Locate the switch harness away from the propeller and the glow engine exhaust. Where applicable, cut a
hole in the side of the fuselage large enough to allow the switch’s lever to move fully from end-to-end - but
not so long that the mounting screws cannot be secured to the fuselage. Connect the wire at the “ON” side
of the switch to the receiver’s “BAT” slot. Connect the battery to the appropriate wire at the “OFF” side of the
switch. The remaining wire at the “OFF” side of the switch can be used for recharging the battery through
the switch harness. Make sure the switch is in the “OFF” position to charge the battery through the switch.
Linking the TTX810 to the included receiver ensures sole communication between the two, and prevents
other transmitters from being able to control the receiver.
1.
Turn on the Tx.
2.
Apply power to the Rx.
3.
If the Rx LED fl ashes once and then stays on, the Rx is already linked to the Tx and you can skip to
the next section. Otherwise, insert a small diameter screwdriver through the hole marked “LINK” and
press the pushbutton until the Rx LED glows red and then turns off after about one second.
4.
Release the “LINK” button.
5.
If the linking is successful, the Rx LED will fl ash once and then remain ON.
6.
Test for proper Tx / Rx functionality before use. If the radio doesn’t appear to have become properly
linked, repeat steps 1-5 above and move the Tx at least three feet away from the Rx.
The failsafe function engages in the event the signal from the Tx somehow becomes interrupted, and is
controlled by the Tactic receiver. Depending on the receiver used, the failsafe position of certain channels
can be set by the user. All other channels will hold their last recognized position.
Tactic’s TR624 and TR625 receivers allow for the failsafe position of throttle channel 3 to be custom set by
the user. The factory default failsafe position for channel 3 is 0% throttle. Channels 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 will hold
their last recognized positions.
Tactic’s TR825 receiver allows for the failsafe position of all eight channels to be set by the user.
Refer to the instructions included with the respective receiver for how to set the failsafe positions. Basic
setting instructions are as follows:
1.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the servo reversing switches are in the correct position for the application.
2.
Apply power to the Tx, then the Rx.
3a.
If using an ESC: Do NOT arm the ESC, or attempt to adjust the throttle’s failsafe position if the ESC
is armed. NOTE: If using an ESC which has a signal loss feature, its pre-set failsafe position will be
irrelevant as the receiver’s failsafe function will cease the throttle operation if the signal becomes lost.
3b.
If using a combustion engine: Do NOT attempt to adjust the throttle’s failsafe position while the engine
is operating.
4.
Depending on the receiver used, move the appropriate controls to the desired failsafe position(s).
5.
Press and hold the receiver’s “LINK” button. The Rx’s LED should blink twice. Release the LINK button,
and the LED should stay on continuously. The Tx and Rx should now be linked, with the failsafe position
for each respective channel in the new position as set above.
