CAUTION
Be sure to connect and disconnect the GYA553 and T32MZ connection cable with
the power off.
SETTING
Home screen
On the home screen, basic information such as gyro operation mode, sensitivity, battery voltage are displayed.
Basic menu
Config
Config 1/7 Gyro set mounting direction
Config 1/7 WING/TAIL
Set with the wing type/tail type of GYA553. The wing type/tail type of the transmitter is not used and is normal.
- Turn off the elevon/V-tail mixing on the transmitter side.
- Do not use transmitter sub-trim. Adjust using the gyro neutral offset.
- When using the S.BUS servo, you can also use the neutral offset function of the S.BUS servo setting parameters.
Config 1/7 Servo type
Select the servo type according to the servo to be used.
- Digital servo → DG : 285 Hz
- Analog servo → AN : 70 Hz
The stability of the digital-servo mode of a flight increases in order to perform a high-speed control action.
Config 1/7 SB/R2 OUT
Config 2/7 Gyro direction
It is the direction settting of the gyro. Be careful as it will crash if the direction is reversed. For dual aileron, dual elevator, and dual rudder aircraft, check the operating direction of each second aileron/elevator/rudder.
Config 3/7 Neutral offset
Config 4/7 5/7 Servo limit
This is the limit setting for each servo. The position of the maximum operation is read into the gyro in the first setting.
If the SB/R2 port output is set to “S.BUS(HS)” or “S.BUS(STD)”, the setting
menu will display AIL3 and AIL4 setting items.
AIL3 and AIL4 settings cannot be set with the button settings on the GYA553
main unit.
Aileron example
Config 6/7 Holding Power
It is a function to adjust the posture holding force of the aircraft in AVCS
mode. Decreasing the value weakens the holding power and makes the operation
feeling closer to the normal mode.
The current rate numbers Cl to C5 are displayed by operating the channel of
the transmitter. Like the flight condition function of the transmitter, you
can set up to 5 different data for the attitude holding force rate of the
aircraft in AVCS mode by operating the switch from the transmitter, and switch
between them. You can set the holding power rate selector switch to the
channel with the AFR function ofthe transmitter, and set the point for each
rate on the AFR point curve to switch. It is also possible to use the flight
condition function to work with the flight condition switch.
Config 7/7 Reset
Reset each Config item. It returns to the initial value.
SBUS Basic menu
Set the CH for each function according to the transmitter to be used. Any unused functions should be set to INH (Inhibited).
WARNING
Always verify that the S.BUS function assignments match your transmitter’ s
function (in the FUNCTION menu) assignments. If any changes are made within
the transmitter function assignments, then it will also be necessary to make
the changes within the S.BUS function assignments. To change the channel,
GYA553 and T32MZ must be connected
