CHAPTER 4: BATTERY CHARGING

TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER

Note: It is imperative that you fully

charge both the transmitter and the receiver battery packs prior to each trip to the field.To do so, leave the charger and batteries hooked up overnight (16 hours).The first charge should be approximately 20–24 hours in order to fully charge both battery packs to peak capacity.

The charger supplied with this system is designed to recharge your batteries at a rate of 50mAh for the transmitter and 120mAh for the receiver 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 many other manufacturers' chargers and radio systems. Beware of improper connections based on "color-coded" wire leads, as they do not apply in this instance.You must make sure that the center pin of your JR transmitter is always connected to the negative voltage for correct polarity hookup.

Important: Please note that the

charging polarity of the transmitter and receiver are different.

9XP6102 - Introduction

CHARGER

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

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

Do not use other manufacturers' aftermarket accessories that plug into the transmitter's charging jack if you are unsure of compatibility issues with your radio.Seek expert advice to avoid possible damage.

During the charging operation, the charger's temperature is slightly elevated.This is normal.

CONTROL STICK TENSION ADJUSTMENT

Remove the Ni-Cd battery and six transmitter back screws as shown on the previous page.Remove the transmitter back, being careful not to cause damage to any components.

Adjust each screw for desired tension (counter-clockwise to loosen stick feel; clockwise to tighten stick feel).When adjusting the throttle ratchet tension, make sure that the adjusting screw does not touch the PC board after adjustment is complete.

DIRECT SERVO CONTROL (DSC)

For proper DSC hook-up and operation:

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

2. Plug the (supplied) DSC cord 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 the switch harness to the On position.

Note: When you install the charging

jack, 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 aircraft without drawing the fully operational 200mAh from your transmitter battery pack. Instead, you will only draw

approximately 70mAh when using the DSC function.

2.The DSC function allows you to make final adjustments to your airplane 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 pilot’s aircraft.

Note:This function is for bench-

checking your airplane only.

NECK STRAP ATTACHMENT

An eyelet is provided on the face of the XP6102 transmitter that allows you to connect a Neck Strap (JRPA023).This

hook has been positioned so that your transmitter has the best possible balance when you use the neck strap.

15XP6102 - Airplane Manual

BASE LOADED ANTENNA

An optional base-loaded antenna is available for use with the XP6102 transmitter.It is considerably shorter than the standard antenna. However, the base loaded antenna cannot be collapsed for storage inside the transmitter.You must also use an adapter (JRPA156) to attach

the antenna to your XP6102.The Base Loaded Antenna (JRPA155) is made of a flexible coil and is covered with a soft plastic material.Your range will not be affected when using the base loaded antenna.

FREQUENCY NOTES/AIRCRAFT ONLY FREQUENCIES

The XP6102 transmitter employs a plugin crystal for the transmitter that is glued in place at the time of shipment. Per FCC regulation, the transmitter crystal should only be changed by a certified technician. Changing of the transmitter crystal by a non-authorized technician could result in a violation of FCC rules.

The XP6102 can transmit in either Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) or Pulse Position Modulation (PPM, commonly referred to as FM).

Be certain to observe the following guidelines:

Do not operate your transmitter when another transmitter is using the same frequency, regardless of whether the second transmitter is PCM, PPM (FM) or AM.You can never operate two transmitters on the same frequency simultaneously without causing interference.

Aircraft-Only Frequencies

Transmitters and receivers are available in 72MHz frequencies in the United States for use with model aircraft. Employing 72MHz frequencies does not require a special operator’s license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

* A chart for all available frequencies is

located on page 87 of this manual.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

It is extremely important that your radio system be correctly installed in your model. Here are a few suggestions for installing your JR®equipment:

1.Wrap the receiver in protective foam rubber that is no less than 3/8 inch thick. Secure the foam to the receiver with #64 rubber bands.This protects the receiver in the event of a crash or a very hard landing.

2.The servos should be mounted using rubber grommets and brass eyelets to isolate them from vibration. Do not over-tighten the mounting screws; this will negate the vibration absorption effect of the rubber grommets.The following diagram will assist you in properly mounting your servo. The brass eyelets are pushed from the

bottom up in the rubber grommets. When the servo screw is tightened securely, it provides the proper security as well as the proper vibration isolation for your servo.

3.The servos must be able to move freely over their entire range of travel. Make sure that the control linkages do not bind or impede the movement of any of the servos.

4. Mount all switches away from the engine exhaust and away from any high vibration areas. Make sure the switch operates freely and is able to operate over its full travel.

5. Mount the receiver antenna firmly to the airplane to ensure that it will not become entangled in the propeller or control surfaces.

Elevon Wing Mixing is available as an option with your XP6102.This style of aircraft also employs two wing servos. However, there is not an elevator present. Instead, an elevator stick input causes the two wing servos to function in conjunction with one another to change the pitch movement of the aircraft.Also, when an aileron control is given, the two wing servos move in opposition to one another to function as ailerons.

Accessing and Utilizing the Elevon Type Selection

1.While the Down and Select keys are pressed, move the power switch to the On position to access the System mode.

2. Press either the Up or Down key until WING TYPE appears on the LCD.

3. Press the Select key to select the Elevon function.

4. Press either the (+) or (-) key to turn on the Elevon Wing Type function.

Note:The Elevon function requires one

servo for each elevon, i.e. a separate servo for each wing half.

5. Plug the left elevon servo to the aileron (AILE) of your JR receiver. Connect the right elevon servo into the elevator (ELEV) port of your receiver.

6.Check to make sure the servos move in the proper direction.When an input is given from the elevator stick, they should move in unison to achieve the proper up/down elevator command. If your servos do not move as described above, use the Servo Reversing function to reverse the travel direction.

Note: Each ser vo's direction is adjusted

individually through the Servo Reversing function.For more information, refer to the Servo Reversing section in this manual.

7. Once the ser vos direction has been set, adjust their travel direction, travel volume, dual rates, sub-trim and aileron differential.

Note:The applicable channel's left or

right, up or down travel adjustments can be made individually. Refer to the Travel Adjust section in this manual for more information.

8. Relative to the note above, each servo's travel volume is automatically reduced to 75% of the operating range. This is to ensure that the servo does not operate beyond its capabilities. Failure to observe extreme caution when adjusting the value for the elevon servos may result in damage to the servos by over traveling.

Note: Fine adjustments of the elevons

should be made in the Dual-Rate function. For more information, refer to the Dual-Rate section in this manual.You can also adjust the neutral point of your elevon servos individually using the Sub-Trim function as described in the SubTrim section of this manual. Differential is offered for the elevon function of your XP6102. For more information, refer to the Differential Aileron Mixing section of this manual.

Note: Individual functions like reversing,

travel adjust, dual rates, sub trims etc. are available for each servo independently.

6.Check to make sure the servos move in the proper direction.When an input is given from the elevator stick, they should move in unison to achieve the proper up/down elevator command. If your servos do not move in the correct direction, use the Servo Reversing function to reverse the travel direction.

Note: Each ser vo's direction is adjusted

individually through the Servo Reversing function.For more information, refer to the Servo Reversing section in this manual.

7. Once the ser vos direction has been set, adjust their travel direction, travel adjust, dual rates, sub-trim.

Note:The applicable channel's left or

right, up or down travel adjustments can be made individually. Refer to the Travel Adjust section in this manual for more information.

8. Relative to the note above, each servo's travel volume is automatically reduced to 50% of the operating range. This is to ensure that the servo does not operate beyond its capabilities. Failure to observe extreme caution when adjusting the value for the elevon servos may result in damage to the servos by over traveling.

Note: Fine adjustments of the V-Tail

should be made in the Dual-Rate function. For more information, refer to the Dual-Rate section in this manual.You can also adjust the neutral point of your V-Tail servos individually using the Sub-Trim function as described in the SubTrim section of this manual.

SWITCH SELECT

The XP6102 allows the several options to be programmed for the dual rate, gear and flap switches.

Aileron and elevator dual rates can be programmed to be individually selected via its own switch (Individ) or the aileron, elevator and rudder functions can be combined to operate from one of four switches.

The gear channel can be programmed to operate on one of four switched or rockers or it can be inhibited, helpful for some types of mixing. Plus the flap channel can be programmed to operate from switches or levers.

Dual Rates

D/R INDIVID (default) - In this mode the aileron and elevator rates are independently selected using the ELEV D/R and AILE D/R switches.

Note: In this mode the r udder D/R is

always in the 0 position and is not selectable.This is the default setting.

COM AILE - In this mode the aileron, elevator and rudder dual rates are combined on the AILE D/R switch.

COM ELEV - In this mode the aileron, elevator and rudder dual rates are combined on the ELEV D/R switch.

COM R-SW - In this mode the aileron, elevator and rudder dual rates are combined on the upper right (flap) switch.

COM L-SW - In this mode the aileron, elevator and rudder dual rates are combined on the upper left (gear) switch.

Gear Channel

LEFT SW (default) - The gear channel operates from the left upper (gear) switch.

AILE D/R - The gear channel operates from the aileron dual rate switch.

ROCKER - The gear channel operates from the right rocker switch and offers three positions.

INHIBIT - The gear channel is inhibited and is centered making it useful as a slave channel for mixing.

RIGHT SW - The gear channel operates from the right upper (flap) switch.

Flap Channel

RIGHT SW (default) - The flap channel operates from the right upper (flap) switch.

LEFT SW - The flap channel operates from the left upper (gear) switch.

TRAINER FUNCTION

The XP6102 offers a programmable trainer function with three trainer options:

Normal Mode - In this mode the transmitter acts as a conventional buddybox system.The transmitter can be used as a slave or as a master: however in this mode, the reversing switches and trims must be adjusted so the slave transmitter matches the master transmitter.In normal mode, when the trainer switch is activated, the student has control of all functions and switches.

Pilot Link - When Pilot Link mode is used with the master transmitter, it allows the slave transmitter to be adjusted to factory defaults.The slave transmitter can simply be programmed in a model memory not being used and reset to factory defaults, thus preventing the need to synchronize the trims and reversing switches on the slave transmitter.

Also, when Pilot Link is used, the student only has control of the 4 basic channels (throttle, aileron, elevator, rudder) while the trainer (master) retains control of all other functions like gear, dual rate, programmed mixes, etc.This allows a pilot to have a test flight on a more complex airplane without having to remember complex switch positions.

Pilot Link + Slave - This mode is used only when the XP6102 is being used as a slave transmitter and the other Master transmitter has a Pilot Link program active.By selecting Pilot Link + Slave the transmitter is automatically in the correct programming mode to work as a slave in conjunction with another Pilot Link equipped transmitter.

Accessing the Trainer Function

1. Move the power switch to the On position while pressing the Down and Select keys to access the System mode.

2. Press either the Up or Down key until TRAINER appears at the too of the LCD.

3. Press either the (+) or (-) keys to change the T rainer Type type.

4. Pressing the Clear key will retur n the trainer function to the "normal" setting.

5. Press the Down key to access the MODULATION function.

6. Press the Up key to access the SWITCH SEL function.

7.To exit the TRAINER function, press the Down and Select keys simultaneously.

Note:The slave transmitter must always

be in PPM modulation to operate.

Pilot Link + Slave automatically selects PPM modulation when activated.

When using other models of transmitters it will be necessary for the slave transmitter to be in PPM mode for the XP6102.
