Pre Press 52 Function Acceleration (Throttle Acceleration) Caburetor Brake side Servo horn Clearance FWRD Servo travel BRAKE 0% 50% 100% 0% 50% 100% Setup item Forward side acceleration amount Brake side acceleration amount - Operation near the throt- tle trigger neutral position becomes a sharp rise. - The forward and brake sides can be set separate- ly. - When the brake mixing function (p.80) is set, the CH3/CH4 brake can also be set. Operation Acceleration (Throttle Acceleration) (Throttle system) The servo will jump to the input position at its maximum possible speed. Unlike exponen- tial, which adjusts the whole throttle movement into a curve, throttle acceleration simply "jumps" away from neutral and then leaves the remaining response linear. The standard value (100% point) of this setup affects the operation amount set by throttle end point function. Set value For gasoline engine cars, the linkage must have a clearance because one servo controls the engine carburetor and brake. Thus, there is a noticeable time delay at both the forward and brake sides. Sharp response comparable to that of electric mo- tor cars is obtained by reducing this clearance at the transmitter side. Convenient usage method 4PX-Eng-08-Function-46-65.indd 522014/07/18 17:14:51 Brake2Brake3Brake2 & 3 53 Function Acceleration (Throttle Acceleration) (Preparation) - Select the setting item "Forward" by (JOG) button up or down operation and make the following adjustments: 1 (Forward acceleration amount adjustment) Use the (+) and (-) buttons to adjust the acceleration amount.
