“Binding” transmitter and receiver
Note: The mx-10 HoTT can be bound in the mode „nor-
mal“ only. Make sure before you start the binding pro-
cess, that the transmitter is programmed in this mode.
See page 88 for mode setting.
Turn the transmitter ON and then power up your recei-
ver: At the receiver, the green LED flashes once briefly,
and then goes out.
The LED on the transmitter lights up green to show that
no bound receiver is connected.
Press and hold the
SET button on the receiver until the
green LED starts to flash.
Briefly press the
BIND- button of the transmitter to initiate
the so-called binding process.
If the receiver LED glows a constant green within about
ten seconds, then the binding process has been com-
pleted successfully; you can now release the receiver’s
SET button.
Your model / receiver combination is now ready for use.
In parallel with this the Status-LED switches from green
to orange:
Conversely, if the green LED on the receiver fl ashes
for longer than about ten seconds or the transmitters
Status-LED remains green, then the binding process
has failed. If this should occur, alter the relative position
of the aerials, and repeat the whole procedure.
range test
The integral range-check reduces the transmitter’s out-
put power in such a way that you can test the system’s
operation at a distance of up to about fi fty metres.
Carry out the range-check of the
Graupner HoTT sys-
tem in accordance with the following instructions. We
recommend that you ask a friend to help with range-
checking.
Install the receiver in the model as required, preferab- 1.
ly after completing the binding process with the trans-
mitter.
Switch the radio control system on and wait until the
2.
green LED on the receiver glows. Now you can obser-
ve the servo movements.
Place the model on a fl at surface (paving, close-mown
3.
grass or earth), with the receiver aerials at least
15 cm above the ground. This means that you may
have to place the model on a raised object for the pe-
riod of the check.
Hold the transmitter at hip-height, and away from your
4.
body. However, do not point the aerial straight at the
model; instead rotate and / or angle the tip of the aeri-
al so that it is vertical while you carry out the check.
Make sure that the transmitter in the „normal“ mode
5.
- mode switch to the rear. Now press the BIND-but-
ton for about 5 s, until the transmitter starts to beep
permanently. Disengage the BIND-button again.
Note
when using multiple receivers for each model: the
range test only works with the receiver which trans-
mits the telemetry signal - that is the last bound re-
ceiver.
When you start the range-check, the transmitter’s
6.
output power is signifi cantly reduced, at the same
time a permament beep sounds. When the 99 se-
conds of the range-check period have elapsed, the
transmitter switches back to full power, and the beep
sound stops.
Note: you can stop the range test at
any time by pressing again the BIND button.
Within this period walk away from the model, moving
7.
the sticks all the while. If at any point within a distance
of about fi fty metres you notice a break in the connec-
tion, attempt to reproduce it.
If the model is fi tted with a motor, switch it on in order
8.
to check the system’s interference rejection.
Walk further away from the model until you no longer
9.
have full control over it.
At this point wait until the test period has elapsed, with
10.
the model still switched on and ready for use. When
the range-check period is over, the model should re-
spond again to control commands. It this is not 100%
the case, do not use the system. Contact your nearest
Service Centre of
Graupner GmbH & Co. KG.
Carry out the range-check before every fl ight, and si- 11.
mulate all the servo movements which are likely to oc-
cur in a typical fl ight. To ensure safe operation of the
model, the range must always be at least fi fty metres
on the ground.
Caution:
Never initiate a range-check when you are actually
operating a model!
