Mounting
Hitec AFHSS 2.4GHz Technology
Equipment Mounting
When you mount each servo, use the supplied rubber grommets and insert an
eyelet up through the bottom. Be sure not to over tighten the screws.
If any portion of the servo case directly contacts the fuselage or the servo rails,
the rubber grommets will not be able to attenuate vibration, which can lead to
mechanical wear and possible servo failure.
Servo Throw
Factory Repair Service Information
Once you have installed the servos, operate each one over its full travel and
check that the pushrod and output arms do not bind or collide with each other,
even at extreme trim settings.
Check to see that each control linkage does not require undue force to move
(if you hear a servo buzzing when there is no transmitter control motion,
most likely there is too much friction in the control or pushrod).
Even though the servo will tolerate loads like this, they will drain the battery pack
much more rapidly
Please read the warranty card supplied with your system and return it. Before you decide to have your system repaired, if there is no apparent
physical damage, read this instruction manual again and check to be sure that you are operating the system as it was designed to be operated.
If you are still having trouble, pack up your system in its original shipping materials and send it to the nearest authorized Hitec R/C Service Center.
Be sure to include a note in your package that describes the trouble in as much detail as possible, including: " Symptoms of the problem in as
much detail as you can provide, including any unusual mounting conditions or equipment orientation " A list of items you are sending, and what
you want to be repaired. " Your name, address, and telephone number.
Vibration and Water
The receiver contains precision electronic parts. Be sure to avoid vibration, shock, and temperature extremes.
For protection, wrap the receiver in the provided "Flight Preserver" foam rubber, or use some other vibration-absorbing materials.
If your flying near bodies of water, it's also a good idea to protect the receiver by placing it in a plastic bag and securing the open end of the bag
with a rubber band before wrapping it with foam. If you accidentally get moisture inside the receiver, you may experience intermittent operation
or a crash.
Switch Harness Installation
When you are ready to install the receiver's switch harness, remove the switch cover and use it as a template to cut screw holes and a
rectangular hole slightly larger than the full stroke of the switch.
Choose a switch location on the opposite side of the fuselage from the engine exhaust, and choose a location where it can't be inadvertently
turned on or off during handling or storage. Install the switch so that it moves without restriction and "snaps" from ON to OFF and vice versa.
You may run the antenna inside of a non-metallic housing within the fuselage (a plastic outer pushrod housing works well for this), but range may
suffer if the antenna is located near metal pushrods or cables. Be sure to perform a range check before flying. With the 2.4GHz radio system,
the range check method is different from the conventional frequency radio system.
*Detailed range check mothod can be found in page XX. During the range check period, you should be able to walk away at least 75 feet from
the model without losing control or seeing "jitter" in the servos. The range check should be done with the motor running and the model should be
securely restrained in case of loss of control.
Secure the BODA antenna to the 2.4 Antenna Holder (part#xxxxx) and
attach to the inside/outside of fuseslarge or boomtail of an aircraft.
BODA Antenna Installation
Never cut the antenna, such behavior will seriously reduce
the reception range.
Never pinch or bend the antenna, such behavior will cause
serious damage on the antenna.
Changing the length of the antenna reduces range.
