9303 PROGRAM MIX EXAMPLES
Here are a few examples of some common program mixes. They are intended as a quick reference guide and
may require modification to suit a particular installation.
SMOKE SYSTEM MIXER
This mixer is used to turn a smoke system on and off and is intended for a smoke system that plugs
directly into the receiver (RX). The mix is turned on and off using a combination of the throttle stick
position and a switch. When the switch is turned on and the throttle stick is moved above a certain
point, the smoke system comes on. When the switch is turned off, the smoke system is disabled and will
not come on when the throttle stick is advanced.
The are many ways to program this type of mixer and this is but one of them. The mixer will use the
AUX4 channel (channel 9) for the smoke system and will use the GEAR switch to turn the smoke mixer
on and off. The approach involves reducing the travel of the smoke channel (AUX4) to where the
smoke system just turns off so there is not enough travel on the AUX4 channel to activate the smoke
pump. Then the mix will add to the AUX4 travel, turning the smoke system on. The mixer uses the
Throttle as the Master and AUX4 as the Slave and the Offset will be set so that the smoke system comes
on at about ½ throttle.
1. Access the DEVIC.SEL function and temporarily Activate the Rudder D/R switch under the
AUX4 channel. This activates AUX4.
2. Plug the smoke system into the AUX4 channel and turn on the Transmitter (TX) and RX.
3. Flip the Rudder D/R switch back and forth and the smoke pump should run when in one of the
switch positions. Turn the smoke system off with the switch for now.
4. Access the TRVL ADJ. Function. With the Rudder D/R switch in the position that causes the
smoke system to turn ON, reduce the travel of the AUX4 channel in both directions until the
smoke pump just turns off (travel percentages should be equal for both directions). At this point
there is not enough travel on the AUX4 channel to turn the smoke system on. Power everything
off.
5. Return to the Devic.SEL function and Inhibit the AUX4 channel. The Rudder D/R switch can
no longer control the smoke system.
6. Access an unused program mix (PROG MIX3, 4, 5, or 6)
7. Select #THR as the Master. This Throttle selection with the # sign at the beginning of the name
indicates that the mixer is to ignore any throttle curves that may be associated with the throttle
channel. The mixer will read only the physical position of the throttle stick.
8. Select AUX4 as the Slave.
9. Select the GEAR switch to turn the mixer on and off.
10. Highlight and select Offset and set the value to 0 which should represent ½ throttle.
