throttle failsafe position to be very low – at least 5% lower than your normal throttle range. Then,
when the MicroVector sees the throttle in this very low position, it can know that the receiver is in
failsafe.
To do this, first select the "Thr Fsafe" option for “Failsafe Detection Method” in the menu.
Then, program your receiver failsafes (following your radio manufacturer’s instructions) with your
throttle trim all the way down, as shown in the left part of the illustration.
Next, trim your throttle back up to a higher position. During normal operation, you must keep your
throttle trim well above the failsafe setting, as shown in the right part of the illustration.
When you run the Receiver Analysis wizard, the MicroVector will detect the low trim failsafe position
when you turn off your radio. Whenever the throttle is trimmed that low, the MicroVector will assume
the receiver is in failsafe. And, the MicroVector will learn your normal minimum throttle during the
wizard, when it asks you to set the throttle to the off position.
After you follow these steps, if the error "Throttle Failsafe Incorrect! " is displayed during
MicroVector bootup, that means you did not do the throttle failsafe programming correctly, or the gap
between normal and failsafe throttle trim is too small.
NOTE: If you use the throttle failsafe method with multirotors, the multirotor will descend
rapidly between the time the throttle is driven low by the failsafe condition, and when RTH is triggered.
This is normally less than 1 second. This delay should not occur or should be reduced if you use the
S.BUS
TM
or Mode Switch failsafe detection methods.
