10X MANUAL Heli
Travel Adjust/ATV/End Point Adjust
The purpose of Travel Adjust, also known as adjustable travel
volume (ATV) or end point adjust, is to allow you to adjust the
total travel of a servo in both directions. The 10X offers travel
adjust for all ten (10) channels. The travel adjustment range is
from 0% to 150% and can be adjusted for each direction individ-
ually. Use this function to set the maximum control throws that
you’ll use to fly the helicopter. However, make sure that servo
travel is not so great that it causes binding by trying to move the
surface past its physical limitations. A servo that is stalled causes
high current drain and can cause radio drop outs, a condition
where receiver voltage drops below its operational minimum,
causing intermittent loss of control. A strong servo may also
damage control surfaces and linkages if it travels too far.
Accessing and Utilizing the Travel Adjust/ATV
Feature
To access the Travel Adjust feature, enter Code 12 in the code
number access selection or use the direct mode method.
The screen will appear as follows:
The 10X has a new feature that makes setting up travel adjust
both quicker and easier. The 10X allows the option of both travel
adjustment directions (up/down, right/left) to be adjusted either
simultaneously or independently. From the factory default set-
tings, the 10X is set to simultaneously adjust both directions
indicated by the shaded area. An S appears in the shaded box at
the top of the screen (see above screen). This is helpful in adjust-
ing the overall rough travel values of the servos. To independent-
ly fine tune travel adjustment in each direction, press the S but-
ton at the top of the screen. The shaded area now only covers one
of the values and only that value will be adjusted.
Note: In this mode the shaded box follows the directional
movement of the control. It is this value you will be adjusting.
Press the + key to increase the amount of servo travel and the
- key to shorten the amount of servo throw. If you want to reset
the travel throw to the factory default, 100%, you can either press
the + and - keys simultaneously or press the CL key.
After adjusting the travel volume for all ten (10) channels, press
the ENTER key to exit this function and memorize these values.
Note: Any time you exit the Travel Adjust screen, the Travel
Adjust function will revert back to the simultaneous adjustment
mode.
