Sidus F1Q – free flight electronic timer
5/9
The motor stop time is freely programmable between 0.1s and DT. All the other
functions are strictly sequential (FUNC1 > FUNC2 > ,.., FUNC6 > DT). Each
activation time is programmable between the activation times of the previous and
following functions. Example.: if FUNC1 = 11.8s and FUNC3 = 13.6s then FUNC2 will be
programmable between 11.9s and 13.5s
Automatic Programmer switch off: the Programmer automatically goes to “sleep” to
save power if inactive for about 2 min. and wakes up by pressing any key. The message
“Batte y low!
Batte y low!Batte y low!
Batte y low!” indicates that the internal battery needs to be recharged.
Timing sequence modification
Each available function has its own activation time and a set of servos positions. The
motor is started at the beginning of the timing and it has a programmable stop time.
During timing the servo positions related to the current function will be kept until the
activation of the following function.
Before modifying the timing sequence it must be read from the Timer
1. aim the Programmer at the Timer (make sure it is ON)
2. from the MAIN menu press and hold T1 (READ) until seeing the screen for FUNC1
3. scroll the display with T3/T4 to view the screens related to the other functions, motor
stop time and DT. Reach the function which activation time must be modified
4. press and hold T1 until ‘w’ (write) appears close to the activation time
5. shortly press T3/T4 to increase/decrease the time of one count, or press and hold
T3/T4 to have faster increments/decrements until reaching the wished value
6. shortlly press T2 (Exit) once and repeat the previous steps to modify the activation
time of another function, or shortly press T2 (Exit) again to end the modifications and
return to the MAIN menu
7. If one or more time values are modified, they must be written onto the Timer for
permanent storing. Press and hold T2 (WRITE) until the message “Writing…” screen is
displayed. Should the writing fail, it may be repeated with T2 (WRITE) or aborted with
T4 (Exit). To abort the modifications without updating the Timer just make the writing
fail by aiming the Programmer away of the Timer , then choose T4 (Exit).
Motor start unlocking
After the completion of a timing sequence, re-enable a new motor start by aiming the
Programmer at the Timer (make sure it is ON), then press and hold T2 (UNLOCK) until
the message “Unlockin
