… then, with a brief simultaneous tap on the or
keys of the right four-way button (CLEAR), the
entry for a control will be erased.
Defining the switching point
Using the selection key of the left or right four-way
button to move the marker frame into the column
labeled STO (store).
Move the selected transmitter control to the position
at which the switching point, i. e. the switch between
OFF/ON, should trigger and briefly tap the center
SET key of the right four-way button. The current
position is displayed, for example “+85 %”:

The switching point can be altered at any time with
another tap on the center SET key of the right four-
way button.
Note:
Do not, however, set a switching point at a transmit-
ter control’s travel end-point, since this makes reli-
able switching impossible. If a 2-way or 3-way switch
is used to operate a control switch, the switch point
should be programmed in advance with one of the
transmitter’s proportional controls.
First, assign the corresponding proportional control
in the 2nd column and set the switching point in such
a way that will ensure the subsequent configuration
for the 2-way or 3-way switch will reliably exceed
this value. If you do not, the switching function will
be unreliable, since the control switch triggers only
if a value unambiguously fails to meet or exceeds
the value set! To complete the procedure, cancel the
transmitter control assignment then assign the 2-way
or 3-way switch.
Setting the switching direction
The switching direction of the control switch is
changed as required in the 4th column. Use the
selection key of the left or right four-way button to
move the marker frame into the column labeled SEL
(select). Following a brief tap on the center SET key
of the right four-way button, the switch direction can
by changed back-and-forth between “normal” and
“reversed” with the selection keys of the left or right
four-way button:

A simultaneous tap on the or keys of the
right four-way button (CLEAR) will reset the switch
direction back to “=>”.
The current switch position of the control switch is
displayed in the leftmost column by the switch icon
next to the number of the control switch.
Notes:
• In this example control switch ”C1” is open as long
as transmitter control “Lever 2” (the throttle limit-
er for a helicopter) is less than +85 % of control
tra vel. It closes once the switching point is excee-
ded, i. e. by a value over +85 % and up to the up-
per limit.
• In the above example with the switching direction
reversed, control switch “C1” remains closed while
the transmitter control is at less than +85 % of full
travel. As soon as the switching point is exceeded,
in this example a value between +85 % and the
upper travel end-point, “C3” will open.
• If a control switch – e. g. “C1” – has multiple assign-
ments, you should bear in mind that the switching
direction set here applies to all C3 switches.
• The switch state can also be inverted by reversing
the control in the »Control adjust« menu.
Combining a control switch with a switch
The control switch can be overridden by a further
switch, so that e. g. in certain flight situations the func-
tion to be triggered can be activated independently of
the control position and thus the position of the con-
trol switch.
Change to the value field in the 5th column, the col-
umn above the rightmost switch symbol. In the sim-
plest case, select one of the switches mounted in the
two switch panels, as described in the section “Physi-
cal control, switch and control switch assignments”
on page 68. The number of this switch, e. g. “10”,
appears on the display in the next-to-the last column
at the right, together with a switch icon indicating the
switch’s current state.
