TRANSMITTER FP-T2NCS/T2NCR

• Nomenclature

• The name of each part of the transmitter is shown in the figure. Learn them before operating your set.
  When running the vehicle, extend the antenna fully.
  

• USING THE FREQUENCY FLAG
  

• LOADING THE PENLIGHT BATTERIES

• Remove the battery cover at the rear and insert eight penlight batteries in the correct polarity.
  

• Extend the antenna fully and set the power switch to ON.
  The level meter pointer should deflect to the silver zone. If the pointer does not move, or moves very little, check for poor battery contact, incorrect battery polarity, or faulty batteries.

• If the pointer of the level meter deflects to the red zone, the range of the radio waves will become short. When the pointer drops to the boundary between the silver and red zones, change the batteries.

• The trim levers are used to fine adjust the steering angle. They are used to adjust the neutral position and for correcting the running posture after the mechanism is mounted. After test running, make corrections with the rod adjuster, etc. and operate the set with the trim levers in the neutral position as much as possible.

• SERVO REVERSE SWITCHES (FP-2NCR)

• This switch makes servo rotation to another direction.

• After fixed servos onto your model, and found that rotation is wrong-way, switch to another direction.

• Servo reverse switches are located at bottom of Transmitter case like drawing below:
  

• STEERING TRIM LEVER ADJUSTMENT
  

*Adjust the trim lever so that the vehicle runs straight on a smooth road.
The throttle trim lever is used to fine adjust the speed controller stop position, etc.

• CHANGING THE THROTTLE STICK FROM A SELF-NEUTRAL SYSTEM TO A RATCHET SYSTEM

• When changing the throttle stick from a self-neutral system to a ratchet system, install the optional slider. Then, remove the spring and swing arm.
  

• CRYSTAL REPLACEMENT

• When changing the band, remove the crystal holder and change the crystal. (Except 72.75 MHz in USA)

• Futaba Digital Proportional Frequencies (FOR U.S.A.)

• The frequency of Futaba digital proportional sets can be changed within their own band. There are 4 different bands for you to choose from (27 MHz, 50—53 MHz, 72 MHz, and 75 MHz.) Please see chart listed below for specific frequency and its intended use. Please note there are specific frequencies allocated for aircraft only and surface only use.

• The frequency can be changed within the same BAND by using a precisely matched pair of Futaba crystals.
  However, Futaba recommends that you return your system to our factory service department for frequency changing, as turning may be necessary for proper operation.
  Changing frequency from one band to another is NOT possible.

• Always change frequency flag when frequency is changed. The frequency flag is to be attached to the top of antenna and the channel designation to the base. (See Drawing)

• It is illegal to change crystals of 72—75 MHz bands in the U.S.A.

The mark is displayed on the front of the receiver of BEC system sets with a receiver with shared power supply regulator.

RECEIVER FP-R102JE AND SERVO FP-S148

The Futaba BEC system can also use a common power supply with the conventional four penlight batteries system (separate power supply).

• A common power supply regulator and diode may also be supplied with the speed controller, depending on the vehicle kit. Since they cause a voltage drop, always remove them.

• Set the transmitter power switch to ON, then set the receiver power switch to ON. The servos stop near the neutral position. Operate the transmitter sticks and check if each servo faithfully follows operation of the sticks.
  

• Connect the pushrod to each servo horn, then check if the direction of travel of each servo matches the transmitter Operation.
  

• Operate each servo over its full travel and check if the pushrod binds or is too loose. Applying unreasonable force to the servo horn will adversely affect the servo and quickly drain the battery. Be especially careful when using 8.4V.

• Always make the full stroke (including trim) of the servo horns somewhat larger than the full travel. Adjust the servo horns so that they move smoothly even when the trim lever and stick are operated simultaneously in the same direction.

• Be alert for noise.
  Always solder a noise killing capacitor to the running motor. If metal parts touch each other due to vibration, noise will be generated and cause the receiver servos to operate erroneously. We recommend the use of noiseless parts.

• Even though the receiver antenna wire is long, do not cut or bundle it. The range of the radio waves will be shortened.
  

• Install the servos firmly. Install the servo to the servo tray as shown in the figure. In other cases, install the servo as described in the model manufacturer’s manual.

• A spare horn is provided. Use it as required.

• Wrap the receiver in sponge rubber and wrap rubber bands around the sponge rubber. Mount the receiver so it is not exposed to vibration, does not touch the frame, and does not move.

• When the receiver is installed on a board or used where it may be splashed with mud and water, place it in a plastic bag, etc. and wrap a rubber band around the open end of the  bag to waterproof and dustproof the receiver. After use, remove the receiver from the bag to prevent condensation.

• Use the rubber bands wrapped around the receiver to hold the servo and switch leads.

• After mounting is complete, recheck each part, then check the transmitting range by making the transmitter antenna as short as possible and extending the receiver antenna fully and operating the set from a distance of 20m to 30m. The movement of each servo should follow the movement of the transmitter sticks.

• The crystal can be changed from the outside of the receiver case. (Except 72/75MHz in U.S.A) Always use a Futaba transmitter and receiver crystal pair as the replacement crystals.

GUARANTEE
Your NEW FUTABA Digital Proportional R/C Systern is guaranteed against defects in workmanship and material for 180 days from the date of purchase when the attached registration card is returned to us within ten days of purchase.
This Guarantee is null and void if the R/C system has been improperly handled, damaged in a crash, or tampered with and does not cover the replacement of plastic housings or electronic components damaged due to the use of improper voltages. When service is required, please take your equipment to your local authorized service station or ship it directly to us. All postage, shipping, and insurance charges must be paid by the user.

• WHEN VEHICLE WILL NOT BE USED
  Be sure and release the connector of running Nicd battery except when you are on the way to the starting line.
  When not using the connector, set the switch to OFF.

To obtain the best possible range (car to transmitter distance) and reduce the possibility of interference, please observe these antenna routing instructions.
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in loss of control or limited range

1. NEVER cut your receiver’s antenna wire.
   Your system has been precisely tuned to the full length of the stock antenna.

2. Excess antenna wire should NOT be tightly coiled. To safely store the excess wire make an antenna shortener from a small piece of stiff cardboard. This will provide maximum  reception and prevent tangling and breakage of the wire.

3. When routing the antenna wire to the antenna tube keep the wire away from battery and speed control wiring. The high power of the NiCd battery creates electrical “noise” which can cause interference.

SNOW IS WATER
Remember that operating your FX10 on snow or in wet areas is not recommended. Melted snow becomes water which will damage or short out your system’s electronics.

• SPLINED HORNS
  This horn permits shifting of the servo neutral position at the servo horn. Setting and shifting the neutral position

1. The splined horn has 25 segments. The amount of change per segment is; 360-25 !e 14.4°
2. The minimum adjustable angle is determined by the number of arms or number of the holes. For four arms, the minimum adjustable angle is:
   b) Effect
   To shift the holes center line to the right (clockwise) relative to baseline A, shift arm 2 to the position of arm 1 and set it to the position closet to baseline A. angular shift per  segment is 14.4°. The shift to the right is 90° – (14.4 x 6) = 3.6°
   To shift by the same angle in the opposite direction, use the opposite arm number.
   For a six arm horn, turn the arm counterclockwise and set arm 2 to the position of arm 1. The adjustable angle is 60° – (14.4 x 4) =2.4°.
   Arm 3 shift 4.8° to the right, arm 6 shifts 2.4° to the left, and aim 4 shifts 7.2° to the right and left
