5. Setup and Installation
The Futaba FSH69 Mounting Pads are designed for straightforward installation. They are primarily intended for use with the Futaba GY520 Gyro (FUTM0810).
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface where the gyro will be mounted is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or any debris. A clean surface ensures optimal adhesion.
- Peel the Backing: Carefully peel off the protective backing from one side of the mounting pad to expose the adhesive.
- Apply to Gyro: Align the adhesive side of the pad with the bottom surface of your Futaba GY520 Gyro or other compatible component. Press firmly to ensure good contact.
- Peel Second Backing: Once the pad is securely attached to the gyro, peel off the remaining protective backing from the other side of the pad.
- Mount the Gyro: Carefully position the gyro with the attached mounting pad onto the desired mounting location on your model. Press down firmly and evenly for several seconds to ensure a strong bond.
Note: For best results, allow the adhesive to cure for a short period (e.g., 15-30 minutes) before subjecting the component to vibrations or movement.
6. Operating
These mounting pads are passive components and do not require any operational procedures. Their function is to provide vibration dampening and secure attachment for other electronic components.
7. Maintenance
The Futaba FSH69 Mounting Pads require no specific maintenance. If a pad loses its adhesive properties or becomes damaged, it should be replaced with a new one to ensure optimal performance of the mounted component.
8. Troubleshooting
As passive components, these mounting pads typically do not require troubleshooting. If a component mounted with these pads experiences excessive vibration or detachment, consider the following:
- Poor Adhesion: Ensure the mounting surface was clean and dry during installation. Re-clean the surface and use a new pad if necessary.
- Damaged Pad: Inspect the pad for tears, compression, or degradation. Replace if damaged.
- Incorrect Application: Verify that the pad is correctly sized and positioned for the component being mounted.
