First Steps

To configure and operate the Joystick 16CH, first of all, read the JETI user manual for the transmitter Duplex DC-16 II.

Danger

The power supply connection of the Joystick 16CH differs from the one specified in the JETI user manual. Only the CAN Joystick Harness can be used for this function.

The Joystick 16CH can be used indepently, since it has a small integrated antenna to transmit command signals to the aircraft. Nonetheless, it is recommended to be used with the Veronte system to extend the signal range. The system is composed of the following elements:

Warnings

  • Only use the CAN Joystick Harness to power the Joystick 16CH, do not use the JETI power supply connection.

  • Connect CAN Joystick Harness exclusively to Veronte PCS. Any other type of connection may cause damage to the equipment, resulting in loss of warranty.

  • Joystick 16CH should be operated only with original or manufacturer approved battery packs. The use of other battery packs will void the warrant.

  • Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, it is important to perform a range check.

    Do not shield and avoid contact of the transmitter antenna with your body. This might increase likelihood of range problem.

  • Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by Embention could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

    Except for the Veronte system explained in the First Steps and Hardware Installation sections of this manual.

Requirements

A control station is required to receive the CAN bus signals from Joystick 16 CH and send to the aircraft. For example, a Veronte PCS can be employed with a Veronte T28 and a Veronte Datalink Kit.

To control an aircarft with the Joystick 16CH, a vehicle controller is required to receive the signal and command the actuators, such as the Veronte Autopilot 1x or the Veronte Autopilot 4x.
