1N00-610 Genesis Super Truck v1.0 03/04
2.25 The Receiver (RX)
The receiver is mounted in the front of the model. For increased reliability it is
produced using surface mount components 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 actions of the model via the drive motor, steering servo and
unhitch solenoid. It does this by inspecting each frame of information sent by
the transmitter. Each frame starts with a long synchronisation pulse. The
receiver sees this and starts counting the control pulses. 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 drive motor, steering servo and unhitch
solenoid according to the length of the relevant pulses. Genesis trucks do not
use the last pulse allocated to each model so the receiver ignores it. The
receiver than 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.
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.
