4.
Follow the procedures of your specific transmitter to enter Bind Mode, the system will connect
within a few seconds. Once connected, the LED on the receiver will go solid indicating the system
is connected.
5.
Remove the bind plug from the BIND/DATA port on the receiver before you power off the
transmitter and store it in a convenient place.
6.
After you’ve set up your model, it’s important to rebind the system so the true low throttle and
neutral control surface positions are set.
NOTICE
: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time the
power is turned on.
SmartSafe Failsafe
The AR6210 features SmartSafe failsafe. SmartSafe is ideal for most types of aircraft. With SmartSafe,
when signal is lost the throttle channel only is driven to its preset failsafe position (normally low
throttle) while all other channels hold last command.
• Prevents unintentional electric motor response on startup.
• Eliminates the possibility of over-driving servos on start-up by storing preset failsafe positions.
• Establishes low-throttle failsafe and maintains last-commanded control surface position if the RF
signal is lost.
Receiver Power Only
• When the receiver only is turned on (no transmitter signal is present), the throttle channel has no
output, to avoid operating or arming the electronic speed control.
• All other channels are driven to their preset failsafe positions set during binding.
Note:
Some analog servos may coast slightly even though no signal is present. This is normal.
After Connection
• When the transmitter is turned on and after the receiver connects to the transmitter, normal control
of all channels occurs.
• After the system makes a connection, if loss of signal occurs SmartSafe drives the throttle servo
only to its preset failsafe position (low throttle) that was set during binding.
• All other channels hold their last commanded position. When the signal is regained, the system
immediately (less than 4ms) regains control.
Plugging in the Leads
Plug the servo leads into the appropriate servo ports in the receiver noting the polarity of the
servo connector.
Red LED Hold Indicator
The AR6210 features a red LED that indicates the number of holds that have occurred since the
receiver was last powered on. The LED will flash the number of holds then pause (e.g., flash, flash,
flash, pause, flash, flash, flash, pause indicates three holds occurred since the receiver was last turned
on). Note that holds are reset to zero when the receiver is turned off. During the first flights of a new
airplane, it’s recommended to check the red LED hold indicator. If it’s flashing,
it’s important
to
optimize the installation (move or reposition antennas) until no hold occurs. On later flights, the LED
Hold Indicator can be used to confirm RF link performance.
