b. Binding using the PreSet Fail-Safe system
In this variant the positions set during the binding procedure are passed to the
receiver and subsequently passed on to the servos if a fail-safe event should occur:
- Check that the
PowerBox Evolution Spektrum
is switched off, then insert the
Bind plug into it.
- Switch the
PowerBox Evolution Spektrum
on: all three satellites should now
flash at a high rate.
-
Disconnect the Bind plug.
- Move all the transmitter sticks and switches to your preferred fail-safe positions.
- Hold the transmitter’s Bind button pressed in while you switch the transmitter on.
- Continue to hold the button pressed in until the LEDs on all the satellites glow
constantly.
Check all the fail-safe servo positions by switching the transmitter off: all the servos
should now run to the previously programmed positions.
f) Range-checking
We recommend carrying out a range-check before every day’s flying session, and
before flying any new model. When 35 MHz systems were in use it was easy to
detect a broken aerial or similar damage, but this is not always obvious with 2.4
GHz equipment. The range-check is carried out by holding the Bind button of your
Spektrum transmitter pressed in while you walk away from the model holding the
transmitter. All the control surfaces must operate correctly at a range of at least
25m.
NOTE:
if you find after a flight that the LEDs on one or more satellites are flashing,
this indicates either low voltage or the brief failure of a cable connection. If this
should happen, read out the FlightLog data and check the lead to the satellite
concerned
