I have the Control Module hooked up with my ESC and the
Landing Lights come on at high throttle instead of low throttle!
You will need to instruct the Navigational Lighting Control Module to
reverse the control signal by placing a small jumper on the board. See the
Reversing the Servo Signal area of the Modifications section for
instructions.
I have gotten the Lighting System Control Module wet and now
the landing lights/strobes are lit up dimly instead of being off!
This is because the water is acting as a high-resistance wire and allowing
small amounts of electrical energy to flow across the board into the LED
Lamp wires even when they are off. It is likely that no damage has been
done but it is recommended to see the “Waterproofing” section of this
manual to present this from happening again.
When the battery is very low the Lights all start flashing!
The battery voltage becomes so low that the 5V Regulator inside your
receiver can no longer produce 5V from the dropping input voltage,
shutting down for merely a millisecond. This in turn, cuts the ESC(motor)
and the Lighting System Control Module off. There is quite literally not
much that can be done about this and you should take it as an emergency
indication of the power condition in your model. Shutting off the Landing
Lights may also help to lower the power draw slightly if you are battling this
low battery to get back to the landing site.
I am noticing radio interference/servo glitching when I use this
system in my model!
Radio Interference can seem like a ‘black art’ and unless you have spent
much time researching the characteristics of electromagnetic radiation, this
subject can be very confusing and frustrating. The small beads on the
wires in this system are made of a special compound material specifically
designed to attenuate any electromagnetic energy at or near the same
frequency used in R/C receivers. Make sure these beads are still present.
Make sure your transmitter antenna is fully extended and that your receiver
antenna is not modified or even breaking free from the receiver’s circuit
board. Next make sure the wires are nice and neat; try coiling up the
excess wire instead of bunching it up. Contact Curtek Systems to see if
we can arrive at a more specific resolution.
