SwitchGlo Pro instruction
under construction
1. Locate a place on craft to fasten
SwitchGlo.
2. Use any of the three Triggering
options:
- Dedicate a channel on your receiver and connect
receiver cable.
- Use Y harness and built-in servo reverser (SIP
3) to share with another device
- No channel available? Install optional
Pushbutton add-on. (sold separately)
3. Assign a switch on your TX to the
SwitchGlo RX channel
4. Secure ground cable (black) to the engine ground
5. Connect glow plug cable (red) to the glow plug.

SwitchGlo Operation
Trigger SwitchGlo, when you hear the audible alert, your glow plug is glowing.
SwitchGlo can be switched ON/OFF at will. If
you forget to flip the switch back, SwitchGlo has a built in safeguard to
automatically shut off in 15 seconds. You can then re-ignite the glow plug by
re-cycling your switch.
Craft lost?
Flip transmitter switch to activate the
audible alert and find your craft.

A Simple Method of Programming 12Z/14MZ/12FG
Assign Aux 1 to Ch 12 under Function and assign Switch F to control it. Separate
AFR settings for Ch 12. Aux 1 (Single instead of Group)for each mode, i.e.,
Normal, ID1, ID2, & TH. In Idle Up conditions, set AFR rates to 0% & the Offset
to 100%. Use Servo Monitor to check direction of offset on Ch 12, if direction
is opposite, reverse AFR offsets to -100%
12Z radio program mix with HOT START
prevention:
"By using two programmable mixes (both mixing throttle to Aux 1) linked to
switch F, one on in one position of the switch & the other in the other
position, and using a "Line" curve for the on position, you can adjust the
off/on position of the SwitchGlo by moving two points on the mixing Line curve.
I set mine up to allow the SwitchGlo to be activated at 5% throttle or less. For
throttle positions -90% and less (less than 5% overall throttle), set the rate
to -100%. I then used a point at -89.5% that was set to a rate of +100%. At any
throttle settings greater than -89.5%, the rate of +100% effectively disables
the SwitchGlo from activation. For the "off" position of switch F, use the
"Linear" curve, set the rates to 0% and the offset to 100%. This effectively
shuts the SwitchGlo off when switch F is in the off position. The only other
thing that I had to do was set the end point limits on Aux 1 to 100% because
under certain conditions the servo monitor indicated that Aux 1 went to 135%.
I'm still not certain why. It works great & it's now impossible to hot start."
