Trainer system set up and use.
T32MZ-WC trainer system makes it possible for the instructor to chose which
channels and operation modes that can be used in the student’s transmitter.
The function and rate of each channel can be set, the training method can also
be matched to the student’s skill level. Two transmitters must be connected by
an optional Trainer Cord, and the Instructors’ transmitter should be
programmed for trainer operation, as described below.
When the Instructor activates the trainer switch, the student has control of
the aircraft (if MIX/FUNC/NORM mode is turned on, the Instructor can make
corrections while the student has control). When the switch is released the
Instructor regains control. This is very useful if the student gets the
aircraft into an undesirable situation.
Setting data are stored to model data.
Student rate can be adjusted at MIX/FUNC/NORM mode.
Activated student channels can be selected by switches.
Even in FASSTest26CH mode, channels 1 to 16 can be used for the trainer
function.
Notes: This trainer system can be used in the following manner;
1. In the T32MZ-WC transmitter and the other transmitter, if the channel
order is different. It is necessary to match the channel order in the Linkage
Menu when connecting it with other than a T32MZ-WC. Or use “Trainer student
channel setting function”
2. Be sure that all channels work correctly in both

S.BUS Servo Description of function of each parameter
*There are functions which can be used according to the kind of servo, and an impossible function.
· ID
Displays the ID of the servo whose parameters are to be read. It cannot be
changed.
· Channel
Channel of the S.BUS system assigned to the servo. Always assign a channel
before use.
· Reverse
The direction in which the servo rotates can be changed.
· Servo type
Normal: Normal operation mode
Retract: Landing gear retract mode. When a load is applied to the servo for 30
seconds without any channel operation performed from the transmitter, the
current consumption is suppressed by widening the dead band to 40° . When
channel operation is performed from the transmitter, or the servo is moved
outside the expanded dead band by an outside force, dead band expansion is
reset and returns to the original operation.
O.L.P. : This is the Over Load Protection mode. When a servo horn has been
locked for more than 5 seconds by a load, the servo output turns off to
protect the servo.
- The normal mode and retract mode are applicable only to the S3171SB, S9071SB, S9072SB, S9074SB, and S9075SB
· Soft Start
Restricts operation in the specified direction the instant the power is turned on. By using this setting, the first initial movement when the power is turned on slowly moves the servo to the specified position. · Stop Mode
The state of the servo when the servo input signal is lost can be specified. The “Hold” mode setting holds the servo in its last commanded position even if using AM or FM system. · Smoother
This function changes smoothness of the servo operation relative to stick movement changes. Smooth setting is used for normal flight. Select the “OFF” mode when quick operation is necessary such as 3D.
· Neutral Offset
The neutral position can be changed. When the neutral offset is large value, the servo’s range of travel is restricted on one side. · Speed Control
Speeds can be matched by specifying the operating speed. The speed of multiple servos can be matched without being affected by motor fluctuations. This is effective for load torques below the maximum torque.
However, note that the maximum speed will not exceed what the servo is capable of even if the servos operating voltage is increased.
· Dead band
The dead band angle at stopping can be specified.
[Relationship between dead band set value and servo operation] Small Dead band angle is small and the servo is immediately operated by a small signal change.
Large Dead band angle is large and the servo does not operate at small signal changes.
(Note) If the dead band angle is too small, the servo will operate continuously and the current consumption will increase and the life of the servo will be shortened. · Travel Adjust
The left and right travels centered about the neutral position can be set independently.

like the dead band was expanded. The motor can be immediately started by
adjusting the minimum current which can start the motor.
[Relationship between boost set value and servo operation] Small Motor reacts
to a minute current and operation becomes smooth.
Large Initial response improves and output torque increases. However, if the
torque is too large, operation will become rough.
· Boost ON/OFF
OFF : It is the boost ON at the time of low-speed operation. (In the case of
usual)
ON : It is always the boost ON. (When quick operation is hope)
· Damper
The characteristic when the servo is stopped can be set.
When smaller than the standard value, the characteristic becomes an overshoot
characteristic. If the value is larger than the standard value, the brake is
applied before the stop position.
Especially, when a large load is applied, overshoot, etc. are suppressed by
inertia and hunting may occur, depending on the conditions. If hunting
(phenomena which cause the servo to oscillate) occurs even though the Dead
Band, Stretcher, Boost and other parameters are suitable, adjust this
parameter to a value larger than the initial value.
[Relationship between damper set value and servo operation] Small When you
want to overshoot. Set so that hunting does not occur.
Large When you want to operate so that braking is not applied. However, it
will feel like the servo response has worsened.
(Note) If used in the hunting state, not only will the current consumption
increase, but the life of the servo will also be shortened.
· Stretcher
The servo hold characteristic can be set. The torque which attempts to return
the servo to the target position when the current servo position has deviated
from the target position can be adjusted.
This is used when stopping hunting, etc., but the holding characteristic
changes as shown below.
[Relationship between stretcher and servo operation] Small Servo holding force
becomes weaker.
Large Servo holding force becomes stronger.
(Note) When this parameter is large, the current consumption increases.
· Buzzer
When the power supply of a servo is previously turned on at the time of a
power supply injection without taking transmit of a transmitter, the buzzer
sound of about 2.5 Hz continues sounding from a servo.
(Even when the transmit of a transmitter is taken out previously, a buzzer
sounds until the signal of a servo is outputted normally, but it is not
unusual.)
The transmitter has been turned OFF ahead of a servo power supply The buzzer
sound of about 1.25 Hz continues sounding as servo power supply end failure
alarm.
(Do not insert or remove the servo connector while the receiver power is ON.A
buzzer may sound by incorrect recognition.)
*Buzzer sound is generated by vibrating the motor of a servo.
Since current is consumed and a servo generates heat, please do not operate
the number more than needed or do not continue sounding a buzzer for a long
time.

Range check
Before a flight ground range check.
The ‘range check mode’ reduces the transmission range of the radio waves to
allow for a ground range check.
*The range check mode, when activated, will continue for 90 seconds unless the user exits this mode early. When the progress bar reaches 90 second mark, the RF transmission automatically returns to the normal operating power.
WARNING
Do not fly in the range check mode.
*Since the range of the radio waves is short, if the model is too far from the transmitter, control will be lost and the model will crash.
Pushing [ U.MENU/MON. ]Key is continued. Turn ON the transmitter’s power switch [ U.MENU/MON. ] Key will be released if the screen of “Transmit?” comes out.
