Opterra 2M Wing Manual

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID
(Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You need to
‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum
™
DSM2
®
/DSMX
®
technology equipped aircraft
transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.
IMPORTANT: Before binding a transmitter, read the Transmitter Setup section
of this manual to ensure that your transmitter is properly programmed for this
aircraft.

Binding Procedure
IMPORTANT: The included AR636 receiver has been programmed for
operation specifically for this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for cor-
rect setup if the receiver is replaced or is used in another aircraft.
Read the transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver (location of
transmitter’s Bind control). Please visit www.bindnfly.com for a com-
plete list of compatible transmitters.
CAUTION: When using a Futaba
®
transmitter with a Spektrum DSM
module, you must reverse the throttle channel and rebind. Refer to your
Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe instructions. Refer to
your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle
channel.
1. Make sure the transmitter is powered off.
2. Move the transmitter controls to neutral (flight controls: rudder,
elevators and ailerons) or to low positions (throttle, throttle trim).*
3. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
4. Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The ESC will produce a series
of sounds. One long tone, then 3 short tones confirm that the LVC is
set correctly for the ESC. The orange bind LED on the receiver will
begin to flash rapidly. Make sure the aircraft is upright and level.
5. Power on the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button
or switch. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding.
6. When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the orange bind light on
the receiver will turn solid and the ESC will produce a series of three
ascending tones. The tones indicate the ESC is armed, provided
the throttle stick and throttle trim are low enough to trigger arming.
The aircraft will cycle the control surfaces twice to indicate that the
reciever has initialized.
7. Remove the bind plug from the bind port.
8. Safely store the bind plug (some owners attach the bind plug to their
transmitter using two-part loops and clips).
9. The receiver should retain the binding instructions received from the
transmitter until another binding is done.
* The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at
the lowest position. If you encounter problems, follow the binding instruc-
tions and refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instruc-
tions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.
**Failsafe
If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate.
When activated, failsafe moves the throttle channel to its preset failsafe
position (low throttle) that was set during binding. All other channels hold
their last position.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge.
The ESC protects the flight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cut-
off (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power
supplied to the motor. Power to the motor pulses, showing that some battery
power is reserved for flight control and safe landing.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent
trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before stor-
age. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per
cell. LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.
Tip: Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before and after flying by using a
Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker (EFLA111, sold separately).
