68 TAURUS <strong>ELECTRO</strong> www.pipistrel.si REV. 0 Aircraft and systems on board ESYS-MAN V2 electric system control control & monitoring instrument In order to simplify aircraft handling, the ESYS-MAN system takes complete control over the propulsion unit except, including the “throttle” . The system is very light and reliable as all switches and sensors used to monitor the operations are inductive type and as such not sensitive to vibration, mechanical damage and/or dirt. ESYS-MAN provides protections to system and is networked to the power controller, motor arm controller, BMSs and charger via CAN bus. System enable switch (ON/OFF) – This is the switch that enables the power to the system. When set to ON (up), the status of the system will be confirmed with the Status message above the switch. This is the first switch to be enabled and last to be disabled during the operation of the propulsion system. Indication via message (ON, OFF). Position selector (UP/DOWN) – use this switch to extend or retract the motor. The procedure is fully automated (see next page!). Indication via message (UP, DN, UP-intermittant, DN-intermittant). Throttle (RPM selector) – rotary knob that acts as the throttle command. Rotate right for incremental RPM increase and left for incremental RPM decrease. The throtte bar (white) below the RPM and PWR fields on the display corresponds to current throttle level. Depressing the button for 2 seconds will overrun the current throttle setting and initiate full power immediately (should only be used in emergency). Extending the propeller arm: WARNING! BEFORE EXTENDING THE PROPELLER ARM IN-FLIGHT, SET FLAPS TO T STAGE AND REDUCE SPEED TO 80 KM/H (450KTS) OR BELOW. 1. Switch the System enable switch ON (pull switch and move up). This activates the system. Wait for ON indication on left-bottom of ESYS-MAN V2 (typically less than 5 sec). 2. Switch the Position selector switch to UP (pull switch and move up). The electric brake will hold the propeller steady when it is moving towards the extended position. An intermittant UP message is displayed, indication the system in motion. Do not touch the unit until solid UP is displayed.
www.pipistrel.si TAURUS <strong>ELECTRO</strong> 69 Aircraft and systems on board REV. 0 Running the motor (continued from Extending the propeller arm): CAUTION! BEFORE STARTING-UP THE MOTOR, VERIFY THE PROPELLER ARM IS EXTENDED AND PROPELLER IN VERTICAL POSITION BY CHECKING THE COCKPIT MIRROR. 1. Rotate the throttle knob to select RPM (add power) When the motor is running, the display will show motor RPM. Also notice the throttle bar indicator. Retracting the propeller arm: WARNING! BEFORE RETRACTING THE PROPELLER ARM IN-FLIGHT, SET FLAPS TO T STAGE AND REDUCE SPEED TO 80 KM/H (45 KTS). A COOLING PERIOD IS NOT REQUIRED. 1. Reduce RPM to zero (rotate throttle knob left) and monitor the throttle bar. Monitor the RPM dropping towards zero. 2. Switch the Position selector switch to DOWN (pull switch and move down). The electric brake will initiate propeller positioning. Once propeller is positioned, the retraction will continue automatically. An intermittent DN message is displayed, indicating system in motion. Do not touch the unit and wait until the solid DN message is displayed! 3. Switch the System enable switch to OFF (pull switch and move down). This deactivates the system. Shutting-down the motor IN FLIGHT: WARNING! When in flight, Shutting down the system is only premitted when the propeller is in the retracted position. On Ground, this precaution is not valid. 1. Retract the propeller arm 2. Switch the system enable switch to OFF (down) WARNING! always wait before the system IS confirmed in full extended or full retracted position before operating the master switch or THE SYSTEm ENABLE SWITCH! The propeller brake is electric and does not work without power. in flight and with the system in the middle of retraction, cutting the power will result in propeller damage! Alerts, error messages, info messages EYS-MAN V2 wil give alerts on the screen in form of error message (RED) and info messages (WHITE). Each message must be confirmed by a click-press of the RPM knob. Possible messages include: Motor temperature high – Recommended: reduce power (motor is hot) ESC temperature high – Recommended: reduce power (speed controller is hot) Batt. temperature high – Recommended: reduce power and retract motor (battery is hot) Batt. temperature low– Recommended: do not use power in system, danger of battery damage. Battery low 20% – Recommended: consider retracting the motor soon Battery empty – Recommended: retract motor immediately or retraction will be automatic Timeout (after motor retracted) - Recommended: Switch system enable OFF to prevent ESC overheating, select master switch I (glide mode).
