PECIAL

EATURES

High-quality 5-channel / 7-channel receivers assembled

using the latest SMT methods, exploiting MULTIPLEX
2.4 GHz M-LINK technology.

Supplementary signal pre-amplification:

For maximum sensitivity and great range.

In-line connectors arranged on the front and back:

Ultra-compact dimensions: suitable for models with very little
internal space.

HOLD / FAIL-SAFE function.

Integral SET button and LED:

For binding, FAIL-SAFE programming, RESET and
displaying operating status information.

Telemetry / feedback channel capability:

Receiver battery voltage and connection quality
= standard features.
Integral sensor interface for connecting external sensor
modules via MSB (MULTIPLEX Sensor Bus).

Prepared for two-receiver operation:

Diversity lead (

# 8 5070

) required.

Prepared for serial servo output:

Servo outputs as sum signal – SRXL-MULTIPLEX.
The receiver’s first twelve channels are carried by a three-
cord lead (

# 8 5070

) via the receiver’s B/D socket, e.g. for

power supply / servo management systems, or for flybarless
systems in model helicopters.

Prepared for selecting one sensor address as “priority

address”:
The selected sensor value is updated at a faster rate than all
the other sensor values.

Integral error counter / data logger:

For voltage and signal errors.

Compatible with the

MULTImate

MULTIPLEX

Launcher

PC program in conjunction with the UNI USB PC

PPLICATIONS

The

RX-5 M-LINK

and

RX-7 M-LINK

2.4 GHz receivers (abbre-

viated to

RX-5/7 M-LINK

in this document) are radio control

receivers intended exclusively for use in model sport. It is
prohibited to employ them for other purposes such as full-size
(people-carrying) vehicles or industrial installations.

Typical applications for

RX-5 M-LINK

and

RX-7 M-LINK

re-

ceivers

Gliders and electric gliders up to about 2.50 m wingspan

Small to medium-sized RC helicopters with rotor diameters

up to about 1 m

Model aircraft with electric and I.C. power systems and

wingspans up to about 1.60 m
