Instructions for the system menu setup: 

1.

 

Disconnect the power supply from the receiver unit. 

2.

 

Keep the Receiver’s electronics outside its enclosure in order to access the two pushbuttons: Blue Key (B-KEY) and Yellow Key (Y-
KEY). 

3.

 

Keeping both pushbuttons (B-KEY and Y-KEY) pressed, power the receiver on. After the initialization phase, the unit enters 
the System Menu. 

4.

 

Release the B_KEY and the Y_KEY. 

5.

 

Keep the B_KEY and the Y_KEY pressed for about 5 seconds until the DBX-RX switches to the next submenu, then release both 
keys. 

6.

 

Repeat step 5 until you reach the submenu where you need to operate. 

7.

 

In order to switch from one Setting to the next, press one of the pushbuttons: the B-KEY scrolls forwards, the Y-KEY scrolls 
backwards. In order to acquire the proportional trigger, act as described in paragraph 8.4.1. 

When the procedure is completed, turn the power supply off in order to end the System Configuration, or press both B-KEY and Y-

KEY simultaneously for about 5 seconds in order to switch to the next submenu. 

Troubleshooting 

When, after power-on, the display of the DBX-RX shows the indication “

_On

”, the unit has not entered the System Menu. Power 

the Receiver off and repeat the procedure keeping both keys pressed until the unit has entered the System Menu. 

8.4.1

 

Proportional Trigger Acquisition 

This paragraph is applicable only to systems that implement a proportional trigger. Connect the Transmitter to the Receiver through 

the service cable in order to carry out the proportional trigger’s acquisition. 

The Proportional Trigger acquisition is necessary only when the Transmitter unit has been 

replaced. This procedure ensures that the proportional parameters previously stored in the 

receiver’s memory are maintained. 

When entering the Proportional Trigger Acquisition submenu, a code is displayed, which represents the reading of the proportional 

trigger, and the receiver is ready for the self-calibration procedure. follow these steps: 

1.

 

Activate a movement: the receiver will not activate any of the outputs, but it will start the self-calibration acquiring the 
proportional trigger’s reading. 

2.

 

Keeping the movement active, push the proportional trigger to its maximum value and release it several times; during this phase 
the displayed code varies together with the trigger’s movements. 

3.

 

Release the proportional trigger and deactivate the movement; the receiver stores the trigger’s characteristics in its non-volatile 
memory. 

Troubleshooting 

When, after having completed steps 1 to 4, the display shows the indication “

Ad.0

”, the DBX-RX is not receiving any calibration 

message from the Transmitter: 

¾

 

Check that the two units are connected properly through the Service Cable. 

When, after having completed steps 1 to 4, the display shows the indication “

000

”, the RC-DBX-RU is not receiving any calibration 

value for the proportional trigger: 

¾

 

Check that the Emergency Stop Pushbutton is released. 

8.4.2

 

Optional Function Setup 

This paragraph is applicable only to systems that implement the optional function OPT1/OPT2. This function is configurable in one 

of the following operating modes: 

 

Setting Value 

displayed 

DESCRIPTION 

ON-OFF 

F_0 

OPT1 and OPT2 are standard on-off outputs (EVR and EV9 are not activated) 

LATCHING 1 

F_1 

One latching function: the OPT1 remote switch toggles the OPT1 output on and off 
OPT2 is a standard on-off output 

LATCHING 2 

F_2 

Two latching functions: the OPT1 remote switch toggles the OPT1 output on and off, the 
OPT2 remote switch toggles the OPT2 output on and off 

LATCHING 3 

F_3 

One latching function: the OPT1 remote switch toggles the OPT1 output on, the OPT2 
remote switch toggles the OPT1 output off 

PWM (only RC-DBR) 

F_4 

OPT1/OPT2 is a PWM function (EVR and EV9 are activated)
