ELEMETRY AND 

S

ETTINGS 

 

The device is compatible with JETIBOX for programming. The JETIBOX menu is divided into four sections: 

 

Actual  values

  –  displays  the  latest  telemetry  values  (gyro  rate,  acceleration,  attitude,  voltage,  temperature, 

system status) together with minimums and maximums. 

o

 

Attitude R/P/Y

  - shows the current device orientation – roll, pitch and yaw.  

o

 

Acc <Cal> X.XG

 – displays the acceleration measured on each axis. Total acceleration (sum of all values) 

is  shown  on  the  right.  By  pressing  the 

Left+Right 

buttons  together  you  can  start  the  accelerometer 

calibration  procedure.  Place  the  device  on  one  side  and  do  not  move  until  the  counter  of  remaining 
positions decreases by one. Rotate the device on another side and repeat. Six positions must be learned to 
calibrate the accelerometer correctly. 

o

 

Gyro

 – displays current gyro rates for roll, pitch and yaw. 

o

 

System

  –  shows  the  detected  serial  protocol  and  the  average  frame  rate  of  each  receiver.  The  active 

receiver is marked by 

R1

 or 

R2

o

 

Fadeouts/FS

 – number of frame misses and time spent in fail-safe mode. The number of frame misses is 

increased every time the interval between two consecutive servo frames noticeably exceeds the average 
period. 

o

 

Reset Min/Max

 - press 

Left+Right

 buttons together to reset all minimums and maximums. 

 

Settings

 – basic settings of the sensor 

o

 

Language

 – you can choose the language of the JETIBOX screen. 

o

 

Period 

– you can specify a fixed servo output rate (5ms – 30ms), or automatic output rate synchronous to 

the serial input. This setting also influences the S.Bus and SRXL output periods. 

o

 

Device mode 

– specify a function of the extension ports: 

 

Ch1-Ch5: Servo 

– all extension ports are configured as servo outputs. 

 

Ch5: Sensor EX

  –  ports  1-4  are  configured  as  servo  outputs  while  the  port  5  acts  as  a  sensor 

expander (Duplex EX, EX Bus). Alternatively you can connect Hott SMART-BOX for setting in case 
of SUMD. 

 

Ch1, 2, 3, 5: Bus

 – all extension ports are configured to the bus output (same as Rx1/Rx2 inputs), 

so  that  you  can  simply  connect  up  to  four  bus-compatible  devices  to  the  EX5.  This  mode  is 
compatible with Duplex, SUMD and S.Bus receivers.  

o

 

Fail-Safe Delay 

– set the time period that must elapse before entering the fail-safe mode if there is  no 

signal on the serial line. 

o

 

Ch.1-Ch.5

 – here you can set the properties of each output channel. You can modify the receiver channel 

assignment to the outputs of the EX5. By pressing both 

Left+Right

 buttons you can change the behavior if 

there is no signal on the serial line:   

 

<Hold> (default) – repeat the last known servo position. 

 

<FS XX> - set the servo position to a fixed value 

XX%

.  

o

 

Set Fail-Safe

 

Now

 - by pressing both 

Left+Right

 buttons the actual servo positions will be stored as fail-

safe values. 

 

Stabilization

 – Flight stabilization related settings. 

o

 

Attitude

: XXX – here you can verify the correct orientation of the EX5 in the model. In case the orientation 

does not match, please perform the necessary steps according to the chapter “Attitude detection”. 

o

 

Stabi channels 

– the current values of stabilization channels are shown. You can calibrate the schannels 

according to the chapter “Stabilization Channels”. 

o

 

Stabi mode 

– you can specify the flight mode type (Manual, Acro, Horizon) as well as flight mode switch. 

Please refer to the chapter “Stabilization Modes and Channel Switch” for more details. 

o

 

Gain/Heading

 – stabilization parameters for each flight axis. 

o

 

Reset Stabilization 

– rests the configuration entered in the Stabilization menu. 

 

Service

 – In this menu you can view the device version and reset it to the default factory configuration.
