Timer
The PCM
10X has both an integrated timer and a count-down tim-
ing feature. The integrated timer serves as an up-timer, display-
ing the accumulated time usage for each model in the transmit-
ter’s memory. The count-down feature is used as a stopwatch for
timed flights.
Accessing the Integrated Timing Function
To access the Integrated Timing function, enter Code 87 at the
code number access selection or use the direct mode method.
The screen will display:
Note: Here we will only discuss the integrated timer on the
right portion of the
LCD display. For more information on the
count-down feature, please refer to the Count-Down Timer
Section which follows.
Integrated Timer
The integrated timer displays each model’s accumulated time of
use. After 60 hours, the integrated timer automatically resets to
0:00:00. There are two screens where the integrated timer can be
viewed: 1) in Code 87, timer function, as mentioned previously,
and 2) in the initial screen of the
PCM10X. This screen will
appear as follows:
While you are in the timer feature, you can reset the integrated
timer by pressing the
CLEAR key. The timer returns to 0:00:00
momentarily and begins counting once again.
Note: The timer also resets if Code 28, Data Reset, has been
used.
The Count-Down Timer
This is the left half of the screen.
To activate the Count-Down Timer function, touch the
ACT key.
Your display changes to show that it has been activated.
To adjust the time for the count-down timer, press the + and/or -
keys. From left to right on the timer display they: 1) add minutes
to the timer in one (1) minute intervals up to 60 minutes, 2) sub-
tract minutes from the timer in one (1) minute intervals to 00
minutes, 3) add seconds to the timer in ten (10) second incre-
ments up to 50 seconds.
Once the count-down timer has been set to the proper time, press
the
ENTER key to memorize the settings and exit the program.
To view your count-down timer settings, return to the initial
screen of the
PCM10X.
The screen should now show:
Note: If the count-down timer is left at 0:00, zero, and active,
you may use it as a stopwatch.
Use of the Count-Down Timer
Touch the ST/SP key to start or stop the count-down timer. This
also serves to activate the stopwatch when the timer is set to
0:00, zero.
Touch the
CLEAR key to reset the count-down timer to the prese-
lected time.
During the count-down, the timer beeps twice at each minute
until it reaches the 30 seconds remaining mark, when it beeps
three times. At each ten (10) second interval afterwards, it beeps
twice until it reaches the final ten (10) seconds. It then beeps
once for each second until zero, 0, time remains, when it sounds
one long beep. Once the timer has reached the zero, 0, count, the
display shows + to the right side of the time count. It then begins
to count upwards as elapsed time.
