BINDING/FRAME RATE
Binding is the Process of teaching the receiver the specific transmitter’s code called GUID (Globally Unique
Identifier) and storing failsafe values. When a receiver is bound to a transmitter/model memory, the receiver will
only respond to that specific transmitter/model memory.
BIND ThE TRANSMITTER TO ThE RECEIvER
1.
Place the receiver into Bind mode, the LED on the receiver will begin to flash.
2.
Power on the transmitter.
3.
Select the Model Memory you wish to bind to.
4.
Select Bind from the List menu.
5.
Move the throttle channel to the desired failsafe position.
IMPORTANT:
The throttle channel must stay in the failsafe position until binding is complete.
6.
Scroll to Bind and click the scroll wheel. The orange LED flashes on top of the transmitter.
7.
When the bind process is complete, the transmitter and receiver LEDs stop flashing and turn solid orange.
8.
Remove the bind plug from the receiver and keep it in a convenient place.
NOTICE:
Always remove the bind plug from the receiver when the bind Process is complete. Failure to do so
will cause the receiver to enter bind mode the next time you power on the receiver.
FAIlSAFE
The throttle failsafe position is set during binding. In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will drive the
throttle servo to its pre-Programmed failsafe position (normally full brakes) and all other channels will have no servo output. If the
receiver is turned on prior to turning on the transmitter, the receiver will enter the failsafe mode, driving the throttle servo to its preset
failsafe position. When the transmitter is turned on, normal control is resumed.
IMPORTANT:
Failsafe activates only in the event that signal is lost from the transmitter. Failsafe will NOT activate in the event that
receiver battery power decreases below the recommended minimums or power to the receiver is lost.
FRAME RATE:
For compatibility with all types of servos, four frame rates are available:
•
5.5ms:
Gives the fastest response rate. Digital Servos and a compatible receiver are required.
IMPORTANT
: When 5.5ms frame rate is selected, only two channels (steering and throttle) are operational.
•
11ms:
Offers good response rates and is compatible with most digital and analog servos (this is the
default position). Works with DSMR surface receivers.
•
16.5ms
: Needed for older analog servos. Works with DSM2
®
surface receivers.
•
22ms:
Needed for older analog servos. Works with DSMR
®
receivers.
IMPORTANT:
You should always use the fastest response rate the servos can handle. This gives the lowest
latency and fastest response. If the frame rate is incompatible with the servo, the servo will move erratically
or, in some cases, not at all. If this occurs, change the frame rate to the next highest value.
IMPORTANT:
Always rebind after changing the Frame Rate.
