EN User Guide • PowerSafe™ receivers covered in this manual are updatable using a micro USB cable and a PC. IMPORTANT: The AR10400T, AR14400T and AR20400T PowerSafe receivers use four remotely mounted receivers. Each aircraft installation requires careful planning to optimally place the remote receivers to provide the best possible RF link.

EN NOTICE: When using Y-harness or servo extensions with Spektrum equipment, do not use reversing harnesses. Using reversing Y-harnesses or servo extensions may cause servos to operate erratically or not function at all. To access channels above 12, you are required to enable X-Plus mode on your transmitter. On DX18 transmitters, channels 11 and 12 will be locked at center if X-Plus mode is not enabled. To access 14 channel mode, you must select this option in compatible transmitters.
EN Installation 1. Find a secure mounting location on a mounting tray or bulkhead 2. Self tapping mounting screws are provided to use the integrated mounting tabs and grommets. 3. We recomend drilling a pilot hole for the mounting screws to prevent the mounting surface from splitting. TIP: If the screw is threading into a soft material such as balsawood, harden the threads with thin CA before final mounting. 4. It is not neccesary to compress the grommets tightly.
EN Mounting the Remote Receivers Orientation of the Remote Receivers Mount the remote receivers in a location that allows for the best possible signal reception when the aircraft is in all possible orientations. Three remote receivers are included with the AR10400T and four are included with the AR14400T and AR20400T, we recommend having one mounted with the antennas oriented vertically, one horizontally in-line with the fuselage and one horizontally perpendicular to the fuselage.
EN Using One Battery When using one battery it may be plugged into either battery port. If you are using one battery, secure the unused battery input connector. A single blue LED will remain illuminated when the receiver is powered by one battery. Using Two Batteries The PowerSafe receivers have a redundant dual battery system, each pack functions independently and is isolated from the other.
EN Failsafe The AR10400T, AR14400T and AR20400T PowerSafe receivers have three failsafe features: Pre-Connect Failsafe, Preset Failsafe and SmartSafe™. Pre-Connect Failsafe: Prevents a servo signal from being generated before the receiver connects to a transmitter. It is not affected by failsafe bind settings. If the receiver is powered ON with no connection, it will remain in standby mode with no output pulses to the servos, until a bound transmitter connects.
EN • Frame Rate Gives you the option of adjusting the update rate from the receiver to the servos (this does not change the frame rate from the transmitter to the receiver.) When set to INH, the default frame rate from the transmitter will be the servo update rate. Additional setting options are 5.5ms, 11ms, and 22ms. Some servos cannot handle fast update rates such as old analog servos.
EN Reset Capacity From the Forward Programming->PowerSafe Telemetry menu, press NEXT to see the manual reset capacity button. Press this to reset the stored capacity used manually. Use this when not using Automatic Reset after a charge to reset your battery capacity used. In addition to being able to reset the capacity through forward programming, you can also reset the capacity by pressing the bind button while the receiver is on and connected to a transmitter.
EN Hold A Hold occurs when 45 consecutive frame losses occur. This takes about one second, and in this event the receiver moves the channel outputs to the failsafe settings. If a hold ever occurs, it’s important to re-evaluate the system and check every component. If your system displays a hold taking place, diagnose the cause and resolve the issue before flying again. It is normal to see a hold logged if you power OFF your transmitter and back ON.
EN Range Testing Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, it’s important to perform a range check. All Spektrum aircraft transmitters incorporate a range testing system, which reduces the output power to allow a range check. 1. With the model resting on the ground, stand approximately 100 feet (30 meters) away from the model. 2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position and put your transmitter into range test mode. 3.
EN The SPM9604 Receiver sensor is not compatible with PowerSafe receivers because its function is already built into the receiver. For information on Spektrum Telemetry Sensors visit: http://www.spektrumrc.com Telemetry The Spektrum AR10400T, AR14400T and AR20400T PowerSafe telemetry receivers features 4 integrated telemetry ports that are compatible with Spektrum telemetry capable transmitters. • No telemetry module required. Telemetry is built into the receiver.
EN Regenerative Servos The PowerSafe receivers can support up to 3 regenerative servos which back feed power to the receiver. If using more than 3 servos, please add additional devices to absorb the additional power input. When the PowerSafe receivers have receivers back feeding power to the receiver, the Regen LED will illuminate.
