CSM Revlock 20 Engine Governor/Limiter
CSM RevLock 20 Governor
New improved performance: better anti-hunt capability
Limiter and Governor modes: pre-set one mode to Limiter using the PC interface, then switch in flight
Adjustable via PC Interface: adjust the minimum and maximum control point, Integral Gain, and manual-mode responsivity with your existing CSM interface
Governor and Limiter modes:
Due to popular demand, the RL20 can function either as a governor (adjusting for both over- and under-revving) or as a limiter (setting a maximum RPM). Please note this feature is accessible only through the PC Interface. Although you can switch between pre-set modes in flight, you can only pre-set the Limiter mode by using the PC interface and software.
- Visual RPM display - no need to buy a tacho
- Adjustable responsivity

Compatibility and Installation
The RevLock works by sensing the motion of a magnet attached to the engine fan and comparing this with a digital reference or \'virtual engine\' moving at the correct speed - giving the quickest response to any RPM error. The magnet is easily installed by gluing it into a hole drilled in the engine fan - many engine fans now come pre-drilled for this purpose. The magnet can be installed either way around, so there is no need to test for polarity. The RevLock Sensor is then mounted beside the engine on the brackets supplied.
Servo: The RevLock can be used with any servo with a speed of 0.19s per 60 degrees or faster (most standard servos) and can be set to work with either digital or conventional servos.
Radio: It may be used with either PPM or PCM radios. An auxiliary channel is required if you wish to use \'remote\' mode (adjusting RPM and responsivity from the transmitter). However it may still be used in manual mode.
