Transmitter Preparation

Control Stick

Length Adjustment

Neutralizing the Sticks

Both sticks can be adjusted in length: By holding the lower half and turning the upper part of the knurled handle, the screw is loosened. The control stick is extended or shortened by turning it up or down

and then fixed by screwing each against each other of the upper and lower part of the handle.

Both control sticks can be set from neutralizing to non-neutralizing and vice versa. Consult the transmitter backside diagram to locate the corresponding set screws.

The respective screw must be turned clockwise until the control stick is free to move from stop to stop or counterclockwise until the control stick is again self-neutralizing.

Brake and Ratchet

Stick Centering Force

Note

Which of the two control sticks is to be switched to non-neutralizing also depends on the choice of the control mode, see under "Commissioning the transmitter".

On both control sticks, the braking force and strength of the ratchet can be adjusted independently. Consult the transmitter backside diagram to locate the corresponding set screws.

The inner set screw sets the braking force and the outer set screw sets the strength of the ratchet of the vertical control direction of the respective control stick.

The control sticks restoring force can also be adjusted. Consult the transmitter backside diagram to locate the corresponding set screws. By turning the respective set screw, the spring force can be adjusted:

Right turn = return harder Left turn = return softer

Notes

• The control mode selected during setup of the transmitter is stored as a default for models to be set up in the future. Changing the default mode setting can be done in the "Control Mode Preset" option of the "System Config." Submenu of the system menu.

• Within a model memory, the control mode can be also changed at any time in the last value field of the sub-menu "Model Type" of the basic menu.

• Depending on the choice of a control mode, one of the two control sticks may also need to be switched to non-neutralizing, see above under "Neutralizing the control stick".

• Not only the presetting of the control mode but also the language setting can be adapted to the current needs in the sub- menu "System Config." of the system menu as well as date and time in the submenu "Clock Info" of the basic menu.

Page 20 of 49 S1024.mz-32-V2.1-EN

Setting date and time

Date & Time

In this display, the current date and time is entered or corrected as part of the initial setup of the transmitter.

1. Tap on the desired value field. This is displayed in white and selection fields are displayed at the bottom of the display.

2. Use the up "↑" or down " ↓" buttons to select the desired value.

3. If necessary, proceed similarly with the other value fields.

4. Touching the check button closes the current display and switches to the last one.

Touching "Ok" restarts the transmitter and after startup the factory preconfigured first home page appears.

Main Menu

The main display is designed around user editable display widgets that can be changed and adapted to your own personal needs. There are in total six editable decks that can be accessed with the left/right arrow keys on the radio.

Instructions for creating and modifying decks can be found in the help menu or by following our online video tutorials.

System Help

Accessing the context sensitive help is done in each menu by tapping the top right ? of the display. If required, such help pages can also be created and stored by the user in the appropriate directory:

To create your own help page, you can use any paint program such as “Paint” or that comes standard with Windows 10 or Publisher which is part of the Office product suite. There is also a free downloadable version from the Microsoft Store called Paint 3D.

Pages should be in landscape format sized at 440 x 232 pixels. After creating any type of content, save it in "BMP image" format under "Save as" with the file type "24-bit bitmap (* .bmp; *. Dib)". In Paint 3D, under "Save as file" select "Others" and then as storage format "2D-Bitmap (* . bmp)". The storage location is the corresponding subdirectory of the "Help" directory of the transmitter and the file name is the next free three-digit number.

Page 21 of 49 S1024.mz-32-V2.1-EN

Transmitter Switch Off

Press the front ON / OFF switch and hold it until the "Switch off" message display appears. Tapping "back" stops the process. Touching "OK" switches off the transmitter. Alternatively, press and hold the ON / OFF switch until the transmitter shuts off

Menu Functions

The operation of the display is analogous to the operation of other touchsensitive displays, by tapping the desired option with the fingertip or with a pen suitable for capacitive displays. The only exceptions are the status indicators of the six freely configurable main displays, which are outlined in red on the top left.

Note

When the transmitter is on an insulating surface, e.g. on a wooden table, do not tap too strong on the display. The resulting larger fin ger surface on the screen can result in un-responsive behavior of the screen.

Touching the "Menu" field at the bottom right of the main display changes to the last tab of the four tabs or menu lists labeled "Basic", "Function", "Special" and "System".

Tapping a tab changes to the corresponding menu list.

Tapping a menu opens the corresponding menu, for example the submenu "Model Type".

Changing Stick Mode

The same principle is used to setup the desired model type. In case of doubt, context-sensitive help can be called via the symbol ? for further assistance.

The stick mode entered as part of the initial setup of the transmitter is saved as a default in the "System Config." menu and will be automatically used with all models when newly created.

You can still change the mode (MODE1, MODE2 …) independently from the system settings. This can be done in the model types menu by swiping to the end of the model properties bar and tapping on the “Stick Mode” icon.

Stick Mode Change

1. Tap the green "Basic" menu tab.

2. Tap on the "Model Types" icon.

3. Swipe the model properties bar to the left or use the lower left key to go to the end of the selection list.

4. Tap on the "Stick Mode" icon.

5. The selection window "Stick Mode" will show.

Receiver Binding

To establish a connection with the transmitter, a Graupner HoTT receiver must first be "bound" to at least one model memory. This process is generally called "binding" and it needs to be repeated each time a new receiver is installed in a model.

By default, the "binding" of a receiver is always carried out as part of a socalled bind group. When binding an unbound model memory, the next free bind group is automatically suggested. Each time the suggested bind group is accepted the model will have an exclusive bind with that group therefore, a model-specific binding takes place.

The corresponding bind ID is shown in the "Bind" column at the right edge of the model list. Alternatively, a model memory may also be bound "globally" or within a bind group.

Bind Group

For an unbound model memory, the default is the next free binding group. However, if the model memory is unbound the suggested bind group can be changed by tapping the icon on the “Bind Group” field.

You can select from the following options:

• "Global" enables the receiver to respond to the transmitter signal on a non-exclusive basis. What this means is that any other receiver that is bound as global will respond to the transmitter signal of another model memory that was also bound as global. This can be used in situations where for example you have multiple models that are all the same and do not need different model memory settings.

• "Group" enables the receiver to respond exclusively to the group ID assigned during binding. For example, if you bound a receiver to bind group A0 that receiver will not respond to a signal from the transmitter of a model memory that was bound global or for example as group C2.

You can bind another model memory also under bind group C2 which will result in one model memory sharing two receivers under a single bind. What it will do is when both receivers are turned on they will respond simultaneously to the same control inputs of the transmitter.

The use case for this is for example during competition when one airplane becomes inoperative and you would like to continue the contest using an identical airplane without switching model memories on your transmitter to avoid losing time. All you need to

Page 26 of 49 S1024.mz-32-V2.1-EN

do is power the other airplane and wait for the receiver to establish the bind

Note

You can view the associated bind group belonging to a memory model in the "Bind" column on the right-hand edge of the "Model List" submenu.

Attention

If you tap on the bind group bind number ID in the “RF Set” menu the transmitter will release the bind from the active model memory if RF is switched off.

Binding a Model

1. Move the transmitter and receiver at a moderate distance from each other (30cm or 1ft).

2. Switch on the mz-32 HoTT transmitter without switching on the RF or set the RF Transmission to "OFF" in the "RF Set" field of the "RF Set" menu.

3. Switch the receiver power system on.

4. Put the receiver in bind mode according to its manual.

5. In the transmitter display, touch the desired value field "RX1 ... RX4" in the "Bind" column to enable the transmitter-side binding process.

If the bind was successful you will notice in the Rx column of the transmitter the number of receiver channels for example R6, R12 with a highlighted blue background and the LED on the receiver will change its color or state.

In case of an unsuccessful bind change the positions of the devices and repeat the entire procedure.

Removing Existing Bind

1. Switch on the mz-32 HoTT transmitter without switching on the RF or set the RF Transmission to “OFF” in the “RF Set” field of the “RF Set” menu.

2. In the transmitter display, touch the desired value field "RX1 ... RX4" in the "Bind" column to trigger a transmitter-side binding process. The existing binding is deleted during the binding attempt (receiver must be switched off for removing the bind)

Multi Receiver Binding

The mz-32 supports multi receiver binding. You can bind up to four Graupner HoTT receivers. Each bound receiver can add to the total available channels of all receivers bound to a single model.

For example, if the first bound receiver is a 12-channel receiver and the second bound receiver is a 6-channel receiver the total channel count is 18 channels.

Page 27 of 49 S1024.mz-32-V2.1-EN

The transmitter does not automatically enable each bound receiver as part of the channel count. This must be done manually in the RF Set menu. For example, if RX1 is an 8-channel receiver it will serve only channels 1 to 8 on that receiver. When a second 8-channel receiver is bound on RX2 it will serve the exact same channels 1 to 8 on its receiver outputs providing you with two receivers that mirror each other’s channel outputs.

To designate a receiver as a continuation of the channel count of the previous bound receiver you will need to reset the channel mapping in the RF Set menu.

Note

You must verify that you are using the latest firmware on your receiver to enable channel mapping or digital switches.

Channel Mapping

1. Go the RF Set menu and bind two receivers to bind positions Rx1 and Rx2.

2. Verify in the Rx column the channel count of the receiver and its firmware version. For example, an 8-channel receiver will show as R8 and below it will show in small print the firmware version for example

7.04.0.

3. Tap on the Rx column of the second receiver to highlight it. The background will turn to blue and tap again to bring the receiver channel map dialog.

4. Tap on reset to renumber the channels for that receiver. The servo map dialog will now show that the first channel output on the receiver is mapped to channel 9 and when scrolling the channel list down you will notice that receiver output 8 is mapped to channel 16.

You can undo this operation by tapping again on reset which restores the channel numbering.

5. Tapping Ok will activate the new channel mapping. It can be tested by assigning a control in the Control Set menu for example to channel 16 and plugging in a servo on channel 8 of Rx2 to verify channel operation.

Page 28 of 49 S1024.mz-32-V2.1-EN

Range Test

When the range test starts, the output of the transmitter is significantly decreased. A practical functional test can therefore be performed at less than 100 m or 300 ft. After the end of the range test, the transmitter switches back to full output power and the range test signal tone stops.

If necessary, ask someone for help.

1. Verify that the receiver and transmitter are communicating properly and that all control surfaces are functional.

2. Place the model on a flat surface (cement, mowed lawn or ground) with the receiver antenna at least 15 cm or 6 in above ground.

3. Hold the transmitter at hip level at a slight distance from your body.

4. Start the range test in the "RF Set" menu by tapping the icon in the “Range Test” field.

5. The time display begins to count down and a beep will sound throughout the entire range test.

6. Move away from the model within the given 99 seconds range test and move the control sticks while maintaining visual contact.

7. If you notice an interruption in the connection at any time within a distance of about 50 m or 160 ft, try to reproduce it. Try to re-position the receiver antenna and repeat the range test.

8. If possible, switch on an existing motor, to additionally check the interference resistance.

9. Carry out the extended range test before starting up your model, simulating all the control movements occurring in practice. To guarantee a safe model operation, the range must always be at least 50 m or 160 ft on the ground.

CAUTION

Never start a range test on the transmitter during normal model operation!

Digital Switches

The mz-32 HoTT transmitter features 64 digital switches. These can be found in the “Special” menu and can be defined, activated and switched in the submenu “Digital Switch”. In addition, each of these 64 Digital Switches can be arbitrarily placed as a widget on one of the widget pages and operated from there.

Available switching functions are:

• ON/OFF switching function

• Pulsating switching function

• Momentary switching function (0- 10 seconds)

On the receiver side, these digital switches can be assigned to the respectively desired switching channel. Mapping a digital switch to a receiver channel can be done in the “RF Set” menu or directly on the receiver using the “Telemetry” Setting & Data View ASCII menu.

Note

This function is only available with receivers that have been updated with the current firmware release.

When setting digital switches verify that only the intended receiver where such assignment is to be made is active. No other receiver should be active.

Assigning Digital Switches in RF Set

1. Bind the receiver you wish to assign to a digital switch and verify no other receiver is active.

2. Switch to the submenu “RF Set” of the basic menu.

3. Select the receiver you would like to use by tapping on the blue field which is the active receiver.

4. By tapping the blue field with the receiver type a selection window appears.

5. Tap the channel number for which you would like to assign a digital switch.

The tapped field is displayed inverted and a control panel is displayed at the bottom (see left figure).

6. Use the “”- or “” buttons to assign the desired Digital Switch to the selected receiver channel.

In the illustration on the left, for example, the digital switch “D1” is selected at the receiver connection 14 of the receiver (the bound receiver is a GR-32, 16 channel receiver but you can use any HoTT

Page 30 of 49 S1024.mz-32-V2.1-EN

receiver). Touching the check mark in the bottom right confirms the selection.

7. If necessary, proceed identically with other receiver connections.

8. By tapping on the symbol pulse , you can change to level and back to pulse again.

When the symbol pulse is selected, servo pulses are output to the corresponding channel output.

When the symbol level is selected, the output of the corresponding channel is switched to high or low.

Notes

• Switching to level allows the direct connection of transistors or

LEDs to the receiver output via a series resistor.

• For Graupner receivers GR-12 (#33506), GR-16 (#33508), GR-24

(#33512), GR-32 (#33516) and GR-24 PRO (#33583) as well as GR-16L (#S1021), GR-24L (#S1022) and GR-32L (#S1023) series resistors are already installed and LEDs can be connected directly between the orange servo pulse wire and the brown or black “-” wire.

9. Touching “OK” completes the process. Touching “Reset” resets the receiver to the default settings.

In both cases, the display will close, and you will return to the “RF Set” menu.

Assign Digital Switches to Widgets

1. Switch to the submenu “Digital Switch”.

2. Tap on the first “Act” icon to activate the Digital Switch and select the desired mode (On/Off, Pulse or Flash).

3. Connect for example a servo to the channel you designated as Digital Switch.

4. Go to the Home page and select an empty deck or available block and bring up the Widget Editor.

5. Select the “Digital Switch” widget and tap on DS1 which is the digital channel we assigned in the previous step.

6. Test the operation by tapping on the button. You can change its behavior in the “Digital Switch” submenu.

Page 31 of 49 S1024.mz-32-V2.1-EN

Assigning Digital Switches on RX

You can also assign a digital output switches over the Telemetry connection directly in the receiver.

To avoid malfunctioning when assigning digital switches, only the affected receiver may be in operation during their switch assignment.

1. Bind to the desired receiver and, if needed, switch off any other receivers

2. Switch to the “Setting & Data View” submenu of the telemetry menu.

3. Use the right selection key to switch to the “RX FAIL SAVE” page. 4. In the “OUTPUT CH” line, if necessary, select the receiver output to be switched as described under “Function of the cross-shaped keypad”.

In the figure on the left, this is, for example, the receiver connection 10 of the receiver.

4. Change to the “INPUT CH” line.

5. Tap the middle ENTER key to activate the value field.

The value field is displayed inverted:

6. Select the desired digital switch.

In the picture on the left this is for example “D01”.

Setting Controls and Mixers

Both the control characteristics in the submenu Control Set in the basic menu as well as virtually all mixer programming is essentially done in the same way. The corresponding procedure is shown below with reference to the throttle curve.

However, the settings shown have a purely demonstrative purposes only and do not represent real throttle behavior!

Selecting a Curve

1. Enter the desired submenu.

Here is an example of the submenu “Control Set”.

2. On the desired channel touch the detail icon in the “Detail” column for example, throttle.

The display shown on the left will show which is the Basic menu.

3. Tap on the “Other” field in the upper right corner.

The display shown on the left will show which is the Other menu

4. Tap on the “Curve type” icon to select a curve.

Each tap will show a different curve type

The choices are:

• A linear characteristic without points between the endpoints. This

characteristic corresponds to the standard setting.

• A linear characteristic with 5 points evenly distributed between

the endpoints. This characteristic is to be selected as the basis of non-linear characteristics.

• A horizontal curve with a single point in the middle of the control.

The horizontal characteristic curve can only be moved vertically and used, for example as a control offset for a channel for throttle curves or flight controller settings.

5. If needed you can tap on the “Spline” icon which determines if the curve should be “square” or “curved”.

Page 33 of49 S1024.mz-32-V2.1-EN

Setting a Curve

1. Tap on the “Value” menu tab.

2. Move the vertical green line with the control stick to the to the desired point.

The selected point is displayed in red and on the right the number of the point as well as its coordinates are shown in orange rectangles at the lower and left display edge.

3. The selected point can now be moved either horizontally or vertically...

... either by tapping the symbols in increments of 0.1%.

… or by moving the respective yellow rectangle horizontally or vertically with a fingertip or a stylus suitable for touch screens.

Touching the icon resets the value of the selected line back to

the default value.

Adding a Curve Point

1. Use the relevant control to move the vertical green line between two points.

As soon as the plus symbol is visible on the right edge of the display, another point can be set by tapping the symbol. You can add three more points to the existing curve.

2. If necessary, adjust the position of the added point as described above.

3. If necessary, proceed identically with further points.

Deleting a Curve Point

1. Use the relevant control to move the vertical green line to the point to be deleted.

The selected point is displayed in red and the top right shows the number of the point and the minus symbol to the right.

2. Tapping the icon deletes the selected point.

3. If necessary, proceed identically with further points

Page 34 of 49 S1024.mz-32-V2.1-EN

Stick Calibration

If the center position of the self-neutralizing control stick does not correspond exactly to 0% control travel you will need to calibrate your control sticks.

This can be best accomplished with a new model.

1. Change to the “Model list” submenu and create a new model. Any model type will do.

Do not make any further adjustments and do not adjust trims.

2. Bring up the “Servo View” menu by pressing the shortcut key.

3. If all self-control sticks are in their respective neutral/center position the servo view menu will show all channels at 0.0 as shown in the left image.

… If the display looks like the one shown, everything is fine, and the previously saved model memory can be deleted.

… If the display deviates from the desired values, a stick calibration is required.

Stick Calibration

1. Switch to the System Menu and tap on the Stick Set Menu.

2. Tap on the start button and follow the instructions for stick calibration. Please note that you also need to calibrate the two lever controls LV1 and LV2.

3. When successfully completed you will have the option to save or cancel the operation.

Page 35 of 49 S1024.mz-32-V2.1-EN

Servo Display

The Servo View monitor can be called upon at any time by pressing the servo monitor key on the right side of the radio.

The view represents the active positions of any control or switch including mixers. The default screen shows channel 1 … 16. A swipe from the bottom to the top will reveal the additional channels.

The default bar chart view shows the channel position between-150% and +150% and when a control is moved it will show the maximum deflection set for that channel.

When tapping on the Servo View screen the presented view will show a numerical representation of the channels in milliseconds. A value of 1500 ms represents 0% which is the controls middle position.

This view also shows the channel names as assigned by the system or as named by the user.

Page 36 of 49 S1024.mz-32-V2.1-EN

Telemetry

The telemetry connection between the transmitter and receiver takes place via the return channel of the HoTT receiver defined as the main receiver. If more than one receiver is bound to a model memory, the return channel will be by default the last bound receiver. This assignment can be changed in the submenu “RF Set” in the base menu or at the special “Telemetry” menu.

Depending on the setting of the value field at the “Tele. Cycle” the transmission of telemetry data takes place after each fourth data packet. This also influences the reaction time to control inputs when making setting changes at the ASCII menu when setting up for example a flight controller using the wireless interface. The corresponding delay does not constitute an error.

Note

Sensors must always be connected to the main receiver, since only the return channel of this receiver is evaluated by the transmitter.

RX Selection

Attention

Programming on the model or on sensors must not be carried out during ongoing model operation and only when the engine/motor is switched off!

Up to four receivers can be bound to each model memory in the submenu “RF Set”. However, a telemetry connection can only be established to one of these four receivers. The standard telemetry receiver is always the last one bound.

All sensors are to be connected to the receiver that is designated as the receiver from which we expect to receive telemetry information. This is important in a multi receiver configuration and therefore will require proper planning as to the location of the receiver which should be close to where the telemetry sensors are installed.

In the “RF Set” menu the receiver that has the “T.Sel” field checked is the receiver that provides telemetric information to the transmitter

Viewing telemetric information or settings from additional receivers bound to the model can be done by tapping on the “RX Select” field which will show a list with all active receivers to pick from.

This also changes the assignment in the column "T. sel." of the submenu "RF Set". After completing the adjustments, it may be necessary to restore the original assignment!

Telemetry Cycle

In those situations where for example two airplane models are about to be operated at close proximity to another controlled by two separate transmitters you may choose to reduce or eliminate the telemetry back channel of one of the models to avoid potential interference. Situations that may need to be evaluated such as with drones that have a separate transmitter for control and camera operations or airplanes that tow or carry other airplanes can be all pickup interference from the telemetry downlink transmission. Experiment with the proper telemetry period value for your situation.

Value Description

Setting & Data View

This display visualizes the settings and menus of the connected receiver. If there is no connection to a receiver, the submenu can be opened, but the display window remains empty.

A detailed description of the submenus of standard receivers such as the GR-12 or GR-16 can be found in the manual of the receiver model. The appearances may differ depending on the transmitter model, but functionality remains the same. Please note that receivers like the GR-12L, GR-16L, GR24L and GR-32L are functionally the same and therefore there are no functional differences between the receiver models.

Specialty receivers, such as the receivers GR-18 HoTT (No. 33579 or S1019), are equipped with separate versions of the "SETTING & DATA VIEW" menu. The descriptions of these special submenus are contained in the respective receiver manual.

This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause interference and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence.L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category II) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Le présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son numéro de modèle s'il fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne.
