DSMX
Spektrum launched the 2.4GHz RC revolution with its DSM2® technology. Since then, millions of hobbyists the world over have come to embrace 2.4 as the way to fly. Spektrum leads the way yet again with DSMX; the world’s first wideband, frequency-agile 2.4GHz signal protocol.
How Does DSMX Work?
It’s a crowded 2.4GHz world out there and every 2.4GHz system faces the same challenges. DSMX better equips you for these challenges by combining the superior data capacity and interference resistance of a wideband signal (like that used in DSM2) with the agility of frequency shifts.
Compared to the wideband signal of DSMX, the narrow band signal of other frequency hopping 2.4 transmitters is more likely to suffer data loss in the event of on-channel interference. Think of it as a river vs. a stream. It takes more interference to dam a river than it does a stream.
As more and more 2.4 transmitters vie for the same number of available channels, there is more interference and more of a risk for data loss. By adding the agility of frequency shifts to the superior interference resistance of a wideband signal, DSMX is far less likely to suffer significant data loss from on-channel interference. The result is quicker connection times and superior response in even the most crowded 2.4GHz environment.
DSMX Operational Differences
DSMX transmitters and receivers function nearly identically to Spektrum DSM2 systems. Binding, setting the failsafe, recording flight log data, as well as general use of the system is no different than using any current Spektrum system.
Following are the operational differences:
Brownout Detection- Not Available on DSMX Receivers
DSM2 receivers feature Brownout Detection that flashes the receiver’s LED if a power interruption occurs. While DSMX receivers have QuickConnect and recover instantly from a power interruption, the architecture of DSMX prevents Brownout Detection when operating in DSMX mode.
Flight Log Recording- Fades Higher than DSM2
Note that DSMX hops through the band while DSM2 finds two quiet channels and remains on those channels. Consequently because DSMX operates on quiet and noisy channels, it’s common to have more Antenna Fades than when using DSM2, when used in busy 2.4GHz environments. When taking flight log data readings, the Frames and Hold Data are important and should be used a reference while Fades are insignificant due to the nature of frequency agile systems. A 10-minute flight will typically result in less than 50 Frame Losses and no Holds.

EN
Just How Good is DSMX?
In multiple tests, 100 DSMX systems were operated simultaneously for extended periods of time. During these tests each of the 100 systems was monitored in flight and on the ground. In every test not a single case of RF link loss, latency increase or control degradation was experienced or recorded.
Is DSMX Compatible with DSM2?
Yes. DSMX is fully compatible with all DSM2 hardware. In fact, many pilots may find the DSM2 equipment they have now is all they will ever need. Even if a new DSMX transmitter eventually comes along that they really want, all the DSM2 receivers they have now will work with it.
It is important to note, however, that while DSMX is compatible with DSM2, the only way to experience the full benefits of DSMX in a busy 2.4 environment is by pairing a DSMX transmitter with a DSMX receiver.
Are DSM2 Transmitters Eligible for a DSMX Add-on?
Yes. DX8 owners can simply download Spektrum AirWare™ software from spektrumrc.com and update the firmware using their SD card. All DSM2 transmitters, except the DX5e, are eligible for the add-on by going to https://community.spektrumrc.com/ for details. DSM2 receivers and transmitter modules are not eligible for the DSMX add-on.
Does DSMX have ModelMatch and ServoSync?
Yes. DSMX will provide you with these and other exclusive Spektrum advantages you already enjoy with DSM2.
Want to know more about DSMX? Visit spektrumrc.com for complete details on this as well as the many other reasons Spektrum is the leader in 2.4.
NOTICE: While DSMX allows you to use more than 40 transmitters
simultaneously, when using DSM2 receivers, DSMX receivers in DSM2 mode or transmitters in DSM2 mode, do not use more than 40 transmitters simultaneously.

Binding
Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You must bind the AR400 receiver to your transmitter before it will operate.
1. To bind an AR400 to a DSM2 transmitter, insert the bind plug in the BATT/BIND port on the receiver.
To bind an aircraft with an electronic speed controller that powers the receiver through the throttle channel (ESC/BEC), insert the bind plug into the BATT/BIND port in the receiver and the throttle lead into the THRO port.
2. Power on the receiver. The LED on the receiver will flash, indicating the receiver is ready to be bound to the transmitter.

Shown using an ESC/BEC and flight pack.
3. Move the throttle stick to the desired failsafe position, normally low throttle.
4. Follow the procedures of your specific transmitter to enter Bind Mode. The system will connect within a few seconds. Once connected, the LED on the receiver will turn solid, indicating the system is connected.
5. Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time the power is turned on.
6. After you’ve set up your model, rebind the system to reset the failsafe.

Range Testing
Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, it is important to perform a range check. All Spektrum aircraft transmitters incorporate a range testing system which, when activated, reduces the output power.
30 paces (90 feet/28 meters)
1. With the model restrained on the ground, stand 30 paces (approx. 90 feet/28 meters) away from the model.
2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position and place your transmitter into range check mode.
3. You should have total control of the model at 30 paces (90 feet/28 meters).
4. If control issues exist, call a Horizon Product Support office nearest you. Contact information is listed in the Warranty section.
Receiver Power System Requirements
Inadequate power systems that do not provide the necessary minimum voltage to the receiver during flight have become the number one cause of in-flight 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aircraft
• Theswitchharness,batteryleads,servoleads,regulatorsetc.
The AR400 has a minimum operational voltage of 3.5 volts; it is highly recommended the power system be tested per the guidelines below.
Recommended Power System Test Guidelines
If you are using a questionable power system, (e.g. a small or old battery, an ESC that may not have a BEC that will support high current draw, etc.), perform the following test with a voltmeter.
EN

EN10EN
®
The Hangar 9
Digital Servo & Rx Current Meter (HAN172) or the Spektrum
Flight Log (SPM9540) work well for this test. Plug the voltmeter into an open channel port in the receiver and, with the
system on, load the control surfaces (apply pressure with your hand) while monitoring the voltage at the receiver. The voltage should remain above
4.8 volts, even when all servos are heavily loaded.
CAUTION: When charging Ni-MH batteries, make sure the battery
fully charges. Ni-MH batteries charged with peak detection fast chargers have a tendency to false peak (i.e. not fully charge), which could lead to a crash.
QuickConnect™ Technology with Brownout Detection (DSM2 Only)
Your AR400 features QuickConnect technology with Brownout Detection.
• Shouldaninterruptionofpoweroccur(brownout),thesystem will reconnect immediately when power is restored (QuickConnect).
• TheLEDonthereceiverwillashslowly,indicatingapowerinterruption
(brownout) has occurred.
• Brownoutscanbecausedbyaninadequatepowersupply(weakbattery or regulator), a loose connector, bad switch, inadequate BEC when using an Electronic speed controller, etc.
• Brownoutsoccurwhenthereceivervoltagedropsbelow3.5volts.This
interrupts control, as the servos and receiver require a minimum of
3.5 volts to operate.
How QuickConnect With Brownout Detection Works
• Whenthereceivervoltagedropsbelow3.5volts,thesystemdrops out (ceases to operate).
• Whenpowerisrestored,thereceiverimmediatelyattemptstoreconnect to the last two frequencies it was connected to.
• Ifthetwofrequenciesarepresent(thetransmitterwaslefton), the system reconnects typically in about 4/100 of a second.
QuickConnect with Brownout Detection is designed to allow you to fly safely through most short duration power interruptions. However, you must correct the cause of these interruptions before your next flight to prevent a crash.
CAUTION: If a brownout occurs in flight, determine the cause
of the brownout and correct it before attempting to fly again.
Flight Log (SPM9540 Optional)
The Flight Log is compatible with the AR400. The Flight Log displays overall RF link performance as well as the individual internal and external receiver link data. Additionally, it also displays receiver voltage.
Using the Flight Log
After a flight and before turning off the receiver or transmitter, plug the Flight Log into the Data port on the AR400. The screen will automatically display voltage e.g. 6v2= 6.2 volts.
When the voltage reaches 4.8 volts or less, the screen will flash, indicating low voltage.
Press the button to display the following information:
A Antenna fades on the internal antenna B Not used L Antenna fades on the external antenna
R Not used F Frame loss H Holds
Antenna fades—represents the loss of a bit of information on that specific
antenna. Typically, it’s normal to have as many as 50 to 100 antenna fades during a flight. If any single antenna experiences over 500 fades in a single flight, the antenna should be repositioned in the aircraft to optimize the RF link.
Frame loss—represents simultaneous antenna fades on all attached receivers. If the RF link is performing optimally, frame losses per flight should be less than 20. A hold occurs when 45 consecutive frame losses occur. This takes about one second. If a hold occurs during a flight, it’s important to evaluate the system, move the antennas to different locations and/or check to ensure the transmitter and receivers are all working correctly.
A servo extension can be used to allow the Flight Log to be plugged in more conveniently. On some models, the Flight Log can be plugged in, attached and left on the model using double-sided tape. Mounting the Flight Log conveniently to the side frame is common with helicopters.
ModelMatch
Some Spektrum and JR transmitters have ModelMatch™ technology, which prevents the possibility of operating amodel using the wrong model memory, potentially preventing acrash. With ModelMatch, each model memory has its own unique code (GUID) and, during the binding process, the code is programmed into the receiver. Later, when the system is turned on, the receiver will only connect to the transmitter if the corresponding model memory is programmed onscreen.
If at any time you turn on the system and it fails to connect, check to be sure the correct model memory is selected in the transmitter. Please note that the Spektrum Aircraft Modules do not have ModelMatch technology.

Frequently Asked Questions on Spektrum 2.4GHz
1. Q: After I’ve bound the receiver to my transmitter, which do I turn
on first when I want to fly?
A: Either one. Every DSM® 2.4GHz transmitter has a GUID (Globally Unique
Identifier) code imbedded in its signal. When you bind a DSM receiver to your transmitter, this GUID code is stored in the receiver. If you turn the receiver on before the transmitter, you don’t have to worry about it responding to another transmitter. The receiver will go into failsafe mode while it waits for a signal from the transmitter with the same GUID code it has stored. See the Receiver Power Only section for more information. If a DSM transmitter is turned on first you can expect it to connect within 6 seconds of powering on the receiver.
11
EN
2. Q: Sometimes the system takes longer to connect or doesn’t
connect at all. Why?
A: In order for a DSM system to connect, the receiver must receive a large
number of uninterrupted signal packets from the transmitter. This process takes just a few seconds, but if the transmitter is too close to the receiver (within 4 feet) or near reflective material (metal objects, carbon fiber material, etc.) it may detect its own reflected 2.4GHz energy as “noise”. This can delay or prevent connection. If this happens, make sure you are a sufficient distance from metal objects and the receiver itself before you power up and try again.
3. Q: Is it true that DSM systems are less tolerant of low voltage?
A: All DSM receivers require at least 3.5V to operate normally. Most servos
cease to operate below 3.8V. Using multiple high-voltage servos with an inadequate power supply can allow voltage to momentarily drop below
3.5V. This will cause the receiver to “brown out” and reconnect. See the QuickConnect with Brownout Detection section for more information.
4. Q: Sometimes when I power on my DSM system I notice the
receiver won’t connect and it needs to be rebound to the transmitter. Can this happen in flight?
A: No. A DSM receiver cannot be unbound from its transmitter without
specific action by the user.
5. Q: How important is it that I test my system using a Spektrum
Flight Log?
A: All 2.4GHz signals, not just DSM, are affected by proximity to
conductive materials such as carbon fiber or metal. Few RTF and ARF sport airplanes or helicopters use enough of these kinds of materials for it to be an issue. If, however, you’re flying a sophisticated model that uses a lot of conductive materials in its construction, a Flight Log can be helpful. The information it collects when you fly will help you determine the optimum location for your receiver(s) so you can minimize the effects of these materials on your signal performance. For more details on the Flight Log and how it works, visit SpektrumRC.com.

DSMX
Spektrum hat die RC Technologie mit dem DSM2 System revolutioniert und damit Millionen von RC Hobbyfreunden zu zufriedenen Nutzern des 2,4Ghz Systems gemacht. Spektrum setzt jetzt mit dem DSMX System wieder Meilensteine. DSMX ist weltweit das erste Breitband Frequenz agile 2,4Ghz Signalprotokoll.
Wie arbeitet DSMX?
Die Nutzer des 2,4 GHz Frequenzbereich werden immer mehr und durch diese Menge steht jedes System vor der Herrausforderung auch in Zukunft eine sichere Übertragung zu gewährleisten. Das DSMX ist für diese Herausforderungen besser gewappnet, kombiniert es die excellente Datenkapazität und Sicherheit vor Störungen eines Breitbandsignales (wie bei DSM2) genutzt mit der Frequenzagilität.
Verglichen mit dem Breitbandsignal des DSMX neigen die Signale anderer Frequenzhoppingsysteme dazu Daten bei Kanalstörungen zu verlieren. Stellen Sie sich einfach das DSMX System wie einen breiten mächtigen Fluss vor und die Frequenzhoppingsysteme wie einen Bach. Es braucht erheblich mehr Einfluß einen großen Strom zu stören als einen Bach.
Die Zahl der Nutzer der 2.4Ghz Systeme steigt ständig bei gleichbleibender Zahl der zur Verfügung stehender Kanäle. Daraus ergibt sich ein höheres Risiko für Datenverluste. Zusammen mit der Frequenzagilität und der hervorragenden Störsicherheit des Breitbandsignales ist das DSMX System die sicherste Wahl. Weitere Vorteile des Systems sind schnelle Verbindungszeiten und excellente Resonanz auch in dichtester 2,4 Ghz Umgebung.
Unterschiede im DSMX Betrieb
DSMX transmitters and receivers function nearly identically to Spektrum DSM2 systems. Binding, setting the failsafe, recording flight log data, as well as general use of the system is no different than using any current Spektrum system.
Die Systemunterschiede
Brownout Detection (Spannungsabfalldetektion): Diese Funktion steht bei DSMX Empfängern nicht mehr zu Verfügung. DSM2 Empfänger sind mit einer Brownout Detection ausgestattet ,die eine LED zur Erkennung des Spannungsabfall blinken läßt. DSMX Empfänger sind mit der Quick Connect Funktion ausgestattet, die sich unverzüglich nach einer Stromunterbrechung wieder verbindet. Die Architektur von DSMX verhindert so den Brownout im DSMX Mode.

Fligth Log Aufzeichnungen - Mehr Ausblendungen als bei DSM2
Bitte beachten Sie, dass DSMX sich in den Kanälen bewegt, während DSM2 sich zwei ruhige Kanäle sucht und auf ihnen bleibt. Da DSMX auf beiden Kanaltypen arbeitet ist es normal, dass es mehr Antennenausblendungen (Fades) gibt. Bei dem Auslesen der Flight Log Daten sind die angezeigten Frames Losses und Hold Daten wichtig und sollten als Referenz verwendet werden. Die Angaben der Fades (Ausblendungen) können aufgrund der Natur der Frequenzagilität als unwesentlich eingestuft werden. Ein 10 Minuten Flug kann typischweise weniger als 50 Frame Losses aufweisen und keine Holds.
Wie gut ist DSMX?
In multiplen Tests wurden für einen langen Zeitraum 100 DSMX Systeme gleichzeitig betrieben. Während der Tests wurde jedes DSMX System im Flug und am Boden überwacht. In jedem Test wurde kein Verlust der RF Verbindung, Verringerung der Latenzzeit oder ein Qualitätsverlust der Verbindung aufgezeichnet.
Ist DSMX kompatibel mit DSM ?
Ja, DSMX ist voll kompabitel zu DSM2. Viele Piloten haben mit ihrer DSM2 Ausrüstung das gefunden was sie für Ihr Hobby brauchen. Da ist es gut zu wissen, dass auch ein neuer DSMX Sender mit den vorhandenen DSM2 Empfängern kompatibel ist. Wichtig zu bemerken ist, dass trotz der Kompatibilität von DSMX zu DSM2 alle Vorteile des DSMX nur dann zum Tragen kommen, wenn ein DSMX Sender mit einem DMX Empfänger betrieben wird.
Sind DSM2 Sender für eine DSMX Erweiterung geeignet ?
Ja, DX8 Besitzer können Ihre Anlage aufrüsten mit dem Download der Spektrum AirWare™ Software von spektrumrc.com, die über die SD Karte in die Firmware der Anlage übertragen wird. Alle DSM2 Sender mit Ausnahme der DX5e sind für das Add-on geeignet. Mehr Details sehen Sie unter https:// community.spektrumrc.com/. DSM2 Empfänger und Module sind für diese Erweiterung nicht geeignet.
Hat DSMX ModellMatch und ServoSync ?
Ja, DSMX hat dieses beiden und andere exklusive Funktionen, die Sie schon mit Ihrem DSM2 System schätzen. Wollen Sie mehr über DSMX wissen? Besuchen Sie spektrumrc.com für alle Details und viele andere Gründe warum Spektrum führend im Bereich 2.4 Ghz ist.
HINWEIS: DSMX Empfänger sind nicht kompatibel mit DSM2 Satellitenempfänger und DSM2 Empfänger sind nicht kompatibel mit DSMX Satellitenempfänger.
• DSMX Sender sind kompatibel mit allen DSM2 und DSMX Empfängern und
arbeiten in dem Mode wie in der Tabelle aufgeführt.

HINWEIS 1: DX5e und DX6i Sender die mit der DSMX Funktion aufgerüstet
wurden, sind mit allen DSMX Empfängern kompatibel , mit Ausnahme den ultraschnellen DSM2 Empfängern wie zum Beispiel: AR7610, AR9010. Wenn Sie so einen ultraschnellen Empfänger mit einer DX5e oder DX6i verwenden, ist es erforderlich diese Sender manuell in den DSM2 Mode zu bringen. Bitte sehen Sie für weitere Details auf der Spektrum Website unter DX5e und DX6i DSM2 Mode nach.
