Explanation
The propane tank can be drained after a successful turbine start to
reduce the risc of fire. (The shut off valve stays open, so the gas is
burned by the turbine during normal operation)
Default setting = Disabled (=OFF)
The ECU can directly control a valve which blows smoke fluid / diesel fuel
into the exhaust efflux (à to generate smoke).
Possible settings are:
DISABLED : (inaktive)
Open if AuxSw=2
Open if AuxSw=0
Default setting = Disabled (=OFF)
Procedure required for triggering the turbine start by the rpm-slider:
• SEQUENCE
: Sequence OFF - Idle - Max - Idle
• THROTTLE MAX : Max position of the slider
• IMMEDIATE
: Transition from OFF to idle
Default setting = SEQUENCE
The smoker valve control can be used to indicate various emergency
states (smoke „pulsates" in small clouds):
DISABLED : OFF
BATTERY LOW : Turbine battery is close to empty
FUEL LOW : Fuel tank is nearly empty
BATTorFUEL LOW : Battery or tank nearly empty
BATT,FUEL,FAILS : Battery or tank nearly empty or radio interferences
FAIL-SAFE : Radio interferences occur
Default setting = Disabled (=OFF)
Tip: At a helicopter you can use a flashing light or LED instead of the
smoker to visualize the emergency states above.
