Sensor installation and identification



Take a look at the sensors. Of course I do not need a magnifying glass for this, but some of you others, (and you know who you are), might.

One side has no writing on it. This is NOT the side to go toward the magnet

This side, with the writing, it the sensor side to face the magnets.

DO NOT INSTALL THE MAGNETS AT THIS TIME.



Run the throttle servo wire from the transmitter to the Twin Sync to power it up, after first turning on the transmitter…or course. Lay the rare earth magnet down on a flat piece of paper or some surface that you are SURE it will not roll off of and down into the shag carpet!!

Pass the sensor for servo or engine #1 over the magnet and look for the green light on the circuit board to light. If it does not light, turn the magnet over and try again. It will now light as you pass the sensor over it.

Now, Mark the correct pole or side of the magnet to identify which side MUST face the sensor. Use #1 or similar to not mix up the magnet for each engine and mark the sensor wires to make sure you do not cross them.

Notice the two green lights in the upper center of this picture

When you pass the sensor for engine two over the correct side of the magnet, this light will flash. The other light is for engine/ sensor two. Once the test is completed do not mix up the magnets or wiring.


Due to memory fading with hair, I marked the sensor wires 1 and 2 to avoid mix up.

Just to be sure ( The mind is going with the hair) I also marked the respective engines 1 and 2.
