ESTING
Before each flying session and especially with a new model, it is important to perform a range check.
Make sure that your transmitter battery is fully charged. Be careful and make sure that all propellers on your aircraft are removed.
Turn your transmitter on and following turn on your receiver.
Make sure that the orange LED on your receiver/satellites is ON and solid. That indicates a good signal received.
Move the sticks and confirm that all servos/control surfaces are moving smooth and without stopping and delays. Ask your buddy to watch your
aircraft.
Move 30 steps away (appr. 28 meters). Press and hold BIND button. Move sticks and check if all servos are moving smooth and without
delays. Check if orange LED on the receiver is solid ON.
If orange LED is solid ON and all control surfaces move smooth and no delays then the range test is PASSED.

ONNECTORS
:
Connector P1 Pin description
:
PIN1- PPM signal, TTL 5V, 6-12 channels
PIN2- VCC In, 6-18VDC, 100mA
PIN3- for future use,
PIN4- GND
PIN5- Not connected
Antenna connector:
SMA connector to attach a standard rubber duck 2.4GHz 50Ohm antenna.

UTTONS
:
Button 1(ID
)
When pressed upon power on a new unique ID is assigned to Tx.
There is totally 4 billion combinations available. When powered up with Button1 pressed the new ID will be generated. The procedure
of new ID generation is initiated regardless if PPM signal present or not. After detection of Button 1 pressed module waits for 3 sec
then generated a new ID and buzzer generates long beep (0.3 sec). After this the module waits until the button 1 is released. When
button is released the module detects PPM signal from the radio.
Button 2(Bind)
When the module is powered on while the button is pressed a binding procedure is initiated.
When pressed during operation the output power is reduced to 1mW for a range check
During binding procedure the output power is fixed at 0.006mW
During Range test procedure the output power is fixed at 1mW.

FUNCTIONALITY
:
During normal working operation LED indicates current working mode.
DSM2, 1024 mode – OFF
DSM2, 2048 mode – single blinks
DSMx, 22ms mode – double blinks
DSMx, 11ms mode – triple blinks
B
UZZER
:
Buzzer indicates the status and the mode of the Tx module. When it is powered ON in presence of PPM signal (normal operation) you should
hear three short beeps. If you powered your radio and don’t hear three short beeps that means your radio probably doesn’t output the PPM
signal. The reasons for the radio not outputting PPM signal can be:
-
Your radio is not set up to output PPM signal;
-
Sticks, and/or switches are not in their initial position – throttle might be high or switches for landing gear/flaps/throttle hold are not in
proper position. Check your switches and sticks position.
During binding procedure upon successful binding the module will also make three short beeps. With unsuccessful binding it will be a
single long beep.
