23 Using the transmitter for the fi rst time
Setting the output power stage
(value range: 1 … 5)
With the LED glowing a constant red , hold the program-
ming button pressed in until the LED goes out. The LED
now
fl ashes green slowly to indicate the currently set
power output: 1 x fl ash for stage 1, … 5 x fl ash for stage
5. At the end of the fl ashing sequence you can set a
new value within a period of fi ve seconds.
To change the output power, press the programming
button briefl y a specifi c number of times, i. e. corre-
sponding to the output power stage: one press for stage
1, … fi ve presses for stage 5. As an example: if you wish
to set the output power to the lowest value, you must
press the programming button once briefl y; if you wish
to set output stage “3”, press the button three times in
rapid succession. Every button-press is confi rmed by the
LED glowing
red briefl y.
If you do not press the programming button within fi ve
seconds, or if you enter an invalid value, the LED briefl y
fl ashes alternately
red / green (error indicator); in this
case the set value is not altered. Once you have suc-
cessfully set a new “value”, the LED confi rms this by
fl ashing
green / red / orange in rapid succession. In
either case this procedure takes you back to the start of
the expanded programming mode, where you can select
the set-up options.
The power output stages stated in the table below
MUST be observed, to ensure that the system fulfi ls the
legal requirements of the country concerned:
Country Approved power settings
North America and
Australia Hopping mode 1 … 3
Output stages 1 … 5
Country Approved power settings
Japan and Europe Hopping mode 1:
Output stages 1 … 2
Hopping mode 4 + 5:
Output stages 1 … 5
Note:
The Status LED of Graupner | iFS receivers glows •
green in normal use if the output power is set to a
stage higher than 1, and red if output stage 1 is set.
If you have set Hopping Mode 1 at the transmitter –
•
the default setting is “4” – then the green Status LED
on the transmitter glows constantly, instead of fl ashing
as in modes 2 … 5.
Setting the Hopping Mode (Value range: 1 … 5)
With the LED glowing a constant green , hold the pro-
gramming button pressed in until the LED goes out. The
LED now
fl ashes green slowly to indicate the currently
set Hopping stage. By default this is Hopping Mode 4,
so the LED initially fl ashes green four times.
At the end of the fl ashing sequence you can set a
new value within a period of fi ve seconds. Press the
programming button a specifi c number of times, corre-
sponding to the desired hopping mode. For example, to
set Hopping Mode 3, you would now press the program-
ming button three times.
If you do not press the programming button within fi ve
seconds, or if you enter an invalid value, the LED briefl y
fl ashes alternately
red / green (error indicator); in this
case the set value is not altered. After this you will be
returned to expanded programming mode.
Once you have successfully stored a new “value”, the
LED confi rms this by fl ashing green / red / orange in
rapid succession.
Hopping mode Setting
Predictive, single frequency 1
FCC constant
(USA, twelve channels) 2
FCC adaptive* / constant
(USA, twelve channels) 3
ETSI constant
(Europe, sixteen channels) 4
ETSI adaptive* / constant
(Europe, sixteen channels) 5
* Adaptive mode is currently under development, and the specifi ca-
tion may change.
Unless the iFS system is re-certifi cated in the USA (this
has already occurred in Europe), the frequencies for
the United States of America, and other states which
acknowledge them, are the same as for predictive single
frequency mode.
CAUTION:
The hopping information is transmitted during
the binding process; see below. If you change the
hopping mode or the output stage, you MUST then
re-bind all your receivers.
