KEN 2 Channel FM RECEIVER
Installation
For best performance, your Ken receiver should be firmly affixed and connected to
your surface model according to the procedure below.
1. Locate and decide the mounting position of Ken. Ken and the antenna mast
should be positioned closely to each other, but they should be mounted as far
away as possible from the speed controller, motor, servo, power wires and the
power source in order to minimize the pickup of electrical noise which reduces
the radio range.
2. Clean the surface where Ken is to be mounted.
3. Mount the Ken with double-sided adhesive tape (included). If installed in an
engine powered model, it is recommended that the Ken receiver be mounted with
foam rubber wrapped around to dampen the vibration or shock and to protect
from dirt or oil.
4. Run the antenna wire up through the antenna mast. Do not cut or coil the
excess wire, or radio range will be reduced.
5. For gas powered models, plug the steering servo connector into Slot 1, throttle
servo connector into Slot 2, and power connector into Slot B. For electric powered
models, plug the steering servo connector into Slot 1, speed controller connector
into Slot 2. Be sure the connectors are firmly inserted into the slots to avoid
connections becoming loose due to vibration from the model. Ken receiver
accepts Futaba

NOTE
Do not cut or coil the excess antenna wire. Cutting, bundling or routing the receiver
antenna wire near any devices that produce noise (RF) will reduce the operating range of the
radio system and result in loss of control. Do not remove the housing case of Ken receiver in
an attempt to reduce weight. This can cause serious damage to the internal circuitry from dirt
or moisture. Removing the case will void Proton Control Systems’ product warranty.
