Default Jet Central Sequencer help

My Jet Central sequencer cycles the gear every time the radio is turned on. It controls Xicoy valves for gear and doors. Doesn't matter whether gear was up or down when turned off. I cant figure out how to get it to stop. Help please

This may or may not help since it is Xicoy. I had a Jetronics valve doing the same. The fix was to reverse up and down air lines and to reprogram valve. No more problems after that.

Hello tp777fo
Tell me what radio do you have so I can try to duplicate it here

Usually, all I have every had to do was rebind the Rxer to the Transmitter with the gear down. When you turn on the power to the Rxer there is a moment when the Rxer is not bound. If you have the wrong failsafe set, then the gear activates. If you are doing your failsafe in a powerbox, then you may have to reset the failsafe in the PBox.

Hi Juan,

Jeti DS 16 with 2x Rex 3. Cortex Pro gyro. The gear and door valves are Xicoy. Thanks for your help, hope all is well with you. Happy New Year

Juan. Actually the gear is on a Jettronics hi flow valve. Doors are on Xicoy.

That is a solid theory. When I've had this occur in the past I had to do what Custmachr mentions and swap my air lines out of the valves themselves (also with Jet Tronics valves). On my planes with Xicoy valves and Xicoy sequencer I haven't run into this issue, but that may be more dumb luck than actual setup.

Problem solved. I removed the Jettronics hi flow valve and replaced it with a Xicoy valve. The gear no longer cycles when the radio is turned on.
