory Section
If you are using the Synthesized transmitter module FP-TK-FSS,
be sure that you know the transmitting frequency before switching
on. If you don't know the frequency, hold the [A] or [R] key down
as you switch on power. The transmitting frequency will be displayed
but radio transmission is deactivated. Once you have determined the
frequency,
secure
the appropriate frequency
control
device
and
turn
on power to operate normally.
Be sure to charge the transmitter and receiver batteries fully. If the
system has not been used for a long time, be sure to charge at least
24 hours before using the system, and check both batteries with the
system voltmeter at high load (500 mA). The transmitter battery
should remain above 9.4 volts, and the receiver should be above 4.7
volts. IF EITHER BATTERY INDICATES LOWER THAN THIS, DO
NOT FLY. Recharge the batteries first.
Do not quick charge the battery. Overcharging the battery will
cause the battery to overheat and creates a very dangerous situation.
Recharge
Do not expose your system to rain or allow water to get inside the
case. If water does penetrate the case, control of the model could be
lost, resulting in a crash and danger to others. Use a waterproof cover
or wait until the conditions are dry before attempting to fly.

PCM 1024Z
NOTABLE SYSTEM FEATURES
• The optional CAMPac memory module stores up
to 10 model setups, and may be exchanged be-
tween different PCM 1024Z transmitters so that
model data may be rapidly transferred, or
backed up.
• The telescoping antenna is stored within the
transmitter, but when it is extended, it may be
easily rotated in any direction using the spherical
joint
on the
top
of
the
transmitter
case.
• Flight
Condition Switching
allows preset mixing,
trims, and other data to be matched to existing
flight conditions immediately upon movement
of a user-defined switch. A programmable Delay
circuit
makes
smooth
transitions
between
flight
conditions. Each flight condition may have in-
dependent values for trims, mixing authorities,
and presets.
• Switch Function Position Modification function
allows the owner to set the position and function
of all sticks, knobs, sliders, and switches as he
desires.
• The Type Selection Function allows any PCM
1024Z transmitter to be used for airplanes, heli-
copters, or sailplanes. The model type may be
selected from a menu screen.
Exclusive
Digital
Trim
function
makes
trim
changes
easy
to
do,
remembers the
trim
status
for each model in memory, and prevents unin-
tentional trim changes. Trim functions may be
assigned to any stick or control.
• Large Liquid Crystal Display and Soft Keys
make model programming and data input easy.
Inputs change memory instantly, so immediate
verification of inputs is possible.
• The optional Frequency Synthesized Receiver
(R309DPS) allows rapid frequency changes to
eliminate frequency conflicts on crowded flying
fields.
• Programmable Trainer Function allows the
instructor to choose which functions are used
for training, and a special feature allows simple
correction by the instructor without disconnect-
ing the student.
Detachable Transmitter Battery Pack may be
easily removed from the transmitter and charged
separately, or used as an independent spare.
These are fust a few of the outstanding PCM
1024Z features. You can read about many more of
the features
in
the manual.
Please
do
so
or
you'll
never know what you've missed !

WORKING WITH THE CAMPAC MEMORY MODULE
The optional CAMPac Memory Module can be
used to store model setup data separately from the
transmitter. Its advanced electronic design needs
no battery back-up power, so the CAMPac may be
used to transfer data directly into another PCM
1024Z system.
When the transmitter power switch is turned on
for the first time after the set is purchased, or
when the power switch is turned on after the
memory module has been changed, the "INI-
TIALIZE EXT MEM?" message will appear at the
center of the screen. Press the YES key to ini-
tialize the memory module so it is ready to store
data.
The CAMPac can store and memorize as many
as 16 sets of model data, depending on the number
of flight conditions. When used in conjunction
with the transmitter's 10-model memory, as many
as 26 different model setups may be permanently
stored. The table below gives the numbers of
model data that the CAMPac can store, which
depends on the number of flight conditions. When
power is turned on, it may take some time to copy
complicated model and flight condition data into
the transmitter's memory. This normally takes just
two or three seconds.

Moving the CAMPac from one PCM 1024Z
transmitter to another is one way of transferring
model setups from the first to the second. Another
way may be used with transmitters that do not
have the CAMPac installed. This method requires
an optional data transfer cord.

This display blinks and sounds when the synthesized
frequency module is removed during operation.
Be sure to turn off power before installing the module.
Do not remove or insert the module with power on.
(D BACK-UP BATTERY FAILURE - DO NOT FLY
This warning is displayed when the data stored has been
lost for some reason. A beep will sound simultaneously.
When the power switch is turned on again, the error dis-
play goes off and the data returns to the factory default
state. The lithium data backup battery needs to be re-
placed, or there is a fault in the system. Return the
system to the Futaba service center for assistance. The
life of the lithium battery varies, but is usually at least
five years.
2 CURRENT MODEL IS*** ##.NAME ***
This display shows the model number and model name
currently stored in the active area of the transmitter. It
will disappear a few seconds after the system is turned on.
DATA PAC IS MISSING - LOADED MODEL1
This message is displayed whenever the transmitter is
turned on with the memory module removed and the
active model data was stored on the module. Without the
desired model data, the system loads the Model 1 data
instead.
3 CAUTION: NON-DEFAULT COND IS ACTIVE
This warning message is displayed, and a beep sounds,
whenever the transmitter is turned on with a flight con-
dition switch activated. This display and alarm will turn
off as soon as the flight condition switch is turned off.
4 CAUTION: SPECIAL MIX FNCT IS ACTIVE
This message and alarm are activated when the transmitter
is turned on with a mixing switch activated. The alarm
monitor above the power switch also blinks. All of these
will stop as soon as the mix switch is changed to its OFF
position.
CAUTION: ENGINE CUT FNCT IS ACTIVE
If the power is turned on with the engine cut switch on,
this message is displayed and a beep sounds. When the
engine cut switch is turned off, the display and alarm
stop.

RADIO INSTALLATION
Please observe the following precautions during
the installation of the radio into your model and
subsequent flying activities:
Servo Installation
Mount each servo snugly to a sturdy plywood
servo tray or use the provided mounting trays. Use
the supplied rubber grommets on the mounting
ears, and tighten the screws to hold things snugly
but try not to crush the grommets completely.
If you squeeze them too much, their vibration
dampening characteristics will be reduced.
Receiver connections
Connect the receiver, servos, switch, battery,
and gyro (if used) in accordance with the model
setup directions given in the appropriate model
sections. For aircraft, see page 80. For helicopters,
refer to page 104. For sailplanes and electrics, use
page 130.
Receiver Installation
Wrap the receiver in cushioning foam rubber,
and place it in a sealed plastic bag to prevent it
from fuel leaks or inadvertent water landings. Use
rubber bands wrapped around the receiver to
provide strain relief for the antenna, switch, and
servo wiring. Secure with foam pieces on all sides.
Run the antenna down the inside of the fuse-
lage, or secure it to the top of the vertical fin
with
a
small
rubber
band.
Do
not
shorten
excess
antenna wire, or tie it into a bundle. Reduced
range could result. If you experience problems
with an internal antenna, try routing it differently,
or move it outside of the model fuselage.
Switch Harness Installation
When you install the switch harness, be sure
that the rectangular hole is slightly longer than the
full switch stroke, so that it moves smoothly from
On to Off and vice versa. Try to install the switch
on the opposite side from the engine exhaust, and
away
from
dust
or
dirt.
System and Servo Operation Check
Turn on the transmitter power first, then the
receiver power. Be sure that the transmitter anten-
na
is
fully
extended.
All
servos
will
travel
to
their
neutral positions. Operate the transmitter sticks,
knobs, and levers individually and be sure that the
appropriate servo follows the control movement.
If a servo does not move as it should, first check to
see that it is plugged into the correct receiver out-
put. If it is not, move it to the correct output. If it
is in the correct location, verify that you have
activated the appropriate mixing functions.
Now, connect each servo with its pushrod.
Again move each transmitter control in succession,
verifying that control movement is the proper
direction. If a servo does not move in the proper
direction, use the reversing function [REV] in the
Model menu.
Servo Throw Adjustment
Operate each
control
over
its
full
travel,
and
check
that
the
servos
don't
bind
and
that
there
are
no loose connections. If the servo does bind, the
current drain will be very high, and your battery
will
not
last
for
much
time.
This
exposes
a
risk
of
crashing due to a low receiver battery.
Make sure that the servo can move its entire
throw amounts (including trim) without binding
anywhere. If necessary, use the Adjustable Throw
Volume [ATV] menu to reduce servo travel so it
does not bind.
Range Check
After installation is complete, perform a ground
range check by extending the transmitter antenna only
one step. With the receiver antenna full length, step
25-50 paces from the model. The servos should
operate normally at this distance. Continue walking
away until control is lost, and note the approximate
distance. This is your ground range, and should be
repeated before each flying session.
Electrical Noise
Electrical noise is created by the touching of
two
metal parts, and
creates
"static"
similar
to
that heard on an AM radio during a thunderstorm.
Your Futaba radio set is resistant to electrical
noise, but no set may be made completely im-
mune. For best flying range, avoid metal-to-metal
contact wherever possible.

CHARGING & DIRECT SERVO CONNECT OPERATION
Battery Charging
Your Futaba FP-9ZAP and -9ZAH system is
equipped with rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium bat-
teries. The figure shows the necessary connections
for charging the transmitter and receiver battery
packs. Both packs may be charged at the same
time or they may be charged individually. The
charging connections bypass the power switches,
so the set will not operate even if switched on.
The minimum recommended charge time for a
spent battery is 15 hours, but it will not damage
the batteries to charge them longer. However, if
the battery has not been used for some time, it
may take several charge/discharge cycles before
the battery resumes its full-capacity flight dura-
tion.
When fully charged, the system will provide
approximately 60-80 minutes of flying time,
providing there is no stalling of the servos. Be sure
to check the state of the receiver battery frequent-
ly with the built-in voltmeter function [VLT] in
the System menu. If the receiver battery drops
below 4.4 volts under load, do not attempt to fly.
Direct Servo Connect (DSC) Cord Connection
Using the DSC system, you may directly con-
nect the transmitter
to
the
receiver
without
having
to transmit radio waves. This feature can be ex-
tremely useful for adjusting any settings on the
model
without
worrying

ance.
Additionally,
with

menu).
also be used for
charging). To operate,
plug the
DSC
cable into the receiver jack, then plug the
round DIN connector into the back of the trans-
mitter. Switch
on the receiver ONLY — not the

To
check the receiver battery voltage, switch
off the receiver and move to the VLT menu in the
System area. You may apply different current

tery. When you are through with DSC and/or
Receiver battery monitoring, remove the DIN
connector from the rear of the transmitter.
When you wish to use the DSC system, you will
need to install the accessory DSC/Charge Cord

TRANSMITTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Battery Cover
RUBBER PROTECTIVE PAD INSTALLATION
The transmitter battery is easily removed and
replaced, making it simple to have a spare battery
pack for extended flying duration.
Open the battery cover and remove the re-
chargeable battery pack by pulling outward on the
ribbon. Be careful not to damage the battery cover
or drop the battery pack.
We recommend that rubber protection pads be
installed in case the transmitter is ever rested on its
back.
Double-sided tape
Stick the double-sided
tape to the inside of the
protection pad
Repeat for other side.
Stick the protection pads to the
shaded area of the transmitter.
