FrSky 2.4GHz ACCST Taranis X-Lite Manual

Thank you for purchasing the FrSky 2.4GHz ACCST X-Lite digital telemetry radio system. As a compact and convenient

Due to unforeseen changes in production, the information contained in this manual is subject to change without notice.

Overview

Ens u r e t h a t t h e b a t t e r y polarity is correct when connecting batteries into the battery compartment, otherwise X-Lite might not be powered on.

X-Lite has 4 centered sticks and will distinguish between the throttle and other sticks. You can change the stick mode and feeling according to your requirement.

Model Setup for X-Lite internal RF Module

Step 1:

Set the Mode for X-Lite Internal RF

Refer to the table below and set the X-Lite to the mode corresponding to your receiver (D8, D16 or LR12).

Older V8 series receivers are not supported by the internal module of X-Lite but can be used with an external DJT module in V8 mode. X-Lite EU version only has D16-EU and LR12 mode.

Step 2:

Set the

Channel Range

The internal RF module of X-Lite supports up to 47 channels. The channel range is configurable, and needs double check before use.

Step 3:

Set the

Receiver Number

When you create a new model, the system will assign you a receiver number automatically, but this can be easily changed. The range of the receiver number is 00-47, with the default number being 01 (use 00 is not recommended). Once the receiver is set to the desired number and is bound to the X-Lite, the bind procedure will not need to be repeated unless the receiver number is changed, In this case, either set the receiver number to the previous one or repeat the bind procedure.

Step 4: Bind

Bind refers to X-Lite binding mode. Move the cursor to

“Bind”

, press

ENTER

button, the cursor will flash and the speaker will beep to remind you that the RF module has entered the bind mode. Then put your receiver into binding mode and finish the bind procedure (refer to the receiver’s manual for details).Press

Enter

EXIT

to exit.

Step 5:

Set

Failsafe mode

There are 4 failsafe modes: No Pulse, Hold, Custom and receiver (this mode only used above opentx-v2.0.0 firmware). Ɣ No Pulse: on loss of signal the receiver produces no pulses on any channel. To use this type, select it in the menu and wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take effect. Ɣ Hold: the receiver continues to output the last positions before signal was lost. To use this type, select it in the menu and wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take effect.

Ɣ Custom: pre-set to required positions on lost signal. Move the cursor to

“Set”

and press

ENTER,

you will see

FAILSAFE SETTING screen below. Move the cursor to the channel you want to set failsafe on, and press

ENTER.

When moving the corresponding sticks or switches, you will see the channel bar moving. Move the channel bar to the place you want for failsafe and long press

ENTER

to finish the setting. Wait 9 seconds before the failsafe takes effect. Ɣ5HFHLYHU set the failsafe on the receiver (see receiver instructions) in D16 or LR12 mode, select it in the menu and wait 9 seconds for the failsafe to take effect.

Notice:

The above instructions do not apply to D-series receivers, which require the internal RF module of X-Lite to be in D8 mode. For these receivers, failsafe must be set on the receiver side (see receiver instructions)

Step 6: Range

Range refers to X- L i t e range check mode. A pre-flight range check should be done before each flying session. Move the cursor to

“Range”

and press

ENTER.

In range check mode, the effective distance will be decreased

to 1/30. Press

Please connect a battery in the battery compartment before use (18500 Li-ion batteries are not included). The voltage range should be DC 6.0~8.4V. Be careful not to drop the battery. Do not remove the battery from the X-Lite transmitter while the voltage warning is blinking as this could cause internal settings and memories to be destroyed. Do not use the transmitter if a “Backup Error” warning occurs.

Model Setup for X-Lite external RF Module

Toensure the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following precautions.

Have regular maintenance performed.

Although your X-Lite protects the model memories with non-volatile EEPROM memory (which does not require periodic replacement) and of a battery, it still should have regular check-ups for wear and tear. We recommend sending your system to your FrSky Service Centre annually during during your non-flying-season for a complete che ck-up and service.

The MicroSD card (not provided with X-Lite) can store various files, such as model data, music, sound files, pictures and text. The card is locked when it is pushed in all the way in. To remove the card, push in on the card again, it will pop out allowing you to remove it.

Read data from a PC

Music and image files edited by a PC can be transferred onto the MicroSD card and used on your X-Lite transmitter. Equipment for reading and writing MicroSD cards is available at most electronics stores.

Stored data

The life of the MicroSD card is limited due to the use of Flash memory. If you have a problem saving or reading data after a long period of use you may need to purchase a new MicroSD card. Ɣ We are not responsible for, and cannot compensate for any failure to the data stored in the memory card for any reason. Be sure to keep a backup of your models and data in your MicroSD card.

Ɣ X-Lite transmitters and MicroSD cards use non-volatile memory devices so that the data stored is retained,

even without a backup battery. Nevertheless, it is good practice to back up the data in the transmitter to the MicroSD card.

Ɣ The clock for the transmitter does depends on the internal battery, which may need to be replaced occasionally.

FrSky is continuously adding features and improvements to our radio systems. Updating (via USB Port or the MicroSD card) is easy and free. To get the most from your new transmitter, please check the download section of the FrSky website www.frsky-rc.com for the latest update firmware and guide for adjusting your sticks.

Ɣ The currently pre-installed firmware of X-Lite is modified from OpenTX firmware, improved and well tested by

FrSky and the developing union.

Ɣ More in formation about OpenTX can be found on: http://openrcforums.com.

Using a fully charged battery (DC 6.0~8.4V). A low battery will soon die, causing loss of control and a crash. When you begin your flying session, reset your transmitter’s built-in timer, and during the session pay attention to the duration of usage. Also, if your model uses a separate receiver battery, make sure it is fully charged before each flying session.
