4. Equalizer II you will need to put a Y connector in the receiver channel you are using and run one side directly to a servo and the other side to the Equalizer II On the Equalizer 3D there is a feed thru connector marked F that simple passes the receiver signal to that servo but allows the servo to be powered from the auxiliary power connectors It is suggested you set the options with the servos disconnected 1 Connect the servo you wish to match to the Y connector for the Equalizer I or the feed thru connector on the Equalizer 3D Turn the receiver power on and use the transmitter functions to set the centering and endpoints of this servo These are the reference points you will match the other servos to 2 Enter the Option Menu First Reset the unit 6 and then Calibrate the unit 5 transmitter must be on Next turn on Servo Priority 4 and lastly select your Power Source 1 and return the unit to Run 0 3 Turn the power off and connect the servos Turn the selector to Adjust Servo A 1 and power on At this point the servo on output A is being driven while output B and output C on Equalizer 3D are turned off Use the Incr and Decr buttons to adjust the center on servo A so that your current draw is at a minimum or the buzzing goes away Turn the selector to Adjust Servo B 2 and use the Incr and Decr buttons to adjust the center on servo B so that your current draw is at a minimum or the buzzing

6. asing the plane The unit normally takes between one to three seconds to come alive If it does not respond after this time something is probably wrong with the unit and it should be replaced The Equalizer can only do so much A lot depends on the quality of the mechanics of your system It is strongly suggested that you keep the servo rotation below 50 degrees even at high rates Travel beyond this rotation results in reduced mechanical advantage and a higher susceptibility to mechanical interference Use good servo arms and high quality mechanical linkage The linkage should be very very smooth before attempting to align it Always range check your plane Moving wires and adding additional wiring can change the behavior of your plane s antenna and the strength of the signal the receiver is getting from the transmitter Never fly if you have a question about your radio system performance Multiple Ganged Servos Using Endpoint Hold and Servo Priority The following method sets up multiple servos on a single surface servos are ganged to a single moving surface Examples of this are rudders with two or three servos ailerons with two or three servos or elevator halves with two servos on each half The options chosen from the Option Menu for this example make it easy for a single person to do the setup unassisted It is suggested you set the options with the servos disconnected the first time 1 Enter the Option Menu First Reset the unit 6 and

9. mally adjusted One method is to just listen to the servos chatter and adjust it until this disappears or is minimized A second more accurate method is to monitor the current draw of the servos You do not need to move your current monitor to each servo you adjust because when one servo is pulling against all the others they have to fight back and their current draw will increase Using this little fact all you need to do is monitor the current on the servo connected to output A Minimizing this current will mean the servos are at their optimal positions Lastly you can leave the screws out of the arms so they can be removed When you think you have a servo at its optimal position you should be able to lift the arm off the spindle and replace it very easily It should virtually drop onto the spindle If you feel your servos are highly mismatched you may want to remove the arms from the servos and only put the arm back on when the spindle has been adjusted to a position where the arm drops on with little or no effort Move down the chain of servos putting the arms on as you adjust each servo s optimal position If you feel the endpoints are also highly mismatched repeat this procedure for each of the endpoint adjustments Operating Precautions The Equalizer performs a self check each time it is turned on If it discovers a failure it will not operate Always perform a check on all surfaces to make sure that all servos are operating normally before rele
