Introduction

The operating system ECOS is a new streamlined interface for monochrome-display radios. It inherits the logic of the ETHOS operating system, making it simple to learn and fast to operate.

If you have any questions about the V5 transmitter and its operation, please contact the technical and service staff at KAVAN Europe s.r.o. by e-mail (info@kavanrc.com for general technical information, service@kavanrc.com for service) or by phone (+420 466 260 133 for general technical information, +420 463 358 700 for service), during working hours 8 am–4 pm CET, Monday to Friday).

Main View

This is the default screen during operation or idling. It displays the model name, trim values, current channel output values and the remaining radio battery charge.

Model settings

Model Select

This menu contains 32 slots for storing your models. Each model has a unique ID (01–32) and a custom name. The active model is marked by a star symbol.

Use UP and DOWN buttons to navigate through the model slots.

Press ENTER button to open the slot's options.

Press BACK button to return to the first model, and press it a second time to return to MODEL SETTINGS.

Selecting a free slot:

  • Create model. When creating a new model, you have AirSoccer, Airplane, Glider, Heli, Multi and Other presets to choose from, each containing a general channel layout. Glider further contains Normal and V-tail configurations. Airplane presets are Normal, Delta and V-tail.

Selecting a non-active model slot:

  • Select model to make it active.
  • Clone this model. It creates a new model in the next free slot.
  • Move up or Move down the model in the list (swapping the IDs with the above or below model).

Create model

When creating a new model, use UP and DOWN buttons to navigate through name option and pre-assigned channels.

When choosing a new name, use ENTER button to list through the character slots. Select a new character by listing through the available set with UP and DOWN buttons. You can select the uppercase (A–Z) and lowercase (a–z) alphabet, numbers 0–9 and special characters space and hyphen. After the name is put in, press the BACK button to return to the list.

Each pre-set channel can be later re-assigned to another control function in the Edit model option.

Select Create model on the bottom of the screen by pressing ENTER to confirm the model creation.

Edit Model

This menu is used to edit the chosen model name and timers, register and bind up to 3 receivers for Redundancy connection.

Model name

You can rename the selected model.

When choosing a new name, use ENTER button to list through the character slots. Select a new character by listing through the available set with UP and DOWN buttons. You can select the uppercase (A–Z) and lowercase (a–z) alphabet, numbers 0–9 and special characters space and hyphen. After the name is put in, press the BACK button to return to the list.

Timer 1

Timer options are collapsed by default (symbol ">" at the end of the line). Expand the timer settings by pressing the ENTER button. Use UP and DOWN buttons to list through the values of each parameter, and press ENTER button to list through the character slots in the timer string setting.

  • Timer can be turned ON or OFF
  • Mode can work in a stopwatch (UP) or countdown (DOWN) mode.
  • Alarm sets the time period after which you are notified by a beep alert.
  • Start condition sets the switch position that starts the timer.
    • Always on - the timer is running continuously.
    • SA Up - the timer runs when the SA is in the Up position.
    • ! SA Up - the timer runs when the SA is not in the Up position.
    • SA – - the timer runs when the the SA is in the Centre position.
    • ! SA – - the timer runs when the the SA is not in the Centre position.
    • SA Dn- the timer runs when the SA is in the Down position.
    • ! SA Dn - the timer runs when the SA is not in the Down position.
    • SB Up - the timer runs when the SB is in the Up position.
    • ! SB Up - the timer runs when the SB is not in the Up position.
    • SB Dn- the timer runs when the SB is in the Down position.
    • ! SB Dn - the timer runs when the SB is not in the Down position.
    • SC Up - the timer runs when the SC is in the Up position.
    • ! SC Up - the timer runs when the SC is not in the Up position.
    • SC Dn- the timer runs when the SC is in the Down position.
    • ! SC Dn - the timer runs when the SC is not in the Down position.
  • Reset - resets the timer to the set value (if in Down mode) or to zero (if in Up mode). It uses the same logic of assigning switches as active condition.

Timer 2

The second available timer, which works just as timer 1. You can set both timers for different conditions.

Internal RF

  • Mode selects the the mode regarding to the protocol of your receiver
    • OFF - the radio transmission is turned off.
    • ACCESS - the radio is in the ACCESS transmission protocol mode
    • ACCST D16 - the radio is in the ACCST D16 transmission protocol mode
    • HFSPEED - TBD
  • Ch. Range sets the maximum channel range
    • CH1–8 - Available in all modes. Allows you to activate the Racing mode.
      • Racing mode offers superior latency (~ 4 ms), but works only with digital servos and with a maximum of 8 channels.
    • CH1–16 - Available in all modes.
    • CH1–24' - Available in ACCESS or HFSPEED modes only.
  • RxNum allows you to define a custom receiver ID (00–63). The naming of the receiver is done automatically when the receiver is paired for the first time. This name can be changed at any time.
  • Failsafe emergency rates are available in 5 modes:
    • None set - the Failsafe emergency mode is turned off.
    • Hold - the receiver maintains the rates as they were before the signal was lost.
    • Custom - the receiver keeps the rate value on all channels as you preselect it. You can choose a mode on each channel separately.
    • No pulses - when the signal is lost, the receiver does not send a control signal to the rates on any channel. To use this type, select it from the menu and wait 9 seconds for the Fail-safe setting change to take effect.
    • Receiver - inherits the Fail-safe settings of your receiver.
  • Module - allows you to register ([Reg]) a new receiver and to check its operational range ([Rng])
  • Options - TBD
