Binding
Optional Charge ON/OFF Adaptor Lead
It is necessary to program the receiver to the transmitter so that the
receiver will only recognize that specific transmitter, ignoring signals
from any other sources. If the receiver is not bound to the transmitter,
the system will not operate. During binding the servo’s failsafe
positions are stored.
How To Bind
1. With the system hooked up and at least one remote receiver
attached to port B or R as described previously, insert the bind
plug in the DATA/BIND port.
Included with the system is an optional charge, ON/OFF adaptor lead.
Some heli pilots may prefer to use this adaptor lead instead of the
included Soft Switch. When plugged into the receiver’s switch port
this adaptor lead allows the following:
• The battery can be charged through the adaptor lead.
• The system can be turned off by inserting the bind plug. Removing
the bind plug turns the system on.
• Battery voltage can be monitored through the adaptor lead using
a flight log or voltmeter. If the voltmeter is plugged directly into
the male-male extension, the system is active and voltage under
load (system operational) is displayed. If plugged into the charging
lead, the at-rest battery voltage is displayed.
Install the adaptor lead as shown to the right.
2. T urn on the soft switch. Note that the LEDs on all receivers should
be flashing indicating that the receiver is ready to bind.
3. Establish the desired failsafe stick positions: normally low throttle,
low pitch and cyclic controls neutral. Please see the Failsafe
Functions section for more information about setting SmartSafe
and PreSet Failsafe functions.
4. Follow the procedures of your transmitter to enter it into bind
mode. The system will connect within a few seconds. The LEDs on
all receivers should go solid, indicating the system has connected.
5. Remove the bind plug and store it in a convenient place. A blue
light on the main unit and an amber light on the remote receiver
should turn on indicating the system is powered. Check servo
operation.
6. After you’ve programmed your model, it’s important to rebind the
system so the true low throttle and neutral control surface positions
are stored in the receiver.
