SPEKTRUM NX10 • TRANSMITTER INSTRUCTION MANUAL

The Preflight Setup menu option enables you to program a

pre-flight checklist that appears each time you power on the

transmitter or when you select a new model memory. Each item on

the list must be confirmed before you can access the Main Screen.

The Frame Rate menu enables you to change the frame rate and

modulation mode. Select the option you wish to change and press

the scroll wheel.

You must use digital servos if you select 11ms frame rate. Analog

and digital servos can be used with a 22ms frame rate.

Modulation Mode

We recommend using DSMX

(default) modulation mode. When

DSMX is active, the transmitter operates in DSMX with DSMX

receivers and DSM2 with DSM2

receivers. The transmitter

automatically detects DSM2 or DSMX during binding and changes

the mode accordingly to match the receiver type you are using.

If you select DSM2, the transmitter operates in DSM2 regardless of

whether it is bound to a DSM2 or DSMX receiver.

*DSM2 is not available in the EU.

NOTICE:

While DSMX allows you to use more than 40

transmitters simultaneously, do not use more than 40

transmitters simultaneously when using a DSM2 receiver or a

transmitter in DSM2 mode.

NOTICE:

For EU versions, DSM2 operation is not available.

The Bind menu enables you to bind a transmitter and receiver

without powering off the transmitter. This menu is helpful if you are

programming a model and need to bind the receiver for failsafe

positions.

See “Programming Failsafe Positions” for more information.

Serial Port Setup

Serial Output

The Serial Output menu manages serial port usage on the back of

the transmitter. This port is designed to communicate with external

RF devices using digital communication protocols. The NX10

includes the SRXL2 as well as the CRFS protocols for compatibility

with the TBS Cross Fire and Cross Fire 2. In addition, the NX10 is

engineered to deliver a 9.5V power supply for external devices.

Any changes made in this menu will not be applied until the RF is

re-enabled.

Serial Port Protocol

Scroll to the

Protocol

. Select

Inhibit

SRXL2

Cross Fire 1

Cross Fire 2

. Selecting the Cross Fire 1 or Cross Fire 2 options

will enable the CRFS data stream. Connecting the Cross Fire

system requires the Cross Fire serial port adaptor (SPMA3090,

not included). Consult the manufacturer’s manual for use of any

external RF device. Horizon Hobby does not provide support for

external RF devices connected to the NX10 transmitter.

Spektrum RF

Select Active to transmit Spektrum RF along with the data stream

coming from the data port when other protocols are selected. The

switch defaults to Active when the

Protocol

is set to

Inhibit

External Power (9.5v)

Select On when using an external power source for the external

device. Select Off to use the internal power of the NX10 to power

the device.

IMPORTANT:

Battery use will be affected and the expected

use time will decrease when using this option to power external

devices.
