Before use

We are glad that you have chosen a Graupner mz-18 HoTT or mz-24 HoTT 2.4 GHz remote control system. This system is extremely versatile and can be used by both beginners and experts.

Please carefully review this manual to achieve the best results with your remote control, and especially for safe ﬂying. If any difﬁculties arise during use, consult the manual, contact your dealer, or contact the Graupner Service Center.

Due to technical changes, the information within this manual may be changed without prior notiﬁcation.

Introduction

The Graupner remote-control system can be used to control airplanes, gliders and helicopter models, and is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a superior remote-control system. The HoTT system transmits a range of real-time data such as the motor speed, voltage, temperature, warnings programmed by the user, etc. Such data are for example transmitted directly from a HoTT-compatible governor without requiring additional sensors. Of course, these data can also be transmitted from separately-connectable sensors that are compatible with the HoTT system.

WARNING:

Read all of the instructions so that you become familiar with how to operate the

system before you start using it. Misuse can damage the system, cause property damage and/or serious injury.

Safety instructions

Additional instructions and warnings

Technical defects of electrical or mechanical nature may cause motors to start without warning, or may generate ﬂying parts which

can cause signiﬁcant injury to both you and others. Avoid short-circuits in any circumstance. Shor t-circuits

can destroy parts of the remote control system and cause serious burns or explosions depending on the circumstances and the battery charge.

All parts driven by the motor such as air and water propellers as well as helicopter rotors, exposed gears, etc. always pose an injury hazard. Never touch these parts! A fast-rotating propeller can cut off a ﬁnger! Make sure that no other objects come into contact with driven parts.

Once the battery is connected or the motor is running, always maintain a safe distance from the hazard area posed by the propulsion system.

While programming, make sure that a connected gas motor or electric motor cannot start accidentally. Disconnect the fuel supply or drive battery beforehand.

Protect all equipment from dust, dirt, moisture and other foreign parts. All equipment must be protected from vibration as well as excessive heat or cold. The models may only be operated remotely in normal outside temperatures such as from -10°C to +55°C.

Avoid impacts and crushing. Check for damage to the housing and cables. Devices that become wet or damaged may not be used anymore even if they dry out.

Only use the components and recommended spare parts. Always use matching, original Graupner plug-in connectors of the same design and material.

When running the cables, make sure that they are not excessively tight, kinked, or severed. A sharp edge may damage insulation.

Make sure that all of the plug-in connectors are tight. When disconnecting the plug-in connectors, do not pull the cables.

No changes may be made to the devices. This will void permission to use the device along with the warranty. If

appropriate, send the relevant device to the responsible Graupner service center; see page 227.

Installing the receiver

For ﬂying models, the receiver is installed behind a strong rib and is protected against

dust and splash water in car and ship models. When you install your receiver, make sure that it is not excessively airtight to prevent it from overheating during operation.

The receiver may not not directly touch the fuselage or chassis since this may can directly transmit motor vibration or impact from landing. When installing the receiver in a model with a gas motor, all of the parts must be protected to prevent exhaust or oil from penetrating. This holds true in particular for the ON/OFF switch that is installed in the shell of the model in most cases.

Install the receiver so that the connecting cables for the servos and power supply remain loose, and so that the receiving antennas are at least 5 cm from all large metal parts or wires that do not directly originate from the receiver. This includes carbon ﬁber parts, servos, electric motors, fuel pumps, all types of cables, etc. in addition to metal parts.

It is preferable to install the receiver away from all other installed parts at an easily accessible location in the model. Servo cables may not be wound around antennas or run next to them.

Make sure that the cables cannot shift to lie directly adjacent to antennas during ﬂight.

Installing the receiver antennas

The receiver and antennas should be as far away as possible from drives of all kinds. If the tails are made of carbon ﬁber, the ends of the antennas should extend from the fuselage by at least 35 mm. If necessary, exchange the approx. 145 mm standard antennas of HoTT receivers with longer antennas.

It does not matter how the antennas are aligned. However, a vertical installation of a single receiver antenna in the model is advantageous. In the case of

diversity antennas (two antennas), the active end of the second antenna should be at a 90° angle from the end of the ﬁrst antenna, and the distance between the active ends should ideally be more than 125 mm.

Installing the servos

Always install the servos with the provided rubber vibration damper as shown in the "Installation instructions" on page 34. This is the only way to protect them somewhat from excessive vibration.

Installing the linkages

The linkage must be installed so that it is unhindered and can move easily. It is particularly important for all a rudder levers to execute their entire range of movement without any mechanical restrictions.

To make it possible for running motors to be stopped at any time, the linkage must be adjusted so that the carburettor is completely closed when the throttle control stick and trim are moved into idling end position.

Make sure that no metal parts rub against each other when moving the rudder, vibrations, rotating parts, etc. This may produce glitches and malfunction of receiver.

Aligning the transmitter antenna

The ﬁeld strength emitted from the transmitter antenna when it is pointing in a straight line is weak. It is therefore incorrect to point the transmitter antenna directly to the model in the belief that this will increase reception.

When a number of remote control systems are being used at the same time, the pilots should stand next to each other in a loose group. Pilots standing away from the group pose a danger both to their own model and those of others.

If two or more pilots are using a 2.4 GHz remote control system and are closer than 5 m from each other, it can cause interference with the feedback channel, and a range warning may be generated too early. The pilots should move away from each other until the range warning stops.

Checklist before starting Before turning on the receiver, make sure that the

throttle control stick is at stop/idle.

Always switch on the transmitter before the receiver.

Always switch off the receiver before

switching off the transmitter.

WARNING:

If this sequence is not observed and the receiver is switched on while the associa-

ted transmitter is "OFF", the receiver can respond to other transmitters, interference, etc. This can cause the model to move in an uncontrolled manner and cause property damage or personal injury.

When models have a mechanical gyro, the following holds true:

Before turning on your receiver, make sure that the motor cannot start unintentionally by disconnecting the power supply.

When the gyro is running down, it frequently generates so much voltage that the receiver thinks that the throttle signals are okay. This can cause the motor to start unintentionally.

Range and function test

Before every use, check the range and

functioning. Firmly secure the model, and

make sure that no one is nearby. Perform at least one complete range and function

test on the ground, and run through an entire ﬂight simulation to determine if there are any problems with the system or the programming of the model. Follow the instructions on page 77.

WARNING:

If the range and function test as well as the

ﬂight simulation are not performed

completely and conscientiously, malfunctions may go unrecognized and reception may be lost which could cause a loss of control or even cause the model to crash. This can result in major property damage and/or

personal injury.

Operating models: Airplane, helicopter, ship and automobile

WARNING:

•

close to power lines. In addition, never operate your model close to locks and open nautical trafﬁc. Do not operate your model on open roads, highways, paths, public walkways, etc.

• Never switch off the transmitter while operating the model! If this nonetheless accidentally happens, do not panic, and wait until the transmitter display goes dark which indicates that the transmitter is completely off. This will take at least 3 seconds. After this time, switch on the transmitter again. Otherwise, the transmitter may freeze directly after being switched on, and you will be unable to control the model. The transmitter may only be switched on again after it has been switched off and the described procedure has been correctly repeated.

the rudder are noticeably slower. Replace damaged batteries in a timely manner.

Always follow the manufacturers charging instructions. Do not charge the batteries without monitoring them.

Never attempt to charge dry batteries. An acute explosion hazard exists.

All batteries must be charged before each use. To prevent short-circuits, ﬁrst plug the banana plugs of the charging cable into the charger (make sure the poles are correct). Then plug in the charging cable plugs into the sockets of the transmitter and receiver battery.

If you are not going to use your model for a while, disconnect all power sources.

Never use rechargeable or replaceable batteries with damaged, defective or different cell types; that is, a mixture of old and new cells, or cells by a different manufacturer.

Capacity and operating time

The following applies to all power sources: The capacity decreases with each charge. At low temperatures, the internal resistance increases while the capacity decreases further. As a result, the battery's ability to discharge and retain power is reduced.

Frequently charging and/or using battery care programs can also gradually reduce the capacity. Nevertheless, check the capacity of power sources at least every six months, and replace them if their performance is signiﬁcantly low.

Only use original Graupner rechargeable batteries!

Suppressing interference in electric motors

All conventional electric motors generate sparks between the collector and

operation of the remote control system depending on the type of motor.

Interference-suppressed electric motors are therefore required for the system to work well. Particularly when the models have an electric drive, the interference for each motor must be carefully suppressed. Noise

brushes which more or less interfere with the

Safety instructions

ﬁlters largely suppress such interference and must be installed.

Follow the related instructions in the motor's operation and installation instructions.

Additional details on noise ﬁlters can be found in the main Graupner FS catalogue or on the Internet at www. graupner.de.

Servo noise ﬁlters for extension cables

Order No. 1040 The servo noise ﬁlter is required when using longer-

than-usual servo cables. The ﬁlter is connected directly to the receiver output. In critical cases, a second ﬁlter can be placed on the servo.

Electronic speed controllers

The performance of the electric motor determines which electronic speed controller is used.

To keep the speed controller from overloading or becoming damaged, the current carrying capacity of the speed controller should be at least 150 % that of the maximum stall current of the motor.

Exercise caution with tuning motors, because they only have a few windings and take several times their rated current in a stall which can destroy the speed controller.

Electrical ignitions

Ignition systems of gas motors also generate interference that may impair the correct function of remote controls.

The power supply for electrical ignitions should always be from a separate source.

Only use interference-suppressed spark plugs and spark plug connectors and shielded ignition cables.

The receiver should be at a sufﬁcient distance from the ignition system.

Static energy

WARNING:

Magnetic shock waves generated by lightning can cause remote control systems to malfunction even if the

lightning is miles away. If a thunderstorm is approaching, land your model. Static discharge via the antenna can also be life-threatening.

Note:

• To satisfy the high-frequency transmission

be maintained between the transmitter antenna and people. Operation at a closer distance is therefore not recommended.

• Make sure that no other transmitter is closer than 20 cm to prevent electrical malfunctions and impairment of emissions.

• To operate the remote control system, the country setting must be correct for the transmitter. This is required to satisfy the various national guidelines (FCC, ETSI, CE, etc.). Follow the respective instructions for the transmitter and receiver.

• Before each ﬂight, perform at least one complete range and function test, and run through an entire ﬂight simulation to determine if there are any problems with the system or the programming of the model. Follow the instructions on page 77.

• Never program the transmitter or receiver while using the model.

• Before each use, make sure that the batteries are in a satisfactory condition. Defective or damaged cells or batteries may not be used.

• Cells and batteries may only be used in accordance with the technical speciﬁcations for the speciﬁc cell type.

• Batteries and cells may not be heated, burned, short-circuited or charged with excessive current or with reversed polarity.

• Batteries from parallel-connected cells, combinations of old and new cells, cells of different makes, sizes, capacities, manufacturers, brands or type may not be used.

• Batteries which have been installed in a device should always be removed when the device is not being used. Always switch off devices after you have ﬁnished using them to prevent battery drainage. Be sure to charge the batteries in a timely manner.

• While they are being charged, the batteries must be placed on a nonﬂammable, heat-resistant and nonconductive surface. Combustible or highly ﬂammable objects are to be kept away from the charging area.

• Batteries must be monitored while they are being charged. The maximum charging current speciﬁed for the respective cell type may not be exceeded.

• If the battery heats up above 60°C while it is being charged, stop charging and let the battery cool down to approximately 30°C.

• Do not charge batteries that have already been charged, are hot, or have not discharged to the speciﬁed level.

Batteries as well as individual cells are not toys and must be kept from children. They must therefore be stored out of the reach

• The batteries may not be modiﬁed. Do not directly solder or weld the cells.

• If handled improperly, there is a danger of ﬁre, explosion, irritation and burns. To extinguish a ﬁre, use a ﬁre extinguishing blanket, CO2 extinguisher or sand.

• Leaked electrolyte is caustic and should not be touched or come into contact with your eyes. In case of emergency, rinse with a large quantity of water and then consult a physician.

• The valve openings for the cells should never be blocked or sealed, for example with solder. When soldering, the maximum soldering temperature of 220°C should not exceed 20 seconds.

• To avoid deformation, avoid excessive mechanical pressure.

• If the batteries overheat, proceed as follows: Disconnect the battery, and place it on a nonﬂamm-

able surface (such as cement) until it cools down. Never hold the battery in your hand due to the risk of explosion.

• Make sure to observe the charging and discharging instructions.

General instructions

The battery capacity decreases each time it is charged and discharged. Storage can also gradually reduce the battery's capacity.

Storage

Batteries may only be stored completely discharged in dry rooms with an ambient temperature of +5°C to +25°C.

NOTE:

The cell voltage should not fall below 1.2 V when stored for a long time. Before being stored, the battery may have to be charged.

Equalizing the individual battery cells

• To adjust the cells of a new battery to each other, charge them normally to the maximum charge. As a

rule of thumb, charge empty batteries for 12 hours with a current which is 1/10 of the rated capacity (the "1/10 C" method) The cells will then all have the same charge. The cell charge should be equalized about every 10th charge in order to extend the life of the battery.

• If you are able to discharge individual cells, do this before each charging. Otherwise, the battery pack should be discharged to 0.9 V per cell. With the fourpack used in the transmitter, this corresponds for example to a discharge voltage of 3.6 V.

Charging

While charging, the speciﬁed current, charging time and temperature range should be observed under constant monitoring. If you do not have a suitable fast charger that allows the charging current to be precisely adjusted, charge the battery the usual way using the 1/10 C method (see the example above).

Given the different charges of the cell, transmitter batteries should be charged using the 1/10 C method whenever possible. The charging current should never exceed the maximum permissible level indicated in the transmitter instructions.

Fast charging

If your charger has this option, set the delta peak cutoff voltage to 5 mV per cell. Most chargers are permanently set to 15 … 20 mV per cell and can therefore be used for both NiCd batteries as well as NiMH batteries. In case of doubt, consult the operating instructions or the dealer to determine whether your device can handle NiMH batteries. In case of doubt, charge your batteries with one-half the indicated maximum charging current.

Discharging

All of the batteries that are sold by Graupner and GMRacing can handle a maximum continuous charging

current of 6… 13 C depending on the battery type (refer to the manufacturer's speciﬁcations). The battery life decreases as the continuous current load increases.

Reﬂex charging as well as charging/discharging pro-

Safety instructions and handling guidelines for lithium-ion and lithium polymer rechargeable batteries

As is the case with all high-quality products, the following safety instructions and handling guidelines must be observed to ensure long, trouble-free and safe use of lithium-ion and polymer batteries.

Lithium-ion/lithium polymer batteries require special treatment. This is true when charging, discharging, storing and all other types of handling. Observe the following speciﬁcations:

voided upon incorrect charging or discharging.

• Only use the approved chargers with the associated charging cables to charge lithium-ion/lithium polymer batteries. Any alterations to the charger or charging cables can cause serious damage.

• The maximum charging capacity must be limited to a factor of 1.05 of the battery capacity.

Example: 700 mAh battery = 735 mAh max. charging capacity

• To charge and discharge lithium-ion/lithium polymer batteries, only use the plug-in charger in the set, or the specially designed charger/dischargers by Graupner, see page 16 or listed at www.graupner. de.

• Make sure that the number of cells, charging cutoff and discharging cutoff voltage are set correctly. Refer to the operating instructions of your charger/ discharger.

• Under these prerequisites, Graupner lithium-ion/ lithium polymer batteries can be charged with a maximum 2 C (1 C corresponds to the cell capacity) charging current. Starting at a maximum 4.2 V per cell, continue charging at a constant 4.2 V per cell until the charging current falls below 0.1… 0.2 A.

• Do not charge with more than 4.20 V per cell. This

would permanently damage the cell and may cause a ﬁre. To keep from overcharging individual cells within the pack, set the cutoff voltage between 4.10 … 4.15 V per cell in order to extend the battery life.

• The permissible temperature range for charging and discharging lithium-ion/lithium polymer batteries is 0 … +50 °C.

• Batteries as well as individual cells are no toys and must be kept from children. They must therefore be stored out of the reach of children.

• Keep batteries away from infants and small children. If a battery is swallowed, immediately consult a physician or go to an emergency room.

• Never place a battery in a microwave or under pressure. This may cause smoke, ﬁre or an explosion.

• Do not disassemble lithium-ion/lithium polymer batteries. Disassembling a battery can cause internal short-circuits. This same results in the release of gas, ﬁre and explosion, or other problems.

• The electrolyte and electrolyte vapours within lithium-ion/lithium polymer batteries are hazardous to health. Avoid direct contact with electrolytes. If the electrolyte comes into contact with your skin, eyes or other body parts, use a large amount of fresh water for rinsing and then consult a doctor.

• Before each use, make sure that the batteries are in a satisfactory condition. Defective or damaged cells or batteries may not be used.

• Cells and batteries may only be used in accordance with the technical speciﬁcations for the speciﬁc cell type.

• Batteries and cells may not be heated, burned, short-circuited or charged with excessive current or with reversed polarity.

If handled improperly, there is a danger of ﬁre, explosion, irritation and burns. To extinguish a ﬁre, use a ﬁre extinguishing blanket, CO2 extinguisher or sand.

• If the batteries overheat, proceed as follows: Disconnect the battery, and place it on a

nonﬂammable surface (such as cement) until it cools down. Never hold the battery in your hand due to the risk of explosion.

• Batteries from parallel-connected cells, combinations of old and new cells, cells of different makes, sizes, capacities, manufacturers, brands or type may not be used.

• Batteries which have been installed in a device should always be removed when the device is not being used. Always switch off devices after you have ﬁnished using them to prevent battery drainage. Dead lithium-ion/lithium polymer batteries are considered defective and may not be reused.

• Be sure to charge the batteries in a timely manner. While they are being charged, the batteries must be placed on a nonﬂammable, heat-resistant and nonconductive surface. Combustible or highly ﬂammable objects are to be kept away from the charging area.

• Batteries must be monitored while they are being charged. The maximum charging current speciﬁed for the respective cell type may not be exceeded.

• You may only charge a pack of series-connected lithium-ion/lithium polymer batteries all at once as long as the voltage of the individual cells does not deviate by more than 0.05 V, or if the differences in voltage are monitored and equalized by a balancer connector using a balancer or equalizer during charging.

The lithium-ion battery in the set comes with a special safety shut off. The voltage differences between individual cells are therefore not balanced by means of the usual balancer plug-in connector.

• If the battery heats up above 60 °C while it is being charged, stop charging and let the battery cool down to approximately 30 °C.

• The batteries may not be modiﬁed. Do not directly solder or weld the cells.

• To avoid deformation, avoid excessive mechanical pressure.

• Make sure to observe the charging and discharging instructions.

Storage

Lithium lithium-ion/lithium polymer cells should be stored charged with 10-20% of their

lithium-ion/lithium polymer cells must be recharged to 10-20% of the full capacity. Otherwise, the battery will die during storage and become useless.

never exceed +70°C. Otherwise, make sure that the battery is sufﬁciently cooled, or reduce the discharge current. The temperature can be easily checked using the infrared thermometer (order No. 1963). However, the battery may not be discharged using the transmitter's charging socket. This socket is not designed for this purpose.

The battery capacity decreases each time

it is charged and discharged. Charging

when the temperature is too high or too

low can also gradually reduce the battery's capacity. After 50 cycles, the battery capacity of models is only 50-80% of that of a new battery due to the occasionally high discharge current and induction current of the motor, even when all charging and discharging instructions have been followed.

• Batteries may only be series-connected or parallelconnected in exceptions since the cell capacity and charge can differ. The battery packs that we supply are therefore preferable.

• The connectors of lithium-ion/lithium polymer batteries are not as robust as other batteries. This holds true particularly for the plus connector. The connectors can easily break.

Cell connector

Direct soldering on the battery cells is not permitted.

The heat from direct soldering can damage

battery components such as the separator or isolator. Battery connectors should only be created by spot

welding in the factory. If the cable is missing or severed, have it repaired professionally by the manufacturer or dealer.

Replacing individual battery cells

Individually battery cells may only be exchanged by the manufacturer or dealer and not by the user.

Do not use damaged cells

Damaged cells may not be used. Indications of damaged cells include damaged

housing packaging, deformed cells, the smell of electrolyte or leaking electrolyte. The battery may not be used in these cases.

Damaged or useless cells are considered hazardous waste and must be disposed of properly.

General warnings

Batteries may not be immersed in liquid such

as tap water, sea water or beverages. Avoid all

contact with liquids of any kind.

General operating instructions

mz-18 and mz-24 HoTT transmitters

Transmitter power supply

The mz-18 HoTT transmitter comes standard with a rechargeable NiMH battery with 2000 mAh capacity, and the mz-24 HoTT transmitter comes standard with a 1s2p lithium-ion battery with 4000 mAh capacity (subject to modiﬁ cation).

The standard battery installed in the transmitter is uncharged upon delivery.

The transmitter battery voltage should be monitored in the LCD display during operation. Once the adjustable voltage in the "battery warning threshold" is reached in the "Etc.Set" submenu of the system menu, page 202, a standard 4.8 V (NiMH) for the mz-18 HoTT transmitter and 3.6 V (lith.) for the mz-24 HoTT transmitter, a warning beep sounds, and the following window appears in the display:

Note:

•

Make sure that the correct battery type has been set in the submenu "Etc.Set" of the system menu, page 202!

• In a special calibration menu that can be opened by touching the voltage display in the basic display of the transmitter using a ﬁ nger or the provided stylus, the real displayed voltage can be ﬁ ne-tuned (see "Battery warning" on page 202).

The rechargeable NiMh battery of the mz-18 HoTT transmitter or the 1s2p lithium-ion battery of the mz-24 HoTT transmitter may be charged as described below using the charging socket on the rear labelled CHARGE with the provided plug-in charger:

The charging socket comes standard with a protective diode that protects against polarity reversal. Original Graupner automatic chargers recognize the battery charge. Note the setting instructions of the charger which is used.

Polarity of the mz charging socket

The charging cables available on the market by other manufacturers frequently have different polarities. For this reason, you should only use original Graupner charging cables with order No. 3022.

Charging the transmitter battery using the plug-in charger

The charging time with the plug-in charger provided in the set may be up to 15 hours depending on the existing transmitter battery charge.

Do not use plug-in

chargers by other manufacturers or chargers designed for different battery types. If the output voltage is too high or the plug polarity is incorrect (see above), it can cause signiﬁ cant damage. We recommend labelling the plug-in charger.

Consult the corresponding safety instructions on pages 4 … 12.

The transmitter must be switched off while

charging. Never switch on the transmitter

when it is connected to the charger. If the charging is interrupted even for a short time, the charging voltage can rise enough to immediately damage the transmitter from overvoltage. You should therefore make sure that all plug-in connectors are well-seated.

For charging the transmitter battery, the charging cable with order No. 3022 is required, and for charging the receiver battery, the charger cable with order No. 3021 is required.

Other chargers as well as details on the listed chargers can be found in the main Graupner FS catalogue or on the Internet at www.graupner.de.

First plug the banana plugs of the charging cable into the charger, and then plug the

other end of the charging cable into the transmitter charging socket. Never connect the bare ends of the plugs of a charging cable that is already connected to the transmitter!

Description of the transmitter - General operating instructions

To prevent damage to the transmitter, the charging current should generally not exceed 1.5 A. Limit the charge current if necessary.

Removing the transmitter battery

To remove the transmitter battery, ﬁ rst remove the cover of the battery compartment on the back of the transmitter.

Battery connecting plug

Then disconnect the transmitter battery plug by carefully pulling the supply cable. Then lift the battery and pull it gently off of the velcro.

(The display shows the battery for the transmitter mz-24 HoTT.)

Inserting the transmitter battery

The battery connector is protected by two bevelled edges from polarity reversal when plugging in. The free socket of the battery connector faces upward at the bottom of the battery compartment as can be seen in

the following picture. The plus pole (red cable) is in the middle, and the minus pole (brown or black cable) is on the side facing the battery.

Never forcefully insert the plug into the socket on the transmitter board.

Then place the battery into the compartment, and close the battery cover.

Battery operating time in the bottom left display

The time (green) is automatically reset to 0:00 once the transmitter battery voltage is recognizably higher than the most recent voltage after the transmitter is started, and the display shows the cumulative operating time of the transmitter since last charging.

General charging instructions

•

transmitter, the transmitter charging current should generally not exceed 1.5 A. Limit the charge current if necessary.

If the transmitter battery is charged with more than

1.5 A, it must be charged outside of the transmitter. Otherwise, the printed circuit board may be damaged from overloading the printed connectors and/or overheating the battery.

• Perform a few test charges to make sure that the automatic cutoff of automatic chargers works. This is especially true when you want to use an automatic charger to charge the NiMH battery which comes standard in the mz-18 HoTT transmitter, or the lithium battery which comes standard in the mz-24 HoTT transmitter. Monitor the cutoff behaviour if the charger that you are using has this option.

• Do not discharge the battery or run battery care programs using the charging socket. The charging socket is only for charging.

• Always ﬁrst connect the charging cable to the charger, and then connect it to the receiver or transmitter battery. This prevents unintentional short-circuiting with the bare ends of the charging cable plug.

• If the battery becomes hot, check the battery and exchange it or reduce the charging current.

• Do not charge the batteries without monitoring them.

• Follow the safety instructions and handling guidelines starting page 4.

Follow the charging instructions of the charger manufacturer and battery manufacturer.

Do not exceed the maximum permissible charging current of the battery manufacturer. To prevent damage to the

Adjusting the control sticks

Both the left and right control sticks can optionally be set from neutralizing to non-neutralizing and vice versa. The resetting force on the control sticks can be set to the pilot's preferences. The related adjusting system is on the back of the transmitter in the battery compartment, under the rubber covers, and under the side grips attached with double-sided adhesive tape (see the marks in the following picture). Make the desired adjustment by turning the relevant setscrew using a Phillips or standard screwdriver. Hold the control stick tight as a precaution:

1 2

• 1 and 2 / 9 and 10

Adjust the braking force with the outermost of the two screws, and adjust the strength of the control stick ratchet using the innermost screw.

• 4 and 5 / 7 and 8

Adjust the return force of the control direction by turning the relevant setscrew using a Phillips or standard screwdriver.

9 10

• 3 and 6

To change the standard setting of the left and right control sticks, turn the screw toward the inside of the transmitter until the relevant control stick can move freely from stop to stop, or turn it outward until the control stick resets itself independently.

Adjusting the length of the control sticks

Both control sticks can be gradually adjusted over approximately 8 mm to adapt the transmitter control to the pilot's preferences.

Hold down the bottom half of the knurled grip, and loosen the screwed connection by turning the top part:

You can now lengthen or shorten the control stick by screwing it up or down. Then clamp the top and bottom part of the grip by rotating them against each other.

The two control sticks come with digital trim. Brieﬂ y touch the trim switch to move the neutral position of the control stick by a speciﬁ c value with each click. Hold down the switch to move the trim in the corresponding direction with increasing speed.

The adjustment is made audible by tones of varying levels. It is therefore easy to ﬁ nd the middle position during ﬂ ight without looking at the display. If you go past the middle position, a brief pause is inserted.

The current trim values are automatically saved when the model memory is changed. In addition, the digital trim functions within a memory in speciﬁ c relation to the Quick Link (with the exception of the trim of the Throttle/ brake valves or the gas/pitch control stick called control function "THR" (channel 1)).

When a gas motor is selected in the "Drive type" display, page 47, the trim of the throttle control stick only functions for wing or helicopter models in the bottom half of the control stick path, that is, only in the starting range.

The current trim positions are displayed numerically and graphically in the transmitter's basic display (see the picture on the left and on the next page) as well as in a special display, see page 88.

DSC socket

The abbreviation "DSC" is from the initial letters of the original function, "direct servo control". With the HoTT system, "direct servo control" using a diagnostic cable is not possible for technical reasons.

The standard two-pin DSC socket on the back of the mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT transmitters functions as a trainer or pupil socket as well as an interface for ﬂ ight simulators or other external devices.

To ensure a correct DSC connection, observe the following:

1. Perform any necessary adaptations in the menu. To adapt to the transmitter to a trainer system, see

page 107.

2. Connect the other end of the connecting cable to the desired device while observing the relevant operating instructions.

Important:

Make sure that all the plugs are securely inserted in the respective

plug-in connectors with a 2-pin jack plug on the DSC side.

3. In the "Transmitter control" submenu, page 74, you can set one of the following modes in the "DSC output" line depending on the number of functions to be transmitted: PPM10, PPM16, PPM18 and PPM24. Default: PPM10.

Instructions regarding ﬂ ight simulators:

The so-called DATA socket is found under the back cover of the mz-18 HoTT mz-24 HoTT transmitters:

This is for connecting the optional Smart Box (order No. 33700).

Further information on the Smart Box can be found in the main Graupner FS catalogue and on the Internet at www.graupner.de for the respective product.

The headphone connector is found left of center under the back cover of the mz-18 HoTT mz-24 HoTT transmitters:

The socket is for connecting commercially available earbuds or headphones with a 3.5 mm stereo jack (not included in the set). When headphones are plugged in, the transmitter's speaker is switched off, and the stylized icon of a headphone is depicted in colour and not grey

in the basic display, see page 20.

In addition acoustic signals from the transmitter, signals and messages associated with the "Telemetry" menu are output via this connector. These messages are in German language by default. Further information can be found under "Messages" in the section "Telemetry" starting on page 114.

Card slot

micro-SD and micro-SDHC

The card slot for micro-SD and micro-SDHC memory cards is found right of center under the back cover of the mz-18 HoTT mz-24 HoTT transmitters:

In addition to the micro-SD memory cards that come standard, all conventional micro-SD memory cards with up to 2 GB and micro-SDHC cards with up to 32 GB memory can be used. The manufacturer recommends using memory cards with a maximum of 4 GB since this capacity is normally sufﬁ cient.

The memory card delivered with the transmitter like the memory cards used in digital cameras or cell phones is inserted into the slot behind the cover with the contacts facing up and then locked in place. After insertion of the memory card, the transmitter cover can be closed.

When the provided memory card or another memory card has been inserted in the transmitter at least once, the card is ready for use directly after the transmitter is switched on. If the transmitter is switched on after the memory card is inserted, the stylized memory card icon is displayed in colour and not grey in the basic display, see page 20. Otherwise, a few folders are ﬁ rst created on the memory card.

Removing the memory card

Open the cover on the back. Press the SD card slightly toward the card slot to unlock it and then remove it.

card is in the card slot and there is a telemetry link with the receiver. Data storage stops when the timer 1 stops. Timer 1 starts and stops as described in the section "Timer" on page 80.

After data storage is ﬁ nished, an (empty) "Models" folder and "LogData" folder appear on the memory card. Finally, the log ﬁ les are saved in subfolders called "Modelname" named according to the structure 0001_year-month-day.bin, 0002_year-month-day. bin. If in contrast a model memory is still nameless, the corresponding log ﬁ les are saved in a subfolder entitled "NoName" after the memory card is removed from the transmitter and inserted in the card slot of a desktop or laptop computer. The data can be evaluated on a compatible computer using the programs found on the downloads page for the transmitter under www. graupner. de.

Introductory remarks on the mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT transmitters

Theoretically, the Graupner-HoTT system allows more than 200 models or remote-control systems to be operated at the same time. This number will be signiﬁ cantly less in practice since permits are required for combined remote operation within the 2.4 GHz ISM band. Generally however, more models can be operated at the same time within the 2.4 GHz band than was previously the case within the conventional 35/40 MHz frequencies.

Battery charged?

Since the transmitter is delivered with an uncharged battery, you will need to charge it observing the instructions on page 15. Otherwise, a warning signal will sound after a short time and a related message will appear in the basic display after a certain voltage is reached (normally 4.8 V with the mz-18 HoTT transmitter and

3.6 V with the mz-24 HoTT transmitter) which can be changed in the line "Bat. warning threshold" in the submenu "Etc.Set" page 202, within the system menu.

Important instructions:

•

However in this context, please also note the instructions on page 76.

• Using connectors 1 … 9, a maximum of 9 servos can be operated with the mz-18 HoTT transmitter together with the GR-24 receiver which comes with the set and is already linked to the ﬁrst model memory. Any servos which are connected to connectors 10 - 12 remain in their middle position by default and cannot be actuated by the transmitter.

A maximum of 12 servos can be operated with the mz-24 HoTT transmitter together with the GR24 receiver which comes with the set and is already linked to the ﬁrst model memory.

For the sake of maximum ﬂexibility and to prevent unintentional misuse, control channels 5-9 and 5-12 are initially not assigned to any control elements, and the servos linked to these channels ﬁrst remain in their middle position until an operating element has been assigned. For the same reason, nearly all mixers are inactive. More information on this subject can be found on page 92.

• The basic procedure for initially programming a new model memory starts on page 45.

• When training, linking or adjusting the remote control, make sure that the transmitter antenna is always far enough from the receiver antennas. If the transmitter antenna is too close to the receiver antennas, the receiver will overamplify the receiver, and the red LED on the receiver will shine. At the same time, the feedback channel will stop working, the ﬁeld strength bar in the

That is, due to the loss of reception, the servos remain in the last correctly received or fail safe positions until a new valid signal is received. In this case, move away until the displays return to normal.

WARNING:

Never switch off the transmitter while operating the model! If this nonetheless

accidentally happens, do not panic, and wait until the transmitter display goes dark which indicates that the transmitter is completely off. This will take at least four seconds. After this time, switch on the transmitter again. Otherwise, the transmitter may freeze directly after being switched on, and you will be unable to control the model. The transmitter may only be switched on again after it has been switched off and the described procedure has been correctly repeated.

Preliminary remarks

The mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT remote control sets each come with a GR-24 bidirectional 2.4 GHz receiver which can be connected to a maximum of 12 servos, as well as a bidirectional GR-12L HoTT receiver.

Using connectors 1 … 9, a maximum of 9 servos can be operated with the mz-18 HoTT

transmitter together with the GR-24 HoTT receiver which comes with the set and is already linked to the ﬁ rst model memory. Any servos which are connected to connectors 10 … 12 remain in their middle position by default and cannot be actuated by the transmitter.

In contrast, a maximum of 12 servos can be operated with the mz-24 HoTT transmitter together with the GR-24 HoTT receiver which comes with the set and is already linked to the ﬁ rst model memory.

If you have already switched on the GR-24 HoTT receiver that comes with the set and its transmitter is not in range or is switched off, the red receiver LED will shine for a few seconds and then start to slowly ﬂ ash. This means that a link has not (yet) been established with a Graupner-HoTT transmitter. Once a link is established, a green LED shines continuously, and the red LED extinguishes.

To establish a telemetry connection with the transmitter, ﬁ rst the Graupner HoTT receiver must be "bound" to its model memory in its Graupner HoTT transmitter. This procedure is called "binding." This binding only needs to be performed once for each receiver/model memory combination (see) and has already been done at the factory for model memory 1 for the devices provided in the set. Binding therefore only needs to be performed for other receivers when the memory is changed (you can repeat this at any time after changing a transmitter).

NOTE:

An activated receiver that has linked at least

once with "its" transmitter responds to any

incoming control signals from other model memories of "its" transmitter like a secondary receiver.

Temperature warning

If the receiver temperature falls below a threshold which can be set in the receiver (-10°C by default) or exceeds a top warning threshold (+55°C by default) which can also be set in the receiver, the receiver emits a warning in form of a beep that repeats approximately once per second.

Servo connectors and polarity

The Servo connectors of the Graupner-HoTT receiver are numbered. The polarity of the plug-in system cannot be reversed. When inserting the plug, note the small bevels on the side (see the ﬁ gures on the next doublepage). Do not apply force.

The supply voltage runs through all the numbered connectors.

With the GR-24 receiver, the two outermost vertical connectors are for the battery. These are identiﬁ ed with "11+B-" and "12+B-". A corresponding servo along with the power supply can be connected to the two connectors using a V or Y cable (order No.: 3936.11).

NOTE:

Do not reverse the polarity of these connectors! This can destroy the receiver and connected devices (see the next double

page).

The function of each channel is determined by the transmitter and not the receiver. Depending on the make and model, throttle servo connection, along with other connections, can be different. With Graupner|JR and Graupner remote controls, this connection is at channel 1 for ﬁ xed-wing models, and at channel 6 for helicopters.

Note the installation instructions for the receiver, receiver antennas and servos on page 34.

Final instructions:

•

The signiﬁ cantly higher servo resolution of the HoTT system leads to a noticeably

more direct response in comparison to the previous systems. Take time to familiarize yourself with this more sensitive response!

• If you are using a speed controller with an integrated BEC* in addition to the receiver battery, the plus pole (red cable) may have to be removed from the 3-pin plug depending on the speed controller. In this regard, take note of the related information in the speed controller instructions.

Use a short screwdriver to carefully lift the middle tab of the plug (1), remove the red

cable (2), and use electrician's tape to protect against shorts (3).

Reset

To reset the receiver, hold down the SET button on the top of the receiver while turning on the power. Hold down the SET button of the receiver until, after about 3 seconds, the slowly ﬂ ashing red/green LED extinguishes for about 2 seconds.

If the reset procedure is performed while the transmitter is switched off or the receiver is not linked, the green and red LEDs ﬂ ash four times over about 3 seconds in the standard GR-24 receiver that comes with the set, then both LEDs extinguishes for about 3 seconds, and then the red LED starts to ﬂ ash. Release the button once the LEDs extinguishes.

Starting the receiver

Receiver ﬁrmware updates

Backing up the receiver settings

You can then start a binding procedure for the transmitter and receiver.

If a linked receiver is reset and the associated model memory is active in the switched-on transmitter, the LED shines green continuously for about 2-3 seconds to indicate that your transmitter/receiver system is ready to use.

Please note the following:

Resetting resets all of the settings in the receiver to the factory settings with the exception of the binding information.

If a reset is performed accidentally, all of these settings that were made using the "Telemetry" menu in the receiver should be restored.

Resetting is particularly recommendable when you want to switch a receiver to a different model. This makes it easy to keep settings which do not match from being transferred.

Receiver ﬁrmware updates can be obtained via the receiver telemetry connection using a computer operating on Windows XP, Vista, 7 or 8. To do this, you will need a USB interface (order No. 7168.6) and the adapter cable (order No. 7168.S) that come with the set. The programs and ﬁles which are also required for updating the transmitter as well as detailed instructions for the corresponding product (combined into one software package) can be downloaded from www. graupner.de.

Download this software package from the Internet, and unpack it on your computer. All other information can be found in the instructions that come in the software package.

Note:

notiﬁed of updates by e-mail.

The software package downloaded from the Internet and opened on your computer contains the program "Firmware_Upgrade_grStudio". This program may already be installed on your computer.

Using the "Receiver settings" section of the Firmware_ Upgrade_grStudio program, you can save all of the settings programmed in a receiver within a ﬁle on the computer so that you can upload them to the receiver if needed. This makes it unnecessary to have to reprogram the receiver using the "Telemetry" menu.

The USB interface (order No. 7168.6) and the interface cable (order No. 7168.S) that come standard with the mz-18 HoTT (order No. S1005) and mz-24 HoTT (order No. S1006) remote control sets are required for this program.

receiver. In addition to steel parts, this includes carbon ﬁber parts, servos, fuel pumps, every kind of cable, etc. It is preferable to install the receiver away from all other installed parts at an easily accessible location in the model. Servo cables may not be wound around antennas or run next to them.

Note that the cables can shift under the inﬂuence of acceleration during ﬂight. You therefore need to make sure that the cables cannot move to be directly adjacent to antennas. Moving cables can interfere with reception.

Tests have shown that installing an individual antenna vertically yields the best results for distant ﬂights. In the case of diversity antennas (two antennas), the active end of the second antenna should be at a 90° angle from the end of the ﬁrst antenna, and the distance between the active ends should ideally be more than 125 mm.

If the fuselage are made of carbon ﬁber, the ends of the antennas should extend from the fuselage by at least 35 mm. In both cases, the approx. 145 mm standard antennas for HoTT receivers should be exchanged with antennas that are 300 mm or 450 mm long (order No.

33500.2 and order No. 33500.3, respectively). The connectors identiﬁed as "X+B-" on the GR-24 HoTT

receiver that comes with the set are for the battery. The power supply runs through all the numbered connectors, and the power can in principle be supplied through any of the 12 connectors. If applicable, use a V or Y cable (order No. 3936.11).

Due to the additional power loss, perpendicular connectors 8 … 10 of the GR-12 receiver should not be used to connect to a receiver battery.

assignment can be changed in the receiver by programming using the "Telemetry" menu. It is however recommended to do this on the transmitter using the "Output swap" option, see page 96.

To follow are a few examples and suggestions for installing remote-control components in the model:

1. For ﬂying models, the receiver is installed behind a strong bulkhead and is protected against dust and splash water in car and ship models. When you install your receiver, make sure that it is not excessively airtight to prevent it from overheating during operation.

2. All of the switches must be installed so that they are not inﬂuenced by exhaust or vibration. The switch knob must be freely accessible over its entire operating range.

3. Install the servos on rubber grommets with tubular brass spacer to protect them from vibration. Do not overtighten the ﬁxing screws; this could counteract the vibration protection provided by the rubber grommets. The system offers both safety and vibration protection for your servos when the servo ﬁxing screws are properly tightened. The following ﬁgure shows how to correctly mount a servo. The tubular brass spacer are inserted from below into the rubber grommets:

Retaining screw

Rubber grommet

4. The servo arms must be freely movable throughout their operating range. Make sure that no linkage parts block the free movement of the servo.

5. Connect the receiver's power supply cable(s) and the servo connecting cable to the receiver as follows:

They should never be connected as follows:

NOTE:

With GR-24 receivers, servos or other components are only connected

horizontally at connectors 8, 9 and 10. Components and in particular the receiver battery must never be connected ﬂat as shown in the ﬁgure to the other connectors to 1 to 7 and 11 and 12. This will immediately short out the receiver battery, destroy the other connected components, and immediately void all warranties.

In contrast, the sequence for connecting the servos

Receiver power supply

depends on the model type. Refer to the connector assignments on pages 40 and 41.

In addition, consult the safety instructions on pages 4 … 12.

To prevent uncontrolled movements of the servos connected to the receiver system, during startup

and then the receiver.

When turning off the model,

ﬁrst switch off the receiver

and then the transmitter.

When programming the transmitter, make sure that an electric motor cannot accidentally start. When a gas motor with an automatic starter is used, make sure that it cannot unintentionally start. For safety's sake, disconnect the drive battery or the fuel supply.

To safely operate the model, a reliable power supply is required. If the receiver voltage

shown on the transmitter display always drops or is generally (too) low even though the linkage moves freely, the battery is full, the cross-section of the battery connecting cable is sufﬁcient, and the transition resistance that the plug-in connectors is minimal, etc., observe following:

First make sure that the battery is fully charged when initially operating the model. Make sure that the resistance of the contacts and switches is low. Measure the voltage drop over the installed switch cables under a load since even robust, new switches cause a voltage drop of up to 0.2 V. This value can be several times higher due to aging and oxidation of the contacts. In addition, constant vibration and shaking of the contacts also gradually increases the transition resistance.

Furthermore, even small servos such as a Graupner/ JR DS-281 draw a stall current up to 0.75 A when you stop under load. Four of these servos in a foam seat can hence draw up to 3 A from the onboard power supply.

Furthermore, servos connected to a 2.4 GHz receiver receive control pulses more frequently than comparable receivers in the classic frequency range. This affects the power consumption of the receiver system as well as the characteristic of many modern digital servos of maintaining the last position speciﬁed by the last control pulse until the next pulse arrives.

You should therefore choose a power supply that does not fail under a high load and always provides sufﬁcient voltage. To calculate the required battery capacity, add at least 350 mAh for each analog servo, and at least 500 mAh for each digital servo.

Using this method, a battery with 1400 mAh represents the absolute minimum for supplying power to a receiver with four analogue servos. In your calculation, also include the receiver which requires about 70 mA due to its bidirectional function.

Apart from the above considerations, it is generally recommendable to connect the receiver to the power

supply using two cables. As usual, connect cable "1" to the "12+B-" receiver connector, and cable "2" to the opposite end of the connector strip labelled "11+B-" when for example using a switch or voltage regulator with two power supply cables leading to the receiver. Between the cable and receiver, you can use a V or Y cable (order No. 3936.11, see ﬁgure) if one or both receiver connectors also need to be connected to a servo, speed controller, etc. With the double connection to the switch or voltage controller, you not only reduce the risk of a cable rupture but also ensure an even power supply to the connected servos.

If you connect a separate battery to each battery connector, be sure that each of the batteries has the same rated voltage and capacity. Never connect different battery types or batteries with strongly different charges since this can cause an effect similar to a short circuit. In such cases for safety reasons, insert voltage stabilizing elements such as PRX-5A receiver power supplies between the batteries and receiver:

Y-lead Order No. 3936.11

PRX stabilised receiver power supply Order No. 4136

If the voltage falls below the warning threshold (normally 3.8 V) which can be adjusted in the "RX SERVO TEST" display of the "SETTING & DATA VIEW" of the "Telemetry" menu, starting on page 124, a visual and acoustic low-voltage warnings are generated.

Note:

A summary of the batteries, chargers and measuring devices for checking the power

sources can be found in the main Graupner FS catalogue as well as on the Internet at www. graupner.de. A selection of suitable chargers is offered in the table on page 16.

Receiver system power supply

NiMH battery packs with 4 cells

With a traditional 4-cell pack, you can reliably operate your Graupner HoTT system providing that the above conditions are observed, and assuming that the packs have a sufﬁ cient capacity and charge.

NiMH battery packs with 5 cells

Battery packs with ﬁ ve cells offer greater leeway in comparison to 4-cell packs.

You should note, however, that not every servo available on the market can handle the voltage from a 5-cell pack over the long term, especially when the pack is freshly

charged. Some of these servos audibly "growl" when operated with a 5-pack.

You should therefore note the speciﬁ cations for your servo before you choose to use a 5-cell pack.

LiFe packs with 2 cells

Given the above considerations, these cells are the best choice.

LiFe cells are also available in a hard plastic housing to protect against mechanical damage. Like lithium polymer cells, LiFe cells can be charged quickly with suitable chargers and are comparably robust.

In addition, this type of cell can undergo signiﬁ cantly more charging/discharging cycles than conventional LiPo batteries. The comparatively high rated voltage of 6.6 V of two cell LiFe battery packs do not pose any problems to Graupner HoTT receivers or the servos, speed controllers, gyros, etc. which are approved for operation with this higher voltage.

However, practically all of the previously marketed servos, speed controllers, gyros, etc. as well as many which are offered

today have a permissible operating voltage range of

4.8 to 6 V. Stabilized voltage control such as the PRX (order No. 4136) is therefore needed to connect them to the receiver. Otherwise, the connected devices may quickly become damaged.

LiPo packs with 2 cells

LiPo batteries are lighter than NiMH batteries yet offer the same capacity. LiPo batteries also come in a hard plastic housing to protect against mechanical damage.

The comparatively high rated voltage of 7.4 V of two cell LiPo battery packs do not pose any problems to Graupner HoTT receivers or the servos, speed controllers, gyros, etc. which are approved for operation with this higher voltage.

However, practically all of the previously marketed servos, speed controllers, gyros, etc. as well as many which are offered

today have a permissible operating voltage range of

4.8 to 6 V. Stabilized voltage control such as the PRX (order No. 4136) is therefore needed to connect them to the receiver. Otherwise, the connected devices may quickly be damaged.

Charging the receiver battery

The charging cable (order No. 3021) can be connected directly to the receiver battery to charge it. If the battery in the model is connected by a power supply cable (order No. 3046, 3934, 3934.1 or 3934.3), the battery is charged via the charging socket integrated in the switch, or a separate charging connector. The switch for the power supply cable must be set to "OFF" for charging

Deﬁnition of terms

Control, function input, control channel, mixer, switch, control switch

To make it easier to use the mz-18/24 HoTT manual, we offer a few deﬁnitions of terms that appear repeatedly in the manual.

Control function

A control function is understood as the signal for a speciﬁc control function independent of the signal within the transmitter. With airplanes, the control signals would be throttle, rudde, aileron or elevator; with helicopters, these would be pitch, roll, nick or yaw. The signal of a control function can be transmitted directly into one control channel, or through a mixer to several control channels. A typical example of the latter are separate aileron servos, or the use of two roll or elevation servos in helicopters. The control function includes the inﬂuence of the mechanical control path on the corresponding servo. This can be spread or concentrated and modiﬁed from linear to highly exponential.

Controls

Controls are the control elements on the transmitter that are activated directly by the pilot that control the connected servos, speed controllers, etc. on the receiver. These include:

• The two control sticks for control functions 1 to 4 and its trims. These four functions in both model types (wing and helicopter) can be exchanged using the mode setting in the software, such as throttle left or right. The control stick function for Throttle/brake control for ﬁxed-wing models or throttle/pitch control in helicopters is frequently identiﬁed as the CH1 control.

• The two (mz-18 HoTT) or four (mz-24 HoTT) proportional dials DV1 and DV2 or DV1 … DV4

• The two side proportional rotary controls SL1 and SL2 mounted on the bottom.

• Switches S1 … S8

• INC/DEC buttons DT1 and DT2 of the mz-24 HoTT transmitter

With the type DV and SL proportional controls as well as the INC/DEC buttons, the servos directly follow the control position, whereas only a two or three-stage adjustment is possible with a switch.

The assignment of the controls and switches to servos 5 … 9 of the mz-18 HoTT transmitter or 5 …12 of the mz-24 HoTT transmitter is freely programmable.

Important note:

In the basic programming for the transmitter, inputs 5 … 8 and 5 … 11 for helicopters and 5 … 9 and 5 … 12 for airplanes are

generally free, that is, not yet assigned.

Function input

This is an imaginary point in the signal ﬂow and should not be confused with the control connector on the printed circuit board. The selected control mode and the settings in the "TX OUT SET" line of the "TX ctl" submenu (Transmitter control) of the base menu inﬂuence the sequence beyond the physical connecting points, and this can generate differences between the number of function inputs and the number of subsequent control channels.

Control channel

From the point at which a signal contains all control information necessary for a particular servo, whether directly from the control or indirectly via a mixer, the term control channel is used.

For example, the "aileron" control function of a ﬁxed-wing model for the model type "2AILE" is

divided into control channels for the left and right aileron. Analogously, the "Roll" control function for the helicopter model "3Sv(2Roll)" governs the control channels for both the left and right roll servo.

This signal is only inﬂuenced by the settings made in the submenus "E.P.A" (end point adjustment), "REVERSE" (servo reverse/delay) and "Sub-Trim" (servo middle and neutral position) to adjust the servo, and possibly the settings in the submenu "OUT.SWAP" (transmitter output) and is then transmitted by the transmitter

through the RF module. Once it arrives in the receiver, this signal may be modiﬁed by settings saved in the "Telemetry" menu, after which it controls the associated servo.

Mixer

The transmitter program contains a variety of mixing functions. These allow a control function to inﬂuence several servos, or several control functions to inﬂuence one servo.

In this context, you can refer to the numerous mixing functions described starting on page 98.

Switch

The series of toggle switches S1 … S8 can also be included in the control programming. The switches are however generally also intended to switch program options such as to start and stop the timers, activate and deactivate mixers, as trainer switches etc. Each of the switches can be assigned any number of functions.

Related examples are listed in the manual.

Control switch

Since it is occasionally practical to automatically switch a timer or a function on or off when a control is in a speciﬁc position (a stopwatch turns on/off to measure engine operating time), the program for the mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT transmitters also allows you to program control switches.

With these control switches, all you have to do is specify the switching point along the control path in the direction of switching. More information can be found in the section "Control, switch and control switch assignment“ from page 38.

Deﬁnition of terms

Control, switch and control switch assignment

Basic procedure

In many places in the program, you can actuate a control function with a freely selectable control (ST1 … 4, DV1 … max. D4, DT1 and DT2, SL1 and SL2), switch (S1 … 8), or switch between settings by a switch (S1 …

8) or control switch (see below). In both cases, multiple assignments are possible. (The distinction between a control and switch is explained in the section "Deﬁnition of terms" on page 37.) It should be noted however that incorrect responses may arise from functional overlaps such as using the same physical switch as a switch to switch between Q.Link and as a control for Q.Link trim. In such cases, you should change your switch assignment.

Since the same method is used to assign the controls and switches in all relevant menus, the basic procedure will be explained at this point which will allow you to focus on the speciﬁcs in the detailed menu descriptions.

The yellow arrow to the right of the bar diagram illustrates the current control position which can be accepted by touching the ENT button as the switching point in the value ﬁeld to the right of "POS". Reverse the switching direction by touching REVERSE in the line "DIR(ection)".

In the "MODE" line, the switching function of the control switch can be changed from on/off like a 2-stage switch to the switching behaviour of a 3-stage switch.

In this case, be sure to specify a switching position that is not "000". Otherwise, you

risk switching continuously back-and-forth between the two switching states while the relevant control is in the middle control position.

Note: All of these switches can be given multiple assignments.

Make sure that you do not accidentally assign competing functions to a switch. It is recommendable to write down the switching functions.

Practical examples:

• Turning an onboard glow plug heater on and

off when a idling switching point for the THR control stick is exceeded or undershot. The switch for the glow plug heater is controlled at the transmitter by a mixer.

• Automatically turning the stopwatch on and off to measure the actual ﬂight time of a helicopter by means of a control switch on the throttle limiter.

• Automatically turning off the mixer "AILE  RUDD" when the brake ﬂap extends to adapt the landing position of the model to the ground contour when landing on a slope without affecting the direction of ﬂight by rudders which are otherwise involved.

• Extend the landing ﬂaps and retrim the elevator while approaching a landing once the throttle control stick is moved beyond the switching point.

• Switch on the stop watch and off to measure the operating time of electric motors.

• "1SERVO NOR"

You are using a ﬂybar system, or the swashplate is tilted by a roll and elevator servo. A separate servo is used for the pitch control.

(Since helicopter models with only one pitch servo that have three swashplate servos for pitch, elevation and roll also operate without a mix of functions in the transmitter as is usually the case with ﬂybar systems, the menu item "SWASH MIX, page 192, normally does not appear on the multifunction menu.)

• "2SERVO 180"

The swashplate is shifted axially for the pitch control by means of two roll servos; the elevation control is decoupled by means of a mechanical compensation rocker.

• "3S 120 (Roll)"

Symmetrical three-point control of the swashplate by means of three articulations points offset by a 120°, by means of which one elevation servo (front or rear) and two roll servos (to the left and right side) are connected. All of the three servos of the swashplate shift axially for pitch control.

• "3SERVO 140"

Asymmetrical three-point control of the swashplate by means of three articulations points offset by a 120°, by means of which one elevation servo (front or rear) and two roll servos (to the left side and right front) are connected. All of the three servos of the swashplate shift axially for pitch control.

• "3S 120 (Nick)"

Symmetrical three-point axis as before, but rotated 90°; one roll servo on the side, and two elevation servos, front and rear.

Use the control element (throttle/brake control stick) to then move a vertical green line between the two endpoints "L" and "H" in the graphic. The momentary control stick position is also displayed numerically in the line "IN" (-100 % to +100 %). The intersection of this line with the curve is identiﬁed as "OUT" and can be varied at the support points between -125% and +125%. The control signal which is changed in this way then affects all of the following mixing and coupling functions.

• ENT button

Touch the button at the bottom right of the display with a ﬁnger or the provided stylus to set up to ﬁve additional points between the two endpoints "L" and "H".

In the following example, the control stick is exactly halfway between the middle and end of its path, at +50% of the control path, and generates an output signal that is also +50% due to the linear characteristic.

Between the two endpoints "L" and "H", up to ﬁve additional support points can be set, and the distance between neighbouring support points may not be less than approximately 25%.

Move the control stick. As long as there is a question mark next to the right of "POINT", you can press the ENT button set the next support point. At the same time, the "?" is replaced with a

GYRO

• Gryo Suppression

This option may normally not be used for current standard gyro

systems. You therefore need to consult your gyro setting instructions since otherwise you may make it impossible to ﬂy your helicopter. Nonetheless, this menu was

retained to satisfy all requirements and conventions.

This option can inﬂuence the effect of the gyro sensor (gyroscope) as the tail rotor control stick is moved, assuming that a gyro system is used

in which the gyro's effect can be set by the transmitter using an additional channel, channel 7 in the Graupner remote-control system. The gyro suppression reduces the gyro's effect in a linear manner in proportion to the deﬂection of the tail rotor control stick corresponding to the set value. If the gyro has not been suppressed (at a value of 0%), the gyro's effect remains independent of the control stick deﬂection.

The Gyro's effect can however be additionally varied smoothly (depending on the Quick Link if desired) between a minimum and maximum using a control assigned in the "Gyro" line in the "channel set" menu, page 92, for example with one of the proportional dials DVx. More on this subject (not discussed here for reasons of space) can be found in the section "Gyro/governor“ from page 186.

• Gyro Gain

NOTE:

Note that the offset values entered in this option as well as in the line

"CH7" of the display "CTRL CH5-12" of the menu "D/R,EXP", page 174, add up! For the sake of clarity, make sure to only enter or change an offset value in one of the two options.

Most of the current gyro systems can be adjusted for a smooth, proportional effect, you can also choose between two different modes of action by the transmitter.

If the gyro that you are using also has one of these options, the alternative offset setting enables both the normal gyro effect and "heading lock mode" as well as ﬂying with maximum stabilization in normal, slow ﬁghts within this selected mode, and reducing the gyro gain in fast roundtrips and aerobatics.

Values up to ±125% are possible, for example:

landing. Therefore, as described in detail in the section "THR.

HOLD" starting on page 190, make the appropriate settings during the training phase in this display so that the gas motor can be kept idling during the autorotation phase without the clutch engaging and any electric drive is deﬁnitely off, for example:

Thr.HOLD

WIZ.

Based on the these Q.Link-speciﬁc (offset) settings, the gyro gain can also be smoothly varied with a control such as DVx assigned in the line "CH7" of the display "CTRL CH5-9" or "CTRL 5-12“ of the "D/R,EXP" menu, page 173.

• Governor ACT

In contrast to speed controllers that only regulate performance like a carburettor, governors maintain a constant the speed in the system that they are monitoring by independently regulating the provided output. In the case of a gas helicopter, the control independently controls the throttle servo like the motor control unit of an electric helicopter. Governors therefore only

require a speed setting and not a classic throttle curve. A deviation from the set speed occurs

when the required output exceeds the maximum available output.

To change the current value, touch the desired button in the "GOVERNOR" line with a ﬁnger or the provided stylus. The display switches from "OFF" to "ON" and vice versa, for example:

• Governor RATE

In the "GOVERNOR" line, let us say that you have switched on the function "Governor at CH8". In the "GOVERNOR OFFSET" line, enter the appropriate offset value for the desired rotor speed. The value to be set depends on the governor as well as the desired target speed and, after ﬁnish using the assistant, it can also be varied for speciﬁc Quick Links, for example:

Important:

In contrast to the "CH Set" menu, all the settings of this menu refer to the relevant

servo independent of where the control signal for the servo comes from , i.e., either directly from the control element or from mix functions.

Example of a servo limit: The rudder servo is controlled directly from its control

and, for reasons of comfort, also from an "aileron >> rudder" mix.

For model-speciﬁc reasons, the rudder servo can only follow a maximum servo travel of 100% since the rudder would contact the elevator if it were to travel more than 100%.

As long as only the rudder is used, this is not a problem. It becomes a problem, however, if the signals add up to a total travel of more than 100% when simultaneously using the rudder and the aileron. The linkages and servos can be subject to an extreme load …

To prevent this, the path of the relevant servo should be limited individually. In the case of the rudder servos used here as an example, this would be slightly less than 100% since we are assuming that the rudder is already traveling 100%.

• If you have created Quick Links in the submenu "Q.Link" (page 132 or 168) and have assigned an appropriate name, it appears at the top right such as "NORMAL" as shown.

However, the settings in the left column, "direction of servo rotation", have a global

effect. Only the delays may be set for the speciﬁ c Quick Links in the right column, "Delay". When setting the delays, activate the wanted Quick Link by operating its corresponding switch.

• Setting the rotational direction of the servos is independent of the Quick Link

Important:

The numbers for the servos refer to to the servos connected to the corresponding

receiver outputs providing that the transmitter and receiver outputs have not been swapped. A change in the control mode therefore does not inﬂ uence the numbering of the servos.

With this option, the direction of servo rotation is adapted to the speciﬁ cs in the particular model independent of the Quick Link so that, when the control linkages and articulations are installed, the servo's rotational direction does not have to be considered.

The servo's rotational direction should be

determined before the servo travel is set.

Motor / Throttle Cut

In the "Motor" or "Throttle Cut" menu, you can switch off a speed controller by a switch, or move a servo for the throttle control into motor OFF position (or to idle position). This option can also be used as an emergency Cut OFF function as well. The motor OFF position, or for example an idle position, is designated in the value ﬁ eld of the "SET" line and needs to be determined through experimentation.

The speed controller or the throttle servo only assumes the set position after a switch has been activated and the switching threshold in the "SET" line is undershot by the CH1 control stick.

• If the set percentage in the "SET" line is greater

than the current Ch1 control stick position, that is, the current position represented by the green arrow to the left of the bar graph is below the switching threshold, switching occurs when the switch is in the ON position.

• If the set percentage in the "SET" line is less than

the current CH1 control stick position, that is, the current servo position represented by the green arrow to the left of the bar graph is above the switching threshold, the speed controller reduces the motor speed, or the throttle servo closes the carburettor as speciﬁ ed in the "SET" line once the CH1 control stick position falls below the switching threshold when the switch is in the ON position.

In this motor OFF position, the speed controller or throttle servo are disabled until the selected switch

is switched. The throttle servo or speed controller is then moved beyond the preprogrammed switching threshold with the Throttle/brake control stick.

A threshold of -100% the servo position is the default in the value ﬁ eld of the "SET" line:

Bind ON/OFF

To establish a telemetry connection to the transmitter, Graupner HoTT receivers must be "trained" to communicated exclusively with one speciﬁ c model (memory) of a Graupner HoTT transmitter. This procedure is termed "binding" and only needs to be done once for each new receiver/model memory combination (and can be repeated anytime).

Important instructions:

•

When binding, make sure that the transmitter antenna is always far enough

away from the receiver antenna. Maintain a distance of 1 meter to be on the safe side. Otherwise, you risk endangering the connection with the feedback channel and causing malfunctions.

• Make sure that the receiver power supply is correct. If the power supply is too low, the receiver LEDs will react as described below in response to your binding attempt, but the binding will not work.

• When binding to other receivers, note that other switched-on receivers already bound to the transmitter (and hence not directly affected by the binding process) enter fail safe mode while the transmitter is binding.

Binding several receivers per model

If desired, several receivers per model can be bound. In the related programs of the mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT receivers, you can directly manage two receivers bound to each active model memory and use a menu to distribute the 9 or 12 transmitter control channels between the two receivers (see below in this section): First bind the two receivers one by one as described below.

During subsequent operation, only the receiver establishes a telemetry link to the

transmitter that was either last bound to the active model memory, or was selected in the "RECEIVER SELECT" line in the "Telemetry" menu, for example:

BACK

RX SELECT

SETTING & DATA VIEW

SENSOR

RF STATUS VIEW

VOICE TRIGGER

Graubele

RX1

Any telemetry sensors which are installed in the model should therefore be connected to this receiver since only the data received through the feedback channel of the receiver selected in this line is evaluated by the transmitter. The second receiver (and all other receivers) run independently at the same time in model memoryindependent slave mode.

Binding the transmitter and receiver

Switch off the power supply to your receiver at this time (at the latest).

• GR-16 and GR-24 receivers

The red LED ﬂ ashes on the receiver. Hold down the SET button on the receiver until, after

about 3 seconds, the ﬂ ashing red LED ﬂ ashes red/ green for around 3 seconds. Then release the SET button on the receiver. As long as the LED is ﬂ ashing red/green, the receiver is in binding mode.

Within this 3 second window, start binding the receiver to the current model memory by touching one of the two buttons in the "BIND ON/OFF" line with a ﬁ nger or the provided stylus, for example.

If the red receiver LED continues to ﬂash for more than 10 seconds, the binding process was unsuccessful. At the same time, OFF appears again in the line "BIND ON/OFF". Change the positions of the associated antennas and try the entire procedure again.

• GR-12L receivers

The red LED on the receiver shines. Hold down the SET button on the receiver until, after

about 3 seconds, the red LED goes dark for around 3 seconds. Then release the SET button on the receiver. As long as the LED is dark, the receiver is in binding mode.

As described above, within this 3 second window, start binding the receiver to the current model memory by touching one of the two buttons in the "BIND ON/OFF" line with a ﬁnger or the provided stylus, for example.

Binding has been successful if the receiver LED remains dark and the receiver display switches to 6CH .

If the red receiver LED shines red again, the binding process was unsuccessful. At the same time, OFF appears again in the line "BIND ON/OFF". Change the positions of the associated antennas and try the entire procedure again.

Out.Swap (receiver output)

As mentioned in the introduction to the section "Binding receivers", the mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT transmitters allow you use this menu item to distribute the transmitter control channels within a receiver as desired, and you can also distribute the 9 or 12 receiver control channels to the two receivers as preferred. This distribution will be termed mapping or channel mapping in the following.

Touch the RES button to reset a changed output to the default mapping.

Use the same procedure to switch other control channel/receiver output combinations.

NOTE:

If for example you entered "2AILE" in the basic settings for a model, the transmitter

assigns control function 2 (aileron) to control channels 2+5 for the left and right aileron. The corresponding transmitter outputs (receiver inputs) to be mapped would in this case be channels 2+5 (see the examples below).

All that remains is for your settings to be

transmitted to the receiver since these

settings are only saved in the receiver, and can only be changed in the "Telemetry" Menu in the receiver. Touch the STO [store] button to start

transmitting, and touch the BACK button at the top left of the display to return to the "Transmitter setting" menu.

Examples:

• On a large model, you want to control each aileron ﬂap using two or more servos:

Assign the same input (control channel) to the relevant outputs (servo connectors). In this case, assign one of the two default aileron control channels 2 + 5 as an input depending on the left or right wing.

• On a large model, you want to control the rudder using two or more servos:

Assign the same input (control channel) to the relevant outputs (servo connectors). In this case, default rudder channel 4.

Note:

•

The maximum number of available lines (outputs) corresponds to the maximum number of servos that can be connected to

each receiver.

• You can use the "Output swap" option, page 96, of the mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT transmitters to switch the transmitter control function as desired, or assign the same control function to several outputs. For the sake of clarity, it is strongly recommended to only use one of the two options.

Assigning a channel to two receivers

As mentioned above, you can use the "receiver output" option to distribute the 9 control channels of the mz-

18 HoTT transmitter, or the 12 control channels of the mz-24 HoTT transmitter to two receivers as desired.

The numbering of the outputs (servo connectors) and the maximum number of available lines (outputs) correspond to the maximum number of servos that can be connected to the respective receivers. Follow the same procedure as above.

RF ON/OFF

In this line, you can manually turn the transmitter's RF transmission off and back on while the transmitter is currently switched on, for example, to save power while programming a model.

The next time the transmitter is switched on or a model is switched, the OFF setting is reversed.

To manually switch on or off the high-frequency transmission of your transmitter, touch the corresponding button with a ﬁnger or the provide stylus in the "RF ON/ OFF" line:

RF type (country setting)

The speciﬁc RF type needs to be set to satisfy the relevant guidelines (FCC, ETSI, IC, etc.).

In France for example, originally a remote control system could only be operated within a restricted frequency band. With the publication of a new list of "Class 1 Devices" in July 2012 by the standing EU Commission and the associated lifting of the permissible frequency band limit of the relevant subclass 22 from

2.400 to 2.4835 GHz that affects 2.4 GHz remote control systems, the legal requirements for the earlier "France mode" are no longer applicable.

For this reason, the "France Mode" was removed from the selection as of ﬁrmware

version V 1.023. However, temporarily retain the following paragraph in the original version for the sake of compatibility with older ﬁrmware versions.

Basic menu - Transmitter setting

The previous France mode can nonetheless still be used, including outside of France, for example to use the upper frequency range of the 2.4 GHz band that this left available for transmitting pictures from an onboard camera. In this case, however, make sure that the antenna(s) of the video broadcast system in the model is/are attached at least 3 m from the active ends of the antennas for the RC receiver system. For safety reasons, it is therefore strongly recommended to use satellite receivers located in an exposed area. In addition, you should always perform an extensive range test with the video signal on since range loss can be expected.

To switch the "Country Setting" of your transmitter between "NORMAL", "USA" or possibly even "FRANCE", tap the button to the right of "RF Type" as often as necessary with your ﬁnger of the provided stylus:

RANGE TEST

The integrated range test reduces the transmitter output so that you can perform a function test at a distance of less the 100 m.

Perform the range test for the Graupner-HoTT system according to the following instructions. It is useful to have an assistant to help you with the range test.

1. Install the receiver(s) already bound to the transmitter into the model as described.

2. Switch on the remote control, and wait until the green LED of your GR-16 and GR-24 receiver(s) shines, or the red LED of the GR-12L receiver goes dark. You are now able to monitor servo movements.

3. Place the model on a ﬂat surface (cement, mowed lawn or ground) so that the receiver antennas are at least 15 cm above the ground. It may therefore be necessary to place a support underneath the model during the test.

4. Hold the transmitter at hip level at a slight distance from your body. Do not point the antenna directly at the model; rotate and/or bend the antenna so that is it is approximately at a right angle to the model.

5. In the next-to-last line of the display, activate the range test mode by touching the button to the right of "RANGE TEST" with a ﬁnger or the provided stylus …

5 seconds before the range test ends, a triple beep sounds every second. After the 99-second range test, the transmitter switches back to full output, and the Graupner logo shines continuously.

6. During this time, move away from the model, and also move the transmitter's control elements. If you notice an interruption in the connection at any time within a distance of about 50 m, try to reproduce it.

7. If the model has a motor, switch it on to also check interference resistance.

8. Move further away from the model until it does not respond perfectly.

9. At this location, wait for the remainder of the test period with the still operable model. The model should still react to control commands once the range test is ﬁnished. If the model does not react to all the control commands, do not use the system, and contact the responsible Service Center of Graupner|SJ GmbH.

10. Perform a range test before each ﬂight, and simulate all servo movements that could occur during the ﬂight. The range test always must be performed on the ground at least 50 m away from the model to make sure that the model operates correctly.

Fail Safe

In comparison to classic PPM technology, the systemrelated greater reliability of the HoTT system is because the microprocessor in the HoTT receiver can process both undistorted signals from its transmitter as well as distorted control signals. Only when the signals are excessively distorted or garbled, for example from noise, the processor replaces them with control signals that are saved in the receiver depending on the settings described below. This allows intermittent disturbances such as drops in ﬁ eld strength, etc. to be overlooked which would otherwise lead to familiar "wobbles". When this occurs, the red LED on the receiver shines during the interference.

The two control control sticks come with digital trimming. With each click, brieﬂ y touching the trimming lever, moves the initial position of the control stick by a certain value. If it is held, the trimming moves in the corresponding direction with increasing speed.

The current trim positions are displayed in the main display, and adjustments are audible. It is therefore easy to ﬁ nd the middle position during ﬂ ight without looking at the display: When you pass over the middle position, a brief pause is inserted.

The current trim values are automatically saved when the model memory is switched.

In addition, the digital trim of a newly delivered mz-18 HoTT transmitter and mz-24 HoTT transmitter always has a global effect within a model memory (with the

"STEP" line (trim step)

With each click, the four digital trim levers shift the neutral position of the respective control stick by an increment adjustable between "01" and a max. of "10" in each direction. The maximum trim path is always approximately ±30 % of the control path independent of the selected number of trim steps. This setting is always global independent of the setting T:CO (common) or T:SE (single).

"SET" line (saving trim positions)

This option allows you to optionally save the current position of the four digital trims so that they can be returned to the visual middle position. After a model memory is changed or after long periods between ﬂights, the last safe trim positions are available in the middle positions of the respective trim display of the control functions 1 … 4.

As an example, you have landed your model and trimmed it. The current trim positions displayed white in the "POS." line approximately in the middle of the display. (The trim range is approximately ±30 % of the overall control path.) The value ﬁelds in the "SET" line underneath the display the saved trim and, since no values have yet been saved, the value ﬁelds all contain 000%. The display therefore appears e.g. as above in the section "POS." line.

The trim values are saved taking into account your

"common" or "single" setting in the header of the submenu "Channel set" of the base menu, page 92, once you have deﬁned the Quick Links in the "Q.Link" submenu, page 132 and 168. The active Quick Link is shown green at the top edge of the display.

To save a trim value, use a ﬁnger or the provided stylus to touch the value ﬁeld below the trim value to be transferred, such as the value ﬁeld in column "T3" (elevator):

• The number of channels shown in this menu corresponds to the maximum available control channels in the respective transmitter (see the dividing line between "bar 9" and "bar 10" in the above table). The number of usable channels depends on the type of receiver as well as the number of connected servos and may therefore be signiﬁ cantly less.

Beyond the equivalent design of the mz-18 HoTT transmitter and mz-24 HoTT transmitter with two control sticks for control functions 1 to 4 and their trim levers, these two transmitters come standard with a different number of additional control elements.

• 1 two-position switch with long handle (S6)

• 1 three-position switch with long handle (S3)

• 4 three-position switches with a short handle (S1, S4, S5 and S7)

• 2 one-side, self-neutralizing three-position switches with long handle (S2 and S8)

• 2 rear proportional sliders (SL1 and SL2)

• 4 proportional dials (DV1 … DV4)

In contrast to the two control sticks that immediately act on the servos connected to receiver outputs 1 … 4 with a newly initialized model memory for a ﬁ xed wing model, the aforementioned control elements are initially inactive.

Consequently, only the servos controlled by the two control sticks can be moved when these systems are initially delivered and a new model memory for a ﬂ ying model is initialized and bound to the receiver to be installed. In contrast, the servos connected to different slots remain in their middle position.

Even though this may initially appear to be inconvenient, it is the only way to freely select from the other control elements of your transmitter and avoid the deactivation of unnecessary control elements.

Even if misused, an unnecessary control element will not inﬂ uence the model if it remains inactive, that is, when it has not

been assigned a function.

As needed, you can therefore assign all of the aforementioned control elements within the "Channel set" menu addressed here to any function input without restriction, page 37. This also means that each of these control elements can also be simultaneously assigned several functions as needed. For example, the same toggle switch that is assigned to an input in this menu can also be assigned as a timer on/off switch in the "Timer" menu, etc.

Note:

•

In contrast to setting servo travel, setting the control travel affects all outgoing mixing

and coupling functions and hence all servos that are activated by the relevant control element.

• In contrast to the displays of the 12-channel mz- 24 HoTT transmitter shown in this section, only channels 1 … 9 are shown in the display of the 9-channel mz-18 HoTT transmitter.

•

If, with a model that has ﬂaps, you assign

to input 6 a control or switch identiﬁed as

"FLAP1", its function is dependent on the current setting in the line "ACT" of the submenu "Flap Sett" of the function menu, page 156. If the value ﬁeld to the right of "ACT" is INH or OFF , then this control or switch acts exclusively on servo 6 and possibly 7 with the values set in the submenu "D/R,EXP". Otherwise, this control or switch assumes the function of Q.Link trim with the value set in the submenu "Flap Sett".

With this default setting, it is unnecessary to program two Quick Links (THR.HOLD and no THR.HOLD) that is frequently the usual approach with other remote control systems. As opposed to THR.HOLD, increasing the system speed below hovering is much more ﬂexible and can be adjusted and more precisely with the options offered by the they mz-18 HoTT mz-24 HoTT transmitters. If you would still like to program your helicopter with THR.HOLD, then turn off the gas limit function described below by switching input 9 or 12 to NONE .

In contrast to ﬁxed-wing models, the performance of the power unit for helicopters cannot be directly controlled with the CH1 control stick; it can only be indirectly controlled by the gas curve settings made in certain helicopter menus of the function menu, or by a governor if the model has one.

Note:

For different Quick Links, you can of course also adjust individual gas curves when programming the Quick Links.

Both methods of controlling the output prevent carburettor motors of a helicopter from approaching to idling during normal ﬂight which allows them to be reliably started and stopped without additional intervention.

The gas limit function elegantly solves this problem by limiting the position of the throttle servo or the performance of a motor control unit: The proportional dial DV1 that is at the top left on the mz-18 HoTT transmitter and the front left of the mz-24 HoTT transmitter. This makes it possible to optionally turn down the gas to idle with the gas limit control, upon which the trim control of the throttle/pitch control stick assumes control, or to directly turn off an electric drive. Conversely, the throttle servo or motor control unit can only reach its full throttle position when the gas limit control also releases the entire travel.

The set value on the (right) plus side of the "Travel" column in the display "CH5-9" or "CHK5-12" of the submenu "D/R,EXP" of the function menu, page 173, therefore has to be large enough so that, when the gas limit control is at its maximum position, the full throttle setting achievable by the gas curve settings is not limited. Normally, a value between +100 % and +125 % is set.

The value on the (left) minus side of the "Travel" column should be set to allow an electric drive to be reliably switched off with the gas limit control, or to allow a carburettor to be closed enough so that the gas engine can also be switched off in conjunction with digital CH1 trim. This value should therefore (at least initially) be left at +100%.

This variable limitation of the throttle travel allows the drive to be comfortably started and stopped, and generally this approach is signiﬁcantly safer. Imagine what could happen if for example you carried a helicopter to the takeoff site while the motor is running and accidentally a activated the CH1 control stick.

If the carburettor or motor control unit is open to much, a beep sounds when you turn on the transmitter, and the following message appears in the main display:

Tip:

View the "Servo" menu to monitor the inﬂuence of the gas limit control. Be sure to remember that servo output 6 controls the

throttle servo for the mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT transmitters.

Basic idle settings

First turn the gas limiter (the proportional dial DV1 on the front left or top left of the transmitter) clockwise all the way. Move the throttle/pitch control stick to the maximum pitch position and, in the submenu …

"THR.CRV" (starting on page 181)

… of the function menu, make sure that the standard gas curve is active.

If the standard gas curve has already been changed after a model memory has been initialized, reset it (at least temporarily) to "POINT L = 0%", "POINT 3 = +50%" and "POINT H = +100%":

Note:

Since the gas trim lever does not work when the gas limiter is open, its position is irrelevant in this case.

Without starting the gas engine, adjust the throttle servo (preferably mechanically), and if desired additionally by adjusting the travel of servo 6 in the submenu "E.P.A" of the base menu to completely open the carburettor.

Then completely close the gas limiter by turning the proportional dial DV 1 all the way counterclockwise. Use the trim lever of the throttle/pitch control stick to move the marking of the trim position into the motor OFF position.

Note:

The position of the throttle/pitch control stick is irrelevant when the gas limiter is closed. It can

therefore remain in the maximum pitch position as long as you can switch between full throttle (gas limiter open) and "Motor OFF" (gas limiter closed) using just the gas limiter when adjusting the carburettor linkage.

While the gas limiter is closed, adjust the carburettor linkage so that the carburettor is completely closed. Make sure that the throttle servo does not mechanically overtravel in the two extreme positions (full throttle/ motor OFF).

To conclude this basic setting, match the setting range of idle trim with point "L" of the gas curve. Adjust point "L" of the "gas curve" display to approximately +15 to +18%, for example:

To precisely adjust a seamless transition from idle trim to the gas curve, move the pitch control stick back and forth slightly at the minimum stop while the gas limiter is closed and idle trim is completely open. The throttle servo should not move. Any subsequent adaptation of the gas curve must be done later during ﬂight.

The motor should always be started with the gas limiter completely closed. Adjusted the idle only with the trim lever of the throttle/pitch control stick, and turn off the motor with digital trim.

Note:

View the "Servo" menu to monitor the inﬂuence of the gas limit control. Be sure to remember that servo output 6 controls the

throttle servo for the mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT transmitters.

Example:

In the helicopter program for the mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT transmitters, the outputs for

a pitch servo and the throttle servo have been changed in comparison to a few previous Graupner/JR transmitters. The throttle servo is assigned to transmitter output 6, and the pitch servo is assigned to output 1. You may wish to keep the previous conﬁ guration. In this case, switch channels 1 and 6 so that (as described above) (control) channel 6 is at output 1 and vice versa.

Note:

By using the receiver-side channel assignment function called channel mapping which is integrated in the "Telemetry" menu of the

mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT transmitters, the maximum 9 or 12 control channels of these transmitters can be distributed as desired within one receiver as well as to several receivers. In addition, several receiver outputs can be assigned the same control function, for example to control each aileron with two servos instead of just one, etc. For the sake of clarity, it is strongly recommended that only one of the two options be used.

What is a mixer?

Right rudder / elevator

Basic functions

In many models, it is frequently desirable to mix functions within the model, for example to couple ailerons and rudders, or to couple two servos when you want two rudders with the same function to be controlled by a single servo. In all these cases, the signal ﬂow at the output of the transmitter-side control function branches at a point at which the inﬂuences of all transmitter options such as "dual rate / expo", "channel set", "throttle curve", etc. are contained within the signal so that the signal can act speciﬁcally on the input of another control channel and hence on another receiver output.

The program of the mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT transmitters already contains numerous preprogrammed coupling functions in which two (or more) control channels are mixed with each other. The mixer cited as an example can therefore be activated in the form of a V-tail in the program while making the basic settings for a model, starting on page 45.

In addition, the program in each model memory of the ﬁxed-wing and helicopter program has ﬁve freely programmable linear mixers and three curve mixers per activated Q.Link.

More information about this subject can be found on the relevant page on "programmable mixers".

What is a mixer?

General information about programmable mixers

This manual has described numerous preprogrammed coupling functions. The basic meaning of mixers and their functions are explained on the page to the left. The following offers information on "programmable mixers".

In addition to the aforementioned preprogrammed mixers, the mz-18 HoTT and mz-20 HoTT transmitters offer ﬁve freely programmable linear mixers and three curve mixers in each of the 30 model memories per programmed Quick Link in which you can deﬁne inputs and outputs as well as the degree of desired mixing.

This maximum of 48 mixers per model memory should be sufﬁcient, and is in particular for taking advantage of the options of pre-programmed coupling functions.

The input signal for a control function (1 … 9 and 1 … 12) is used as the input signal for programmable mixers. The signal that is on the control channel and supplied to the mixer input is always inﬂuenced by its control element and its set characteristic that for example is speciﬁed by settings in the "D/R,EXP", "THR.CRV" and "CH.Set" menus.

The mixer output acts on a freely-selectable control channel (1 to a maximum of 12 depending on the transmitter and receiver) which, before it sends the signal to the servo, can only be inﬂuenced by the functions Reverse, Sub-Trim, Travel and E.P.A, and possibly the option "(Transmitter) output swap".

One control function, page 37, may be used simultaneously for any number of mixer inputs when for example you want mixers to be parallel-connected.

Conversely, any number of mixer outputs can affect one and the same control channel, page 37. Particularly in the latter case, however, you should make sure that the affected servo does not reach its mechanical limit when several mixing signals combine into one which is too large. To be safe, a corresponding travel limit should therefore be set in the "E.P.A" menu, page 66.

In the program, a programmable mixer is initially always blocked ( INH ) and therefore needs to be explicitly switched on while programming it. Optionally, the mixer can also be assigned an ON/OFF switch. Given the

numerous switchable functions, make sure that you do not unintentionally assign a switch two functions.

The two essential parameters of the mixers are …

• … the degree of mixing that determines the level of inﬂuence of the input signal on the control channel connected to the mixer output.

With linear mixers, the mixing level can be adjusted symmetrically or asymmetrically. With curve mixers, the mixing level can also be conﬁgured according to your own speciﬁcations by up to 7 points to produce extremely nonlinear curves.

• … the neutral point of a linear mixer, also termed the offset.

The offset is the point along the travel of a control element (control stick, proportional control or switch) at which the mixer no longer inﬂuences the control channel connected to its output. Normally, this is the middle position of the control. The offset can also be located at any other position along the servo travel. Since curve mixers can be conﬁgured as desired, it is only recommendable and possible to specify a mixer neutral point for the 5 linear mixers.
