SR6100AT DSMR AVC TELEMETRY RECEIVER (SPM5120 ONLY)

RECEIVER INSTALLATION

Install the SR6100AT receiver in the vehicle before binding the transmitter and receiver. The receiver can be mounted completely ﬂ at (servo ports and bind button facing up) or completely perpendicular on its side. When binding the receiver, the AVC

Steering Port

Throttle Port AUX 1 Port AUX 2 Port

Bind Button

system automatically detects the orientation of the receiver. If the receiver is angled, AVC technology may not function

properly. If the orientation of the receiver is modiﬁ ed after binding, you must rebind for AVC technology to function properly.

Mount the receiver ﬂ at, two possibilities are shown here

AUX 3 Port AUX 4 Port

Battery/ PRG Port

XBus Port Voltage Port

Antenna

POWERING THE RECEIVER WITH A SEPARATE RECEIVER PACK

1. Connect the steering servo to the steering port (STR)

2. Connect the throttle servo to the throttle port (THR)

3. Connect the switch harness to the battery (BATT) port. The

receiver will power on when a 3.5V–9.6V battery is connected to any of the ports on the servo rail or the BATT port.

POWERING THE RECEIVER WITH AN ESC

1. Connect the steering servo to the steering port (STR)

2. Connect the throttle servo to the throttle port (THR). Most ESCs

will have an integrated BEC (battery eliminator circuit) which will power the ESC from the motor battery, through the throttle lead. Connecting the ESC to any of the ports on the servo rail will power the receiver when the ESC is turned on.

SMART THROTTLE:

The SR6100AT receiver throttle port includes SMART Throttle. The SR6100AT receiver throttle port will automatically detect when a SMART Throttle compatible ESC is plugged in and the throttle port will begin to operate in SMART Throttle mode.

ESCs with SMART Throttle and IC series connectors can also pass along battery data from compatible Spektrum SMART batteries.

The SR6100AT is compatible with the Spektrum Firma™ line of ESCs for SMART Throttle.

NORMAL SERVO SIGNAL (PWM):

If a standard ESC or servo is plugged into the throttle port on the SR6100AT receiver, the throttle port will operate normally like any conventional RC system (PWM signal).

You may mount the receiver on any of its six sides, and it does not matter which direction the receiver is pointed. The receiver doesn’t even need to be square with the vehicle, as long as it is ﬂ at and level.

IMPORTANT: Do not use hook and loop tape to install the SR6100AT receiver. Using hook and loop tape will affect the performance of the AVC system.

ANTENNA INSTALLATION

The SR6100AT receiver has a coaxial style antenna. Position the antenna vertically and away from the vehicle in an antenna tube. Make sure the tip of the antenna is as high as possible to maximize the signal strength.

NOTICE: Do not cut, kink, or modify the antenna. Damage to the coaxial portion of the antenna will reduce the performance of the antenna. Shortening or cutting off the 31mm tip will reduce the range to a small fraction of what it should be.

Active portion of antenna

NOTICE: Digital servos are required with the SR6100AT AVC receiver. Using analog servos with AVC technology will reduce the performance of the system and may cause the servos to overheat.

TIP: In order for the OVERRIDE to operate, you must assign it to a switch or trimmer. The default position for this function is inhibited.

EXPONENTIAL

The Exponential (Expo) function affects the response rate of the steering, throttle and/or brake. A positive Steering Expo value, for example, decreases steering sensitivity around neutral to make it easier to drive at high speeds in a straight line while still allowing for maximum turning radius. While sensitivity with positive Expo is decreased around neutral, it increases the sensitivity near the end of travel.

To adjust Expo values:

1. Select Throttle or Steering.

2. Slide Up or Down to adjust the Rate value.

3. Press OK to save the selection.

4. Select an OTF switch to activate Exponential.

IMPORTANT: Both positive and negative Expo values are available. A positive Expo value results in the

center being less sensitive (desirable most of the time), while a negative value increases the sensitivity around center (normally not used).

TIMER

The DX5C Timer function allows you to program a countdown timer and stop watch (count up timer) to display on the main screen. An alarm sounds when the programmed time is reached. You can program the timer to start using the assigned switch position or automatically when the throttle moves above a pre-programmed position.

SPEKTRUM DX5• TRANSMITTER INSTRUCTION MANUAL

BIND/FRAME MENU

For compatibility with all types of servos, three frame rates are available:

• 11ms: Offers good response rates and is compatible with most digital and analog servos (this is the

default position). Works with DSMR® surface receivers.

• 16.5ms: Needed for older analog servos. Works with DSM2® surface receivers.

• 22ms: Needed for older analog servos. Works with DSMR receivers. TIP: You should always use the fastest response rate the servos can handle. This gives the lowest latency

and fastest response. If the frame rate is incompatible with the servo, the servo will move erratically or, in some cases, not at all. If this occurs, change the frame rate to the next highest value.

NOTICE: Always rebind after changing the Frame Rate.

Failsafe

In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will drive the throttle servo to its pre-programmed failsafe position (normally full brakes) and all other channels will have no servo output. The throttle failsafe position is set during binding. If the receiver is turned on prior to turning on the transmitter, the receiver will enter the failsafe mode, driving the throttle servo to its preset failsafe position. When the transmitter is turned on, normal control is resumed.

IMPORTANT: failsafe activates only in the event that signal is lost from the transmitter. Failsafe will NOT activate in the event that receiver battery power decreases below the recommended minimums or power to the receiver is lost.

NOTICE: AVC receivers must be calibrated after binding for proper operation.

Binding

Binding is the Process of teaching the receiver the speciﬁ c transmitter’s code called GUID (Globally Unique Identiﬁ er) and storing failsafe values. When a receiver is bound to a transmitter/model memory, the receiver will only respond to that speciﬁ c transmitter/model memory.

Bind Process

1. Use a bind plug or press the bind button to place the receiver into Bind mode. The LED on the receiver

will begin to ﬂ ash.

2. Power on the transmitter.

3. Select the Model Memory you wish to bind to.

4. Select Bind from the List menu.

5. Move the throttle channel to the desired failsafe position.

NOTICE: The throttle channel must stay in the failsafe position until binding is complete.

6. Slide to Bind and

press OK. The orange LED ﬂ ashes on top of the transmitter.

7. When the bind process is complete, the transmitter and receiver LEDs stop ﬂ ashing and turn solid

orange.

8. Remove the bind plug from the receiver and keep it in a convenient place.

NOTICE: Always remove the bind plug from the receiver when the bind Process is complete. Failure to do so

will cause the receiver to enter bind mode the next time you power on the receiver.

BINDING AND CALIBRATING THE SR6100AT

Binding is the process of linking the SR6100AT receiver to your Spektrum transmitter. The AVC features on the receiver can be enabled or disabled during the binding process. There is no bind plug on the SR6100AT, a button is used to put the receiver in bind mode.

Bind Button

: You must calibrate the SR6100AT receiver each time it is

NOTICE

placed in bind mode, regardless of AVC being enabled or disabled.

BIND AND CALIBRATION PROCESS

Upon initial setup after the ﬁ rst bind, the model must conﬁ gured for servo direction, sub trim and travel. Then the receiver must be rebound and calibrated to those settings for proper operation. Center the steering trim and throttle trim on the transmitter before beginning.

1. Press and hold the bind button on the receiver.

2. Power on the receiver. The orange LED ﬂ ashes, indicating the

receiver is in bind mode. Release the bind button after the orange LED illuminates.

3. Put your transmitter in bind mode.

4. The bind process is complete when the orange LED on the receiver

remains lit. At this stage the receiver is connected but must complete calibration before it will operate.

5. Pull the transmitter trigger to full throttle, pause, then return the trigger to center.

6. Push the transmitter trigger to full brake, pause, then return the trigger to center.

7. Turn the transmitter steering wheel to full right, pause, then return

the wheel to center.

8. Turn the transmitter steering wheel to full left, pause, then return

the steering wheel to center. The orange LED ﬂ ashes to conﬁ rm the settings have been accepted.

9. Turn off the vehicle to complete the binding and calibration process.

NOTICE: You must rebind the transmitter and receiver if you

• Change the servo reversing after binding

• Change the travel after binding

• Change the receiver mounting orientation

• Want to use the receiver with a different model memory

• Install the receiver in a different vehicle.

• Are using the receiver in 5.5ms and want telemetry, you must rebind in 11ms.

• Are using the receiver with a DSMR transmitter and you change the frame rate in the transmitter.

CAUTION: When the bind process is complete, the throttle and steering channels are active. Keep hands and loose objects away from all spinning parts on the vehicle.

FAILSAFE

In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will drive the throttle channel to the neutral position. If the receiver is powered on prior to turning on the transmitter, the receiver will enter the failsafe mode, driving the throttle channel to the neutral position. When the transmitter is turned on, normal control is resumed.

IMPORTANT: Failsafe activates only in the event that signal is lost from the transmitter. Failsafe will NOT activate in the event that receiver battery power decreases below the recommended minimums or power to the receiver is lost.

DISABLING AVC TECHNOLOGY IN THE SR6100AT

AVC may be disabled during binding.

1. Power on the receiver and press the bind button 3 times quickly within

1.5 seconds, and then press and hold.

2. When the receiver‘s orange LED begins to ﬂ ash it is in bind mode,

release the bind button.

When the AVC system has been disabled, the LED on the receiver will show three ﬂ ashes upon power up, and then remain lit. The receiver is bound and operating normally when the LED remains illuminated.

NOTICE: If the AVC feature in the receiver is active and the AVC menu in the transmitter is Inhibited, AVC functions will default to the AUX 1 and AUX 2 operation, and in this scenario, AVC will not work correctly.

Selecting INH in the AVC menu on your transmitter will not disable AVC.

AVC TECHNOLOGY SETUP

For the best AVC performance, use the AVC menu on your Spektrum transmitter to tune and manage AVC settings.

Order of operations for AVC setup

1. Install the receiver in your vehicle

2. Bind the vehicle and complete the calibration procedure.

3. Set up servo sub trim, reversing and travel to suit your vehicle.

4. Re-bind and complete calibration again so calibration matches the model

setup.

5. Drive the vehicle with no gain on AVC settings to verify your travel and

other basic settings. If any changes are made re-bind and re-calibrate.

6. Follow the AVC tuning procedure in this manual.

SERVO TRAVEL WITH AVC TECHNOLOGY

AVC technology requires at least 80% travel on steering and throttle in all directions to complete calibration. If you have reduced travel to below 80%, you must increase the travel above 80% to complete calibration.

For vehicles with a mechanical brake, very little servo travel is used to apply braking force. In this case it is common to reduce throttle travel for braking well below 80%. To calibrate a vehicle with a mechanical brake, increase the brake travel above 80% whenever the vehicle is calibrated (bound), then change the braking travel back to the travel setting for your brakes.

AUX CHANNELS AND AVC TECHNOLOGY

When AVC is active, the SR6100AT receiver will use the AUX 1 and AUX 2 channels for gain control. AUX 1 and AUX 2 should be allocated for AVC when AVC is active. This is done automatically when the AVC menu is selected in your transmitter, but if you are not using the AVC menu, AUX1 or AUX2 should not be used for other mixes or to control other applications (servos, etc.)

The AUX 1 and AUX 2 ports can be used in AVC mode to power a personal transponder, lights, drive servos, or operate auxiliary devices. However, AUX 1 will command steering gain, and AUX 2 will command throttle gain regardless of what is plugged into the AUX 1 or AUX 2 ports. AUX 1 and AUX 2 are not independent when AVC is active. For an independent channel, use AUX 3 or 4.

NOTICE: Using the SR6100AT receiver without the AVC menu on your transmitter or using AUX 1 or AUX 2 to command auxiliary functions may result in poor AVC performance.

• If 5.5ms frame rate is selected in the transmitter, only two channels, Steering and Throttle, are operational. The Aux channels can be used to power a personal transponder or lights.

• If a frame rate other than 5.5ms is selected, the Aux channels will operate as extra servo channels.

SPEKTRUM DX5C • TRANSMITTER INSTRUCTION MANUAL

AVC TUNING

A value from 0 to 100 is used for three settings that affect tuning; steering gain, throttle gain, and priority. These values conﬁ gure the receiver to your vehicle so you can tune it for optimal performance based on your driving style. It is normal for gain and priority tuning results to vary.

WHAT IS GAIN?

A gain value of 0 will result in zero electronic corrections, and a gain of 100 will result in large corrections in an effort to hold a straight line.

• Steering gain tells the receiver how strongly to assist steering when the vehicle begins to spin out of control.

• Throttle gain manages how much the receiver can ease off the throttle when the vehicle begins to spin out of control.

The default gain values in Spektrum transmitter AVC menus are set at

50. We recommend adjusting gain values 5 points at a time. Fine tune the settings with smaller increments as desired performance is achieved. Avoid large increases to steering gain values between tests.

WHAT IS PRIORITY?

Priority tells the receiver how much you want to be able to override the electronic stability with your steering commands. A low priority means AVC will make steering corrections when you turn the wheel all the way. A high priority will reduce AVC the more you turn the wheel.

The default priority value in Spektrum transmitter AVC menus is 100. This means when you turn the steering wheel to the limit, the gain is reduced to zero. This value will work well for a majority of drivers.

WHAT IS HEADING HOLD?

Heading hold maintains the vehicle’s direction. It is normal to see the wheels steer in the same direction the vehicle was last pointed. If a vehicle with AVC technology is lifted off the ground and turned from side to side, the wheels will steer in an effort to get back to the original heading. When driving, heading hold only works when the steering wheel is left straight. The moment you begin to turn the wheel, heading hold turns off. When the wheel is re-centered, heading hold is turned back on and is set to the new heading.

AVC TUNING PROCEDURE

With the transmitter and receiver already bound and properly calibrated, turn on the transmitter and vehicle.

2. Apply throttle, do not turn the steering wheel, and observe how well

the vehicle can maintain a straight line at high speed.

• If the vehicle does not make enough steering corrections to

maintain a straight line, increase the steering gain.

• If the vehicle ﬁ shtails due to wheel-spin, increase the throttle gain.

• If the vehicle wobbles (oscillates), reduce the steering gain.

• Once you ﬁ nd the highest steering gain values that prevent

oscillations at high speed, use those numbers as your steering gain limit and don’t go any higher.

3. Drive the vehicle through accelerated turns and observe how it

responds.

• If the vehicle slows down going into a turn, reduce the throttle gain.

• To allow the vehicle to slide more with intentional wheel-spin,

reduce the throttle gain.

• To improve traction in slick conditions, increase throttle gain.

• If the vehicle won’t turn-in, increase the priority.

• If the vehicle spins out, there are two tuning options to consider;

1. Increasing throttle gain will give the receiver more authority to reduce throttle when the vehicle begins to spin out.

2. Reducing priority will give the receiver more authority to help correct oversteer.

GENERAL AVC TUNING TIPS

For beginner drivers, low grip conditions, and vehicles with excessive power, more gain will be helpful.

For terrain with more grip and increased speeds, tuning will result in lower steering gain values.

CHANGING BATTERY VOLTAGE WHEN USING AVC

If you increase voltage going to your vehicle, the maximum steering gain setting will have to be reduced. At the same time, when increasing voltage increased throttle gain will help manage the extra power.

For example: If a truck set up for 2S is upgraded to 3S, the truck may oscillate at high speeds on 3S, requiring steering gain to be reduced. Throttle gain will have a bigger effect on 3S, so increasing throttle gain may be beneﬁ cial.
