BINDING

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identiﬁ er) code of a single speciﬁ c transmitter. The DX18 and AR9020 are pre-bound at the factory. You will need to rebind after the model programming is initially set up to fully program the model’s failsafe positions.

9SPEKTRUM DX18 • TRANSMITTER INSTRUCTION MANUAL

PROGRAMMING FAILSAFE POSITIONS

You establish failsafe positions when you bind your transmitter and receiver. If radio signal connection is lost between the transmitter and receiver, the receiver immediately moves the aircraft control surfaces to the failsafe positions. The Spektrum AR9020 receiver has three failsafes programming options: SmartSafe, Hold Last Command, and Preset. If you assign the receiver THRO channel to a transmitter channel other than throttle , we recommend using Preset failsafe with the throttle in the low position.

NOTICE: Failsafe features vary according to receiver. Always consult the receiver instruction manual for failsafe features. Before ﬂ ight, ALWAYS conﬁ rm the failsafe functions as you would expect.

SmartSafe Failsafe

SmartSafe is a failsafe acting only on the throttle channel that offers the following beneﬁ ts:

• Prevents electric motors from operating when the receiver power is on and the transmitter power is off.

• Prevents the speed controller from arming until the throttle is moved to the low throttle position.

• Powers off an electric motor and reduces gas/glow engines to idle if signal is lost.

To Program SmartSafe, move the throttle to the low or off position before putting the transmitter in bind mode.

Hold Last Command

The Hold Last Command failsafe maintains the last command on all channels except throttle; if radio signal is lost, the aircraft maintains the commanded heading until the receiver regains signal. To program Hold Last Command, follow the provided binding instructions in this instruction manual.

Preset Failsafe

The Preset failsafe moves all channels to their programmed failsafe positions. We recommend using Preset failsafe to deploy spoilers on sailplanes to prevent a ﬂ yaway if radio signal is lost.

To program Preset failsafe:

1. Insert the bind plug in the bind port on the receiver and power on the receiver.

2. Remove the bind plug when the orange LED on the main receiver and all attached remote receivers ﬂ ash rapidly. The orange receiver LEDs continue ﬂ ashing.

To Test the SmartSafe

1. Power the transmitter and receiver on.

2. Power off the transmitter. The throttle should immediately move to the failsafe 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.

To Test Hold Last Command

1. Power on the transmitter and receiver.

2. Move one of the control sticks and hold the input.

3. While holding the control input, for example, a small amount of rudder, power off the transmitter. The rudder should maintain the input command.

CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is restrained on the

ground. If the failsafe does not function as you would expect, the aircraft throttle might advance to mid or full throttle.

3. Move the transmitter control sticks and switches to the desired Preset failsafe position. Power the transmitter on.

4. Failsafe programming is complete when the orange LEDs on the transmitter and all receivers are on solid.

CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is restrained on the

ground. If the failsafe does not function as you would

expect, the aircraft throttle might advance to mid or full throttle.

10 SPEKTRUM DX18 • TRANSMITTER INSTRUCTION MANUAL

X-PLUS™

X-Plus Channels and Failsafe

Failsafe is not supported for servos connected to the X-Plus Module. We recommend that no failsafe should be expected or attempted for a servo connected through the X-Plus Module. However, servos connected to the X-Plus Module will hold last command in the event of a failsafe condition.

To Activate X-Plus

1. Open the Frame Rate Menu in System Setup.

2. Scrolll to X-Plus and press the scroll wheel to activate. The X-Plus Inputs screen is now active in the Channel Assign menu.

AUX6 and AUX7 channels are available on 12-channel receivers when X-Plus is active. AUX6 and AUX7 are 2048 resolution and 22ms frame rate (12-channel receivers only).

Channels X+1 and X+2 are duplicate channels of channels 11 and 12 on a 12 channel receiver with X-Plus active. If channels 11 and 12 require any adjustment for travel adjust, servo reversing, sub trim or any other function, adjust channels X+1 and X+2. Note that channels 11 and 12 will also show on the X-Plus monitor as channels X+1 and X+2.

If you select 11ms frame rate before you activate X-Plus, the transmitter reverts to 22ms frame rate when X-Plus is active.

CAUTION: Do NOT connect throttle or any primary

control surface to the X-Plus Module. The X-Plus channels are intended to be used for auxiliary functions only. X-Plus channels have a resolution of 512 and variable latency from 22ms to about 88ms. When X-Plus is active, the ﬁ rst 10 channels default to 22ms.

Refer to community.spektrumrc.com for more information about X-Plus options.
