Futaba T6K-V3S Transmitter - Version 3S Update Features
Overview of Changes
The T6K-V3S transmitter has been updated with new features. Please read this document and refer to the included instruction manual for usage.
Data Transfer (Transferring Model Data to Other T6K Transmitters)
Model data from the T6K-V3S cannot be transferred to older T6K transmitters. However, model data from older T6K transmitters can be transferred to the T6K-V3S transmitter.
Version 3S Added Functions
Glider/Wing Type: Added 2AIL-B
The previous 2AIL setting used channels CH1 and CH6 for ailerons. The new 2AIL-B setting uses channels CH1 and CH3 for ailerons.
The 2AIL-B setting is specifically for unpowered gliders. Functions related to engines or motors cannot be used with this setting.
| Channel | 2AIL (Previous) | 2AIL-B (New) |
|---|---|---|
| Aileron 1 | CH1 | CH1 |
| Aileron 2 | CH6 | CH3 |
Diagram Description: A visual comparison showing the channel assignments for ailerons in the 2AIL and 2AIL-B configurations for a glider wing.
Switch D is now 3-Position
The Switch D on the T6K, previously a 2-position switch, is now a 3-position switch in the V3S version.
Glider Model Condition Setting: Expanded to 4 Conditions
The glider model condition setting has been expanded from 3 conditions to 4 conditions.
| Condition | SW(D) 3-Position | SWC | SWA |
|---|---|---|---|
| NORMAL | INH | OFF | NULL |
| CONDITION 1 | INH | OFF | CNT |
| CONDITION 2 | INH | OFF | DWN |
| CONDITION 3 | ON | SWD | DWN |
Diagram Description: A visual representation of the glider model condition screen, showing the four conditions (NORMAL, CONDITION 1, CONDITION 2, CONDITION 3) and their corresponding switch assignments (SW(D), SWC, SWA).
Glider Model Trim Mix: Rudder Trim Added
Rudder trim has been added to the trim mix settings for glider models.
Diagram Description: A visual of the glider model trim mix screen, illustrating the trim mix settings for Aileron (CH1), Elevator (CH2), Flaps (CH5, CH3), and the newly added Rudder (CH4). It shows how these controls can be mixed with other functions.
When the SW is turned ON, the rudder can also be offset.
Timer: Now has 2 Circuits
The timer function now supports two circuits, allowing two separate times to be measured simultaneously.
Diagram Description: Visuals of the two timer screens, showing settings for Timer 1 and Timer 2, including MODE (UP/DOWN), TIME, START, RESET, and VIBRATION (VIB) options.
Helicopter Model: Governor Setting Function Added
A governor setting function has been added for helicopter models. When using the governor, rotation speed can be adjusted directly from the transmitter. Rotation speed control is assigned to CH7.
Diagram Description: A visual of the helicopter model governor screen, showing menu options, governor mix settings, channel assignments (CH7), mode selection (NORM, IDL1, IDL2, HOLD), and OFF status.
Setting Example: Rotation Speed and ON/OFF with a 3-Position Switch
This example demonstrates how to use a 3-position switch to control governor rotation speed and ON/OFF.
| 3-Position Switch Direction | Rate Adjustment | Governor Rotation Speed Setting (Example) |
|---|---|---|
| UP | 0% | OFF |
| CNTR (Center) | 50% | 1400 RPM |
| DOWN | 100% | 1700 RPM |
Note: For Rotation Speed 3 (1700 RPM in this example), set the maximum desired rotation speed and then adjust it downwards from the transmitter. For the other settings, use the initial rate values as provided.
Switching Rotation Speed per Condition
By selecting 'Cond' for the switch, you can enable condition-specific rotation speed settings. Transmitter-based rotation speed adjustments are made via rate settings; always confirm the actual rotation speed using the governor's display.
Note: Rotation speed and ON/OFF switch settings vary by governor. Refer to your specific governor's instruction manual. Ensure the governor turns OFF during throttle hold. If the rotation speed unexpectedly increases, reverse the polarity of CH7.
