Fumotec 490

Hi Calum

I have the Servonaut MFR on the fast setting, so takes only a very limited movement of the stick to make it go slow (and scale) enough to keep control. But there is some play in the whole slewing mechanism.

As for the pump ... The way it is set up in the Commander from Scaleart, you can control the speed of the pump with a separate control which allows you to set the speed of the pump, independent of the mixer which will make the pump go faster depending on the opening of the valves.

I have the pump running at maybe 10-15% of it's capacity at all times so there is no lag when you start opening the valves. Seems to work fine for me, even when operating more than one valve.

How do I change settings on the MFR just move the jumper?
I want to run mixes so the more the valve is opened the faster the pump goes but for some reason I can only get one mix to work?

Hi Calum,

Seems like the MFR is no longer produced by Servonaut ...

There is a small potentio thingy on the MFR that allows you to set the RPM of the motor. If I remember correctly you have to put the jumper on AB and then select the modus that allows you to change the reaction speed of the motor.

I have the German piece of paper with the instructions that came with the MFR, but can't really figure it out anymore.

As for the mixer, might be some limitation in your radio? ... The Commander was preprogrammed for the Damitz excavator. Never really checked how it was set up. All I did was remove the link for the mixer from the slew and track functions. Sorry can't really help you there.

I will look into the MFR and see what I can try. I use a graupner radio and have spaces for lots of mixes curved/linear so I don't know why i cant program it
