15. Fail-Safe Function

Your remote control receiver offers the option of taking the throttle servo or the electronic speed controller to a certain

position or to the stop function if no correct remote control signal is received any longer in case of an interference.

If the idle position (central position of the operating lever for driving) was selected as a fail safe position, the vehicle

comes to a halt automatically if the radio transmission is interfered with or the model drives out of the remote control‘s

range.

You can also select any brake position (e.g. 50% brake effect) as the fail safe position (sensible e.g. for a combustion

vehicle).Inthiscase,xtheoperatingleverfordrivinginthedesiredpositionwitharubberringwhensettingthefail

In order perform the fail safe settings, proceed as follows:

• Take the operating lever for driving to the desired position.

• First,switchonthetransmitterandthenthereceiver.

• Rightafterthat,pushandholdthefail-safebuttonatthere-

ceiver (17).

• ThereceiverLED(16)onthereceiverstartstoashafterap-

prox. 3 seconds.

• WhentheLEDashes,releasethebutton.

• When the LED is lit again permanently, the fail safe position

is stored.

• Thesavedfail-safepositionremainssavedevenafterswitch-

ing the receiver off and on again.

Then perform a function test; proceed as follows:

• When using the throttle servo, accelerate a little with the combustion engine out and then switch off the transmitter.

The throttle servo then has to go into the fail safe position immediately.

• Forelectronicmodelswithanelectronicspeedcontroller,supportthevehiclesothatthewheelscanturnfreelyfor

the test. Then take the vehicle into operation as usual. Move the operating lever for the driving function towards the

handle so that the motor starts up and the wheels turn.

If you switch off the transmitter now, the motor must stop if the middle position of the operating lever for the driving

functionwassavedasthefail-safepositionrst.
