Failsafe
In the unlikely event the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will enable
the selected failsafe mode. Smart Safe + Hold Last is the default failsafe mode
on the AR10360T. Preset Failsafe and SAFE Failsafe modes are only available
through Forward Programming.
Sma Hold Last
If loss of signal occurs, SmartSafe™ technology moves the throttle channel to
the failsafe position (low throttle) set during binding. All other channels will hold
their last position. When the receiver detects the signal from the transmitter,
normal aircraft operation resumes.
Preset Failsafe
With preset failsafe, you can set the specific control surface positions you want
to use if the signal is lost. When the receiver detects the signal from the trans-
mitter, normal aircraft operation resumes.
Preset failsafe mode is only available through Forward Programming.
SAFE Failsafe
SAFE Failsafe mode will work to automatically level your aircraft if the signal is
lost. In the forward programming menu you can select the bank and pitch angles
the aircraft will attempt to maintain during failsafe. We recommend setting bank
and pitch angles so the aircraft flies a gentle gliding turn, preventing a flyaway.
You must complete First Time SAFE Setup before this option is available.
SAFE Failsafe mode is only available through Forward Programming.
Testing Failsafe
Secure the aircraft on the ground and remove the propeller. Test Failsafe set-
tings by turning the transmitter RF output off and noting how the receiver drives
the control surfaces.
Receiver Power Only
• The servo ports will not have a control signal if the receiver is turned on
when no transmitter signal is present.
• All channels have no output until the receiver has linked to the transmitter.
Initial Setup
1.
Verify your transmitter is updated to the latest Spektrum AirWare™
software to take advantage of Forward Programming. See your transmitter
manual for updating instructions.
2.
Install the receiver in your airplane.
3.
Bind the receiver to your transmitter.
4.
Complete the airplane setup on your transmitter including wing type, tail
type, channel assignments, mixing, sub trim and travel the same as you
would for any other aircraft without AS3X. Verify the center of gravity is
correct and test fly your aircraft.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use open mixes for flight control surfaces when setting
up a model with the AR10360T for AS3X and SAFE. Only use wing and tail type
options to configure flight controls, refer to your transmitter manual for more
information about wing and tail type features.
