Default Jetronics Brake Valve Setup

Hello Guys,

I am helping my friend set up the Jetronics brake valve:
http://www.jet-tronics.de/Jet-Tronic...ve%20de-en.pdf

And I have a problem setting it up.
I would like to use it on a simple switch as on/off brake only, but I did try a slider also (according to the instructions) on his Futaba 18SZ.
Even if I do the setup exactly like in the manual, learn both limit points, at this point, even before the 3 second red led press, the wheels are locked and braked.
And if I hold the red button 3 seconds, I don’t see anything happening.
the wheels are fully braked in both points, and when I flick the switch on Tx the red/green light light up accordingly for 1 second, then come off. But in both conditions, wheels are always braked!

How can I set it up to completely release brake on one side of the switch?
Is there an instructional video maybe?
I figured some pilots here might be using these.
thanks.

Make sure your airlines aren't switched up. Had the same problem a couple weeks ago - I had the airlines swapped.

I can't get your link to open, but if your valve is like this:

It worked flawlessly for me. I recently had to convert back to an on board air brake system for brakes, so I recently had to set it up.

Good Luck!

I am having this exact problem with the JT brake valve tonight. Did you figure it out?
Thanks

Yes, he had the input and output lines connected together by mistake.
