• You can power the receiver with either 4 or 5 cell NimH-batteries.
• Alternatively you can power the receiver with either the 5A weatronic Switch/Regulator or
• The 10A weatronic comfort-Switch/Regulator both for use with 2 cell Lipos
6.7 Failsafe programming
There are two ways of programming the failsafe of the micro receivers. One is through the GIGAControl software and the other is done as follows.
The failsafe programming of the Dual Receiver 2.4 Dual FHSS micros are initiated from the transmitter. Every channel can be programmed individually.
The red jumper has to be inserted into the top position (connecting yellow and red) prior to switching on the receiver.
Now you can adjust each channel one by one. For adjustment of a single channel you have to initiate a sequence by moving it to its limits first and
then to the position of failsafe. Failsafe will be stored for every channel that has been activated as been described above, when pulling off the red
jumper. Any channel that was not activated will be a hold channel, meaning it will hold its position when going into failsafe.
All Failsafe values will be stored at the moment of pulling the jumper. Turning on and off of the receiver will not affect the settings of a channel unless
the channel has been activated by moving its control beyond 50%.
6.8 Range check
First off the transmitter and receiver have to be bound to each other.
• First switch on the transmitter and after that the receiver.
• The transmitter needs to be put into range check modus. The transmitter will then be transmitting at a reduced output power of 1mW
(instead of 100mW). To activate this modus, depress the Button 1 for at least 5 seconds right after turning on the transmitter.
• The yellow LED on the right side (“test”) will be flashing as a signal that you are in range check modus. You have 60 seconds before the
transmitter returns back to normal transmitting modus.
• If you exceed these 60 seconds, you will have to turn off the transmitter again and press the Button 1 again.
• You should be able to do 80 to 100 paces (steps) with the transmitter pointing to the model and still have a good link. (No red blinking,
indicating an interruption of the link)
Should you not be able to achieve this, do not attempt to fly. It will be necessary to evaluate all parameters as position
of the receiver and antennas, cable routings, switches, charging state of batteries on board as well as of the transmitter.
6.9 Country codes
There are two country codes available:
• World: Utilizing the Spread Spectrum from 2.4010 – 2.4835 GHz
• France: Utilizing a limited Spectrum from 2,4010 – 2,4530 GHz
The default setting is World. For users operating in France, changing to the French regulations is achieved by depressing both buttons 1&2 on the
transmitter module for five seconds. This will be verified by a flashing of all three LEDs.
1 flash: World setting
2 flashes: France
To return to world setting, repeat the 5 second push on both buttons (1&2).
