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 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 hopping. A 10-minute flight will typically result in less than 50 Frame Losses and no Holds.
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.
Note: DSMX receivers are not compatible with DSM2 remote receivers and DSM2 receivers are not compatible with DSMX remote receivers.
• DSMX transmitters are compatible with all DSM2 and DSMX receivers and will
operate in the mode noted below.
• DSM2 transmitters are compatible with all DSM2 and DSMX receivers and will
operate in the mode noted below.
• DSMX technology is active only when both transmitter and receiver are DSMX
enabled.
Note 1: DSMX upgraded DX5e and DX6i transmitters are compatible with all DSMX receivers except the high-speed DSM2 receivers (like the AR7600, AR9000, etc.). When using a high-speed DSM2 receiver with the DX5e or DX6i, it’s necessary to manually put these transmitters into DSM2 mode. See the Spektrum website for details on DX5e/DX6i DSM2 mode for details.

Patented MultiLink™ Receiver Technology The AR7010 incorporates dual receivers, offering the security of dual path RF redundancy. An internal receiver is located on the main printed circuit board, while a second external receiver is attached to the main board with a 6-inch extension. By locating these receivers in slightly different locations in the aircraft, each receiver is exposed to its own RF environment, greatly improving path diversity (the ability for the receiver to see the signal in all conditions).
6 7
Antenna Polarization For optimum RF link performance it’s important that the antennas be mounted in an orientation that allows for the best possible signal reception when the aircraft is in all possible attitudes and positions. This is known as antenna polarization. The antennas should be oriented perpendicular to each other; typically one vertical and one horizontal (see Receiver Installation). The remote receiver’s antenna should be mounted in a position perpendicular at least 2 inches away from the main receiver’s antenna using double-sided foam tape.
Receiver Installation In gas and glow aircraft install the main receiver using the same method you would use to install a conventional receiver in your aircraft. Typically, wrap the main receiver in protective foam and fasten it in place using rubber bands or hook and loop straps.
Alternately, in electric airplanes or helicopters, it’s acceptable to use thick double-
-sided foam tape to fasten the main receiver in place.
Mounting the remote receiver in a slightly different location, even just inches away from the primary receiver, gives tremendous improvements in path diversity. Essentially, each receiver sees a different RF environment and this is key to main­taining a solid RF link, even in aircraft that have substantial conductive materials (e.g. larger gas engines, carbon fiber, pipes, etc.), which can weaken the signal.
Using servo tape, mount the remote receiver keeping the remote antennas at least 2 inches away from the primary antenna. Ideally, the antennas will be oriented perpendicularly to each other. In airplanes, we’ve found it best to mount the primary receiver in the center of the fuselage on the servo tray and to mount the remote receiver to the side of the fuselage or in the turtle deck.
EN
In helicopters, there is generally enough room on the servo tray to achieve the necessary separation. If necessary a mount can be fashioned using clear plastic to mount the external receiver.
7
EN
IMPORTANT: When using Y-harness or servo extensions it’s important to use standard non-amplified Y-harnesses and servo extensions as this can/will cause the servos to operate erratically or not function at all. Amplified Y-harnesses were developed several years ago to boost the signal for some older PCM systems and should not be used with Spektrum equipment. Note that when converting existing models to Spektrum be certain that all amplfied Y-harnesses and or servo extensi­ons are replaced with conventional non-amplified versions.
Binding
The AR7010 receiver must be bound to the transmitter before it will operate. Binding is the process of teaching the receiver the specific code of the transmitter so it will only connect to that specific transmitter.
1. To bind an AR7010 to a DSM2 or DSMX transmitter, insert the bind plug in the
BIND/DATA 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 BIND/DATA port in the receiver and the throttle lead into the throttle (THRO) port. Proceed to Step #2.
2. Power the receiver. The LED on the receiver should be flashing, indicating that
the receiver is in bind mode and ready to be bound to the transmitter.
3. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the desired failsafe positions
(low throttle and neutral control positions).
8 9
4. Follow the procedures of your specific transmitter to enter Bind Mode, the sys-
tem will connect within a few seconds. Once connected, the LED on the receiver will go solid indicating the system is connected.
5. Remove the bind plug from the BIND/DATA port on the receiver before you
power off the transmitter and store it in a convenient place.
6. After you’ve set up your model, it’s important to rebind the system so the true low
throttle and neutral control surface positions are set.
NOTICE: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time the power is turned on.
SmartSafe™ Failsafe
SmartSafe Failsafe is always active in both the hold last command failsafe and in the preset failsafe. SmartSafe technology is a safety feature on the throttle channel that offers the following benefits:
• Prevents electric motors from operating when the receiver is turned on
(no signal present)
• Prevents the speed controller from arming until the throttle is moved to low
throttle position after connection is made
• Shuts off the electric motor and reduces gas/glow engines to idle if the signal
is lost
• If the throttle is at any position other than low, the ESC won’t arm
• If connection is lost in ight, SmartSafe technology sets the throttle to the
position it was in during the binding process.
How To Program
The SmartSafe program is automatically set when the hold last command failsafe or Preset failsafe is programmed or the system is bound. Always to have the throttle stick in the low position to store low throttle during binding.
To Test
Confirm the failsafe setting is correct by turning off the transmitter. The throttle should go to the preset low throttle position.
CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is restrained on the ground. If failsafe is not set, your aircraft might advance to mid or full throttle.
Hold Last Command
If you lose connection, all channels except for throttle channel hold last given command and the aircraft continues on its path. So, if you were turning when connection was lost, your aircraft would continue turning.
How to Program
1. Leave the bind plug in the bind port through the entire binding process.
2. Remove bind plug only after receiver connects to transmitter.
To Test
Confirm the failsafe settings are correct by turning off the transmitter. All channels except for the throttle should hold the last command.
CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is restrained on the ground. If failsafe is not set, your aircraft might advance to mid or full throttle.
9
EN
EN
Preset Failsafe
If the signal is lost, all channels are driven to their failsafe position set during binding. Preset Failsafe is ideal for sailplanes, as spoliers can be deployed during loss of signal, preventing a flyaway.
How To Program
1. Insert the bind plug and power on the receiver.
2. When the receiver LEDs blink, indicating bind mode, remove bind plug before
binding the transmitter to the receiver.
3. LED lights will continue to blink.
4. Move transmitter’s control sticks and switches to the desired Preset Failsafe
positions, then turn it on in bind mode.
5. The system should connect in less than 15 seconds.
NOTICE: Failsafe features vary according to receiver, so if using a receiver other than the AR7010, consult your receiver’s instructions for the failsafes that apply.
Before flight, ALWAYS confirm your binding is good and failsafe is set. To do this, make sure the system is connected turn your transmitter off. Confirm that low-throttle is active.
CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is restrained on the ground. If failsafe is not set, your aircraft might advance to mid or full throttle.
Range Testing
Before each flying session and especially with a new model, perform a range check. All Spektrum aircraft transmitters incorporate a range testing system which, when activated, reduces the output power, allowing a range check.
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. This causes reduced power output from the transmitter.
3. You should have total control of the model in range test mode at 30 paces
(90 feet/28 meters).
4. If control issues exist, call the Horizon Product Support office.
Receiver Power System Requirements
Inadequate power systems that do not provide the necessary minimum voltage to the receiver during flight are the number one cause of in-flight failures. Some of the power system components that affect the ability to properly deliver adequate power include:
10 11
• 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 AR7010 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 a questionable power system is being used (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. 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.
CAUTON: When charging Ni-MH batteries, make sure the battery fully charges. Ni-MH batteries charged with peak detection fast charger have a tendency to false peak (i.e. not fully charge), which could lead to a crash.
QuickConnect™ With Brownout Detection (DSM2 Only)
Your AR7010 features QuickConnect 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, a bad switch, an inadequate BEC when using an Electronic speed controller, etc.
• Brownouts occur when the receiver voltage drops below 3.5 volts, thus interrup-
ting 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 AR7010. The Flight Log displays overall RF link performance as well as the individual internal and external receiver link data. Additionally, it displays receiver voltage.
11
EN
EN
Using the Flight Log
After a flight and before turning off the receiver or transmitter, plug the Flight Log into the BIND/DATA port on the AR7010. 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 - Antenna fades on the external
L - Not used 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, moving the antennas to different locations and/or checking to be sure 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 offer a patent pending feature called ModelMatch. ModelMatch technology 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 on screen
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 DX5e and Aircraft Modules do not have ModelMatch technology.

DSMX
Spektrum hat die RC Technologie mit dem DSM2 System revolutioniert und damit Millionen von RC Hobbyfreunden zu zufriedenen Nutzern des 2,4 Ghz Systems gemacht. Spektrum setzt jetzt mit dem DSMX System wieder Meilensteine. DSMX ist weltweit das erste Breitband Frequenz agile 2,4 Ghz 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 Sender und Empfänger arbeiten nahezu indentisch wie das Spektrum DSM2 System. Der Bindevorgang, Einstellen des Failsafe, Aufzeichnen der Flight Log Daten und der allgemeine Betrieb des Systems mach keinen Unterschied zu dem bestehenden 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 Air Ware v2.0 Software von Spektrum RC, die über die SD Karte in die Firmware der Anlage übertragen wird. Alle DSM2 Sender mit Ausnahme der DX5e können mit einer DSMX Erweiterung über den technischen Service von Horizon Hobby für Euro: 79,99 ausgerüstet werden. 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.
• DSM2 Sender sind kompatibel mit allen DSM2 und DSMX Empfängen und
arbeiten in dem Mode wie in der Tabelle aufgeführt.
• Die DSMX Technologie ist nur dann aktiv, wenn bei dem Sender und Empfänger
diese Funktion aktiviert wurde.
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.
