Introduction
The Blade® 450 3D will give intermediate to advanced heli pilots an outdoor ready-to-fly experience like no other. It comes out of the box 100% factory built and
equipped with state-of-the-art features like brushless power, digital servos, a MEMS heading lock gyro, CCPM control and symmetrical Blades. Its new and
improved digital cyclic and tail servos provide crisper, cleaner response for added precision and stability while the new heading lock gyro provides more control
over the tail for additional control and confidence. And because it’s flight tested at the factory, no pre-flight setup is required. The Blade 450 3D is ready for
everything from smooth hovering to 3D aerobatic flying as soon as you finish charging the battery included with the RTF, or bind to your DSM transmitter if
purchasing the BNF Basic. The 450 3D’s new aggressive body and trim scheme make this Blade one hot heli.

Charging the Flight Battery
DC Li-Po Balancing Charger Features
The Blade 450 3D RTF comes with a DC balancing charger and 3S Li-Po
battery. You must charge the included Li-Po battery pack with a Li-Po specific
charger only (such as the included charger). Never leave the battery and
charger unattended during the charge process. Failure to follow the instructions properly could result in a fire. When charging, make certain the battery is
on a heat-resistant surface. Charge the flight battery before binding the aircraft
(BNF only) or performing control tests.
• Charges 3-cell lithium polymer battery packs
• 1.8A charge rate
• LED charge status indicator
• LED cell balance indicator
• 12V alligator clip input cord
Specifications
• Input power: 12V DC, 1.8-amp
• Charges 3-cell Li-Po packs with minimum capacity of 1800mAh
3S 11.1V 2200mAh Li-Po Battery Pack
The Blade 450 3D 3S Li-Po battery pack features a balancing lead that allows
you to safely charge your battery pack when used with the included Blade 450
3D Li-Po balancing charger.
The Battery Charging Process
1.
Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or
punctured.
2.
Connect the charger to a 12V power source noting proper polarity.
3.
The CELL STATUS LEDs glow solid red and the CHARGE STATUS LED flashes red.
4.
Connect the battery balance lead to the charger. The balance connector is keyed to prevent reverse polarity.
5.
The CELL STATUS LEDs glow solid green or yellow and the CHARGE STATUS LED glows solid red when the battery is charging.
6.
Charging is complete when all LEDs glow solid red.
7.
Always unplug the battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.
CAUTION: Overcharging a battery can cause a fire.
Note: Attempting to charge an over-discharged battery will cause the charger to repeatedly flash red and green, indicating an error has occured.
WARNING: Failure to use the proper charger for a Li-Po battery can result in serious damage, and will cause a fire. ALWAYS use caution when
charging Li-Po batteries.
WARNING: Selecting a charge rate higher than 1x (one times) the battery capacity may cause a fire.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
The ESC will continuously lower power to the motor until complete shutdown
when the battery reaches 9V under load. This helps prevent over-discharge of
the Li-Po battery. Land immediately when the ESC activates LVC. Continuing
to fly after LVC can damage the battery, cause a crash or both. Crash damage
and batteries damaged due to over-discharge are not covered under warranty.
Repeatedly flying the helicopter until LVC activates will damage the helicopter
battery. We recommend using the timer and landing after 6 minutes of flying
to prevent damage to the battery. If using the Advanced setting, the timer is
programmed for 5 minutes.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent
trickle discharge. Please fully charge and store a Li-Po battery. During storage
make sure battery charge does not go below 3V per cell.
The DX6i timer is programmed for 6 minutes at the factory. The timer can be
increased to 8 minutes if you are only hovering the helicopter.
Throttle Hold
Throttle hold only turns off the motor on an electric helicopter. You maintain
pitch and direction control.
The blades will spin if throttle hold is OFF (0). For safety, turn throttle hold ON
(1) any time you need to touch the helicopter or check the direction controls.
Throttle hold is also used to turn off the motor if the helicopter is out of control,
in danger of crashing, or both.
Please refer to your transmitter manual for more information on programming
throttle hold.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding
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™ DSM technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.
Note: When using a Futaba transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, you must reverse the throttle channel.

Binding Procedure
1.
Read transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).
2.
Make sure transmitter is powered off.
3.
Install a bind plug in the receiver battery/bind port.
4.
Connect the flight battery to the ESC. The receiver LED will begin to flash rapidly.
5.
Move the transmitter controls to neutral (flight controls: rudder, elevators and ailerons) or to low positions (throttle).*
6.
Power on the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind button or switch. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or
switch instructions.
7.
When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the receiver light will turn solid.
8.
Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC. Remove the bind plug from the receiver.
9.
Safely store the bind plug (some owners attach the bind plug to their transmitter using two-part loops and clips).
10. The receiver will keep the binding to the transmitter until another binding is done.
* The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle trim is not at the center position.
If you encounter problems, obey binding instructions and refer to transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate
Horizon Product Support office.

Gyro Test
1. Connect the aircraft battery to the ESC.
NOTICE: Do not allow the helicopter to move until the red gyro LED is
solid. The gyro will not operate correctly if the helicopter moves before
the LED is solid red.
2. Move the TH HOLD switch to the (1) position.
3. Move the rudder control to the right. The tail rotor blades move as
shown. If they do not move as shown, reverse the rudder channel in the
transmitter (refer to your transmitter manual for instructions).
4. Release the rudder control. Quickly turn the helicopter nose to the left.
The tail blades move in the same direction as right rudder input. If they
do not move as shown, change the position of the reverse switch on the
gyro.
Motor Control Test
Place the helicopter on a clean and flat ground surface (concrete or asphalt)
free of obstructions. Always stay clear of the moving rotor blades.
CAUTION: Keep pets and other animals away from the helicopter.
Animals may injure themselves if they attack or run toward the
helicopter.
1. Move all transmitter switches to the (0) position and move the throttle stick
to idle/low stick position..
2. Turn the transmitter on. Make sure the transmitter shows at least 5.0V on
the screen.
CAUTION: The transmitter battery alarm beeps when the transmitter
batteries are 4.3V or less. Replace the transmitter batteries when the
alarm beeps.
3. Connect the blue EC3™ battery connector to the ESC. Do not allow the
helicopter to move until the red LED on the gyro is solid.
4. The motor beeps twice when the ESC arms properly. Move the Throttle
Hold (TH HOLD) switch to the (1) position.
WARNING: The motor, main rotor and tail rotor will spin when the throttle is increased if the TH HOLD switch is not moved to the (1) position.
5. Place the helicopter in an open area outdoors.
CAUTION: Stay at least 30 feet (10 meters) away from the helicopter
when the motor is running. Do not attempt to fly the helicopter at this
time.
Move the Throttle Hold switch to the (0) position. Slowly increase the throttle
until the blades begin to spin. The main blades spin clockwise when viewing
the helicopter from the top. The tail rotor blades spin counterclockwise when
viewing the helicopter from the right-hand side.

CAUTION: Always fly the helicopter with your back to the sun and the
wind to prevent loss of flight control.
Select a large, open area away from people and objects. Your first flights
should be outdoors in low-wind conditions. Always stay at least 30 feet
(10 meters) away from the helicopter when it is flying.
Continue making trim adjustments until the helicopter hovers at a low altitude
with very little drifting and directional control input. If the 450 3D is your first
helicopter model, seek help from an experienced pilot to trim the model for you
before making your first flight.
The Blade 450 3D is not intended to be flown indoors where it might be
possible to fly a Blade SR or Blade CX2. Experienced pilots may find it possible
to fly the helicopter in a large gymnasium.
CAUTION: Please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the
Blade 450 3D primary controls before attempting your first flight. The
Blade 450 3D is more responsive than other Blade helicopters, such
as the Blade SR. We recommend getting help from an experienced
pilot and installing training gear if you are new to 3D or collective pitch
helicopters.
When the helicopter is in stunt mode:
- The rotor head speed is constant.
- The main rotor will increase negative pitch as the throttle/collective stick is
moved from the middle stick position to the low stick position. Negative pitch
allows the helicopter to fly upside down and perform aerobatics.
Change between stunt and idle up modes in a hover with the throttle near the
middle stick position.
The helicopter may go up or down when you change between modes due to
the difference in the throttle and pitch curves.
hile attempting to establish a low-level hover, you can also check to see if
W
any trim adjustments are required to help keep the 450 3D from constantly
drifting in various directions. If you find the aircraft constantly drifts without any
directional control input, land the model before making any adjustments to the
trim settings.
WARNING: Do not use EFLH1415A Main Blades with the Blade 450 or
injury and/or property damage could occur.
- If the helicopter drifts forward or backward, adjust the elevator trim.
- If the helicopter drifts to the left or right, adjust the aileron trim.
Gyro Gain Adjustment
• If the tail wags or oscillates, lower the gain on the gyro.
On your transmitter, decrease the gyro gain values a small amount at a
time until the helicopter is stable within a particular flight mode
• If the tail is drifting while hovering, increase the gain on the gyro.
On your transmitter, increase the gyro gain values a small amount at
a time until the tail starts to wag/oscillate. Afterwards, reduce the gain
until the tail stops wagging/oscillating within a particular flight mode.
Pirouette speed adjustment
• To increase or decrease the pirouette rate of the helicopter, adjust the
Travel Adjust or Dual Rates values on the rudder channel. Refer to your
transmitter’s instruction manual.
Post-Flight Inspections and Maintenance
Ball Links
Make sure the plastic ball link holds the control ball, but is not tight (binding) on the ball. When a link is too loose on the ball, it can separate from the ball
during flight and cause a crash. Replace worn ball links before they fail.
Cleaning
Make sure battery is not connected before cleaning. Remove dust and debris with a soft brush or a dry lint free cloth.
Bearings
Replace bearings when they become notchy (sticky in places when turning) or draggy.
Wiring
Make sure wiring does not block moving parts. Replace damaged wiring and loose connectors.
Fasteners
Make sure there are no loose screws, other fasteners or connectors. Do not over tighten metal screws in plastic parts. Tighten screw so parts are mated
together, then turn screw only 1/8th of a turn more.
Rotors
Make sure there is no damage to rotor blades and other parts which move at high speed. Damage to these parts includes cracks, burrs, chips or scratches.
Replace damaged parts before flying.

Receiver Installation
AR6115 installed in airplane
In electric airplanes, it is recommended that double-sided foam tape be used to secure the
AR6115/AR6115e in a position recommended by the aircraft manufacturer.
AR6115 installed in Heli
In electric helicopters, it is recommended that double-sided foam tape be used to secure
the AR6115/AR6115e in a position that locates the receiver away from the motor and ESC
where possible.
Important: Y-Harnesses and Servo Extensions
When using a Y-harness or servo extensions in your installation, it’s important to use standard nonamplified Y-harnesses and servo extensions as this can/will cause the servos to operate erratically
or not function at all. Amplified Y-harnesses were developed several years ago to boost the signal
for some older PCM systems and should not be used with Spektrum equipment. Note that when
converting an existing model to Spektrum be certain that all amplified Y-harnesses and/or servo
extensions are replaced with conventional non-amplified versions.
Binding
The AR6115/AR6115e receiver must be bound to the transmitter before it will operate. Binding is
the process of teaching the receiver the specific code of the transmitter so it will only connect to that
specific transmitter.
EN
1. To bind an AR6115/AR6115e to a DSM2 transmitter, insert the bind plug in the BIND/DATA port on
the receiver.
Note: To bind an aircraft with an electronic speed controller that powers the receiver through the
throttle channel (ESC/BEC), insert the bind plug into the BIND//DATA port in the receiver and the
throttle lead into the throttle (THRO) port. Proceed to Step #2.
2. Power the receiver. Note that the LED on the receiver should be flashing, indicating that the receiver
is in bind mode and ready to be bound to the transmitter.
3. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the desired failsafe positions (low throttle and
neutral control positions).
4. Follow the procedures of your specific transmitter to enter Bind Mode, the system will connect
within a few seconds. Once connected, the LED on the receiver will go solid indicating the system
is connected.
EN
5. Remove the bind plug from the BIND/DATA port on the receiver before you power off the
transmitter and store it in a convenient place.
6. After you’ve set up your model, it’s important to rebind the system so the true low throttle and
neutral control surface positions are set.
IMPORTANT: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time the
power is turned on.
AR6115/AR6115e Failsafe
• Prevents unintentional electric motor response on start-up.
• Establishes low-throttle failsafe if the RF signal is lost.
• The AR6115(e) removes servo output pulses to all channels except the throttle channel during
failsafe.
• The AR6115(e) throttle failsafe position is stored via the throttle stick position on the transmitter
during binding.
HOW AR6115/AR6115e FAILSAFE WORKS
Receiver Power Only
• In electric aircraft, when the receiver only is turned on (no transmitter signal is present), the throttle
channel has no output, to avoid operating or arming the electronic speed control.
• In glow-powered models, the throttle servo receives no input so it remains in its current position.
Note: Some analog servos may coast slightly even though no signal is present. This is normal.
• All other channels are driven to their preset failsafe positions set during binding.
After Connection
• When the transmitter is turned on, and after the receiver connects to the transmitter, normal control
of all channels occurs.
• After the system makes a connection, if loss of signal occurs, the AR6115(e) Failsafe drives the
throttle servo only to its preset failsafe position (low throttle) that was set during binding.
• All other channels hold their last commanded position. When the signal is regained, the system
immediately (less than 4ms) regains control.
Plugging in the Leads
Plug the servo leads into the appropriate servo ports in the receiver noting the polarity of the
servo connector.
Red LED Hold Indicator
The AR6115/AR6115e features a red LED that indicates the number of holds that have occurred since
the receiver was last powered on. The LED will flash the number of holds then pause (e.g., flash,
flash, flash, pause, flash, flash, flash, pause indicates three holds occurred since the receiver was last
turned on). Note that holds are reset to zero when the receiver is turned off. During the first flights of a
new airplane, it’s recommended to check the red LED hold indicator. If it’s flashing, it’s important to
optimize the installation (move or reposition antennas) until no hold occurs. On later flights, the LED
Hold Indicator can be used to confirm RF link performance.
Range Testing
Before each flying session and especially with a new model, it is important to perform a range check.
All Spektrum aircraft transmitters incorporate a range testing system which, when activated, reduces
the output power, allowing a range check.
30 paces (90 feet/28 meters)
Pull and hold the Trainer Switch
1. With the model restrained on the ground, stand 30 paces (approx. 90 feet/28 meters) away
from the model.
EN
2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position and place your transmitter
into range check mode.
3. You should have total control of the model with the button depressed at 30 paces (90 feet/28 meters).
4. If control issues exist, call the appropriate product support department.
Receiver Power System Requirements
Inadequate power systems that are unable to provide the necessary minimum voltage to the receiver
during flight have become the number one cause of in-flight failures. Some of the power system
components that affect the ability to properly deliver adequate power include:
• Receiver battery pack (number of cells, capacity, cell type, state of charge)
• The ESC’s capability to deliver current to the receiver in electric aircraft
• The switch harness, battery leads, servo leads, regulators etc.
The AR6115/AR6115e has a minimum operational voltage of 3.5 volts; it is highly recommended the
power system be tested per the guidelines below.
Recommended Power System Test Guidelines
If a questionable power system is being used (e.g. small or old battery, ESC that may not have a BEC
that will support high-current draw, etc.), it is recommended that a voltmeter be used to perform the
following tests.
Note: The Hangar 9® Digital Servo & Rx Current Meter (HAN172) or the Spektrum Flight Log
(SPM9540) are the perfect tools to perform the test below.
P lug the voltmeter into an open channel port in the receiver and with the system on, load the
control surfaces (apply pressure with your hand) while monitoring the voltage at the receiver. The
voltage should remain above 4.8 volts even when all servos are heavily loaded.
Note: The latest generations of Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries incorporate a new chemistry
mandated to be more environmentally friendly. These batteries when charged with peak detection
fast chargers have tendencies to false peak (not fully charge) repeatedly. These include all brands
of NiMH batteries. If using NiMH packs, be especially cautious when charging, making absolutely
sure that the battery is fully charged. It is recommended to use a charger that can display total
charge capacity. Note the number of mAh put into a discharged pack to verify it has been
charged to full capacity.
QuickConnect™ With Brownout Detection
(Brownout Detection not available with DSMX)
Your AR6115/AR6115e features QuickConnect with Brownout Detection.
(Brownout Detection not available with DSMX)
• Should an interruption of power occur (brownout), the system will reconnect immediately when
power is restored (QuickConnect).
• The LED on the receiver will flash slowly indicating a power interruption (brownout) has occurred.
(DSM2 Only)
• Brownouts can be caused by an inadequate power supply (weak battery or regulator), a loose
connector, a bad switch, an inadequate BEC when using an electronic speed controller, etc.
• Brownouts occur when the receiver voltage drops below 3.5 volts thus interrupting control as the
servos and receiver require a minimum of 3.5 volts to operate.
How QuickConnect™ Works
• When the receiver voltage drops below 3.5 volts the system drops out (ceases to operate).
• When power is restored the receiver immediately attempts to reconnect.
• If the transmitter was left on, the system reconnects typically within a second.
QuickConnect is designed to allow you to fly safely through most short duration power interruptions;
however, the root cause of these interruptions must be corrected before the next flight to prevent
catastrophic safety issues.
Note: If a brownout occurs in-flight it is vital that the cause of the brownout be determined and
corrected.
EN
Flight Log (SPM9540 Optional)
The Flight Log is compatible with the AR6115(e). The Flight Log displays overall RF link performance
as well as the individual internal and external receiver link data. Additionally it displays receiver
voltage.
Using the Flight Log
After a flight and before turning off the receiver or transmitter, plug the Flight Log into the Data
port on the AR6115(e). The screen will automatically display voltage e.g. 6v2= 6.2 volts.
Note: When the voltage reaches 4.8 volts or less, the screen will flash indicating low voltage.

Frame loss
Holds
Antenna fades—represents the loss of a bit of information on that specific antenna. Typically it’s
normal to have as many as 50 to 100 antenna fades during a flight. If any single antenna experiences
over 500 fades in a single flight, the antenna should be repositioned in the aircraft to optimize
the RF link.
Frame loss—represents simultaneous antenna fades on all attached receivers. If the RF link
is performing optimally, frame losses per flight should be less than 20. A hold occurs when 45
consecutive frame losses occur. This takes about one second. If a hold occurs during a flight, it’s
important to evaluate the system, moving the antennas to different locations and/or checking to
be sure the transmitter and receivers are all working correctly.
Note: A servo extension can be used to allow the Flight Log to be plugged in more conveniently.
On some models, the Flight Log can be plugged in, attached and left on the model using doublesided tape. Mounting the Flight Log conveniently to the side frame is common with helicopters.
Tips on Using Spektrum 2.4GHz
ModelMatch™
Some Spektrum and JR transmitters offer a patent pending feature called ModelMatch.
ModelMatch prevents the possibility of operating a model using the wrong model memory,
potentially preventing a crash. With ModelMatch each model memory has its own unique code
(GUID) and during the binding process the code is programmed into the receiver. Later, when the
system is turned on, the receiver will only connect to the transmitter if the corresponding model
memory is programmed on screen.
Note: If at any time you turn on the system and it fails to connect, check to be sure the correct
model memory is selected in the transmitter. Please note that the DX5e and Aircraft Modules
do not have ModelMatch.
While your DSM equipped 2.4GHz system is intuitive to operate, functioning nearly identically to
72MHz systems, following are a few common questions from customers.
1. Q: Which do I turn on first, the transmitter or the receiver?
A: If the receiver is turned on first­—all servos except for the throttle will be driven to their preset
failsafe positions set during binding. At this time the throttle channel doesn’t output a pulse
position preventing the arming of electronic speed controllers, or in the case of an engine
powered aircraft, the throttle servo remains in its current position. When the transmitter is
then turned on the transmitter scans the 2.4GHz band and acquires two open channels. Then
the receiver that was previously bound to the transmitter scans the band and finds the GUID
(Globally Unique Identifier code) stored during binding. The system then connects and
operates normally.
If the transmitter is turned on first—the transmitter scans the 2.4GHz band and acquires two
open channels. (When the receiver is then turned on, for a short period (the time it takes to
connect) all servos except for the throttle are driven to their preset failsafe positions while the
throttle has no output pulse.) The receiver scans the 2.4GHz band looking for the previously
stored GUID and when it locates the specific GUID code and confirms uncorrupted repeatable
EN
packet information, the system connects and normal operation takes place. Typically this takes
2 to 6 seconds.
2. Q: S
ometimes the system takes longer to connect and sometimes it doesn’t connect
at all?
A: In order for the system to connect (after the receiver is bound) the receiver must receive a large
number of consecutive uninterrupted perfect packets from the transmitter. This process is
purposely critical of the environment ensuring that it’s safe to fly when the system does connect.
If the transmitter is too close to the receiver (less than 4 ft) or if the transmitter is located near
metal objects (metal TX case, the bed of a truck, the top of a metal work bench, etc.) connection
will take longer and in some cases connection will not occur as the system is receiving reflected
2.4GHz energy from itself and is interpreting this as unfriendly noise. Moving the system away
from metal objects or moving the transmitter away from the receiver and powering the system
again will cause a connection to occur. This only happens during the initial connection. Once
connected the system is locked-in and should a loss of signal occur (failsafe) the system
connects immediately (4ms) when signal is regained.
3. Q: I’ve heard that the DSM system is less tolerant of low voltage. Is that correct?
A: All DSM receivers have an operational voltage range of 3.5 to 9 volts. With most systems this is
not a problem as in fact most servos cease to operate at around 3.8 volts. When using multiple
high-current draw servos with a single or inadequate battery/power source, heavy momentary
loads can cause the voltage to dip below this 3.5-volt threshold thus causing the entire system
(servos and receiver) to brown out. When the voltage drops below the low voltage threshold
(3.5 volts), the DSM receiver must reboot (go through the startup process of scanning the band
and finding the transmitter) and this can take several seconds. Please read the receiver power
requirement section as this explains how to test for and prevent this occurrence.
4.Q: S
ometimes my receiver loses its bind and won’t connect requiring rebinding.
What happens if the bind is lost in flight?
A: T he receiver will never lose its bind unless it’s instructed to. It’s important to understand that
during the binding process the receiver not only learns the GUID (code) of the transmitter but
the transmitter learns and stores the type of receiver that it’s bound to. If the transmitter is placed
into bind mode, the transmitter looks for the binding protocol signal from a receiver. If no signal
is present, the transmitter no longer has the correct information to connect to a specific receiver
and in essence the transmitter has been “unbound” from the receiver. We’ve had several DX7
customers that use transmitter stands or trays that unknowingly depress the bind button and the
system is then turned on losing the necessary information to allow the connection to take place.
We’ve also had DX7 customers that didn’t fully understand the range test process and pushed
the bind button before turning on the transmitter also causing the system to “lose its bind.”

Binden
The AR6115/AR6115e receiver must be bound to the transmitter before it will operate. Binding is
the process of teaching the receiver the specific code of the transmitter so it will only connect to that
specific transmitter.
DE
1. Um den AR6115/AR6115e an einen DSM2 Sender zu binden, stecken Sie den Bindestecker in den
BIND/DATA Port an den Empfänger.
Hinweis: Um ein Flugzeug, dass mit einem BEC System durch einen Fahrtenregler mit
Empfängerstrom versorgt wird zu binden, stecken Sie bitte den Bindestecker in dem BIND/DATA
Port des Empfängers und stecken den Reglerstecker in die GAS / Throttlebuchse. Fahren Sie fort
mit Schritt 2.
2. Schalten Sie den Empfänger ein. Der Empfänger wird blinken und damit anzeigen,
dass er sich im Bindemodus befindet.
3. Bewegen Sie die Knüppel und Schalter in die vorgesehenden Failsafe Positionen (Gas Leerlauf
und neutrale Kontrollen).
4. Folgen Sie den senderspezifischen Anweisungen zum Binden und das System wird sich innerhalb
kurzer Zeit binden. Ist das System verbunden leuchtet die LED dauerhaft.
DE
5. Entfernen Sie den Bindestecker und heben Sie ihn an einem sicheren Ort auf.
6. Wenn alle Einstellungen am Modell und Sender vorgenomen sind, binden Sie das System erneut,
dass alle Änderungen gespeichert werden.
Wichtig: Bitte entfernen Sie nach dem Bindevorgang den Bindestecker, sonst wird das System bei
dem nächsten Einschalten den Bindevorgang erneut ausführen.
AR6115/AR6115e Failsafe
• Verhindert ungewolltes Anlaufen lassen des Motors
• S teuert den Motor bei Signalverlust auf Leerlauf (wenn das bei dem Bindevorgang als
Failsafeposition so eingestellt wurde)
• Steuert im Failsafefall bis auf das Throttle Servo kein weiteres Servo an.
Ist nur der Empfänger eingeschaltet:
• In elektrisch angetriebenen Flugzeugen, ist wenn der Empfänger eingeschaltet wird aber kein
Sendersignal vorhanden ist, der Gaskanal ohne Funktion um ein ungewolltes Anlaufen lassen
des Motors zu vermeiden.
• In Flugzeugen die mit einem Verbrenner Motor angetrieben werden, ist das Gasservo ohne
Funktion und verbleibt in seiner Position.
Hinweis: Einige analoge Servos können sich hierbei etwas bewegen, das ist normal.
• Alle anderen Kanäle werden in die voreingestellte ausfallsichere Position versetzt,
die bei der Bindung programmiert wurde.
Nach Verbindung
• Wird der Sender eingeschaltet und hat sich mit dem Empfänger verbunden besteht eine norme
Verbindung und volle Kontrolle über alle Servos.
• Ist das System verbunden und es tritt ein Signalverlust auf, fährt die AR6115(e)Failsafe das Gas
Servo in die programmierte Fail Safe Funktion, die während dem Binden programmiert wurde.
• Alle anderen Kanäle halten ihre Position. Ist das Signal wieder da, verbindet sich das System
unverzüglich ( innerhalb 4ms) und sie haben wieder volle Kontrolle über das Modell.
Verbinden mit den Servoanschlüssen
Bitte stecken Sie die Servoanschlüsse in die dafür vorgesehenden Buchsen und achten dabei
auf die Polarität.
LED Hold Indikator
Der AR6115/AR6115e ist mit einer roten Leuchtdiode ausgestattet die die Anzahl der Holds anzeigt,
die seit dem letzten Einschalten aufgetreten sind. Die LED zeigt die Anzahl der Hold durch Blinken an.
Nach der Anzahl der Holds erfolgt eine Pause. Diese stellt sich wie folgt dar: blink, blink, blink, pause,
blink, blink, blink. In diesem Fall werden drei Holds angezeigt. Bitte berücksichtigen Sie, dass bei
dem Ausschalten die Anzeige auf Null zurück gestellt wird. Während der ersten Flüge mit einem neuen
Flugzeug raten wir dringend an den Hold Indikator zu überprüfen. Blinkt er, ist es zwingend notwendig
die Position der Antennen / des Empfänger zu optimieren bis keine Holds mehr auftreten. Bei späteren
Flügen kann die LED zu Überprüfung der RF Performance eingesetzt werden.
Reichweitentest
Vor dem Start jeder Flugsaison oder jedem Erstflug ist es wichtig einen Reichweitentest
durchzuführen. Alle Spektrumsender sind dazu mit dieser Funktion ausgestattet. Ist diese Funktion
am Sender aktiviert, reduziert sich die Sendeleistung so das der Test bequem am Boden durchgeführt
werden kann.

Anforderungen an die Empfängerstromversorgung
Nicht ausreichende Empfängerstromversorgung ist einer der Hauptursachen von Störungen oder
Abstürzen. Folgende Komponenten müssen hierbei berücksichtigt werden:
• Empfängerakku (Zellenanzahl, Kapazität, Zelltyp, Alter, Ladezustand)
• Schalter, Akkuanschlüsse und Regler etc.
• Das Regler BEC kann für die Anzahl der Servos zu schwach sein.
Der AR6115 /AR6115e benötigt eine Mindestspannung von 3,5 Volt. Wir raten dringend an, diese mit
den folgenden Richtlinien zur Überprüfung der Empfängerstromversorgung zu testen.
Überprüfung der Empfängerstromversorgung
Sollten Zweifel an der Leistungsfähigkeit der Empfängerstromversorgung bestehen (evtl. durch alte
oder schwache Empfängerakkus) kann dieses mit einem Voltmeter oder mit dem Spektrum Flight Log
(SPM9540) überprüft werden.
Schließen Sie das Flight Log an einem freien Kanal am Empfänger an. Schalten Sie die Anlage ein
und bewegen Sie die Servos. Geben Sie mit der Hand etwas Widerstand auf die Servobewegungen
und achten dabei auf die Voltangabe auf dem Flightlog. Die Spannung sollte, wenn alle Servos unter
Last sind, nicht unter 4,8 Volt fallen.
Hinweis: Die neueste Generation von NiMh Zellen haben geänderte (mehr umweltfreundliche)
Inhaltstoffe. Diese Akkus neigen bei dem Peak Schnell- Ladeverfahren dazu falsche Peak Angaben
dem Ladegerät mitzuteilen und somit nicht ganz voll geladen zu werden. Dieses kann alle Marken
von neuesten NiMh Zellen betreffen. Wenn Sie also NiMh Zellen verwenden, stellen Sie bitte immer
sicher, dass diese Zellen auch voll geladen sind. Wir empfehlen hier, um ganz sicher zu gehen,
Ladegeräte zu verwenden, die die geladene mA Menge anzeigen.
QuickConnect™ mit Spannungsabfalldetektion
(Spannungsabfall-Erkennung beim DSMX nicht verfügbar)
Ihr AR6115/AR6115e ist mit einem QuickConnect mit Spannungsabfalldetektion ausgestattet
(Spannungsabfall-Erkennung beim DSMX nicht verfügbar).
• Sollte eine Unterbrechung der Stromversorgung (Brownout) stattfinden, wird sich das System
unverzüglich wieder neu binden (QuickConnect)
• Die LED im Empfänger blinkt danach langsam, um die Unterbrechung der Stromversorgung
(Brownout) anzuzeigen (DSM2 nur).
• Unterbrechungen der Stromversorgung können u. a. durch schwache Empfängerakkus,
Wackelkontakte, oder ein nicht ausreichendes BEC System ausgelöst werden.
• Ein Spannungsabfall tritt ein, wenn der Empfängerstrom unter 3,5 Volt fällt.
So arbeitet das Quick Connect
• Das System wird inaktiv wenn die Empfängerstromversorgung unter 3,5 Volt fällt.
• Wenn die Stromversorgung umgespeichert ist, wird sich der Empfänger unverzüglich
wieder neu binden.
• Wenn der Sender angelassen ist, wird sich das System in einer Sekunde wieder neu binden.
Quick Connect wurde entwickelt um einen sicheren Flug auch bei kurzzeitigen Spannungsabfällen
zu gewährleisten. Sollten diese auftreten ist die Ursache zur Gefahrenabwehr vor dem nächsten
Flug zu beseitigen.

Flight Log (SPM9540 Optional)
Spektrums Flight Log ist kompatibel mit dem AR6115(e). Das Flight Log zeichnet die
Gesamtempfangsleistung auf, sowie die Empfangsleistung jeder einzelnen Antenne. Zusätzlich zeigt
das Gerät auch die Empfängerakkuspannung an.
So nutzen Sie das Flight Log:
Schließen Sie den Flight Log nach einem Flug vor dem Ausschalten an dem Data Port des
Power Safe Empfängers an. Das Display wird Ihnen automatisch die Empfängerstromversorgung
anzeigen z. B. 6v2 = 6,2 Volt.
Hinweis: Wenn die Akkuspannung 4.8 Volt oder weniger erreicht fängt das Display an zu blinken
Mit Druck auf den Knopf an der Oberseite können Sie folgende Informationen abrufen:
A - Antennenausblendungen auf der Antenne A
B - Antennenausblendungen auf der Antenne B
L - Antennenausblendungen auf der linken Antenne
F - Frame Losses
H - Holds
Antennen Ausblendungen—steht für den Verlust von einem kleinem Informationsanteil an
dieser Antenne Normal sind 50 bis 100 Ausblendungen pro Flug. Sollte eine Antenne über 500
Ausblendungen in einem Flug anzeigen muß sie neu positioniert werden.
Frame Losses—steht für die gleichzeitige Ausblendung aller Antennen im Flug dar. Arbeitet die HF
Strecke einwandfrei, dürfen nicht mehr als 20 Datenpakete pro Flug verloren gehen.
Hold— tritt ein wenn 45 aufeinanderfolgende Datenblöcke verloren gehen. Diese dauert ca. 1
Sekunde. Wenn ein Hold auftritt, muss das gesamte System sorgfältig geprüft werden. Die Position
der Antennen und die Funktion der Empfänger und des Senders sind zu prüfen
Hinweis: Sie können den Flight Log auch mit einer Servo Verlängerung an einen für Sie gut
zugänglichen Platz montieren. Bei Helikoptern befestigen Sie ihn bitte seitlich am Rahmen. Nutzen Sie
zur Befestigung dickes doppelseitiges Klebeband.
Tips zum Betrieb von Spektrum 2.4 GHz
ModelMatch™
Einige Spektrum und JR Sender bieten die ModellMatch Funktion an. ModelMatch eliminiert die
Möglichkeit, dass ein Modell mit dem falschen Senderspeicherplatz geflogen werden kann. Mit
ModelMatch hat jedes Modell und dazugehöriger Speicherplatz einen eigenen eindeutigen Code
(GUID Globaly Unique Identifier Code) der im Empfänger während des Bindeprozesses gespeichert
wird. Wenn später Sender und Empfänger eingeschaltet werden, wird der Empfänger nur aktiv werden
wenn im Sender der richtige Speicherplatz gewählt ist.
Hinweis: Sollten Sie Sender und Empfänger einschalten und keine Verbindung bekommen,
überprüfen Sie bitte ob Sie den richtigen Speicherplatz gewählt haben. Bitte beachten Sie dass
Spektrum Module nicht mit ModelMatch ausgerüstet sind.
Nachfolgend einige häufig gestellte Fragen zum Umgang mit dem Spektrum 2,4 GHz System.
1. F: Was schalte ich als erstes ein, Sender oder Empfänger?
A: Wenn zuerst der Empfänger ausgeschaltet wird: Alle Servos außer dem für den Gasgeber
werden in ihre voreingestellte ausfallsichere Position gesetzt, die bei der Bindung
programmiert wurde. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt sendet der Gaskanal keine Pulsposition aus, um
eine Scharfschaltung des elektronischen Drehzahlreglers zu verhindern, bzw. im Falle von
Flugzeugen mit Motorantrieb bleibt der Gasservo in seiner derzeitigen Position. Wenn der
Sender dann eingeschaltet wird, scannt er das 2,4-GHz-Band; DSM-Systeme übernehmen
lediglich zwei offene Kanäle, während DSMX-Systeme nach dem Einschalten mit dem Senden
beginnen. Der Empfänger, der vorher an den Sender gebunden wurde, scannt dann das Band
und findet die GUID (global eindeutige ID), die während der Bindung gespeichert wurde. Das
System stellt dann die Verbindung her und funktioniert normal.
Wenn zuerst der Sender eingeschaltet wird: Der Sender scannt das 2,4-GHz-Band; DSM2Systeme übernehmen zwei offene Kanäle, während DSMX-Systeme nach dem Einschalten
mit dem Senden beginnen. Wenn der Empfänger dann für kurze Zeit eingeschaltet wird (lange
DE
genug, um die Verbindung herzustellen), werden alle Servos außer dem für den Gasgeber in
ihre voreingestellte ausfallsichere Position gesetzt, ohne dass der Gasgeber einen Puls ausgibt.
Der Empfänger scannt das 2,4-GHz-Band nach der zuvor gespeicherten GUID. Wenn er den
spezifischen GUID-Code findet und feststellt, dass die wiederholbaren Paketinformationen
intakt sind, stellt das System die Verbindung her und funktioniert normal. Dieser Vorgang
dauert in der Regel 2 bis 6 Sekunden.
2. F: M
anchmal braucht das System länger zum Verbinden, manchmal verbindet es
sich gar nicht.
A: D
amit die Verbindung zwischen Sender und Empfänger (mit einem bereits gebundenen
Empfänger) hergestellt werden kann, muss der Empfänger einen ununterbrochenen Satz
Datensätze vom Sender empfangen. Diese Erstverbindung kann von der Umgebung
beeinflußt werden oder wenn der Sender zu nah(unter 1,20m ) am Empfänger placiert ist.
Metalische Gegenstände / Oberflächen wie z. B. ein Autodach oder eine Alubox können die
Einschaltverbindung durch Reflektion beeinflussen, dass sie länger dauert oder nicht zustande
kommt. Stellen Sie in diesen Fällen den Sender etwas weiter weg vom Modell oder von den
reflektierenden Flächen. Diese gilt nur für das initiale Einschalten, ist die Verbindung gegeben
und ein Loss oder Hold tritt auf, wird sich das System unverzüglich (innerhalb 4ms) wieder
verbinden.
3. F: Ich habe gehört das DSM System ist empfindlicher bei niedrigen Spannungen.
Ist das richtig?
A: Alle DSM Empfänger haben eine Betriebsspannung von 3,5 bis 9,6 Volt. Mit den meisten
Systemen ist das kein Problem, da die meisten Servos eine Spannungsuntergrenze von
3,8 Volt haben. Verwenden Sie mehrere schnelle, kräftige Servos mit entsprechend hohen
Stromverbrauch mit einem ungeeigneten Akku kann im Fall von starker Beanspruchung
die Spannung unter 3,5 Volt fallen und ein Neustart des System nötig machen. Dieser
Neustart benötigt einige Sekunden. Bitte lesen Sie dazu die Anforderungen an die
Empfängerstromversorgung aufmerksam durch um das zu testen und so einen Fall zu
vermeiden.
4.F: Manchmal verliert der der Empfänger seine Bindung und verbindet sich auch
nicht erneut. Was ist wenn so etwas im Flug passiert?
A: Der Empfänger wird niemals unaufgefordert die Bindung verlieren. Es ist wichtig zu verstehen,
dass während des Bindeprozesses der Empfänger nicht nur den GUID Code übermittelt
bekommt, der Sender kennt und speichert auch den Typ des Empfängers der dazugehört. Wenn
sich der Sender im Bindemodus befindet sucht er das Binde Protokoll Signal des Empfängers.
Ist kein Signal vorhanden, hat der Sender nicht mehr die empfängerspezifische Information
und als Ergebnis dessen ist der Empfänger nicht mehr mit dem Sender gebunden. Es gibt
einige DX7 Kunden die ungeeignete Senderpulte benutzt haben, die durch das Einsetzen des
Senders den Bindeknopf drücken und somit den oben beschriebenen Prozess in Gang gesetzt
haben. Andere DX7 Kunden haben leider den Vorgang des Reichweitentest falsch ausgeführt
und vor dem Einschalten den Bindeknopf gedrück und somit die Verbindung verloren. Alters
Empfehlung: 14 Jahre oder älter. Das ist kein Spielzeug. Dieses Produkt ist nicht geeignet für
Kinder ohne direkte Aufsicht ihrer Eltern.

Installation du récepteur
AR6115 monté dans l’avion
Dans les aéronefs à moteur électrique, il est conseillé d’utiliser du ruban adhésif double face pour
maintenir le AR6115/AR6115e dans une position recommandée par le fabricant de l’aéronef.
AR6115 monté dans un hélicoptère
Dans les hélicoptères à moteur électrique, il est conseillé d’utiliser du ruban adhésif double face pour
maintenir le AR6115/AR6115e dans une position qui place le récepteur aussi loin que possible du
moteur et du CEV (contrôleur électronique de vitesse).
Important: Câbles Y et extensions servo
Lorsque vous utilisez des câbles Y ou des extensions servo pour votre installation, il est essentiel
d’utiliser des câbles Y et des extensions servo standard et non amplifiés, sans quoi les servos
fonctionneront de manière aléatoire (voire pas du tout). Les câbles Y amplifiés ont été développés il
y a quelques années déjà pour augmenter le signal de certains anciens systèmes PCM. Ils ne doivent
pas être utilisés avec du matériel Spektrum. Veuillez noter que, lorsque vous rééquipez un modèle
existant avec du matériel Spektrum, vous devez vous assurer que tous les câbles Y et/ou toutes les
extensions servo amplifiés sont remplacés par des versions conventionnelles non amplifiées.
Affectation
Avant de pouvoir fonctionner, le récepteur AR6115/AR6115e doit être affecté à l’émetteur. L’affectation
est le processus qui apprend au récepteur le code spécifique de l’émetteur, de sorte qu’il se connecte
uniquement à cet émetteur.
FR
1. Pour affecter un AR6115/AR6115e à un émetteur DSM2, il faut brancher la prise d’affectation sur le
port BIND/DATA du récepteur.
A noter: Pour affecter un aéronef avec un contrôleur électronique de vitesse qui alimente le
récepteur via le canal des gaz (ESC/BEC), il faut brancher la prise d’affectation sur le port BIND/
DATA du récepteur et le raccordement de la commande des gaz sur le port de commande des
gaz (THRO). Passez à l’étape #2.
2. Alimentez le récepteur. Notez que la DEL située sur le récepteur doit clignoter, indiquant ainsi qu’il
est en mode affectation et prêt à être affecté à l’émetteur.
3. Déplacez les manettes et interrupteurs de l’émetteur pour les amener dans les positions de sécurité
désirées (gaz bas et position neutre des commandes).
4. Respectez les procédures spécifiques à votre émetteur pour aller en mode affectation, le système se
connectera en quelques secondes. Une fois la connexion établie, la DEL du récepteur reste allumée,
indiquant que le système est connecté.
FR
5. Retirez la prise d’affectation du port BIND/DATA du récepteur avant d’éteindre l’émetteur et rangezla dans un endroit approprié.
6. Après avoir préparé votre modèle, il est important de réaffecter le système de façon à ce que les
vraies positions de” gaz bas” et de neutre des surfaces de commandes soient réglées.
IMPORTANT: Retirez la prise d’affectation pour éviter que le système n’entre à nouveau en mode
affectation lors de la prochaine mise en marche de l’alimentation.
Sécurité intégrée AR6115/AR6115e
• Evite une réponse non intentionnelle du moteur électrique au démarrage.
• Met en place une sécurité “gaz bas” en cas de perte du signal RF.
• En mode sécurisé, le AR6110(e) supprime les impulsions de sortie servo vers toutes les voies à
l’exception de celle des gaz.
• La position de sécurité des gaz du AR6110(e) est mémorisée au niveau de l’émetteur par le biais
de la position de la manette des gaz lors de l’affectation.
FONCTIONNEMENT DE LA SECURITE INTEGREE AR6115/AR6115e
Fonctionnement du récepteur seul
• Sur les aéronefs à moteur électrique, la voie des gaz n’a pas de signal de sortie lorsque le récepteur
est seul à fonctionner (absence de signal de l’émetteur), ceci afin d’éviter le fonctionnement ou
l’armement de la commande électronique de vitesse.
• Sur les aéronefs à moteur à incandescence, le servo des gaz ne reçoit pas d’entrée et reste ainsi
dans sa position actuelle.
A noter: Certains servos analogiques peuvent se déplacer légèrement même en l’absence
d’un signal, ce qui est normal.
• Toutes les autres voies sont amenées dans leurs positions de sécurité intégrée préréglées
lors de l’affectation.
Après la connexion
• Le contrôle normal de tous les canaux se produit lorsque l’émetteur est allumé et que le
récepteur se connecte à l’émetteur.
• Après la connexion du système, et en cas de perte de signal, la sécurité intégrée du AR6115(e)
ramène le servo des gaz, et lui seul, dans sa position de sécurité (gaz bas) définie lors
de l’affectation.
• Toutes les autres voies conservent leur dernière position. Lorsque le signal est retrouvé, le système
reprend le contrôle immédiatement (en moins de 4 ms).
Branchement des raccordements
Branchez les raccordements des servos dans les ports de servo appropriés du récepteur en tenant
compte de la polarité du connecteur de servo.
Indicateur d’interruptions à DEL rouge
Le AR6115/AR6115e comporte une DEL rouge indiquant le nombre d’interruptions qui sont
survenues depuis la dernière mise en fonction du récepteur. La DEL clignotera pour indiquer le
nombre d’interruptions, puis s’arrêtera (p. ex. 3 clignotements, arrêt, 3 clignotements, arrêt indique
que trois interruptions se sont produites depuis la dernière mise en marche du récepteur). Notez que
les interruptions sont remises à zéro lorsque l’on éteint le récepteur. Il est conseillé de contrôler la
DEL rouge d’indication d’interruption pendant les premiers vols d’un nouvel avion. Si elle clignote,
il est important d’optimiser l’installation (déplacer ou repositionner les antennes) jusqu’à ce qu’il
ne se produise plus d’interruption. Au cours des vols ultérieurs, il est possible d’utiliser la DEL
d’indication d’interruptions pour confirmer l’efficacité du lien RF.
Essai de portée
Il est important de procéder à un contrôle de portée avant chaque vol, en particulier avec un nouveau
modèle. Tous les émetteurs pour aéronefs Spektrum disposent d’un système de contrôle de portée
intégré qui, lorsqu’il est activé, réduit la puissance de sortie et permet ainsi un contrôle de portée.
FR

Spécifications pour le système d’alimentation du récepteur
Les systèmes d’alimentation inadaptés et incapables de fournir la tension minimale requise
au récepteur en vol sont devenus la première cause de défaillances en vol. Quelques-uns des
composants du système d’alimentation affectant la capacité à fournir correctement l’alimentation
appropriée sont énumérés ci-après:
• Pack de batteries du récepteur (nombre de batteries, capacité, type de batterie, état de charge)
• La capacité du contrôleur électronique de vitesse à fournir du courant au récepteur sur les aéronefs
à moteur électrique
• Le câble d’interrupteur, les raccordements des batteries, les raccordements des servos, les
régulateurs, etc.
La tension opérationnelle minimale du AR6115/AR6115e est de 3,5 volts ; il est fortement
recommandé de tester le système d’alimentation d’après les directives ci-après.
Recommandations pour le test du système d’alimentation
En cas d’utilisation d’un système d’alimentation douteux (par exemple batterie petite ou usagée,
contrôleur électronique de vitesse n’ayant pas de BEC tolérant un fort appel de courant, etc.), nous
recommandons d’utiliser un voltmètre pour effectuer les tests suivants.
Nota: Le Hangar 9® Digital Servo & Rx Current Meter (HAN172) ou le Spektrum Flight Log
(SPM9540) sont des outils parfaits pour effectuer le test ci-dessous.
B ranchez le voltmètre sur un port de voie libre. Le système étant en marche, sollicitez les surfaces
de commande en appliquant une pression avec la main tout en contrôlant la tension au niveau
du récepteur. La tension doit rester au-dessus de 4,8 volts même lorsque tous les servos sont
fortement sollicités.
Nota: Les dernières générations de batteries hybrides nickel/métal (NiMH) intègrent un nouveau
mélange chimique, imposé en vue du respect de l’environnement. Lorsqu’elles sont chargées
avec des chargeurs rapides à détection de pics, elles ont tendance à faire de faux pics (charge
incomplète) de manière répétée. Cela vaut pour toutes les marques de batteries NiMH. Si vous
utilisez des packs de batteries NiMH, soyez particulièrement vigilant lors de la charge et assurezvous que la batterie est bien complètement chargée. Nous recommandons d’utiliser un chargeur
affichant la capacité totale de charge. Notez la quantité de mAh mise dans un pack déchargé afin de
vérifier qu’il a bien été chargé à pleine capacité.
Système QuickConnect™ (Détection de perte de tension non disponible avec DSMX)
Votre AR6115/AR6115e est équipé du système QuickConnect à détection de perte de tension.
(Détection de perte de tension non disponible avec DSMX).
• En cas d’interruption de l’alimentation (perte de tension), le système se reconnecte immédiatement
lorsque l’alimentation est rétablie (QuickConnect).
• La DEL du récepteur clignote lentement pour indiquer qu’il y a eu une interruption de l’alimentation
(perte de tension) (DSM2 seulement).
FR
• Les pertes de tension peuvent être provoquées par une alimentation inadaptée (batterie ou
régulateur faible), un connecteur mal branché, un mauvais interrupteur, un BEC inadapté en cas
d’utilisation d’un contrôleur électronique de vitesse, etc.
• Les pertes de tension se produisent lorsque la tension du récepteur passe en dessous de 3,5 volts,
ce qui interrompt les commandes puisque les servos et le récepteur requièrent un minimum de 3,5
volts pour fonctionner.
Fonctionnement du système QuickConnect™
• Lorsque la tension du récepteur chute en dessous de 3,5 volts, le système se met en défaut
(cesse de fonctionner).
• Una volta che il voltaggio viene ristabilito la ricevente tenterà di riconnettersi immediatamente.
• Se la trasmittente sarà ancora accesa il sistema dovrebbe riconnettersi in circa un secondo.
Le système QuickConnect a été conçu pour vous permettre de voler pendant la plupart des
interruptions d’alimentation de courte durée; néanmoins, la cause de ces interruptions doit être
corrigée avant le prochain vol afin d’éviter des problèmes de sécurité catastrophiques.
A noter: Si une perte de tension se produit en vol, il est impératif d’en déterminer
la cause et d’y remédier.
Flight Log (SPM9540 facultatif)
Le Spektrum Flight Log (SPM9540) est compatible avec le AR6115(e). Le Flight Log affiche les
performances de liaison RF d’ensemble mais aussi, individuellement, les données de liaison de
chacun des récepteurs internes et externes. Outre cela, il affiche la tension du récepteur.
Utilisation du Flight Log
Après un vol et avant de couper le récepteur ou l’émetteur, connectez le Flight Log au port Data du
PowerSafe. L’écran affichera automatiquement la tension, par exemple 6v2 = 6,2 volts.
A noter: Lorsque la tension tombe à 4,8 volts ou moins, l’écran clignotera pour signaler une tension
faible. Appuyez sur le bouton pour afficher les informations suivantes:
A - Affaiblissements d’antenne sur l’antenne A
B - Affaiblissements d’antenne sur l’antenne B
L - Affaiblissements d’antenne sur l’antenne gauche
F - Apparition d’interruptions
H - Interruptions
Les affaiblissements d’antenne—représentent la perte d’un bit d’information sur l’antenne
concernée. Au cours d’un vol, il est normal qu’il se produise, typiquement, jusqu’à 50 à 100
affaiblissements d’antenne. Si une même antenne subit plus de 500 affaiblissements au cours
d’un même vol, il faudra repositionner l’antenne dans l’aéronef afin d’optimiser la liaison RF.
Apparition d’interruptions—représente des affaiblissements d’antenne simultanés sur tous les
récepteurs connectés. Si la liaison RF fonctionne de façon optimale, les apparitions d’interruptions
ne devraient pas dépasser les 20 par vol. Les affaiblissements d’antenne ayant produit l’apparition
d’interruptions sont enregistrés et seront ajoutées au nombre total d’affaiblissements d’antenne.
Interruption —On a une interruption en cas d’apparition de 45 interruptions consécutives. Ceci
prend de l’ordre de une seconde. En cas d’apparition d’une interruption au cours d’un vol, il est
important de réévaluer le système en déplaçant les antennes pour les mettre à différents endroits
et/ou de vérifier que l’émetteur et les récepteurs fonctionnent tous correctement. Les apparitions
d’interruption ayant produit l’interruption ne sont pas ajoutées au nombre total
d’affaiblissements d’antenne.
A noter: On pourra utiliser une extension servo pour rendre plus facile le branchement du Flight Log
sans avoir à enlever le capot ou la verrière de l’avion. On pourra, sur certains modèles, brancher le
Flight Log, l’attacher et le laisser en place sur le modèle en utilisant de l’adhésif double face.
Il est courant, sur les hélicoptères, de monter le Flight Log sur la structure latérale.

Conseils pour l’utilisation de Spektrum 2,4 GHz
ModelMatch™
Certains émetteurs Spektrum et JR proposent une fonction (brevet en instance) appelée
ModelMatch. ModelMatch empêche la possibilité de faire fonctionner un modèle en utilisant
une mémoire de modèle erronée, évitant, potentiellement, un crash (écrasement au sol).
Avec ModelMatch, chaque mémoire de modèle dispose d’un code unique propre (GUID), qui
est programmé dans le récepteur lors du processus d’affectation. Lorsque le système est mis en
marche ultérieurement, le récepteur se connectera à l’émetteur uniquement si la mémoire
de modèle correspondante est programmée à l’écran.
À noter: Si, à quelque moment que ce soit, le système ne se connecte pas lorsque vous
l’allumez, assurez-vous que la mémoire de modèle correcte est bien sélectionnée au niveau de
l’émetteur. Veuillez noter que le DX5e et les modules Aircraft ne disposent pas de ModelMatch.
Bien que votre système 2,4 GHz à technologie DSM soit très intuitif et qu’il fonctionne presque
comme les systèmes 72 MHz, vous trouverez ci-dessus quelques questions fréquentes de clients.
1. Q: Dois-je d’abord allumer l’émetteur ou le récepteur ?
R: Si le récepteur est allumé en premier, tous les servos à l’exception de celui des gaz sont
amenés à la position de sécurité intégrée définie pendant l’affectation. À ce moment, il n’y a
aucune impulsion de sortie sur la voie des gaz, ce qui empêche l’armement des contrôleurs
électroniques de vitesse. Dans le cas d’un appareil à moteur, le servo des gaz reste dans la
position dans laquelle il se trouve. Lorsque l’émetteur est allumé, il scanne la bande 2,4 GHz. Les
systèmes DSM n’acquièrent que deux voies libres tandis que les systèmes DSMX commenceront
à émettre après avoir été allumés. Ensuite, le récepteur précédemment affecté à la radio balaie
la bande et trouve le code GUID (Globally Unique IDentifier) mémorisé pendant l’affectation. Le
système se connecte alors et fonctionne normalement.
Si l’émetteur est allumé en premier, il scanne la bande 2,4 GHz. Les systèmes DSM2 acquièrent
deux voies libres tandis que les systèmes DSMX commenceront à émettre après avoir été allumés.
Lorsque le récepteur est alors mis en marche et pour une courte période (le temps qu’il se
connecte), tous les servos à l’exception de celui des gaz sont amenés à leurs positions de sécurité
intégrée prédéfinies tandis que le servo des gaz n’a pas d’impulsion de sortie. Le récepteur scanne
la bande 2,4 GHz et recherche le GUID précédemment mémorisé. Quand il le localise et qu’il
confirme les informations de paquet répétables et non corrompues, le système se connecte et
fonctionne normalement. Cette opération demande en général 2 à 6 secondes.
2. Q: L e système prend parfois plus de temps pour se connecter et parfois ne se
connecte pas du tout.
R: Afin d’assurer la connexion du système (après l’affectation du récepteur), le récepteur doit
recevoir une quantité importante de paquets parfaits et ininterrompus de la part de l’émetteur. Ce
processus est intentionnellement critique par rapport à l’environnement, assurant ainsi que le
vol sera sûr lorsque le système se connecte. Si l’émetteur est trop proche du récepteur (moins
de 1,20 m) ou si l’émetteur se trouve près d’objets en métal (valise en métal de l’émetteur,
plateau d’un véhicule, haut métallique d’un établi, etc.), la connexion prendra plus de temps et
ne s’effectuera pas dans certains cas, le système recevant sa propre énergie à 2,4 GHz réfléchie
et l’interprétant comme un bruit indésirable. La connexion s’établira si l’on éloigne le système
des objets en métal ou si l’on éloigne l’émetteur du récepteur et que l’on remet le système en
marche. Cela arrive uniquement lors de la connexion initiale. Une fois connecté, le système est
verrouillé. En cas de perte de signal (sécurité intégrée), le système se connecte immédiatement
(4 ms) lorsqu’il retrouve le signal.
3. Q: J’ai entendu dire que le système DSM tolérait moins les tensions basses.
Est-ce vrai ?
R: Tous les récepteurs DSM ont une plage de tension opérationnelle comprise entre 3,5 et 9 volts.
Ce n’est pas un problème avec la plupart des systèmes, puisqu’en fait presque tous les servos
cessent de fonctionner aux environs de 3,8 volts. En cas d’utilisation de servos multiples à fort
appel de courant avec une batterie/source d’alimentation unique ou inadaptée, les fortes charges
momentanées peuvent faire chuter la tension en dessous de ce seuil de 3,5 volts et provoquer
ainsi une perte de tension sur l’ensemble du système (servos et récepteur). Lorsque la tension
chute en dessous du seuil de tension basse (3,5 volts), le récepteur DSM doit se réinitialiser
(repasser par le processus de démarrage, c.-à-d. scanner la bande et trouver le récepteur).
Cela peut prendre plusieurs secondes. Veuillez lire la section relative aux spécifications
d’alimentation du récepteur, qui explique comment effectuer les tests et prévenir cet incident.
FR
4.Q: Parfois, mon récepteur perd son affectation et ne se connecte pas, m’obligeant à
une réaffectation. Que se passe t’il si je perds l’affectation en vol ?
R: Sauf instructions contraires, le récepteur ne perdra jamais son affectation. Il faut comprendre
que, lors du processus d’affectation, le récepteur n’apprend pas seulement le code (GUID) de
l’émetteur, mais que l’émetteur apprend et mémorise aussi le type de récepteur auquel il est
affecté. Lorsque l’on met l’émetteur en mode affectation, il recherche le signal de protocole
d’affectation d’un récepteur. En l’absence de signal, l’émetteur ne dispose plus des informations
correctes pour se connecter à un récepteur précis et est donc, en substance, « désaffecté » du
récepteur. Nous avons eu de nombreux clients DX7 qui utilisaient des béquilles ou des bacs
pour les émetteurs, lesquels ont enfoncé le bouton d’affectation sans que les clients le sachent.
Le système se met alors en route et perd les informations nécessaires à l’établissement de la
connexion. Nous avons également eu des clients DX7 qui ne comprenaient pas complètement
la procédure de test de portée et qui enfonçaient le bouton d’affectation avant d’allumer le
récepteur, ce qui entraînait également une « perte d’affectation » du système.

Installazione del ricevitore
L’AR6115 installato su un aereo
Si raccomanda di fissare il ricetrasmettitore AR6115/AR6115e sugli aeromodelli elettrici nella
posizione consigliata dai produttori del velivolo utilizzando un nastro biadesivo in schiuma.
L’AR6115 installato su un elicottero
Si raccomanda di fissare il ricetrasmettitore AR6115/AR6115e sugli elicotteri elettrici se possibile lontano
dal motore e dall’ESC utilizzando un nastro biadesivo in schiuma.
Importante: cavi a Y e prolunghe dei servo
Quando si usa un collegamento a Y o delle servo estensioni durante il montaggio è importante usare
dei collegamenti Y standard non-amplificati e delle servo estensioni, in quanto ciò potrà causare un
errato o mancato funzionamento dei servo. I collegamenti a Y amplificati sono stati sviluppati anni fa
per aumentare il segnale per alcuni sistemi PCM vecchi e non dovrebbero essere usati con l’impianto
Spektrum. Notare che quando si converte un altro modello esistente in un modello Spektrum bisogna
accertarsi che tutti i cavi a Y e/o le prolunghe dei servo siano sostituiti con versioni normali
non amplificate.
Collegamento
Effettuare il binding del ricevitore AR6115/AR6115e con il trasmettitore prima di farlo funzionare.
il binding è il processo con cui viene attribuito al ricevitore un codice specifico da parte del
trasmettitore in modo che possa essere collegato solo con quel trasmettitore specifico.
IT
1. Per effettuare il binding di un AR6115/AR6115e a un trasmettitore DSM2 bisogna inserire lo spinotto
di bind nella porta BIND/DATA del ricevitore.
Nota: Per collegare un aereo ad un controllo elettronico della velocità che alimenta il ricevitore
tramite il canale throttle (ESC/BEC) bisogna inserire il plug di collegamento nella porta BIND/DATA
del ricevitore e il connettore del throttle nella porta del throttle (THRO). Procedere con la fase #2.
2. Alimentare il ricevitore. Notare che il LED sul ricevitore deve lampeggiare per indicare che il
ricevitore si trova in modalità di bind ed è pronto per effettuare il binding con il trasmettitore.
3. Muovere le barre e gli interruttori sul trasmettitore alle posizioni desiderate di fail-safe, ossia prova
di guasto (low throttle e posizioni di controllo del neutro).
4. Seguire le procedure previste per far entrare il trasmettitore specifico nella modalità di bind; il
sistema si connette in pochi secondi. Dopo la connessione, il LED sul ricevitore rimane fisso,
indicando che il sistema è connesso.
IT
5. Rimuovere il plug di collegamento della porta BIND/DATA sul ricevitore prima di staccare
l’alimentazione al trasmettitore, e conservarlo in un luogo sicuro.
6. Dopo aver impostato il vostro modello è importante ricollegare il sistema in modo tale da
impostare il vero low throttle e le posizioni di superficie di controllo del neutro.
IMPORTANTE: Rimuovere il plug di collegamento per evitare che il sistema si avvii nella modalità
di collegamento la prossima volta che verrà riattivata l’alimentazione.
Failsafe AR6115/AR6115e
• Evita una reazione non voluta all’avvio da parte del motore elettrico.
• S tabilisce l’impostazione del throttle (gas) a bassi regimi in caso di intervento della protezione
failsafe (protezione) per perdita del segnale RF.
• In caso di intervento della protezione failsafe, l’AR6115(e) rimuove gli impulsi in uscita del servo in
tutti i canali tranne che nel canale del throttle (gas).
• La posizione del failsafe del throttle di AR6115(e) è memorizzata tramite la posizione della barra
del throttle sul trasmettitore durante il collegamento.
COME FUNZIONA IL FAILSAFE AR6115/AR6115e
Nel caso in cui è acceso solo il ricevitore
• Negli aeromodelli elettrici, quando solo il ricevitore è acceso (non è presente alcun segnale del
trasmettitore) il canale del throttle (gas) non ha alcun segnale in uscita per non utilizzare o attivare
il controllo elettronico della velocità.
• Nei modelli alimentati a miscela con accensione a candela, il servo del throttle (gas) non riceve
nessun segnale in ingresso e rimane quindi nella corrente posizione.
Nota: Alcuni servo analogici possono procedere per inerzia anche se non c’è alcun
segnale. Questo è normale.
• Tutti gli altri canali passeranno alle posizioni impostate durante il collegamento.
Dopo la connessione
• Il controllo di tutti i canali si stabilisce quando il trasmettitore è acceso e il ricevitore si
è collegato al trasmettitore.
• Dopo che il sistema effettua una connessione, se il segnale viene perso, il failsafe di AR6115(e)
pilota il servo del throttle solo alla sua posizione di failsafe preimpostata (low throttle)
durante il collegamento.
• Tutti gli altri canali mantengono la posizione dell’ultimo comando. Quando il segnale viene
recuperato, il sistema riacquisisce immediatamente il controllo (meno di 4 ms).
Connessione dei cavi
Inserire i cavi dei servo nelle apposite porte nel ricevitore, prestando attenzione alla polarità del
connettore del servo.
Indicatore LED rosso degli hold (blocchi motore)
L’AR6115/AR6115e ha un led rosso che indica il numero di hold (blocchi motore) intervenuti
dall’ultima volta che il ricevitore è stato acceso. Il LED lampeggia mostrando il numero di hold
(blocchi motore) e poi si ferma (ad esempio lampeggio, lampeggio, lampeggio, pausa, lampeggio,
lampeggio, lampeggio, pausa indica che sono avvenuti tre hold (blocchi motore) da quando il
ricevitore è stato acceso). Notare che il registro degli hold (blocchi motore) viene resettato quando il
ricevitore viene spento. Durante i primi voli con un nuovo aereo è importante controllare l’indicatore
a LED rosso degli hold (blocchi motore). Se esso lampeggia è importante ottimizzare l’installazione
(spostare o riposizionare le antenne) finchè non c’è alcun lampeggiamento. Nei voli successivi,
l’indicatore rosso a LED può essere usato per confermare le prestazione di collegamento RF.
Test del raggio di azione
Prima dell’inizio di ogni sessione di volo, specialmente con nuovi modelli, è importante effettuare un test
del raggio di azione. Tutti i trasmettitori di aerei Spektrum hanno un sistema integrato di test del raggio di
azione che, quando attivato, riduce la potenza in uscita consentendo di controllare il raggio d’azione.
IT
30 paces (90 feet/28 meters)
Pull and hold the Trainer Switch
1. Con il modello posizionato a terra, bisogna stare a circa 30 passi (circa 90 piedi, ossia 28 metri)
dal modellino.
2. Mettersi di fronte al modello tenendo il trasmettitore nella posizione normale durante il volo e
metterlo nella modalità di controllo del raggio d’azione.
3. Con il pulsante abbassato a 30 passi (90 piedi/28 metri) dovete avere il controllo totale del modello.
4. Si vous avez des interrogations, contactez le service clients approprié.
Requisiti del sistema di alimentazione del ricevitore
I sistemi di alimentazione inadeguati che non sono in grado di fornire la tensione minima necessaria al
ricevitore durante il volo sono diventati la prima causa di guasti durante il volo. Alcuni dei componenti
del sistema di alimentazione che influiscono sulla capacità di fornire un’adeguata tensione sono:
• Il set di batterie dei ricevitore (numero di celle, capacità, tipo di celle, stato di carica)
• La capacità di ESC di fornire la corrente al ricevitore presente nell’aereo
• Il collegamento dell’interruttore, i cavi della batteria, i cavi del servo, i regolatori ecc.
L’AR6115/AR6115e ha una tensione minima di esercizio di 3,5 volt; quindi si raccomanda vivamente
di testare il sistema di alimentazione in base alle seguenti linee guida.
Linee guida consigliate per provare il sistema di alimentazione
Se si usa un sistema di alimentazione dubbio (ad es. batteria piccola o vecchia, un ESC privo di
un BEC in grado di supportare elevati assorbimenti di corrente ecc.), si raccomanda di usare un
voltmetro per eseguire i seguenti test.
Nota: Il servo digitale Hangar 9 ® e l’amperometro Rx (HAN172) o il registro di volo Spektrum
Flight Log (SPM9540) sono gli utensili ideali per eseguire il test indicato sotto.
Inserire il voltmetro nella porta di un canale libero nel ricevitore e tenendo il sistema acceso
caricare le superfici di controllo (applicare pressione con la mano) mentre si controlla la tensione
sul ricevitore. La tensione deve rimanere sopra i 4,8 volt anche se i servo sono sovraccaricati.
Nota: le batterie ibride al nickel (NiMH) di ultima generazione utilizzano una nuova chimica
imposta per renderle più ecocompatibili. Quando si caricano tali batterie con caricatori veloci con
rilevamento di picco, hanno tendenza a mostrare ripetutamente un falso picco e perciò possono
risultare non del tutto cariche. Fra esse ci sono tutte le marche di batterie NiMH. Se si usano set di
batterie NiMH bisogna prestare molta attenzione alla carica, assicurandosi che le batterie siano del
tutto cariche. Si raccomanda di usare un caricatore che possa indicare correttamente la capacità
totale di carica. E’ bene notare il numero di mAh in un set scarico di batterie per verificare che sia
stato caricato fino alla piena capacità.
QuickConnect™ con rilevamento di calo di tensione
(Rilevamento di calo di tensione non disponibile con DSMX)
L’AR6115/AR6115e dispone di funzione QuickConnect con rilevamento di calo di tensione.
(Rilevamento di calo di tensione non disponibile con DSMX).
• Se si verifica un’interruzione dell’alimentazione (calo di tensione) il sistema si riconnette
immediatamente quando viene ripristinata l’alimentazione (QuickConnect).
• Il LED sul ricevitore lampeggia lentamente indicando che è avvenuta un’interruzione di
alimentazione (calo di tensione) (DSM2 soltanto).
• I cali di tensione possono essere causati da un sistema di alimentazione inadeguato (batteria
scarica o regolatore non idoneo), un connettore allentato, un interruttore non in buone condizioni,
un BEC inadeguato quando si usa un controllo elettronico di velocità ecc.
• I cali di tensione si verificano quando la tensione del ricevitore scende sotto i 3,5 volt
interrompendo il controllo, dato che i servo necessitano di almeno 3,5 volt per funzionare.
IT
Come funziona QuickConnect
™
• Quando la tensione del ricevitore scende sotto i 3,2 volt, il sistema si arresta (smette di funzionare). • Quand l’alimentation est rétablie le récepteur tente immédiatement de se reconnecter.
• Si l’émetteur est resté allumé ,le système se reconnecte en moins d’une seconde.
QuickConnect è progettato per consentire il volo in sicurezza con interruzioni di alimentazione
brevissime, tuttavia è necessario eliminare la causa di tali interruzioni prima di iniziare il volo
successivo al fine di evitare problemi catastrofici legati alla sicurezza.
Nota: Se si verifica un calo di tensione durante il volo, è importante capire subito la sua causa
e correggerla.
Flight Log opzionale (SPM9540)
Il registro di volo Spektrum (SPM9540) è compatibile con AR6115(e) PowerSafe. Esso visualizza
le prestazioni generali dei collegamenti RF e i dati dei collegamenti esterni ed interni del ricevitore.
Inoltre visualizza la tensione del ricevitore.
Usare il registro di volo - Flight Log
Dopo un volo o prima di spegnere il ricevitore o il trasmettitore, inserire il Flight Log nella porta dati
del PowerSafe. Lo schermo visualizzerà automaticamente la tensione 6v2= 6.2 volt.
Nota: Quando la tensione raggiunge 4.8 volt - o meno - lo schermo indicherà una bassa tensione.
Premere il pulsante per visualizzare le seguenti informazioni:
A-Dissolvenza sull’antenna A
B-Dissolvenza sull’antenna B
L-Dissolvenza sull’antenna sinistra
F-Perdita di frame
H-Hold (interruzione)
Dissolvenza dell’antenna—rappresenta la perdita di informazioni su una antenna specifica.
Solitamente è normale avere circa 50 / 100 dissolvenze di segnale durante un volo. Se una
sola antenna ha oltre 500 dissolvenze di segnale durante un solo volo, allora essa deve essere
riposizionata sul velivolo per ottimizzare il collegamento RF.
Perdita di frame—rappresenta la perdita simultanea di segnale su tutti i ricevitori collegati. Se il
collegamento RF è effettuato correttamente, la perdita di frame per ogni volo dovrebbe essere inferiore
a 20. La dissolvenza dell’antenna che ha causato la perdita di frame verrà conteggiata assieme alle
altre dissolvenze.
Nota: Un’estensione del servo può essere usata per permettere al registro di volo di essere
inserito senza dover rimuovere portello o la calotta dell’aereo. Su alcuni modelli, il registro di
volo può essere inserito, collegato e posizionato sul modello con del nastro biadesivo. Come
per gli elicotteri si può montare il registro di volo lateralmente.
Tips on Using Spektrum 2.4GHz
ModelMatch™
Alcuni trasmettitori Spektrum e JR offrono un elemento, con brevetto in corso, chiamato
ModelMatch. ModelMatch impedisce di adoperare un modello che usa il modello di memoria
errato, evitando un potenziale danno. Con ModelMatch, ogni memoria del modello ha un suo
codice unico (GUID) e durante il processo di binding tale codice viene programmato nel ricevitore.
Successivamente, quando il sistema è acceso, il ricevitore si connetterà al trasmettitore solo se la
memoria del modello corrispondente è programmata sullo schermo.
Nota: se non si riesce a stabilire alcuna connessione quando si accende il sistema è necessario
assicurarsi di aver selezionato la giusta memoria del modello nel trasmettitore. Si prega di
notare che i moduli DX5e e Aircraft non hanno ModelMatch.
Anche se il sistema da 2,4 GHz dotato di DSM è di facile utilizzo, funzionando in modo quasi identico
ai sistemi a 72 MHz, spesso i clienti si pongono le seguenti domande:
IT
1. D: Cosa devo accendere per primo, il trasmettitore o il ricevitore?
R: Se il ricevitore viene spento per primo: tutti i servo, tranne il throttle, verranno azionati nelle loro
posizioni di failsafe preimpostate durante il collegamento. A questo punto, il canale del throttle
(gas) non invia un impulso di posizione per evitare di azionare i controlli elettronici di velocità
oppure, nel caso di un aereo a motore, il servo del throttle rimane nella sua posizione corrente.
Se il trasmettitore viene acceso, scansiona la banda a 2,4 GHz e i sistemi DMS acquisiscono
solo due canali aperti, mentre i sistemi DSMX inizieranno la trasmissione dopo essere stati
accesi. Quindi il ricevitore, per il quale era stato effettuato il collegamento in precedenza con il
trasmettitore, effettua la scansione della banda e trova il GUID (Codice di identificazione unico
globale) memorizzato durante il collegamento. Il sistema quindi si
collega e funziona normalmente.
Se il trasmettitore viene acceso per primo: il trasmettitore scansiona la banda a 2,4 GHz
e i sistemi DMS2 acquisiscono due canali aperti, mentre i sistemi DSMX inizieranno la
trasmissione dopo essere stati accesi. Quando il ricevitore è acceso per un breve periodo (il
tempo impiegato per connettersi), tutti i servo, tranne quello del throttle, vengono portati nelle
rispettive posizioni preimpostate di failsafe, mentre il throttle non presenta nessun impulso in
uscita. Il ricevitore effettua la scansione della banda a 2,4 GHz cercando il GUID memorizzato
in precedenza e quando trova il codice GUID specifico e ha verificato che i dati contenuti
nel pacchetto sono ripetibili e non corrotti, il sistema si collega e riprende a funzionare
normalmente. Normalmente impiega da 2 a 6 secondi.
2. Q: Sometimes the system takes longer to connect and sometimes it doesn’t
connect at all?
A: In order for the system to connect (after the receiver is bound) the receiver must receive a large
number of consecutive uninterrupted perfect packets from the transmitter. This process is
purposely critical of the environment ensuring that it’s safe to fly when the system does connect.
If the transmitter is too close to the receiver (less than 4 ft) or if the transmitter is located near
metal objects (metal TX case, the bed of a truck, the top of a metal work bench, etc.) connection
will take longer and in some cases connection will not occur as the system is receiving reflected
2.4GHz energy from itself and is interpreting this as unfriendly noise. Moving the system away
from metal objects or moving the transmitter away from the receiver and powering the system
again will cause a connection to occur. This only happens during the initial connection. Once
connected the system is locked-in and should a loss of signal occur (failsafe) the system
connects immediately (4ms) when signal is regained.
3. Q: I’ve heard that the DSM system is less tolerant of low voltage. Is that correct?
A: All DSM receivers have an operational voltage range of 3.5 to 9 volts. With most systems this is
not a problem as in fact most servos cease to operate at around 3.8 volts. When using multiple
high-current draw servos with a single or inadequate battery/power source, heavy momentary
loads can cause the voltage to dip below this 3.5-volt threshold thus causing the entire system
(servos and receiver) to brown out. When the voltage drops below the low voltage threshold
(3.5 volts), the DSM receiver must reboot (go through the startup process of scanning the band
and finding the transmitter) and this can take several seconds. Please read the receiver power
requirement section as this explains how to test for and prevent this occurrence.
4.Q: S
ometimes my receiver loses its bind and won’t connect requiring rebinding.
What happens if the bind is lost in flight?
A: T he receiver will never lose its bind unless it’s instructed to. It’s important to understand that
during the binding process the receiver not only learns the GUID (code) of the transmitter but
the transmitter learns and stores the type of receiver that it’s bound to. If the transmitter is placed
into bind mode, the transmitter looks for the binding protocol signal from a receiver. If no signal
is present, the transmitter no longer has the correct information to connect to a specific receiver
and in essence the transmitter has been “unbound” from the receiver. We’ve had several DX7
customers that use transmitter stands or trays that unknowingly depress the bind button and the
system is then turned on losing the necessary information to allow the connection to take place.
We’ve also had DX7 customers that didn’t fully understand the range test process and pushed
the bind button before turning on the transmitter also causing the system to “lose its bind.”

GENERAL NOTES
• Radio controlled models provide pleasurable skill challenges
and opportunity for increasing mastery of piloting.
• Models are hazardous when operated and maintained incorrectly.
• Always install and operate a radio control system correctly.
• Always pilot a model so the model is kept under control in
all conditions.
• Please seek help from an experienced pilot or your local
hobby store.
• Contact local or regional modeling organizations for guidance and instructions about flying in your area.
• When working with a model, always power on transmitter
first and power off the transmitter last.
• After a model is bound to a transmitter and the model is set
up in the transmitter, always bind the model to the transmitter again to establish failsafe settings.
2
PILOT SAFETY
• Always make sure batteries are fully charged before flying.
• Time flights so you fly safely and under control.
• Do a range check of the transmitter and the model before
flying a model.
• Make sure control surfaces correctly respond to transmitter
control before flying.
• Do NOT fly a model near spectators, parking areas or any
other area that could result in injury to people or damage to
property.
• Do NOT fly during adverse weather conditions. Poor visibility
can cause pilot disorientation and loss of control of a model.
Wind can cause loss of control and damage to a model.
Moisture and ice can damage a model.
• Do NOT point transmitter antenna directly at a model.
The signal coming from the tip of the antenna is weak by
comparison to the signal coming from other parts of the
antenna.
• When a flying model does not respond correctly to controls
(moving erratically or abnormally) land the model and correct the cause of the problem.

DSMX
Spektrum launched the 2.4GHz RC revolution with its DSM2
technology. Since then millions of hobbyists the world over have
come to embrace 2.4 as the way to fly. Spektrum leads the way
yet again with DSMX; the world’s first wideband, frequency-agile
2.4GHz signal protocol.
How Does DSMX Work?
It’s a crowded 2.4GHz world out there and every 2.4GHz system
faces the same challenges. DSMX better equips you for these
challenges by combining the superior data capacity and interference resistance of a wideband signal (like that used in DSM2)
with the agility of frequency shifts.
Compared to the wideband signal of DSMX, the narrow band
signal of other frequency hopping 2.4 transmitters is more likely
to suffer data loss in the event of on-channel interference. Think
of it as a river vs. a stream. It takes more interference to dam a
river than it does a stream.
As more and more 2.4 transmitters vie for the same number
of available channels, there is more interference and more of a
risk for data loss. By adding the agility of frequency shifts to the
superior interference resistance of a wideband signal, DSMX
is far less likely to suffer significant data loss from on-channel
interference. The result is quicker connection times and superior
response in even the most crowded 2.4GHz environment.
NOTICE: While DSMX allows you to use more than 40 transmitters simultaneously, when using DSM2 receivers, DSMX receivers in DSM2 mode or transmitters in DSM2 mode, do not use
more than 40 transmitters simultaneously.
DSMX Operational Differences
DSMX transmitters and receivers function nearly identically to
Spektrum DSM2 systems. Binding, setting the failsafe, recording
flight log data, as well as general use of the system is no different than using any current Spektrum system.
Following are the operational differences:
Brownout Detection- Not Available on DSMX Receivers,
DSM2 receivers feature Brownout Detection that flashes the
receiver’s LED if a power interruption occurs. While DSMX
receivers have QuickConnect™ and recover instantly from a
power interruption, the architecture of DSMX prevents Brownout
Detection when operating in DSMX mode.
4
Flight Log Recording- Fades Higher than DSM2
Note that DSMX hops through the band while DSM2 finds two
quiet channels and remains on those channels. Consequently
because DSMX operates on quiet and noisy channels, it’s common to have more Antenna Fades than when using DSM2, when
used in busy 2.4GHz environments. When taking flight log data
readings, the Frames and Hold Data are important and should be
used a reference while Fades are insignificant due to the nature
of frequency hopping. A 10-minute flight will typically result in
less than 50 Frame Losses and no Holds.
Just How Good is DSMX?
In multiple tests, 100 DSMX systems were operated simultaneously for extended periods of time. During these tests each of the
100 systems was monitored in flight and on the ground. In every
test not a single case of RF link loss, latency increase or control
degradation was experienced or recorded.
Is DSMX Compatible with DSM2?
Yes. DSMX is fully compatible with all DSM2 hardware. In fact,
many pilots may find the DSM2 equipment they have now is all
they will ever need. Even if a new DSMX transmitter eventually
comes along that they really want, all the DSM2 receivers they
have now will work with it.
It is important to note, however, that while DSMX is compatible
with DSM2, the only way to experience the full benefits of DSMX
in a busy 2.4 environment is by pairing a DSMX transmitter with
a DSMX receiver.
Can DSM2 Transmitters be Upgraded to DSMX?
Yes. DX8 owners can simply download Spektrum AirWare™ v2.0
software from spektrumrc.com and update the firmware using
their SD card. DX6i transmitters manufactured after October
2010 can be upgraded using instructions provided on spektrumrc.com. All other DX6i DSM2 transmitters can be upgraded for
$75 by sending them to the Horizon Hobby service center. DSM2
receivers and transmitter modules cannot be upgraded to DSMX.
Does DSMX have ModelMatch and ServoSync?
Yes. DSMX will provide you with these and other exclusive Spektrum advantages you already enjoy with DSM2.

This transmitter requires 4 AA batteries. Transmitters are sold
with and without batteries and a Spektrum charger.
3.
1.Remove battery cover from the back of the transmitter.
2.Install batteries as shown where batteries fit.
3.Install battery cover.
Failure to exercise caution while using this product and comply with the following warnings could result in
product malfunction, electrical issues, excessive heat, FIRE, and ultimately injury and property damage.
• Read all safety precautions and literature prior to use of this
product
• Never allow minors to charge battery packs
• Never drop charger or batteries
• Never attempt to charge damaged batteries
• Never attempt to charge a battery pack containing different
types of batteries
• Never charge a battery if the cable has been pinched or
shorted
• Never allow batteries or battery packs to come into contact
with moisture at any time
• Never charge batteries in extremely hot or cold places (recommended between 50–80 degrees F or 10–27 degrees C)
or place in direct sunlight
Charging Batteries
Rechargeable batteries can be recharged in the transmitter
using a 4.8-volt Spektrum charger. Improved battery reliability
requires a full charge for initial use. While the transmitter is
powered off, connect the transmitter charge port to the charger.
Charging must be done in a safe place NOT affected by the
usual heat that comes from a charger and batteries during
charging.
CAUTION: Use ONLY the 150mAh center pin negative
Spektrum adaptor (SPM9550) with your transmitter.
Note: The 4.8-volt charger recharges at a rate of 150mAh per
hour, so 4 1.2V 1500mAh batteries require approximately 10
hours for an initial charge.
CAUTION: Charge only rechargeable batteries. Non-rechargeable batteries may burst causing injury to persons
and/or damage to property.

BINDING
You must bind the receiver to the transmitter before it will operate. Binding is sharing identification codes between the receiver and
the active memory of the transmitter. Once bound, the receiver only connects to the transmitter when the previously bound model
memory is selected. You will need to rebind after the model is set in the transmitter to fully program the model’s failsafe positions. If
another model memory is selected, the receiver will not connect. This feature is called ModelMatch™ and prevents flying a model
using the wrong model memory.

USING TRANSMITTER
Antenna
The transmitter antenna bends and turns at the hinge (A) and only bends
and turns to the front of the transmitter. The antenna cannot point to the
back of the transmitter. Turn antenna tip to point away from the model
and ground. Signals transmit strongest from the antenna shaft, not the tip.
WARNING: Do not pick up the
transmitter by the antenna. Do not
alter or put weight on the antenna. Damage
to antenna parts can decrease transmitter
signal strength, which can result in loss of
model control, injury or property damage.

WING TAIL MIX
Wing Tail Mix function supports Normal, Dual Aileron, V-Tail and
Elevon (Delta) mixing. Refer to your model’s manual for recommended settings. See Appendix for information about recommended wing type servo installations on scratch built models.
Normal
This normal or default setting for airplanes is 1 servo channel
for aileron, 1 channel for elevator and 1 channel for the rudder.
These common wing and tail functions are enabled when you
set DUALAILE, ELEVON and V-TAIL at INH (inhibit).
Elevator stick input causes movement of the surfaces together
for up/down movement and pitch control. Aileron stick control
input causes movement of the surfaces in opposite directions
for roll control. Connect one tail servo to (ELE) and the other tail
servo to (AILE) in the receiver. Use individual functions such as
servo reversing, sub-trims, etc. for each servo to achieve correct
control surface movement. Use sub-trims for separate neutral
adjustments. Use dual rate function so you can independently
adjust elevator-versus-rudder travel.
WINGTAILMIX
Dual Aileron Wing Type Selection
Dual Aileron requires use of a servo for each aileron and supports use of ailerons as flaps or spoilers. This function also
supports precise independent adjustment of up and down travel,
and independent sub-trim and differential for each aileron.

V-tail control surfaces.
Elevon Wing Type Selection
Elevon (Delta) wing combines aileron and elevator functions for
precise control of roll and pitch.
Note: Delta or Elevon Mixing is for flying-wing airplanes and
uses 2 servos in the wing to control 2 trailing edge-control
surfaces for pitch and roll control.

D/R & EXPO (Dual Rate & Expo)
The Dual Rate and Exponential function supports programming
of 2 control rates. Dual Rates and Expos are available for aileron,
elevator and rudder channels. Changing Dual Rate value affects
maximum control authority and sensitivity of control. Increasing
the rate increases sensitivity of the controls. Changing Exponential value affects sensitivity around center (neutral). You can
control Dual and Expo rates by respective D/R switches (aileron,
elevator and rudder) or by one common switch (Aileron D/R, Elevator D/R, Rudder D/R or the Gear switch. See COMBI SWITCH
screen for combining D/R switches to one common switch).
You can adjust dual rate values from 0–100%. Factory default
settings are 100% for switch positions 0 and 1.
Note: Refer to your model’s manual for recommended rate
settings.
Exponential values are adjustable from -100% to +100%. The

gyros separate gain from the rate of pirouette so you can run
maximum gain (holding the tail extremely well) and adjust pirouette rate. The gyro keeps “memory” of the helicopter’s current
heading. When moved from this heading, the gyro returns the
helicopter to its heading from return. The strength of tail hold is
adjusted by the gyro gain (in some models, by a separate “tail
lock strength” adjustment).

THRO CUR (Throttle Curve)
The Thro Cur function supports setting values for 5 positions
in the throttle response curve of 3 different modes: NORM
(Normal), STUNT and HOLD.
Note: In TH. HOLD, throttle curve is a flat line representing a
hold condition. You can adjust this at the 5 positions (L, 2, 3, 4

The throttle trim switch is only active when the flight mode
switch is in the NORM (0) position. Throttle trim increases or
decreases engine/motor revolutions per minute (rpm) to achieve
a reliable idle in NORM. The throttle trim switch has no effect in

CCPM swashplate servos, AILE (aileron), ELEV (elevator) and
PITC (pitch). Refer to your model’s manual for recommended
settings.
A Input
B Input values (-125 to +125%). (For example, when the
swashplate moves up when the control stick is moved down
and the channel’s swash mix value is positive, make the
channel’s value negative to make the swashplate move
down with the same stick movement. Servo reversing and
swash mix adjustment may be required on some models.)
MIX 1 or MIX 2
Mix 1 and 2 functions mix percentages between 2 channels, or
a channel with itself (THROTTLE cannot be mixed with itself or
as a slave).
You can program mixes so that stick or switch inputs control 2
or more servos.
The first channel is the master channel; the second is the slave
channel. You can adjust directional mix values (U, D, L and R)
between -125% to +125%.
The mix can either be enabled (ON) all times or assigned to a
switch, enabling and disabling the mix as needed while operating a model. You can also link trim so that adjusting master
channel trim will also adjust slave channel trim.
When a mix is enabled and the assigned input control is moved,
the master channel sends output at the same time the slave
channel sends output.
Output is sent to the model in the direction and to the position
assigned in the Mix screen. Output sent to model will match
assignments in Mix screen.
CAUTION: Before flying a model, always do a check of
channel mix response by viewing channel results on the
Servo MONITOR screen.

Mix Options
Aileron to Rudder: Causes rudder to move when ailerons
move. This helps with airplanes that have adverse movement
of the nose around the center axis (yaw) (right aileron results in
left nose movement (yaw)). When programming aileron to rudder
mix in the same direction, the airplane makes coordinated turns
using ailerons only.
Elevator to Flap: Causes flaps (or flaperons) to move when
elevator is moved, resulting in tighter looping maneuvers,
or to provide aileron reflex for some 3D maneuvers such as
Harriers.
Dual Elevators: Requires Gear to Gear Mix of -100% to -100%
to inhibit (INH) Gear Channel Switch, then Elevator to Gear Mix
of +100% to +100% to activate the Gear channel to work as a
slave to the elevator channel. This makes dual elevator setups
possible.
Rudder to Aileron or Elevator: Eliminates roll and pitch coupling (roll and pitch happening at the same time) when rudder is
applied. This is normally used to correct coupling in knife-edge
flight.

MASTER/SLAVE INFORMATION
To operate the DX6i as a master:
• Transmitter batteries fully charged.
• Bind the transmitter to the model.
• Connect the trainer cord (SPM6805) to the back of the
transmitter.
• Make sure the slave transmitter batteries are fully charged.
• Make sure the slave transmitter is powered off; the slave
transmitter receives power when you connect the trainer
cord. At this point, the slave will not transmit a signal to the
model.
• Move and hold the master transmitter’s trainer switch to
give model control to a slave transmitter.
• The trainer switch is on the back left of the transmitter
(Mode 2, used in USA or on the right side on Mode 1 transmitters).
• Release the trainer switch to give model control to the
master transmitter.
18
To operate the DX6i as a slave:
• Make sure transmitter batteries are fully charged.
• Make sure transmitter is powered ofF
• Connect the trainer cord between the master and slave
transmitters.
• The DX6i screen will show information, but the transmitter
will not send a signal to the model.
• Both transmitters must be programmed to control the
model.
NOTICE: You must set up a model the same in both transmitters
before using the trainer cord. The trainer cord does not copy
model control values from one transmitter to another.

FAILSAFE
When you bind your transmitter to a Spektrum receiver, you
program the receiver with Failsafe defaults. If the receiver loses
connection to the transmitter, the receiver goes to Failsafe,
operating in default control positions programmed at binding
(until connection is restored to the transmitter).
NOTICE: Failsafe varies among receivers. Before using a
receiver, read receiver’s instructions for Failsafe instructions and
information.
Failsafe
SmartSafe Failsafe, Hold Last Command Failsafe and
Pre-Connect Failsafe are set at binding.
These Failsafes can provide these benefits:
• When only the receiver is powered on (no transmitter signal
is present), speed controller (ESC) does not arm and electric
motor is not powered on.
• If connection is lost, SmartSafe moves throttle to position set
at binding so electric motors power off or gas/glow engines
decrease to idle.
• If connection is lost, all channels (except for throttle channel)
hold the last command received from the transmitter. For
Preset Failsafe
Note: Not all Spektrum receivers have Preset Failsafe.
Refer to your receiver’s instructions for Failsafe instructions
and information.
Preset Failsafe is useful for sailplanes. If there is a loss of signal,
spoilers can deploy to bring the model down, preventing flyaway.
CAUTION: Restrain model on the ground while binding
the receiver to a transmitter (which is setting Failsafe)
or doing a test of Failsafe. When Failsafe is not set correctly, a
model’s throttle may go to middle or full throttle.
How To Program
1. Install the bind plug in the receiver bind port.
2. Power on the receiver.
3. Receiver LED will blink, indicating the receiver is
in bind mode.
4. Remove the bind plug from the receiver.
5. Receiver LED will continue blinking.
example, if the model is turning when the control connection
is lost, the model will keep turning until connection to the
transmitter returns.
CAUTION: Restrain model on the ground while binding
the receiver to a transmitter (which is setting Failsafe)
or doing a test of Failsafe. When Failsafe is not set correctly, a
model’s throttle may go to middle or full throttle.
How To Program
1. Keep bind plug in receiver bind port during binding.
2. Remove bind plug only after receiver connects to transmitter.
How To Test
Note: This test applies only to receivers with these features.
1. Power on receiver and make sure model responds with
throttle going to lowest setting.
2. Power on transmitter and wait for connection to the receiver.
3. Increase transmitter throttle then power off the transmitter.
4. Make sure model throttle goes to low setting and that all
controls hold the last command.
NOTICE: Before flying, ALWAYS make sure the transmitter and
receiver are bound for the correct failsafe.
6. Move transmitter control sticks and switches to desired
failsafe positions (throttle to low position).
7. Move and hold transmitter bind switch in bind position.
8. Power on the transmitter.
9. The receiver and transmitter connect in less
than 15 seconds.
10. When the receiver connects to the transmitter, the receiver
LED will show a solid light, indicating bind.
11. Release the transmitter bind switch.
12. Remove bind plug from the receiver.
How To Test
1. Power on transmitter and wait 5 seconds.
2. Power on receiver.
3. After receiver connects to transmitter, increase transmitter
throttle then power off the transmitter.
4. Make sure model throttle goes to low setting and that all
controls go to preset positions.
Note: Some analog servos may coast a small amount, even
without a signal. This is normal.
RECEIVER AND SERVO INFORMATION
Receiver Installation
Where supplied with the transmitter, install the primary receiver
in your model. Put the primary receiver in protective foam and
install the receiver in the model using rubber bands or hookand-loop straps. Use thick double-sided foam tape to install the
primary receiver in electric models or helicopters.
Install the remote receiver apart from the primary receiver to
improve RF path diversity (a receiver’s ability to detect a signal in
SPEKTRUM DX6i • RADIO INSTRUCTION MANUAL
all conditions). Each receiver needs a different RF environment,
especially in aircraft containing conductive materials (such as
large gas engines, carbon fiber, pipes, etc.) which block a radio
signal.
Install the remote receiver in the model using servo tape. Keep
primary and remote receiver antennas at least 2 inches (51mm)
apart. Move antennas so the wires are perpendicular to each
other, although this is not critical.
19
EN
In airplanes, install the main receiver in the servo tray in the center of the fuselage. Install the remote receiver in the servo tray
by the side of the fuselage or in the turtle deck (space behind
the canopy and in front of the vertical stabilizer).
In helicopters, install receivers in the servo tray, where there
is usually sufficient room for receiver separation. Where there
is not sufficient room, install a receiver on an external receiver
mount made of clear plastic.
Note: The DSMX DX6i is compatible with all current Spektrum
DSM2 and DSMX aircraft receivers, but NOT compatible with the
original DSM AR6000 receiver.
CAUTION: When using the DSMX DX6i with parkflyer
receivers (the AR6100, AR6110, and AR6115), it’s
imperative that these receivers only be flown in parkflyer-type
aircraft (small electric airplanes or mini and micro helicopters).
Flying receivers designed for parkflyers in larger aircraft could
cause loss of connection.
Servo Installation
Due to vibration, install servos using rubber grommets and
bushings in gas- and glow-powered models.
Do not over-tighten mounting screws.
Install servos using servo tape and glue in electric and nonpowered aircraft. See model instructions for installing servo(s)
in your model.
Servo Precautions
Do NOT lubricate servo gears or motors.
Do NOT overload retract servos during retracted or extended
conditions.
Always make sure servo arms and linkages can move freely over
the whole path of their intended travel. A blocked servo linkage
or servo arm can cause a servo to draw too much current so a
battery charge is quickly drained.
Always correct control surface vibration, such as “buzz” or “flutter.” Vibration can destroy feedback potentiometers in servos.
Always install servos using rubber grommets and brass eyelets.
Do NOT over-tighten servo mounting screws. Doing so inhibits
the screws from dampening vibration.
Always make sure a servo arm is fully attached to the servo. Use
only supplied servo arm screws. Use of other sizes of screws or
screws from other manufacturers can result in damage to the
servo.
Always remove and discard “yellowed” or otherwise discolored
servo arms. Discoloration shows material may be brittle and can
break at any time, possibly causing an aircraft crash.
Always make sure model screws and linkages are tight. Vibration
loosens screws and linkages so that damage can result.
Power System Requirements
Set up and operate a model so power to the receiver is NEVER
interrupted while flying. This is especially critical on giant-scale
models that use several high-torque or high-current servos.
Power systems unable to provide minimum receiver voltage
in flight are the number-one cause of in-flight failures. Some
20
components that cause a receiver to have too little power supply
include:
• Receiver battery (number of cells, capacity, cell type, state of
charge)
• Switch harness
• Battery leads
• Regulator (where used),
• Power bus (where used)
While a Spektrum receiver’s minimum operational voltage is
3.5 volts, test your model to a minimum acceptable voltage of
4.8 volts during ground testing. This battery charge capacity
compensates for discharge during flight or for flight loads larger
than ground test loads.
CAUTION: We recommend that you DO NOT fly a model
with battery charges at less than 5.3-volts.
Recommended Power System Guidelines
1. When setting up a large or complex aircraft with multiple
high-torque servos, use a current and voltmeter (Hangar 9
HAN172). Connect the volt-meter in an open channel port in
the receiver. With the system powered on, load the control
surfaces (apply pressure with your hand) while monitoring
voltage at the receiver. The voltage must remain above 4.8
volts when all servos are heavily loaded.
Note: The optional Spektrum Flight Log (SPM9540) has a
built-in voltmeter for doing this test. The Flight Log is compatible with Spektrum receivers SPMAR9010, SPMAR9110 and
SPMAR7010 (AR7000).
2. With the current meter connected in line with the receiver
battery lead, load control surfaces (apply pressure with your
hand) while monitoring the current. The maximum continuous current for a single heavy-duty servo/battery lead must
be no more than 3 amps, while short-duration current spikes
of up to 5 amps are acceptable. When your system draws
more than 3 amps continuous or 5 amps for short durations,
use multiple packs with multiple switches and multiple leads
connected to the receiver.
Note: The Flight Log cannot measure current draw (amps).
When the Flight Log is used to measure voltage, also use the
HAN172 current meter to measure the current draw of the
servos.
3. When using a voltage regulator, do the tests for 5 minutes or
more. Current passing through a regulator generates heat.
Resistance increases, causing heat to increase (thermal
runaway). While a regulator may provide adequate power for
a short time, test for longer to make sure it can keep voltage
consistent at significant power levels.
4. Use multiple battery packs with multiple switch harnesses
on large aircraft or complex models (for example, airplanes
35% and larger or jets). In many cases, commercially available power boxes or busses must be used. No matter what
power systems are used, always do a test (described above)
to make sure the receiver is supplied with 4.8 volts or more
under all conditions.
5. Peak detection fast chargers may show a false full charge on
NiMH batteries. We recommend use of a charger that shows
an NiMH battery’s total charge capacity. Make sure NiMH
battery packs are fully charged when using any charger.

FAA INFORMATION
Purpose
This advisory outlines safety standards for operations of
model aircraft. We encourage voluntary compliance with
these standards.
Background
Attention has been drawn to the increase in model aircraft operation. There is a need for added caution when operating free
flight and radio controlled craft in order to avoid creating a noise
nuisance or a potential hazard to full-scale aircraft and persons
and/or property on the surface.
Operating Standards
Modelers generally are concerned with safety and exercise good
judgment when flying model aircraft. However, in the interest of
safer skies, we encourage operators of radio controlled and free
flight models to comply with the following standards:
a. Exercise vigilance in locating full-scale aircraft (get help if
possible) so as not to create a collision hazard.
b. Select an operating site at sufficient distance from
populated areas so you do not create a noise problem or a
potential hazard.
c. Do not fly higher than 400 feet above the surface.
d. Always operate more than three miles from the boundary
of an airport unless you are given permission to be closer
by the appropriate air traffic control facility in the case of an
airport for which a control zone has been designated or by
the airport manager in the case of other airports.
e. Do not hesitate to ask for assistance in complying with
these guidelines at the airport traffic control tower or air
route traffic control center nearest the site of your proposed
operation.

EN
ALL INSTRUCTION AND PRECAUTIONS MUST BE
READ AND FOLLOWED EXACTLY.
WARNING: Procedures, which if not properly followed, create the probability of property damage,
collateral damage and serious injury OR create a high probability of superficial injury.
Failure to exercise care while using this product and
comply with the following conditions and guidelines
could result in product malfunction, excessive heat,
fire, property damage, and ultimately injury.
Lithium Ion batteries are not toys. For the purposes
of this document Li-Ion, Li-Po or Li-Fe batteries will
be described as “Batteries.”
Handling and Storage
• Never alter, puncture or impact Batteries or
related components.
• Do not directly connect the terminals with metal
objects. This will short-circuit Batteries, resulting
in heat and electrical discharge.
• Never store loose Batteries together, the
Batteries’ terminals may contact one another
causing a short circuit.
• Never expose Batteries to extreme temperatures
or direct sunlight. The temperature range must
be between 40–120° F (4–49° C).
• Always verify voltage of Batteries that have been
out of service for greater than six (6) months.
• Always disconnect Batteries when not in use and
store Batteries in a non-conductive and fireproof
container.
• For best results, store Batteries at approximately
1/2 of the capacity listed on the Batteries’ label.
Before the First Charge
• Make a visual and physical inspection of
Batteries for any damaged or loose leads or
connectors, damaged packaging, or other
irregularities which may cause a short circuit and
eventual fire.
• Verify that the positive terminal of the Batteries is
connected to the positive terminal of the charger.
Confirm polarity with a voltmeter if unsure.
• Check the voltage of Batteries using a voltmeter
to make sure Batteries have the voltage of the
capacity listed on Batteries’ label.
Charging
For more complete charging guidelines please refer
to your charger’s manual; however, the warnings
and guidelines listed below must be followed to
avoid property damage and injury.
• Always use a compatible balanced mode
charger, specifically designed for the chemistry
of battery you are using.
• Always charge Batteries in an open area away
from flammable materials, liquids and surfaces.
• Never charge Batteries inside of the model.
• Never charge Batteries that are hot to the touch
(above 100° F). DO NOT handle Batteries until
they are cool.
• Always set the charger to the proper cell count
and/or voltage listed on Batteries’ labels.
• Always set the charger to the amp charge rate
as listed on Batteries’ labels. The charger should
never be set to charge Batteries at a rate greater
than 1C (One (1) times the capacity of Batteries
in amp hours) unless another C rate is specified
in the manufacturer’s product documentation or
the rate is preset as part of a specific battery and
charger combination. DO NOT alter the charge
rate once charging has begun.
• Always check the voltage of Batteries before
each charge session in order to ensure they are
at or above the minimum safe starting voltage.
If starting voltage is below recommended levels
then Batteries have been over discharged or
have experienced a failure and should NOT be
charged.
• Never overcharge Batteries beyond the capacity
listed on Batteries’ labels.
• Always ensure your battery has a balancing lead
and that it is inserted in the correct port of your
charger before charging.
The preinstalled 2-pin JST, EC3 or EC5 connectors
and wire gauges on your batteries have been
tested and matched to typical usage in radio
control applications, though the batteries may have
higher capacities. These connectors do have power
limitations in that your battery may produce more
power under certain circumstances than what the
connector is able to withstand. If you will be using
a Horizon Hobby battery in any application that
will exceed the connector’s power capabilities, it is
your responsibility to ensure that you replace the
connector with a product better suited to the higher
ratings you are using.
Safety
If at any time Batteries become damaged, hot, or
begin to balloon or swell, discontinue charging
(or discharging) immediately. Quickly and safely
disconnect the charger. Then place the Batteries
and/or charge in a safe, open area away from
flammable materials in an approved Li-Po bag to
observe. After one hour, remove the Batteries from
service. DO NOT continue to handle, attempt to
use, or ship the Batteries. Failure to follow these
procedures can cause damage to Batteries, personal
property or cause serious injury.
Damaged or swollen Batteries can be unstable and
very hot. DO NOT touch Batteries until they have
cooled. Dispose of Batteries in the manner required
by your city, county, state or country. Contact the
appropriate Horizon Product Support office to speak
to a service technician for more information.
In the event of fire, a Class D, dry chemical fire
extinguisher must be used then batteries must be
placed inside of an approved Li-Po bag.
Discharging
• Never discharge Batteries at amperage rates
higher than specified on Batteries’ labels.
• Never allow the temperature of Batteries to
exceed 160° F during discharge. Adequate
cooling for Batteries is required, especially when
discharging at or near maximum rates.
• Never discharge Batteries to voltage below
which they are rated by the manufacturer when
measured under load (connected to the vehicle
or a charger capable of discharge). Batteries
discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest
approved voltage may be damaged, resulting
in loss of performance and potential fire when
Batteries are charged.
Additional Guidelines and Warnings
In the event of a crash, always quickly and safely
disconnect and remove Batteries from the model.
Then follow the previously listed safety procedures.
• If the internal contents of Batteries come into
contact with your skin, wash the affected area(s)
with soap and water immediately. If it comes
into contact with your eye(s), flush them with
generous amounts of water for 15 minutes and
seek immediate medical attention.

AVERTISSEMENT
TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS ET PRECAUTIONS
DOIVENT ETRE LUES ET RESPECTEES
SCRUPULEUSEMENT.
AVERTISSEMENT: LE NON-RESPECT DES
PROCÉDURES AUGMENTE LE RISQUE
DE DÉGÂTS MATÉRIELS, DE DÉGÂTS
INDIRECTS ET DE BLESSURES GRAVES OU
SUPERFICIELLES.
L’absence de précautions durant l’utilisation de ce
produit et le non-respect des conditions et directives
suivantes peuvent provoquer un dysfonctionnement
du produit, une chaleur excessive, un incendie, des
dégâts matériels ou des blessures.
Les accus lithium-ion ne sont pas des jouets. Pour
les besoins de ce document, les accus Li-ion, Li-Po
ou Li-Fe sont regroupés sous l’expression « accus ».
Directives et avertissements liés à la
manipulation et à la conservation
• Les accus et composants similaires ne doivent
jamais être modifiés, perforés ou écrsés.
• Ne jamais mettre les connecteurs directement
en contact avec des objets métalliques. Cela
courtcircuiterait l’accu causant une surchauffe et
une forte décharge.
• Les accus ne doivent jamais être conservés
ensemble, car leurs bornes peuvent se toucher et
provoquer un court-circuit.
• Les accus ne doivent jamais être exposés à des
températures extrêmes ou à la lumière directe
du soleil. La température doit être comprise entre
4 et 49°C (40-120°F).
• Vérifiez toujours la tension des accus qui n’ont
pas été utilisés depuis plus de six (6) mois.
• Les accus non utilisés doivent toujours être
déconnectés et conservés dans une boîte non
conductrice et ignifugée.
• Pour de meilleurs résultats, les accus doivent
être conservés à la moitié environ de la
capacitéindiquée sur leur étiquette.
Directives et avertissements avant la p
remière charge
• Contrôler visuellement les accus à la recherche
de cordons ou connecteurs endommagés ou
mal fixés, de boîtiers détériorés ou d’autres
anomalies susceptibles de provoquer un courtcircuit et/ou un incendie.
• Vérifiez que la borne positive des accus est
raccordée à la borne positive du chargeur
Confirmez la polarité au moyen d’un voltmètre en
cas de doute.
• Mesurez la tension des accus au moyen d’un
voltmètre pour vérifier qu’elle correspond à la
capacité indiquée sur leur étiquette.
Directives et avertissements liés à la charge
Pour des directives plus complètes concernant la
charge, reportez-vous au manuel de votre chargeur ;
toutefois, les avertissements et directives répertoriés
cidessous doivent être respectés pour éviter des
dégâts matériels et/ou des blessures.
• Utilisez toujours un chargeur équilibreur
compatible spécialement conçu pour charger ces
accus. Ces accus ne doivent jamais être chargés
en régime lent (sous intensité faible).
• Les accus doivent toujours être chargés dans un
espace ouvert, à l’écart des matières, liquides et
surfaces inflammables.
• Les accus ne doivent jamais être chargés à
l’intérieur d’un modèle.
• Ne chargez jamais d’accus chauds au toucher
(dont la température est supérieure à 38 °C
[100°F]). Les accus NE DOIVENT PAS être
manipulés tant qu’ils n’ont pas refroidi.
• Le chargeur doit toujours être réglé sur le
nombre d’éléments et/ou la tension corrects
indiqués sur l’étiquette des accus.
• Réglez toujours le chargeur avec le taux de
charge indiqué sur l’étiquette des batteries. Il ne
doit pas être réglé sur une charge supérieure
à 1C (1 fois la capacité de la batterie en Amp/
Heure) tant qu’un autre taux de charge n’est
pas spécifié dans la documentation produit du
constructeur ou que le taux est pré-réglé pour
une combinaison de batterie et de chargeur
spécifique. NE PAS modifier le taux de charge
dès que la charge a commencé.
• Vérifiez toujours la tension des accus avant
chaque charge pour vérifier qu’elle atteint ou
dépasse la tension minimale de début de charge
en sécurité. Si la tension de début de charge
est inférieure au niveau recommandé, alors les
accus sont trop déchargés ou détériorés et NE
DOIVENT PAS être chargés.
• Les accus ne doivent jamais être chargés audelà
de la capacité indiquée sur leur étiquette.
• Toujours vérifier que votre batterie possède une
prise d’équilibrage et qu’elle est insérée dans
le port correspondant du chargeur avant de
commencer la charge.
La section des câbles et les prises JST, EC3 ou EC5
ont été testé et dimensionné pour les applications
dans le domaine des modèles réduits, bien que les
batteries ont des capacités supérieures. Ces prises
sont limitées niveau puissance, la batterie peu
produire plus d’énergie dans certaines circonstances
et la prise sera capable de résister. Si vous
souhaitez utiliser une batterie Horizon Hobby pour
une application dépassant les limites de puissance
supportées par le connecteur, il est de votre
responsabilité de remplacer la prise par un modèle
surdimensionné correspondant à votre utilisation.
Directives et avertissements liés à la sécurité
Si à un moment quelconque, les accus se
détériorent, s’échauffent, se dilatent ou gonflent,
interrompez immédiatement la charge (ou la
décharge). Débranchez rapidement le chargeur en
toute sécurité. Placez ensuite les accus et/ou le
chargeur en lieu sûr et ouvert, à l’écart des matières
inflammables, dans un sachet spécial pour accus
Li-Po pour observer l’évolution. Après une heure,
retirez les accus. Les accus NE DOIVENT PLUS être
manipulés, utilisés ou expédiés. Le nonrespect de
ces procédures peut provoquer des dégâts aux
accus et aux biens ou des blessures graves.
Les accus dilatés ou gonflés peuvent être instables
et très chauds. Les accus gonflés NE DOIVENT PAS
être manipulés tant qu’ils n’ont pas refroidi. Les
accus doivent être éliminés conformément à la
réglementation de votre ville, comté, état ou pays.
Pour des informations supplémentaires, contactez le
bureau d’assistance produit Horizon de votre région
pour consulter un technicien du service aprèsvente.
En cas d’incendie, un extincteur à poudre de classe
D doit être utilisé, ou les accus doivent être placés
dans un sachet spécial pour accus Li-Po.
Directives et avertissements liés à la décharge
• Ne déchargez jamais d’accus à des ampérages
supérieurs à ceux spécifiés sur leurs étiquettes.
• La température des accus ne doit jamais
dépasser 70°C (160°F) pendant la décharge. Les
accus doivent être refroidis de manière adéquate,
en particulier lors des décharges à des taux
proches du maximum.
• Les accus ne doivent jamais être déchargés
jusqu’à une tension inférieure à celle définie par
le fabricant lorsqu’elle est mesurée sous charge
(connectée au véhicule ou à un chargeur capable
de décharger). Les accus déchargés jusqu’à une
tension inférieure à la tension approuvée la plus
faible peuvent être endommagés et entraîner une
baisse de performance, voire un incendie lorsque
les accus sont chargés.
Directives et avertissements supplémentaires
• En cas d’accident, déconnectez les accus
rapidement et en sécurité, puis retirez-les
du modèle. Suivez ensuite les procédures de

ATTENZIONE
LEGGERE E SEGUIRE SCRUPOLOSAMENTE TUTTE
LE ISTRUZIONI E PRECAUZIONI.
AVVERTENZA: LA MANCATA OSSERVANZA
DELLE CORRETTE PROCEDURE, RENDE
PROBABILI DANNI PATRIMONIALI, DANNI
COLLATERALI E GRAVI LESIONI O RENDONO
MOLTO PROBABILI LESIONI SUPERFICIALI.
Se non si ha cura durante l’utilizzo di questo
prodotto e non ci si conforma alle mseguenti
condizioni e linee guida potrebbero verificarsi
malfunzionamenti del prodotto, eccessivo sviluppo
di calore, incendi, danni patrimoniali e in definitiva
lesioni.
Le batterie al litio non sono giocattoli. Ai fini di
questo documento le batterie ioni Li, Polimeri Litio o
Fe-Li saranno chiamate semplicemente “Batterie”.
Linee guida e avvertenze per l’utilizzo e
l’immagazzinaggio
• Non modificare mai, perforare o urtare le batterie
o i relativi componenti.
• Non connettere mai i terminali delle batterie
ad oggetti metallici. Questo risulterebbe nel
cortocircuito della batteria con possibilità di
incendio e del danneggiamento della batteria
stessa.
• Non immagazzinare mai assieme batterie
non fissate perché i terminali delle batterie
potrebbero venire a contatto l’uno con l’altro
provocando un corto circuito.
• Non esporre mai le batterie a temperature
estreme o alla luce diretta del sole. La
temperatura deve essere sempre nell’intervallo
tra 40–120 °F (4 –49 °C).
• Verificare sempre la tensione delle batterie che
sono rimaste fuori servizio per più di sei (6) mesi.
• Scollegare sempre le batterie quando non sono
utilizzate e immagazzinarle in un contenitore
non-conduttivo e resistente al fuoco.
• Per ottenere i risultati migliori, immagazzin-are le
batterie a circa la metà della capacità di carica
nominale riportata sull’etichetta delle batterie
stesse.
Linee guida e avvertenze per il
primo caricamento
• Effettuare un controllo visivo e fisico delle
batterie per verificare la presenza di fili con capi
o connettori allentati o danneggiati, di danni
nell’involucro o di altre anomalie che potrebbero
provocare un corto circuito e un eventuale
incendio.
• Verificare che il terminale positivo delle batterie
sia collegato con il terminale positivo del
caricabatterie. Verificare la polarità con un
voltmetro in caso di dubbi.
• Verificare la tensione delle batterie utilizzando un
voltmetro per essere sicuriche la tensione delle
batterie sia quella riportata sull’etichetta.
Linee guida e avvertenze per il caricamento
Linee guida più complete per il caricamento si
trovano nel manuale del caricabatterie; tuttavia, per
evitare lesioni o danni alle proprietà, è necessario
seguire le avvertenze e le linee guida elencate di
seguito.
• Utilizzare sempre un caricabatterie compatibile
in modalità bilanciata indicato espressamente
per caricare queste batterie. Non utilizzare mai
il caricamento di mantenimento per queste
batterie.
• Caricare sempre queste batterie in uno spazio
aperto lontano da materiali, liquidi e superfici
infiammabili.
• No caricare mai le batterie che si trovano
all’interno del modello.
• Non caricare mai batterie che scottano (sopra
100 gradi Fahrenheit). NON maneggiare le
batterie finché non si sono raffreddate.
• Impostare sempre il caricabatterie con il numero
di celle e/o la tensione indicati sull’etichetta delle
batterie.
• Caricare sempre le batterie alla tensione e
amperaggio descritti sull’etichetta. Il carica
batterie non dovrebbe essere mai settato
nel caricare la batteria a più di 1 C ( uno )
moltiplicato per la capacità della batteria in amp
a meno che questo non sia specificatamente
indicato nella documentazione fornita dal
produttore della batteria. Non variare l’intensità’
della carica una volta che il processo e’ stato
avviato.
• Verificare sempre la tensione delle batterie
prima di una sessione di caricamento in modo
da garantire che sia al di sopra della tensione
minima di avvio in sicurezza. Se la tensione di
avvio è al di sotto dei livelli consigliati allora
le batterie si sono scaricate eccessivamente o
hanno subito un guasto e NON devono essere
caricate.
• Non caricare mai le batterie oltre le capacità
indicate sull’etichetta.
• Prima della carica verificare sempre che la
batteria abbia il cavetto di bilanciamento e che
questo sia collegato correttamente all’apposita
porta del caricabatterie.
I connettori a due poli JST, EC3 o EC5 e il diametro
dei fili della batteria sono stati provati e adattati
per l’uso tipico nelle applicazioni di radiocomando,
anche se le batterie potrebbero avere capacità
più alte. Questi connettori hanno limitazioni di
potenza in quanto le batterie, in certe situazioni,
potrebbero erogare più potenza di quanta ne
possano sopportare i connettori. Se si volesse usare
una batteria Horizon Hobby in qualche applicazione
la cui potenza superi le capacità del connettore, è
responsabilità dell’utilizzatore sostituire il connettore
con uno più adatto alle alte correnti in cui lo si sta
usando.
Linee guida e avvertenze per la sicurezza
Se in qualsiasi momento le batterie risultano
danneggiate, calde o iniziano a ingrossarsi e
a gonfiarsi, interrompere immediatamente il
caricamento (o lo scaricamento). Staccare subito il
caricabatterie in sicurezza. Quindi mettere le batterie
e/o il caricabatterie in un luogo sicuro, all’aperto,
lontano da materiali infiammabili sotto osservazione
in un contenitore omologato per batterie Li-po. Dopo
un’ora, estrarre le batterie cessando di utilizzarle.
NON continuare a maneggiare, cercare di utilizzare
o spedire le batterie. Il mancato rispetto di queste
procedure può provocare danni alle batterie, alle
proprietà o può provocare gravi lesioni.
Le batterie ingrossate o gonfie possono essere
instabili e molto calde. NON toccare le batterie gonfie
finché non si sono raffreddate. Smaltire le batterie
nel modo richiesto dall’amministrazione comunale,
provinciale, regionale o statale. Per avere ulteriori
informazioni, rivolgersi al servizio di assistenza
prodotto di Horizon per parlare con un tecnico.
In caso di incendio, utilizzare un estintore chimico
a secco, Classe D, o riporre le batterie in un
contenitore Li-po omologato.
Linee guida e avvertenze per lo scaricamento
• Non lasciare mai scaricare le batterie a un
amperaggio superiore a quello nominale indicato
sull’etichetta.
• Non lasciare mai che la temperatura delle
batterie superi 160 gradi Fahrenheit durante
lo scaricamento. È necessario raffreddare in
modo adeguato le batterie, in particolare durante
lo scaricamento a velocità prossime a quella
massima.
• Non lasciare mai scaricare le batterie a una
tensione inferiore a quella nominale sotto
carico indicata dal produttore (cioè quando è
collegata al veicolo o a un caricabatterie che
può farla scaricare). Le batterie scari cate a una
tensione inferiore a quella più bassa consentita
possono essere danneggiate, con conseguenti
prestazioni inferiori e pericolo d’incendio quando
vengonocaricate.
Country of Purchase
Ulteriori linee guida e avvertenze
• In caso di urto, staccare subito in sicurezza
le batterie ed estrarle dal modello. Quindi
seguire le procedure di sicurezza indicate
precedentemente.
• Se il liquido contenuto nelle batterie entra a
contatto con la pelle, lavare immediatamente
la zona interessata con acqua e sapone. Se il
liquido entra a contatto con gli occhi, sciacquarli
con acqua abbondante per 15 (quindici) minuti e
richiedere l’immediato intervento di un medico.
