Installing a DZMx Plus Control Head
A Flightcell DZMx Plus Control Head is a remotely located control panel for the DZMx Plus,
with a display and keypad. One or two Control Heads may be installed to provide other crew
or mission specialists with full remote control of the DZMx Plus.
Wiring the Control Head
The Control head connects to the DZMx Plus transceiver using the RS485 serial data
connection.
Control Heads require a 12-32VDC power supply. Two additional connections are a ground
connection to the chassis, and a lighting input for external lighting control. Backlighting of the
Control Heads can be configured individually.
Wiring diagrams for the Flightcell DZMx Plus Transceiver and DZMx Plus Control Head are
available on the Flightcell website at
Configuring the DZMx Plus for a Control Head
First, the DZMx Plus needs to be configured to recognise the Control Heads:
1.
Press MENU > Hardware Config > Head B Enable. Select On to enable, or Off to
disable the Control Head.
2.
Press ENTER to save the setting.
Configuring the Control Head
The Control Head now needs to be allocated a head ID so that the DZMx Plus can identify it.
1.
Press and hold the BACK key on the Control Head for 2 seconds, then release. Scroll
down to Advanced press ENTER.
