There is one control pulse for each channel, and four channels allocated to each model. It counts the
control pulses ignoring them until it arrives at the pulses for the model it is controlling. It then switches the
left and right motors according to the length of the relevant pulses. Genesis 80cm boats do not use the
other two pulses allocated to each model so the receiver ignores them.
The receiver then shuts down until the next sync pulse is received when the procedure is repeated. This
happens 15 times every second.
Mounted on the top of the receiver are the model selector buttons and a display. During use the display will
show the number of the model the receiver is set to control, or fault codes if a fault has been detected. It will
also indicate if the receiver is not receiving a signal from the transmitter by showing two flashing dots at the
bottom of the display.
The receiver can be set to operate any model by pressing the up or down model selector buttons during
use. The display will roll round when it reaches 1 or 12. On powerup the display will show the receiver type
followed by the number the receiver was last set to.
Due to its modular design and custom designed case the receiver may be repaired in the field by competent
technicians.

3.23 The receiver (RX)
The receiver is mounted in the rear of the
boat. For increased reliability it is
produced using surface mount compo-
nents on an automatic production line. It
is housed in a custom designed water
resistant case.
Its function is to receive the signal from
the transmitter, interpret the signal and
control the movement of the boat via the
motors. It does this by inspecting each
frame of information sent by the trans-
mitter. Each frame starts with a long
synchronisation pulse. The receiver sees
this and starts counting the control
pulses.
