HITEC Eclipse7 Setup

The throttle connects to CH3

The auxiliary connects to CH7

EPA (End Point Adjustment) setup [EPA]:

Setup the throttle with the EPA range as close to 100% as possible.

Select CH7 and set to R/D 110% and L/U 110%

The system is now ready for calibration. Calibration Procedure

The target rotor speed can be calculated using the EPA Calculator

 

Example 1): 2 speed setup:

Gear ratio = 9.3:1

EPA L/U = 44%, EPA R/D = 77%

 

CH7 Sw Posn             Rotor RPM

R/D                         1500

        L/U                          1200

 

Example 2): 1 speed setup and disable:

Gear ratio = 9.3:1

EPA L/U = 0%, EPA R/D = 77%

 

CH7 Sw Posn                Rotor RPM

R/D                             1500

L/U                             Disabled

 

Example 3): Flight Mode Mixing:

The Gyro channel can be used for flight mode mixing. Calibration must been done using CH7.  The Gyro rates correspond to half the EPA or calculated rates. A Gyro rate of 50% disables the governor. The Gyro rate for the Flight mode channels must be subtracted from 50%. For example, an EPA of 77% for 1500 rpm corresponds to a gyro rate of 50 - 77/2 = 12 rounded up.

After calibration, move the auxliary channel to CH5 - GYRO. Connect the gyro to CH7 and use the EPA for CH7 to set the gyro gain. Below 50% EPA, the gyro gain is disabled.

Set the throttle curves in Flight modes ST1 and ST2 above the throttle priority level.

Set the NOR rate to 50% (Disables the Governor)

Set the ST1 rate to 28%        (50 - (EPA1200/2))

Set the ST2 rate to 12%        (50 - (EPA1500/2))

 

Flight Mode     Rotor RPM

NOR              Disabled

ST1                1200rpm

ST2               1500rpm
