Connect a receiver
You can use the FBL-3X on your Revolution 500E with these receiver types:
Standard-receiver, SingleLine, Serial Receiver, Futaba S-Bus, Multiplex SRXL, act SX and SPEKTRUM satellites.
·
Serial Signal, SingleLine, Futaba S-Bus, Multiplex SRXL, act SX
To connect these receivers use the delivered patch
wire and connect it to the place “INPUT“
·
Spektrum Satellites
You can connect one or two Spektrum DSM2 or DSMX satellite receivers to the 9-pin plug connector at the front
side of FBL-3X. Make sure that the plugs are connected at the far right and the far left side! Some pins in the mid-
dle will remain empty. If you only use one satellite you can chose freely between the far right or far left side.
Attention: Spektrum satellites must be bound to the transmitter before they can be used. Please pay attention to
the point: Programm and Bind Receiver - Spektrum DSM2
Warning: To avoid interferences, we highly recommend the use of two satellites!
·
Standard Receiver
A standard receiver is connected through the included adapter cable and the patch cable. It does not matter
which plug of the adapter is plugged into which channel. The channel assignment is always done in the FBL-3X
menu. Of course, this may only be receiver outputs, which also have a relevant function for FBL-3X. In general this
is pitch, yaw, aileron, elevation and the tail gain.
Programm and Bind Receiver
Choose the main menu RECEIVER ASSIGNMENTS and then by pressing right the sub menu: RX TYPE. Choose the used
receiver type.
IMPORTANT: After choosing the receiver type, go back to the main menu by pressing left and safe the changes. Shut
the helicopter down and start it again.

Spetkrum DSM2/DSMX:
Use this value if you have connected one or two Spektrum satellite receivers. For this type of receiver the input
channels of FBL-3X are assigned to functions automatically according the standard of Spektrum. Only if the as-
signment is incorrect, you have to assign the FBL-3X channels to their functions as described further below.
Spektrum satellites must be bound to the transmitter before use:
After choosing Spektrum DSM2/DSMX in the receiver menu, press right to enter the BIND menu. Start binding by
pressing down. You will see CONNECT RECEIVER. If you allready have connected the satellites, dissconnect them
now and plug them in again. The satellites start to flash to show, that they are ready for binding. Bind the satel-
lites according to the transmitters manual. If the binding process was succesfull, the satellites will show a steady
light.
Note: FBL-3X can only set-up the receiver in binding mode. The binding itself is a process between transmitter
and receiver. You can instead connect the satellite to a standard receiver and do the binding process this way.
Once transmitter and receiver are bound, the operation with FBL-3X is possible.
