Abstract
An RF module for a radio control transmitter capable of detecting detaching of the RF module from a transmitter body while keeping the transmitter body turned on. The RF module includes a monitor circuit, which judges whether or not a modulation signal is outputted from the transmitter body within 1 second after the RF module is turned on and further judges, when it is judged that the modulation signal has been fed within 1 second, whether the modulation signal is a PCM signal or a PPM signal. When it is a PCM signal, an RV output is rendered "on"; whereas when it is a PPM signal, the RF output is rendered "off".
Claims2
An RF module for a radio control transmitter including a transmitter body, a control element for controlling a controlled unit and an encoder for feeding an encode signal to the RF module depending on said control element which is detachably mounted on said transmitter body, said RF module comprising:
- a monitor circuit internally arranged;
- said monitor circuit, when said RF module is constructed so that a carrier modulated by said encode signal is generated according to a PLL mode, monitoring whether said encode signal is fed from said encoder within a predetermined period of time after turning-on of said RF module.
