10X MANUAL Heli
3
• Up to 5 available flight modes are selectable via a pro-
grammable switch location. Each flight mode allows the adjust-
ment and selection of nearly every parameter to alter the charac-
teristics of the helicopter for differing flight regimes (e.g., FAI
type aerobatics, 3D aerobatics, etc.). Code 17.
• Digital trims on aileron, elevator and rudder feature
adjustable trim rates, allowing the increments of each trim step to
be adjusted to the desired amount. When adjusting the digital
trims, a tone is emitted that signals each trim step. The pitch of
the tone changes based on trim position (left trim – high pitch,
right trim – low pitch ) so that the approximate trim position can
be audibly known without having to look at the transmitter.
• Digital trim positions are automatically displayed on the
Info screen. A bar graph or a digital value can be selected to dis-
play the trim position.
• Digital trim positions are automatically stored in memory
and recalled when switching from model to model.
• A mechanical trimmer is included on throttle, offering the
ease and convenience of a visual reference during engine startup.
The throttle trim rate is adjustable in Code 83.
• A DataSafe
TM
is included (complete systems only) that
allows the 10X to download model memory to any Windows
95
®
and later PC for infinite model storage and security. See the
enclosed Data-Safe manual for instructions.
• A removable 1100mAh Sanyo
®
battery pack gives nearly 5
hours of continuous use. A built-in charge receptacle allows the
battery to be charged separately or in the transmitter.
• Rudder-to-throttle mixing has separate adjustable values left
and right and can be activated in any or all flight modes.
• Aileron-to-throttle mixing has separate adjustable values
right and left and can be activated in any or all flight modes.
• Elevator-to-throttle mix has separate adjustable values up
and down and can be activated in any or all flight modes.
• Gyro gain function, Code 44, allows you to combine rudder
to Aux 3 mixes to Code 44 (gyro gain adjustment), allowing stick
priority gain control. Stick priority gain values are also displayed
on this screen.
• Five programmable tail rotor curves are available that allow
up to 7 points to be stored. The mix rate function allows the tail
curve to be expanded (1/1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/10) for a more accurate tail
adjustment.
• Swashplate mixing features independent aileron-to-elevator
and elevator-to-aileron mixing values and can be activated in any
or all fight modes. 120° and 140° 3 servo CCPM mixing is also
available.
• A servo monitor visually displays each of the ten servo
positions. This handy feature is especially useful during the setup
of mixes. CODE 75.
• The programming of the
PCM10X allows up to five flight
modes with independent throttle and pitch curves, tail rotor curve
mixing, and pre-programmed Aile/Elev/Rudd-Throttle mixing.
• An exponential function is available on the throttle and
pitch curves that automatically “smoothes out” the curve.
• When using the
PCM
10X in conjunction with a JR Piezo
Gyro, three gyro rates are available and can be selected in the six
types of flight modes (N, 1, 2, 3, 4, Hold).
• The micro computer system employs an extra large and
clearly visible
LCD touch display that makes the PCM10X the
fastest and easiest radio control transmitter system in the world
to program.
• Adjustable stick tension enables you to customize the feel
of the gimbals for more precise flying. Refer to Section 3.5 of
this manual for instructions on adjusting stick tension.
• The new central processing unit (
CPU) in the PCM10X
allows for compatibility never before available in any radio sys-
tem. This transmitter can broadcast in two types of
PCM— the
new S-series (1024)
PCM and the well-known Z-series (512) PCM
— as well as PPM. This enables you to use virtually all of your
current
FM JR receivers.
•The
PCM10X is capable of storing ten (10) models in its
memory. The ten (10) model memory allows you to completely
program ten models into the
PCM10X. Or, by using more than
one program for a single aircraft, you are able to have different
set-ups available.
•The
PCM10X is equipped with a five-year lithium battery
back-up to prevent memory loss if your transmitter battery pack
should discharge completely or if the transmitter battery pack
should inadvertently be removed from the transmitter.
• A fail-safe feature when modulating in the S-series
PCM
allows you to select hold or fail-safe preset positions for the first
eight channels individually.
• Direct Servo Control (
DSC) permits operation of all controls
and servos without generating a radio signal.
• The graphic multi-point pitch and throttle curve means you
can set the pitch for 7 selectable stick positions.
• The
PCM10X offers a choice of dual rate, exponential or vari-
able trace rate (
VTR) movement for the aileron, elevator and rud-
der channels.
•The
PCM10X has eight free programmable mixes, four of
which allow the programming of up to a seven point curve that
can be turned on/off in any flight mode.
