    HP E- ANUAL LYMPUS START AMT N ETHERLANDS Page 6. Installation Revision: 2.07 • If using 2, or more, main tanks that require Tee pieces, use the proper Festo Tee (part# FCK-3-PK4 KU), not the plastic tees that are supplied with most model fuel tanks as these are not suitable for kerosene, and may also allow air into the fuel system.
  • Page 47 HP E- ANUAL LYMPUS START AMT N ETHERLANDS Page 6. Installation Revision: 2.07 6.11 Alternative method for fuelling up the model If using this alternative fuelling system (below) the main fuel tank(s) in your model will remain full after you have started the turbine, until you taxy out for take-off, and this is very useful at some large model meetings where it is often necessary to wait before take-off is permitted.

    HP E- ANUAL LYMPUS START AMT N ETHERLANDS Page 7. Operation Revision: 2.07 7.1. Fueling 7.1.1 Fueling kerosene Fuel up the model as described in chapter 6. Important note: If fuel enters the turbine by accident, empty the turbine by putting the model in a vertical position, with the exhaust nozzle and ducting downwards for at least 15 minutes to ensure that all fuel has drained out, and the remaining fuel in the motor and ducting has evaporated.

    It is a good idea to check throttle and switch (or throttle and trim) operation before every flight, by listening for the beeps as described above. Starting the Olympus HP E-start (ECU software version 6.14 or higher) Note: AMT recommends that you fully charge the ECU/pump nicad battery before every flight, to be sure that you have the maximum energy possible for powering the electric starter and glowplug to ensure reliable starting.

    HP E- ANUAL LYMPUS START AMT N ETHERLANDS Page 7. Operation Revision: 2.07 Put the 3-position switch (or throttle trim lever for single channel operation) on the transmitter in the 'off' position (low pitched beep). When you use an external gas tank, instead of an internal gas container, connect this gas tank to the system and open the regulator valve fully.

  • Page 55: Switching Off In Case Of An Emergency

    Note: AMT highly recommend recharging the ECU/pump nicad before every flight, and a complete slow discharge and recharge after each day of flying. Note: AMT Netherlands recommends to cycle, discharge / charge, the new nicad battery at least 5 times before useing them, to get maximum capacity available...

    HP E- ANUAL LYMPUS START AMT N ETHERLANDS Page 8. Maintenance Revision: 2.08 Returning motor for service or repair If you need to return your motor to AMT NL for service or repair please only send the following items, unless other accessories or parts need checking or repair. Please do not send any unnecessary items back to us with the motor, as this will only increase the size and weight of the parcel, which may increase costs.

  • Page 63: Looking After Your Gasturbine

    You should occasionally check the RPM sensor to make sure that it is not touching the compressor wheel. On a Olympus HP the clearance should be about 0.25 - 0.30 mm. If you replace the RPM sensor because of damage, please follow the instructions we provide with the new sensor, and do not use any loctite or glue on the small M2 bolts that hold the sensor mounting block to the inlet.

  • Page 65: How To Complete The Log

    Completing the log correctly is of great importance for the optimal use of the Olympus Hp and HP ES. It does not only give you information about your flight hours with the Olympus HP, but can later also be useful for maintenance, fault finding, guarantee, or sale to a third party, etc.

  • Page 67: Warranty Conditions

    The Warranty does not apply to insufficient maintenance, overloading, natural wastage in case of sale to third-parties and other causes beyond the control of AMT, this within the discretion of AMT Netherlands. 10.2 Completing the warranty card The Warranty card should be completed by the buyer of the turbine, and should be sent by the buyer to AMT within two weeks of receipt.
