Expanded receiver programming mode

The expanded programming mode enables the user to
alter various receiver characteristics and parameters.
Always read the instructions supplied with your par-
ticular XR receiver before making any changes of this
type! If necessary you can also fi nd information on this
subject in the Download area of our website at www.
graupner.de.

Important note:
For the procedure described in the following section
it is ESSENTIAL to switch off every transmitter with
a Graupner | iFS RF module to which the associated
Graupner | iFS receiver has already been “bound”,
before you switch the receiver on.

To enter expanded programming mode, fi rst switch the
receiver on and wait until the Status LED

fl ashes red

a moderate rhythm. Now use a blunt instrument – such
as a 1.5 mm allen key – to hold the programming button
on the receiver pressed in while the Status LED fi rst
goes out, then lights

green

, and fi nally glows a constant

red

(the process takes about seven seconds). Now

release the button.

As soon as the receiver is in expanded programming
mode, the Status LED glows a

constant red

, as you

are now automatically located at the fi rst set-up option
(see table below). The remaining set-up options can be
selected in sequence with brief presses on the program-
ming button. The display of the Status LED changes in
accordance with the following table:

Option 1: Assigning the control channels to the

receiver outputs

(value range: 1 … max. number of receiver channels)

Note:
The Graupner | iFS receiver includes the option to assign
the control channels to any receiver outputs you like.
However, when using the receiver in conjunction with the

-16iFS transmitter, we recommend that you leave the

assignment at the 1 : 1 default setting, and if necessary
make use of the “receiv out” option in the »

base set.

press and hold the programming button until the LED
goes out.
The LED now fl ashes

repeatedly, the number of

fl ashes corresponding to the number of servo sockets,
followed by a one-second pause. After fi rst selecting this
set-up option (channel 1) the Status LED also fl ashes
once, followed by a one-second pause.

Every brief press on the programming button cycles
through to the next servo output: this begins with 1 (1
x fl ash) and ends with the number of channels of your
receiver (“8” for an eight-channel receiver, ”10” for a ten-
channel receiver, etc.).
To assign a different channel to the selected receiver
output, press and hold the programming button until
the Status LED goes out. The LED now

fl ashes green

repeatedly, the number of fl ashes corresponding to the
number of the currently assigned channel.
When the Status LED has indicated the current assign-
ment by

fl ashing green

, you have a period of fi ve sec-

onds to enter a new assignment; this is accomplished by
briefl y pressing the programming button the appropriate
number of times.

Note:
For the control channel you can enter values within the
range 1 to 16, even if the receiver features fewer servo
sockets. For example, if you wish to use the

-16iFS

with a six-channel receiver, it is possible to assign con-
trol channel 7 or 8 to any of the otherwise unoccupied
outputs 1 … 6.

If you do not press the programming button within the
fi ve-second period, or if the value you enter is higher
than permissible, the LED

fl ashes alternately red and

green

(error indicator), and a new assignment is not

carried out. You are then returned to the channel select
point for the assignment process.
However, if a new assignment takes place successfully,
the LED

in rapid sequence,

in order to indicate that the change has been imple-
mented.
