Push and slide down Battery cover Binding procedure (Take ORX receiver as example) 1. Install a bind plug into BIND connector. In case if you want to disable telemetry function on the receiver, install second bind plug into THRO connector. 2. Apply power to the receiver. It can be from 3.7 to 9.6 volts DC. Please refer to indicator on the receiver for the correct pinout (GND, VCC, SIGNAL) 3. You will see the orange LED rapidly blinking. That means the receiver is in Bind mode. 4.
5. The system will display “RX Binding..”. After successfully binding, the transmitter will automati cally exit this binding menu. 6. Remove the bind plug(s) from the BIND on the receiver NOTICE: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time the power is turned on. Sometimes servo inputs or ESC-s with high input load can cause receiver binding in “No telemetry” mode. During this binding you will see both orange and red LED blinking.
End points End points controls the low and high travel limits for each servo. For each channel the user can set the low and high limits. This ensures that the channel date for the servo is consistent with structural design and performance requirements to ensure the best results. Adjustment can be made for any channel. Setup: 1. Press the Roller button to select channel 2. The right-side value represents high limit / The left-side value represents low limit. Move the stick to the desired low or high value.
Dual rate/exp. This function is use to add a curve to the channels input. This means that the ratio of stick to channel movement can be changed in order to add or remove sensitivity at different parts of the sticks range of motion. It can available on the aileron, elevator and rudder channels. This function sets the rate and exp. for channels 1, 2 & 4 and the switches from Sw 1 to 8, Disable and ON Rate – Adjust the slope of the curve.
Setup: 1. Select “Throttle Curve” in main menu 2. Press the Roller button to select point L, 1, 2, 3, H. 3. Move the wheel left or right to change the point’s value (position) on the graph. 4. Press and hold the wheel to save an exit 5. Or press the cancel key to exit without saving. Throttle cut The throttle cut function is used for gas powered engines. When the chosen switch is toggled the throttle will drop below the set minimum in order to cut the engine. Setup: 1.
Mixes This function is used to create a mix between channels. For example, if at low throttle some automated flap movement is desired, it is possible to create a mix to do this. The difference between curve mixes and linear mixes is that it is no possible to create a nonlinear relationship between the master and slave. Setup: 1. Select “Mixes” in main menu 2. Press the roller button to select below options Mix# 1 to 6 Mix is – on / off Master – Channel 1 to 6 Slave – Channel 1 to 6 Pos.
2.Press and hold the Binding key to activate Range test Timer This function is used to keep track of time to reduce the risk of aircraft running out of battery/fuel and crashing. These are very useful when used in conjunction with a toggle. There are two choices for timer: Engine timer and Multi. Timer. Engine Timer counts the time when throttle value exceeds the set value. Both timers can be reset by touching the “Reset”, and engine timer can modify throttle value by moving Roller button.
Up Mode: Reset - Press and hold the cancel key to reset the timer if needed, then press the Roller button Thr. pos - Turn the Roller button to change the throttle trigger point.
