The following systems are connected to inputs RX1 and RX4 using the
three-core patch-leads supplied in the set:
• Futaba S-BUS:
Set the receiver or receivers to “Normal Mode” - not “High-Speed
Mode”.
If you are using the R7008SB receiver it is particularly important to set
Output 8 to S-Bus, and to use this output. Do not use the S-Bus2 output!
Naturally the receiver’s S-Bus2 socket can be used for Futaba telemetry
accessories.
• Multiplex M-Link:
The MPX receiver or receivers must be set to “Digital Output”. This can
be selected using the Pro - Mate device or a USB adapter (Multiplex or
PowerBox USB interface ) and a PC. The software required for this is
called “Multiplex Launcher”, and is available as a free download from the
Multiplex website. You should also set the fail-safe time to 0s; this is
important if you wish to use two receivers, as it ensures a fast
switch-over if signal loss occurs. Turn off the telemetry on one receiver.
• SJ HoTT:
If you wish to use a HoTT receiving system, the SUMD signal must be
activated at the receiver. Use the SmartBox or the transmitter’s
Telemetry menu to set
“CH OUT TYPE: SUMD OF 16” .
“OF” means that the receiver switches the SUMD signal off if signal loss
occurs. The SRS system detects this within a few milliseconds, and
switches over to the second receiver. If you intend to use only one
receiver, you can also set
FS or HD .
• Jeti Duplex PPM:
Connect two R-Sat2 satellites directly to RX1 and RX4 . One satellite is
operated as “Clone”, the other as “Normal”. The following settings have
proved effective in practice:
- Output Mode: Computed
- Signal Fault: off
- Signal Fault Delay: 0.5s
- Output period: 24ms (if you are using 12 to 16 channels, set this to 28ms)
- PPM 8, 9, 12, 16 according to your transmitter / transmitter module
