XP662 MANUAL Introduction

The XP662 is a full feature introductory computer radio for airplanes and/or helicopters. This manual is divided into two main sections: airplanes and helicopters. You need only refer to the section that pertains to the type of model you are programming— e.g., if you are programming your XF662 for helicopters, follow the instructions in the helicopter section.

Blank data sheets are included at the end of both sections. Once you have input all the necessary data into your transmitter for a particular model, we strongly recommend that you immediately write that information down on a copy of the data sheet provided. This is to insure that, in the rare case of a memory failure, you will not lose your data.

R700 Slimline Receiver

•

The R700’s extremely compact “slimline” design allows it to fit easily in limited spaces.

•

An independent laboratory ranked the R700 Receiver with JR’s patented ABC&W circuitry as one of the best receivers ever tested in terms of 3IM, 2IM, signal-to-noise ratio, adjacent channel rejection, and on-channel capture point.

•

The R700 is compatible with all JR FM transmitting radios.

•

A special “unwanted interference limiter” ignores signals outside of the R700’s band width when the receiver is on and the transmitter is off. The limiter also prevents servos from random glitching when other transmitters are operating in close proximity.

•

The electrical circuitry is state-of-the-art surface mount technology (SMT). These SMT components draw less current, thus increasing flying time. Flush mounting of these components also reduces the risk of vibration, wear, and damage.

CHAPTER 4: BATTERY CHARGING • Introduction

The pilot lamps should always be on during the charging operation. If they are not, check to make sure you have turned off both the transmitter and receiver.

Do not use the charger for equipment other than JR. The charging plug polarity may not be the same and equipment damage may result.

Do not use other manufacturers’ after-market accessories that plug into the transmitter’s charging jack. If you do, any damage that results will not be covered by warranty. If you are unsure of compatibilities with your radio, seek expert advice before doing anything to avoid possible damage. During the charging operation, the charger’s temperature is slightly elevated. This is normal.

CHARGER4.2

It is imperative that you fully charge both the transmitter and the receiver battery packs prior to each day of flying. For the initial charge, leave the charger and batteries hooked up for 20–24 hours in order to fully charge both battery packs to peak capacity. For subsequent charges, leave the charger and batteries hooked up overnight (approximately 16 hours).

The charger supplied with this system is designed to recharge your transmitter battery at a rate of 50mA. The receiver battery pack will charge at 50mA for the 600mAh airplane battery pack and at 150mA for the 1000mAh helicopter battery pack.

Transmitter Only

The center pin on all JR remote control systems is negative. Therefore, the center pin on all JR chargers is negative, not positive. This is different from any other manufacturers’ chargers and radio systems. Beware of improper connections based on “color code” wire leads, as they do not apply in this instance. You must make certain that the center pin of your JR transmitter is always connected to the negative voltage for correct polarity hookup.

XP662 MANUAL Introduction

The XP662 features a built-in trainer system. The transmitter can be used as either a master (trainer) or as a slave (trainee). The XP662 is compatible with all

other current JR radios that have built-in trainer systems. An optional Trainer Cord (JRPA130) is needed .

1. Match the servo reversing and trims of both radios.

2. Plug the optional trainer cord into both transmitters.

3. Turn on the master transmitter. (Note: The slave radio must be left off.)

4. Test all the control functions on your aircraft with the master radio.

5. Push the trainer button on the master transmitter and check all the control functions with the slave radio.

The XP662 features four digital trim levers with a direct trim display feature for ultra precise adjustments. When a trim input is given, the display screen will automatically change to show the trim value for current channel being adjusted. Once the trim change has been completed, the screen will automatically return to the previous screen display after 2–3 seconds.

A significant feature found only with Digital Trims is the ability for the XP662 to automatically store the trim values in the system memory. This eliminates the need for previously found software functions like

Trim Offset Memory, Rudder Offset Memory (Heli), and Stunt Trim (Heli).

In Heli mode, the XP662's digital trims provide a separate set of trim values for each Flight mode (Normal, Stunt, and Throttle Hold), which takes the place of the previously needed Stunt Trim function. With this feature, the trim levers are active in all flight modes, and will store the trim values for each mode independantly. This feature also takes the place of the previously needed rudder offset function, since there is now a completely separate set of trim setting for the Throttle Hold mode.

Note: Your transmitter has a 5-year lithium battery to protect your pre-programmed data against main transmitter battery failure. If your system reads

0.0 volts or has an unfamiliar display (service mode)

or your data resets to the factory defaults, return your transmitter to Horizon Service Center (see page 85) for lithium battery replacement.

BATTERY CONNECTOR Use caution when disconnecting/removing the transmitter battery pack as if the connector is not properly disconnected, damage to the connector and/or the radio system can result.

Transmitter Crystal Replacement Notice

The Federal Communications Commission (FFC) requires that changes in transmitter frequency must be performed only by an authorized service technician (Horizon Service Center). Any transmitter frequency change made by non-certified technician may result in a violation of the FCC rules.

CHAPTER 1: TRANSMITTER CONTROLS • Airplane

XP662 MANUAL Airplane

CHAPTER 1: TRANSMITTER CONTROLS • Airplane

To adjust the control stick length, use a 2mm Allen wrench to unlock the set screw located inside the end of the control stick. Turn the set screw counterclockwise to loosen it, then turn the knurled portion of the stick to adjust the length. Counterclockwise will lengthen the stick and clockwise will shorten it. After the control stick(s) has been adjusted to suit your flying style, tighten the set screw.

For proper DSC hook-up and operation:

1. Leave the transmitter power switch off. The transmitter will not transmit any radio frequency (RF) in this position.

2. Plug the optional DSC Cord (JRPA132) into the DSC port in the rear of the transmitter.

3. The encoder section of the transmitter will now be operational and the LCD display will be lit.

4. Plug the other end of the DSC Cord into the receiver charge receptacle. Turn on the switch harness.

Note: When installing the optional charging jack (JRPA024), be sure to hook the charging jack receptacle securely into the switch harness charge cord.

Why you should use the DSC function:

1. The DSC enables you to check the control surfaces of your airplane without drawing the fully operational 200mAh from your transmitter battery pack. Instead, you will only draw 70mAh when using the DSC function.

Note: You will need to purchase (separately) both the DSC Cord (JRPA132) and the JR Deluxe Switch Harness (JRPA001) to make use of the XP662 DSC function.

2. The DSC function allows you to make final adjustments to your airplane or helicopter without transmitting any radio signals. Therefore, if another pilot is flying on your frequency, you can still adjust your aircraft and not interfere with the other aircraft.

Note: Under no circumstances should you attempt to fly your aircraft with the DSC Cord plugged in! This feature is for bench checking your aircraft only.

There is an eye hook on the front of the transmitter for attaching an optional neck strap (JRPA023). The eye hook is precisely positioned (see Section 1.1)

so that the transmitter will be perfectly balanced when a neck strap is used.

Please read and carefully follow these suggestions.

1. For added protection, wrap the RX and the RX Ni-Cd in foam rubber that is at least 1/4” thick.

2. Run the RX antenna through the fuselage and make sure it is fully extended. Never cut or bundle your RX antenna—this will decrease range and performance.

3. Rubber servo grommets are included with your radio system and should be installed in the servo flanges. The servos should then be mounted on either hardwood rails or a plywood tray with the mounting screws provided. Do not overtighten the mounting screws. The flange of the brass eyelets should face down (toward the wood).

4. All servos must be able to move freely over the full range of their travel. Make sure the linkages do not impede servo travel. A stalled servo will drain the battery pack within a few minutes.

5. Before installing servo output arms, make sure the servo is in its neutral position.

6. In the case of gas-powered model aircraft, mount the receiver power switch on the side of the fuselage opposite the muffler to protect the switch from exhaust residue. With other types of models, mount the switch in the most convenient place. Make sure that the switch operates freely and is capable of traveling its full distance.

7. With your model sitting on the ground and

the transmitter antenna collapsed, check that your system works at a distance of 75 to 100 feet.

If your system stops functioning at a distance that is shorter than listed above, please contact the Horizon Service Center for further information prior to flying your model.

Your XP662 incorporates a special THROTTLE CUT button located on the upper right face of the transmitter. This feature is designed to immediately override any current throttle/trim position and will immediately return the throttle servo to the full low position. This feature will allow the engine to be automatically stopped in case of emergency, or in the event of a crash. When adjusting your throttle linkage, please check to ensure that when the THROTTLE CUT button is pushed, the throttle servo will move the carburetor barrel to the full closed position.

Note: In some cases it will be necessary to adjust the engines barrel stop screw so that the carburetor can be fully closed. Please refer to your engine instructions for more detail.

The Throttle Cut function is designed to function only which the throttle stick is below the 1/2 position, and a trim value has been assigned to the throttle trim levers.

The dual rate switch position is selectable and the elevator and aileron dual rates can be combined on one switch. This allows a single switch to be used when moving from high rates for wild maneuvers to low rates for mild maneuvers. Exponential Rate (EXP) is also available for both aileron and elevator

and works in conjunction with the dual rate function to provide mild control movements around neutral while allowing maximum servo travel. This reduces sensitivity in the middle portion of the stick control and still allows full travel at the end of the stick control. Refer to section 7.3 for exponential rate adjustment.

Accessing the Wing Type Selection Function

Flaperon, V-tail, and Delta Mixing are available for specialty aircraft that require those functions. The flaperon feature mixes flaps with ailerons so the ailerons can be drooped for takeoffs and landings while still functioning fully as ailerons. V-Tail Mixing combines rudder and elevator for V-Tail operations. The Delta Wing function allows the aileron to also act as the elevator, while retaining independent use of both functions. The Delta Wing function allows the ailerons to also act as the elevator, while retaining independent use of both functions.

Flaperon Setup

When using flaperon mixing, two servos (one for each aileron) must be used. Connect the left aileron servo to channel #6 (Aux 1) and the right aileron servo to channel #2 (Aile) in the receiver. Individual functions (e.g., servo reversing, sub-trims, etc.) are still available for each of the channels. Use sub-trims for individual neutral adjustment. Adjust the aileron travel values by increasing or decreasing the aileron dual rate. Flap adjustments are made with flap left/right travel adjustment described in Section 7.5. Also see Aileron Differential in Section 6.18.

V-Tail

V-Tail Mixing requires two servos. Connect the left tail servo to channel #3 (Elev) and the right tail servo to channel #4 (Rudd) in the receiver. Individual functions (e.g., servo reversing, sub-trims, etc.) are available for each servo. Use sub-trims for individual neutral adjustments described in Section 7.4. V-Tail elevator travel is adjusted by elevator dual rates described in Section 7.2.

Delta-Wing Mixing

Delta or Elevon Mixing as it is commonly known, is the final wing mixing selection in your XP652. This style of aircraft also employs two wing servos. However, in essence, there is not an elevator present. Instead, at an elevator stick input, the two wing servos function in conjunction with one another in the same direction to create an up/down movement of the aircraft. Also, when an aileron control is given, the two wing servos move in opposite directions to function as ailerons as well.
