While on the topic, if I have operable front planes, is it advisable to put the ADC on the front planes, on its own and leave the APC on the rear, or have both on the rear planes?
Thanks

The ADC-1 works ok in

The ADC-1 works ok in either configuration, but it was designed to be used primarily with the front planes and with the APC on the rear.

Hello again Dave,

Once again, thanks

Hello again Dave,

Once again, thanks for the quick reply!

I got your instructions but have one last question. The ADC-1 has been sitting around for awhile and the two sets of servo wires were cut. I need to determine which set goes to the receiver and which set goes to the APC-3.

I will discribe what I see...

With the adjustment pot (numbered 0-9) in the upper left corner (as show on the instruction sheet) there is one set of 3 wires (L to R Orange, Red and Brown) along the TOP edge.

The other set of wires (Black, Red and Blue) has two wires attached at the TOP edge and 1 wire on the RIGHT edge.

The black wire is connected to the 1st set's Orange wire, the red is connected to the 1st set's Red wire and the Blue wire is off by it's self on the RIGHT edge of the circuit board.

I hope I explained this right!

Again THANKS!
Mike

Hi Mike,

I'm afraid I can't

Hi Mike,

I'm afraid I can't be 100% sure on this, as it sounds like an earlier version of the ADC-1 which pre-dates my takover of SubTech. I am guessing that the pressure pipe on your version sticks up vertically as opposed to laying down flat as shown on the diagram in the instructions? Also I suspect that the wires have been swapped around or possibly replaced to suit the older Airtronics radios, but here is my best stab at how it should be wired.

Starting from the white pot on the left the first wire should be brown (or black) this being the common wire, the second should be red and the third wire should be orange (or white) this being the 'signal' wire. These three wires should make up the 'Channel' wire or in other words should connect to the Rx.

The other set of wires should be black, red and white with the black connected with the 1st sets brown wire, the red connected with the first sets red wire and the white going to off by its self on the right of the board. This set makes up the 'Servo' wire which should have a female connector to accept the channel (male) connector from the APC.

Hopefully if Skip see's this post he will chip in and confirm this, but I will try to contact him and confirm the above. In the mean time if you can confirm the location of the pressure pipe this will help to narrow it down a bit and there may also be a number, something like 1.04 in black marker pen on the bottom right hand corner, which may also help identify the version.

Hi,
I'm sure what you just

Hi,
I'm sure what you just explained is the correct layout. Two sets of 3 wires...only 1 set has a wire off by it's self.

I'm now pretty sure that the Orange/Brown/Red wires are for the Rx and the other 3 (Black/Red/Blue) are for the servo!

The clincher was the 3rd wire off to one side!

Thanks SO MUCH for your help!

[color=#000000]Hi Dave,

I'm hoping you might be able to confirm the wires for me.

I am about to solder new leads on but the colors don't match what Futabe vs JR should be...

One lead is ... ORANGE / RED / BROWN

the other is ... BLACK / RED / BLUE

Currently, the ORANGE & BLACK wires are connected and the 2 REDs are connected.

My plan is to solder new FUTABA leads on in this way]

Hi,

If anyone has access to the back of their ADC-1, I have made an excel layout of the circuit board and would appreciate any help I can get. I have labeled where my wires are connected and just need confirmation before I remove them and solder new FUTABA wires in.

I can email the excel sheet to anyone who can help…my email is mikem@warwick.net

Thanks,
Mike
