Thank you for purchasing a Futaba GV-1 governor.
To ensure safe use, please read this manual thoroughly before
using your new governor. After reading this manual, store it in a
safe place.
FOREWORD
The GV-1 is an engine governor for model helicopters.
The governor automatically maintains constant rotor R.P.M.due
to load changes (reaction to torque) by suppressing variations in
the engine speed. The GV-1 works very well in all maneuvers,
from hovering to flying.
-Engine speed can be set from both the GV-1 and the transmitter.
-A magnetic sensing system reads the engine speed.
-Fuel mixture control can be set.
-An LCD panel displays the engine speed and set data.
-No part of this manual may be reproduced in any form without prior permission.
-The contents of this manual are subject to change without prior notice.
-This manual has been carefully written. Please contact Futaba if you feel that any cor-
rections or clarifications should be made to the contents of this manual.

PRECAUTIONS
Setting precautions
When using the GV-1 for the first time, or when making
changes in the throw of a servo, always perform the limit
setting operation.
(Setting method: Page 45)
Always set battery fail safe function at the GV-1.
(Setting method: Page 44)
Since the GV-1, when used, controls the throttle, the battery fail safe function
that is in a PCM transmitter will not be used.
Because the GV-1 controls the throttle, the throttle channel
fail safe function normally set in a PCM transmitter will not
be used. Set the fail safe function as described below.
Transmitter setting
Use the fail safe function for the channel that turns the governor on and
off to set the fail safe position to the point at which the governor is
turned off. With this setting, when the system enters the fail safe state,
the governor will be turned off and the receiver throttle signal will be
output directly.

PRECAUTIONS

the sensor case so be careful
when mounting the sensor.

When using the PCM1024Z transmitter
When using the condition hold (CHD) function, always set the
throttle servo maximum operating point (MAX THR) to 20% or
less.
Depending on the conditions, this setting will turn on the governor and
prevent the engine from exceeding the set speed even when condition
hold is set.
(Governor ON conditions)
The following conditions must be performed, to turn on the
governor:
-Governor ON/OFF switch set to ON position.
-Throttle stick set to 20% or more from slow position.
-Engine speed raised to 70% or more of set speed.

PRECAUTIONS
Operating precautions
At the beginning of flight, keep the governor in the OFF
state by setting the throttle stick to no more than 20% from
the slow side.
While the engine is running, turn on the governor at the point which the throttle
stick is at least 20% from the slow side and the engine speed exceeds 70% of
the set speed.
When the model is on the ground, lower the pitch to the
position at which the model does not try to lift off. Do not
take your eyes off the model.
When the governor operates and the rotor speed increases the lift also in-
creases causing the model to try lift off , depending on the pitch position.
Periodically check the sensor output.
(Check method: Page 46)
The magnet rotates at high speed and is subjected to a large centrifugal force.
Check the sensor output and mounting state about once every 10 flights.
If the model begins to shake during operation, immediately
turn off the governor.
(See "Governor on/off operation mode setting" on page
29.)
When engine speed is not stable at high R.P.M.'s
The carburetor design, etc. may cause the engine to operate
unstable. If this occurs, lower the maximum speed setting to the
range over which there is no problem.

BEFORE USE
Overview of GV-1 operation
The GV-1 operates from 1000 to 2100rpm main rotor speed . However, the
engine must be running at the set speed. The GV-1 turns off the governor
when the engine is starting or idling.
*Governor operation = Operation that stabilizes the engine speed at the set speed.
When governor turned on and off by switch (Normal
condition)
Setting the switch to the ON position turns on the governor. The following
describes this operation.
-Throttle stick set at least 20% from slow posi-
tion and engine running at 70% or more of set
speed ->->-> ON
-Throttle stick set to maximum slow position ->-
>-> Remains ON
-Switch set to off position ->->-> OFF
When governor turned on and off by transmitter
throttle stick
Governor can be turned
on and off by a switch.
100%
0%
15% or less
(OFF region)
(OFF at slow side)
The data is set so that the governor can be turned on and off with the trans-
mitter throttle stick. The following describes this operation.
-Throttle stick set at least 20% from slow side
and engine running at 70% or more of set
speed ->->-> ON
-Throttle stick held at 15% or more from slow
side ->->-> Remains ON
-Throttle stick lowered 15% or more from slow
side ->->-> OFF
(Governor operating point)
Set speed
20% or more of stick deflection
and 70% of set speed
