1. Preface
With the DPSI LCD you purchased a high grade, modern and secure
product. We appreciate your trust!
Long lasting experience for years in development and manufacturing of
electronically systems as well as the knowledge of the world’s best
model airplane pilots has influenced the development. All products are
developed by experienced engineers and manufactured at EMCOTEC
GmbH in Germany on our own production line. Extensive optically and
electronically end tests for every system, which leaves our house,
assure that you, our customer acquire an absolute reliable product,
which considerably increases the reliability of your valuable RC-Model.
Of course, the DPSI LCD (just like all products from EMCOTEC) not
only has been tested extensively in the laboratory, but also went
through intensive flight-testing. Like done in the automobile industry an
FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) reduces the possibility of
damage and malfunction on operating errors to a minimum.
Hint:
We kindly ask you to read these operating instructions carefully and observe the
installation hints. Thus, errors can be avoided in advance.
We are all ears for your wishes and questions. Challenge us!

2. Characteristics
The DPSI LCD serves as an optional extension to DPSI products,
which can control a LC-Display:
•DPSI receiver switch (e.g. TWIN Mini stand alone)
•DPSI dual current supply (e.g. entire TWIN Mini)
•Additional future products
It displays (dependent on DPSI base system) important information in
plain text which is gathered during operation. These is information
about
•Signal quality of the receiver
•Supply voltage of receiver (batteries)
•Withdrawn capacities from batteries
•Current flow in receiver equipment
and much more.
Due to the integrated LEDs system states can be realized immediately
without first reading the text in the display. Critical situations are
indicated by quickly blinking LEDs. Root cause can than be read from
the display.
Three push buttons serve as display selectors or serve for setting up
options. It was never easier to display different data or set up diverse
options. The optimized handling concept was evaluated in practical
studies and is therefore nearly self explaining.
The DPSI LCD can also serve as On/Off switch for certain products of
the EMCOTEC DPSI program, thereby eliminating the need for the
regular switch actuator.
The DPSI LCD is mounted into the model just like a cockpit instrument.
In this way, a functional handling and display unit results, upgrading
the overall picture of the model by these small dimensions and a
shapely housing.

There is a 6-pin connector in the center of the back side of the DPSI
LCD for a connection cable. The connection cable (4-pin or 6-pin
depending on DPSI base system) is simply connected to the 6-pin
connector. Reverse polarity is impossible.
The other side of the cable is connected to the corresponding DPSI
system (e.g. DPSI TWIN Mini). Here, polarity must be observed. The
red wire is “positive” and must be “congruent” with the corresponding
markings (+) at the base system (see picture).

5. Assembly
The DPSI LCD can be used as a cockpit instrument. Cut a squared
hole of 57mm edge length and 6mm inner radii into the cockpit (or
similar mounting plate). The DPSI LCD is then to be fed through the
hole from back to front (!) and secured using 4 regular M3 screws. The
screws are self cutting and find sufficient material in the plastic of the
mounting latches. Screw distance is 60mm.

6. Push-Buttons and LED-Indicators
6.1. Functions of Buttons
Depending on the used or connected DPSI system, the three push
buttons of the DPSI LCD can be used as On/Off switch (e.g. for the
DPSI TWIN Mini including adapted dual power supply).
Turning on is accomplished by pushing the “SET”-button. Turning off is
done by pushing the “DOWN” () and “UP” () buttons simultaneously
(!) for about 2 seconds.
When turned on, the buttons work for conforming entries (“SET”) or for
selections of information from the display “DOWN” () and “UP” ().
By pushing the “UP”- or “DOWN”-buttons multiple times, the menu
(one frame with text) advances.
There are some particular features in the layout of the buttons:
1.) If the “SET”-button is permanently pushed for about 5 seconds
during turning the power on, the system changes into programming
mode (setup). Here, several setups for the system can be
accomplished.
2.) If during operation first the “UP”-button () and additionally the
“SET”-button is pushed, memorized information can be deleted (reset
menu).
3.) If the “SET”-button is pushed during operation, all LEDs will be
turned off. After pushing this button again, the LEDs are turned back
on again. The ultra bright LEDs are very well recognizable even in
bright day light. If the ambient light is dim, the LEDs glare which cause
difficulties to read the display. Therefore, the LEDs can be turned off.

Function Buttons
Turning DPSI on * Push SET momentarily
Turning DPSI off * Push + for 2 seconds simultaneously
Turning LEDs off Push SET momentarily during operation
Turning LEDs on Push SET momentarily during operation
Start setup Push SET during power on for 5 sec.
Reset menu Push , then press SET simultaneously
* Not possible with all systems!
6.2. Functions of LEDs
After turning the DPSI LCD on, all eight LEDs are turned on
temporarily from left to right in order to test their functioning.
The LEDs have different meanings and therefore are assigned
distinctive groups. Depending on the connected system, the LEDs
have an assigned function or not. If e.g. there is no receiver switching
unit installed in the system, the corresponding LEDs (green and blue)
are not used. If no power supply is integrated into the system, the red
and yellow LEDs are not used.
Assignment of the LEDs (top view onto display)
Battery 1 Receiver 1 Battery 2 Receiver 2
Red Yellow Green Blue Red Yellow Green Blue
•The red and yellow LEDs are assigned to battery faults
•The green and blue LEDs are assigned to receiver (errors)
Red means: Error (Danger)
Yellow means: Warning
Green means: All ok
Blue means: Additional information (which receiver is active)
