Main Controller(MC)

· Position: the MC is best positioned near the helicopter’s center of gravity, and make sure all ports are accessible when installing the MC so as to facilitate wiring.

· Orientation: orient the MC such that the arrow marked on the above, surface of the MC faces the sky and points directly forward, backward, left or right. The sides of the MC should be precisely parallel to the helicopter body. DO NOT MOUNT THE MC UPSIDE-DOWN.

· Mo un t: u se double-sided foam tape for secured installation. Check the double-sided foam tape or Velcro regularly to ensure that the MC is securely positioned.

· Note: In three-pin ports, pins near the nicks are signal pins.

MC is NOT water-proof or oil-proof.

LED Indicator

· Mo u nt : moun t the LED module t o the helicopter, and make sure that you can

see LED indicator during flight.

· Connect: a USB interface Is for configuration and firmware upgrade by connecting to PC.

Front of MC

Battey

(Optional)GPS& Compass Module

· Position: mount it on the tail boom, between the head-rotor and the tail-rotor. The compass is sensitive to magnetic interference, so position the module at least 20 cm from servos and 30 cm from electric motors. The GPS should not be close to the main rotor head because rotor blades can interfere with GPS satellite signal, the farther from the center of the rotor disk, the better.

· Orientation: the NAZA logo marked on the GPS should face the sky, with the orientation arrow pointing to the helicopter nose direction.

· Mount: use double-sided foam tape for secured installation.

(Optional)BEC

· Conne ct: connect the BEC to the right ports on MC supplying power for NAZA-H and other electronic devices.

· Toggle switch: slide the switch to 7.4V if high-voltage servo is used, else to 5.8V if low-voltage servo is used.

R/C System

· Mount: mount the receiver to the helicopter.

· Connect: connect the receiver to the right ports on MC.
