Binding
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to
recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of
a single specific transmitter. The STX2™ transmitter and
SPMSRX200 receiver are bound at the factory. If you
need to rebind, follow the instructions below:
1. Insert the Bind Plug in the BIND port of the ESC.
2. Connect a fully charged battery to the ESC.
3. Power on the ESC. The red receiver LED flashes,
indicating the receiver is in bind mode.
4. Center the ST TRIM and TH TRIM dials on the
transmitter.
5. Turn the Steering Wheel to Full Right. Power ON
the transmitter while holding the Steering Wheel
to the Right.
6. Release the Steering Wheel when the receiver
LED goes solid.
7. Remove the Bind Plug and store it in a convenient
place.
8. Power OFF the ESC to save the settings.
9. Power OFF the transmitter.
You must rebind when:
• When you want different failsafe positions
(e.g. when throttle or steering reverse has
been changed).
• Binding the receiver to a different transmitter.
NOTICE:
Do not attempt to bind the transmitter and
receiver if there are other compatible transmitters in
bind mode within 400 feet. Doing so may result in
unexpected binding.
Throttle Range Calibration
1. Power on the transmitter and set the
TH TRIM
dial to the center position and the
TH RATE
to full
clockwise position.
2. Install the battery in the boat and connect it to the
ESC.
3. With the ESC powered OFF, pull the throttle trigger
to FULL throttle and press the power button on the
ESC simultaneously. The ESC will beep twice. The
green light will flash with each beep.
4. Return the throttle to neutral. The ESC will beep
once and the green light will flash once.
The calibration process is now complete. The ESC will
arm with beeps and flashes to announce the number
of battery cells it has detected. Reverse calibration is
unnecessary.
General Information
Failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio connection is lost
during use, the receiver will drive the servo and ESC
to their pre-programmed failsafe positions (normally no
throttle and straight steering).
If the receiver is powered on before powering on the
transmitter, the receiver will enter this failsafe mode.
When the transmitter is powered on, normal control is
resumed.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
IMPORTANT:
The ESC must be in LiPo mode to safely
operate the boat under LiPo power. Please refer to the
ESC manual for more information.
Discharging a LiPo battery below 3V per cell may damage
your battery. The included ESC protects the boat battery
from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC).
Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC
removes power supplied to the motor. Power to the
motor decreases, showing some power is reserved for
the boat to return safely to shore.
Disconnect and remove the LiPo battery from the boat
after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your LiPo
battery to about half capacity before storage. During
storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall
below 3V per cell. LVC does not prevent the battery from
over-discharge during storage.
NOTICE:
Repeated operation after LVC is activated will
damage the battery.
Tip:
Monitor your boat battery’s voltage before and
after boating by using a LiPo Cell Voltage Checker
(DYN4071, sold separately).
