The Turbine Limits menu
The LIMITS menu allows the operator to alter the operational limits of the turbine (of course only
within the permitted range). In this way it is possible to adjust the turbine's running char-
acteristics to provide an accurate match to the requirements of a particular model.

Explanation
Idle speed of the turbine (= rpm-slider back)
Default setting = 33000
Maximum speed of the turbine (= rpm-slider forward)
Default setting = 93000
Battery warning function by reducing rpm (not suitable for helicopters)
Default setting = DISABLED
Capacity of the fueltank in ml
Default setting = 2000 ml
Residual fuel volume at which the fuel warning function is activated.
Default setting = 500 ml
Switches the fuel warning function ON/OFF
Standardeinstellung = Disabled (=AUS)
Glowplug voltage in Volts
Default setting = 2.1V for A3 glowplug
The propane gas throughput can be programmed. In the warm part of the
year (-> high gas pressure) it may be advisable to reduce the propane
throughput slightly (to about 30 - 50%), in order to obtain the optimum
ignition mixture combined with reduced gas consumption.
The AUX channel (= 3-position switch) is normally disabled at the PHT3,
the turbine ist controlled by a single channel (rpm-slider).
Possible settings:
„NOT USED" (Default setting )
AUX channel not used, i.e. the AUX lead does not have to be
connected to the receiver
channel only
interrogated when the radio control system is "learned".
„ON, TrbCtrl ON"
=, AUX switch active, AUX switch used to control turbine.
„ON, TrbCtrl OFF"
= AUX switch active, but AUX switch not used to control turbine,
i.e. AUX switch is only used to control auxiliary functions such as
AirSpeed Control or Smoker valve.
Time (in s) during which the thottle channel stays in HOLD mode when a
failsafe event is detected.
Default setting = 1
Turbine rpm during a failsafe event after the delay time is expired.
Time (in s) after which the turbine is shut down if the system is still in
failsafe state
turbine is controlled via the throttle
the AUX channel is not taken into account or
