Receiver Installation

Installing the Receiver

Install the receiver in the normal position recommended by the vehicle’s manufacturer. Double-sided tape or foam may be used to secure the receiver in place.

Receiver Antenna

The SR215, SR315 and SR515 receivers feature a coaxial antenna design for easy installation in almost any model. Think of the last 1 inch (32mm) on the tip of the antenna as the active portion of the antenna, the coaxial portion leading up to it is just an extension. Install the antenna so the active portion is positioned as high as possible in the vehicle, and not “in the shadow” of any carbon ﬁ ber or metal. The case of the receiver can accept an antenna tube directly, making optimal antenna placement easy (antenna tube not included).

Active portion of antenna

Antenna Tube Not Included. Tube size may vary, test for proper ﬁ t.

WARNING: Do not kink, cut or damage the antenna wire. The

antenna is made of a coaxial wire; if the outer sheath becomes damaged, the receiver will not work properly. If the antenna is damaged in any way, replace the antenna before attempting to use the receiver.

Binding

The SR215, SR315 and SR515 receivers must be bound to the transmitter before they will operate. Binding is the process of teaching the receiver the speciﬁ c code of the transmitter so it will only connect to that speciﬁ c transmitter.

Failsafe

Failsafe position is set during binding. In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will drive all channels to its pre-programmed

failsafe position.

Standard Mode

If loss of signal occurs, SmartSafe™ technology moves the throttle channel to its designated failsafe position (low throttle) that was set during binding. All other channels hold their last position. When the receiver detects signal from the transmitter, normal operation resumes.

Gas Mode

Preset failsafe is ideal for most nitro/ gas vehicles. With preset failsafe, all channels go to their preset failsafe positions if the signal is lost, preventing an out of control situation. When the receiver detects signal from the transmitter, normal operation resumes.

Bind Button

Standard Mode

1 Push and Hold Bind Button 2 Power on Reciever 3 Release Button after RX goes into Bind Mode (ﬂ ashing LED) 4 Place transmitter in Bind Mode and ﬁ nish Binding.

Gas Mode

1 Push and Hold Bind Button 2 Power on Reciever, keep Bind button depressed until binding is complete 3 Place transmitter in Bind Mode and ﬁ nish Binding. 4 When the LED turns solid, power off the reicever, and then release the Bind Button

Testing Failsafe

Secure the vehicle with the wheels off the ground. Test Failsafe by turning the transmitter off and noting how the receiver responds.

Requirements

Inadequate power systems that are unable to provide the necessary minimum voltage to the receiver during operation have become the number one cause of control failures. Some of the power system components that affect the ability to properly deliver adequate power include:

• Receiver battery pack (number of cells, capacity, cell type, state of charge)

• The ESC’s capability to deliver current to the receiver in electric vehicles

• The switch harness, battery leads, servo leads, regulators etc. The SR215, SR315, and SR515 have a minimum operational voltage of 3.5V; it

is highly recommended the power system be tested per the guidelines below.

Recommended Power System Test Guidelines

If a questionable power system is being used (e.g. small or old battery, ESC that may not have a BEC that will support high-current draw, etc.), it is recommended that a voltmeter be used to perform the following tests.

The Hangar 9 perform the test below.

Plug the voltmeter into an open channel port in the receiver and with the system on, or simply monitor the voltage on a telemetry capable transmitter, gently apply pressure to the wheels to put a steering load on the servo, while monitoring the voltage at the receiver. The voltage should remain above 3.5V even when all servos are heavily loaded.

Digital Servo & Rx Current Meter (HAN172) is the perfect tool to
