Using the transmitter for the fi rst time
In the “Port select” window you can now select the
correct COM port, i.e. the one to which the USB in-
terface is connected. This can be identifi ed by the
name “Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge” in
the “Device Name” column; in the screen-shot above
this would be the “COM 3” port.
Now call up the “HoTT Module Upgrade option un-
der “Menu”, open the “Controller Menu” and click on
“HoTT Module”:
Click on the button labelled “File Browse” and select
the desired fi rmware update fi le (with the suffi x “bin”)
in the “Open fi le” dialogue which now appears.
The fi rmware fi les are present in a product-speci-
fi c encoded form, i.e. if you inadvertently select a fi le
which does not match the product (e.g. receiver up-
date fi le instead of transmitter update fi le), the pop-
up window “Product code error” appears, and the up-
date process cannot be started.
If you have not already done so, switch the transmit-
ter OFF at this point and start the transmitter update
procedure by clicking on the “Download Start” button.
Wait until the progress bar starts running. This can
take up to several seconds. Now switch the transmit-
ter ON with the BIND-Button pressed. After a few se-
conds, the status display „Found target device ...“
appears. Now release the BIND-Button. The actual
update process now commences, and a progress bar
starts running:
Do not interrupt the update process until the progress
bar has reached the right-hand margin, and you see
the message “Firmware Download Success” - also a
a brief buzzer sound appears and the STATUS-LED
of the transmitter changes from orange to green:

RX FAIL SAFE
INPUT CH: 01
MODE : FAI-SAFE
F.S.Pos. : 1500sec
DELAY : 0.75sec
OUTPUT CH: 01
POSITION : 1670sec
FAIL SAFE ALL: SAVE
After pressing the INC+DEC button once more, the
display reverts from “SAVE” to “NO”. This indicates that
the position of all the servos affected by the procedure
have now been stored, and have also been adopted
in the “F.S.Pos.” line. At the same time the position for
the current OUTPUT CH (servo socket) is immediately
displayed on the screen.
RX FAIL SAFE
INPUT CH: 01
MODE : FAI-SAFE
F.S.Pos. : 1670sec
DELAY : 0.75sec
OUTPUT CH: 01
POSITION : 1670sec
FAIL SAFE ALL: NO
Switch the transmitter off, and check the Fail-Safe posi-
tions by observing the servo movements.
“Fail-Safe” in combination with “channel mapping”
It is clearly desirable that mapped servos - i. e. servos
which are controlled by a common control channel
(INPUT CH) - should respond in the same way when
interference occurs, so the corresponding settings of the
INPUT CH determine the behaviour of mapped servos.
For example, if you are using a GR-16 eight-channel
receiver, Order No. 33508, and receiver servo sockets
6, 7 and 8 are mapped together, i. e. if the same control
channel “04” is assigned as INPUT CH to OUTPUT CH
(servo sockets) 06, 07 and 08 …
RX FAIL SAFE
INPUT CH: 04
MODE : OFF
F.S.Pos. : 1670sec
DELAY : 0.75sec
OUTPUT CH: 06
POSITION : 1670sec
FAIL SAFE ALL: NO
RX FAIL SAFE
INPUT CH: 04
MODE : OFF
F.S.Pos. : 1230sec
DELAY : 0.75sec
OUTPUT CH: 07
POSITION : 1670sec
FAIL SAFE ALL: NO
RX FAIL SAFE
INPUT CH: 04
MODE : HOLD
F.S.Pos. : 1770sec
DELAY : 0.75sec
OUTPUT CH: 08
POSITION : 1670sec
FAIL SAFE ALL: NO
… then INPUT CH 04 determines the Fail-Safe behavi-
our of the three servos connected to control channel 4,
regardless of the individual settings of the OUTPUT CH
for INPUT CH 04:
RX FAIL SAFE
INPUT CH: 04
MODE : FAI-SAFE
F.S.Pos. : 1500sec
DELAY : 0.75sec
OUTPUT CH: 04
POSITION : 1500sec
FAIL SAFE ALL: NO
This also applies, for example, if it is mapped in turn to
INPUT CH 01:
RX FAIL SAFE
INPUT CH: 01
MODE : FAI-SAFE
F.S.Pos. : 1500sec
DELAY : 0.75sec
OUTPUT CH: 04
POSITION : 1500sec
FAIL SAFE ALL: NO
In this case servo socket 04 would respond in ac-
cordance with the Fail-Safe settings for CH 01.
In contrast, the response or delay time set in the “DE-
LAY” line always applies uniformly to all channels which
are set to “FAIL-SAFE”.
