• Telemetry compatible Receiver Installation

The AR6210 incorporates dual receivers, offering the security of dual path RF redundancy. An internal receiver is located on the main PC 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).

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 vertical and horizontal and at different angles (see Receiver Installation below). The remote receiver 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 Aircraft

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 this remote receiver in a slightly different location, even just inches away from the primary receivers, 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 antennas. 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.

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.

Important: Y-Harnesses and Servo Extensions

When using a Y-harness or servo extensions in your installation, it’s important to use standard nonampliﬁed 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 an existing model to Spektrum be certain that all amplﬁed Y-harnesses and/or servo extensions are replaced with conventional non-ampliﬁed versions.

Binding

The AR6210 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 AR6210 to a DSM2 or DSMX transmitter, insert the bind plug in the BIND/DATA port on the receiver.

Note: 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. Note that the LED on the receiver should be ﬂashing, indicating that the

receiver is in bind mode and ready to be bound to the transmitter.

Shown using a separate receiver pack. Shown using an ESC/BEC and a ﬂight pack. (Battery can be plugged into any open port.)

3. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the desired failsafe positions

(low throttle and neutral control positions).

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 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

The AR6210 features SmartSafe failsafe. SmartSafe is ideal for most types of aircraft. With SmartSafe, when signal is lost the throttle channel only is driven to its preset failsafe position (normally low throttle) while all other channels hold last command.

• Prevents unintentional electric motor response on startup.

• Eliminates the possibility of over-driving servos on start-up by storing preset failsafe positions.

• Establishes low-throttle failsafe and maintains last-commanded control surface position if the RF

signal is lost.

Receiver Power Only

• When the receiver only is turned on (no transmitter signal is present), the throttle channel has no

output, to avoid operating or arming the electronic speed control.

• All other channels are driven to their preset failsafe positions set during binding.

Note: Some analog servos may coast slightly even though no signal is present. This is normal.

After Connection

• When the transmitter is turned on and after the receiver connects to the transmitter, normal control

of all channels occurs.

• After the system makes a connection, if loss of signal occurs SmartSafe drives the throttle servo

only to its preset failsafe position (low throttle) that was set during binding.

• All other channels hold their last commanded position. When the signal is regained, the system

immediately (less than 4ms) regains control.

Plugging in the Leads

Plug the servo leads into the appropriate servo ports in the receiver noting the polarity of the servo connector.

Red LED Hold Indicator

The AR6210 features a red LED that indicates the number of holds that have occurred since the receiver was last powered on. The LED will ﬂash the number of holds then pause (e.g., ﬂash, ﬂash, ﬂash, pause, ﬂash, ﬂash, ﬂash, pause indicates three holds occurred since the receiver was last turned on). Note that holds are reset to zero when the receiver is turned off. During the ﬁrst ﬂights of a new airplane, it’s recommended to check the red LED hold indicator. If it’s ﬂashing, it’s important to optimize the installation (move or reposition antennas) until no hold occurs. On later ﬂights, the LED Hold Indicator can be used to conﬁrm RF link performance.

Pull and hold the Trainer Switch

30 paces (90 feet/28 meters)

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, allowing a range check.

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 with the button depressed at 30 paces (90 feet/28 meters).

4. If control issues exist, call the appropriate product support department.

Receiver Power System Requirements

Inadequate power systems that are unable to 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 AR6210 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. small or old battery, ESC that may not have a BEC that will support high current draw, etc.), it is recommended that a voltmeter be used to perform the following tests.

Note: The Hangar 9 Digital Servo & Rx Current Meter (HAN172) or the Spektrum Flight Log

(SPM9540) is the perfect tool to perform the test below.

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.

: The latest generations of Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries incorporate a new chemistry

Caution

mandated to be more environmentally friendly. These batteries when charged with peak detection fast chargers have tendencies to false peak (not fully charge) repeatedly. These include all brands of NiMH batteries. If using NiMH packs, be especially cautious when charging, making absolutely sure that the battery is fully charged. It is recommended to use a charger that can display total charge capacity. Note the number of mAh put into a discharged pack to verify it has been charged to full capacity.

QuickConnect™ With Brownout Detection (Brownout Detection not available with DSMX)

Your AR6210 features QuickConnect with Brownout Detection. (Brownout Detection not available with DSMX)

• 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.

(DSM2 Only)

• 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 interrupting control as the servos and receiver require a minimum of 3.5 volts to operate.

How QuickConnect™ 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.

• If the transmitter was left on, the system reconnects typically in about 4/100 of a second.

QuickConnect is designed to allow you to ﬂy safely through most short duration power interruptions, however, the root cause of these interruptions must be corrected before the next ﬂight to prevent a crash.

Note: If a brownout occurs in ﬂight it is vital that the cause of the brownout be determined and

corrected.

Flight Log (SPM9540 Optional)

The Flight Log is compatible with the AR6210. The Flight Log displays overall RF link performance as well as the individual internal and external receiver link data. Additionally it displays receiver voltage.

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 AR6210. The screen will automatically display voltage e.g. 6v2= 6.2 volts. Note: 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 antenna 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. Note: 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.

Tips on Using Spektrum 2.4GHz

™

ModelMatch

Some Spektrum and JR transmitters offer a patent pending feature called ModelMatch. ModelMatch 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.

Note: 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.

While your DSM equipped 2.4GHz system is intuitive to operate, functioning nearly identically to 72MHz systems, following are a few common questions from customers.

1. Q: Which do I turn on rst, the transmitter or the receiver?

A: If the receiver is turned on ﬁrst —all servos except for the throttle will be driven to their preset

failsafe positions set during binding. At this time the throttle channel doesn’t output a pulse

position preventing the arming of electronic speed controllers, or in the case of an engine powered aircraft, the throttle servo remains in its current position. When the transmitter is then turned on the transmitter scans the 2.4GHz band and acquires two open channels. Then the receiver that was previously bound to the transmitter scans the band and ﬁnds the GUID (Globally Unique Identiﬁer code) stored during binding. The system then connects and operates normally. If the transmitter is turned on ﬁrst—the transmitter scans the 2.4GHz band and acquires two open channels. (When the receiver is then turned on, for a short period (the time it takes to connect) all servos except for the throttle are driven to their preset failsafe positions while the throttle has no output pulse.) The receiver scans the 2.4GHz band looking for the previously stored GUID and when it locates the speciﬁc GUID code and conﬁrms uncorrupted repeatable packet information, the system connects and normal operation takes place. Typically this takes 2 to 6 seconds.

2. Q: Sometimes the system takes longer to connect and sometimes it doesn’t connect

at all?

A: In order for the system to connect (after the receiver is bound) the receiver must receive a large

number of consecutive uninterrupted perfect packets from the transmitter in order to connect. This process is purposely critical of the environment ensuring that it’s safe to ﬂy when the system does connect. If the transmitter is too close to the receiver (less than 4 ft.) or if the transmitter is located near metal objects (metal TX case, the bed of a truck, the top of a metal work bench, etc.) connection will take longer and in some cases connection will not occur as the system is receiving reﬂected 2.4GHz energy from itself and is interpreting this as unfriendly noise. Moving the system away from metal objects or moving the transmitter away from the receiver and powering the system again will cause a connection to occur. This only happens during the initial connection. Once connected the system is locked in and should a loss of signal occur (failsafe) the system connects immediately (4ms) when signal is regained.

3. Q: I’ve heard that the DSM system is less tolerant of low voltage. Is this correct?

A: All DSM receivers have an operational voltage range of 3.5 to 9 volts. With most systems this is

not a problem as in fact most servos cease to operate at around 3.8 volts. When using multiple high-current draw servos with a single or inadequate battery/ power source, heavy momentary loads can cause the voltage to dip below this 3.5-volt threshold thus causing the entire system (servos and receiver) to brown out. When the voltage drops below the low voltage threshold (3.5 volts), the DSM receiver must reboot (go through the startup process of scanning the band and ﬁnding the transmitter) and this can take several seconds. Please read the receiver power requirement section as this explains how to test for and prevent this occurrence.

4. Q: Sometimes my receiver loses its bind and won’t connect requiring rebinding.

What happens if the bind is lost in ight?

A: The receiver will never lose its bind unless it’s instructed to. It’s important to understand that

during the binding process the receiver not only learns the GUID (code) of the transmitter but the transmitter learns and stores the type of receiver that it’s bound to. If the transmitter is placed into bind mode, the transmitter looks for the binding protocol signal from a receiver. If no signal is present, the transmitter no longer has the correct information to connect to a speciﬁc receiver and in essence the transmitter has been “unbound” from the receiver. We’ve had several DX7 customers that use transmitter stands or trays that unknowingly depress the bind button and the system is then turned on losing the necessary information to allow the connection to take place. We’ve also had DX7 customers that didn’t fully understand the range test process and pushed the bind button before turning on the transmitter also causing the system to “lose its bind.”

Ein interner Empfänger beﬁndet sich auf der Hauptplatine, während ein zweiter externer Empfänger am Flugzeug befestigt wird. Jeder Empfänger ist seiner eigenen RF-Umgebung ausgesetzt, wodurch die Pfaddiversität (die Fähigkeit des Empfängers, das Signal unter allen Bedingungen zu empfangen) erheblich verbessert wird.

Antennenpolarisation

Um eine optimale Leistung der RF-Verbindung zu ermöglichen, müssen die Antennen in einer Ausrichtung montiert werden, die bei allen möglichen Stellungen und Positionen des Flugzeugs einen optimalen Signalempfang ermöglicht. Dies wird als Antennenpolarisation bezeichnet. Die Antennen sollten im rechten Winkel zueinander montiert werden; typischerweise vertikal und horizontal und in unterschiedlichen Winkeln (siehe „Einbau des Empfängers“ weiter unten). Die Antenne des Fernempfängers sollte mit doppelseitigem Schaumstoffklebeband im rechten Winkel zur Antenne des Hauptempfängers und in einem Abstand von mindestens 5 cm zu dieser montiert werden.

Einbau des Empfängers im Flugzeug

In Flugzeugen mit Gas- und Glühzünderantrieb wird der Hauptempfänger mit der gleichen Methode im Flugzeug eingebaut wie ein herkömmlicher Empfänger. Normalerweise wickeln Sie den Hauptempfänger zum Schutz in Schaumstoff ein und befestigen ihn mit Gummibändern oder Klettriemen. In Elektroﬂugzeugen oder -helikoptern können Sie zur Befestigung des Hauptempfängers stattdessen dickes doppelseitiges Schaumstoffklebeband verwenden. Wenn Sie den Fernempfänger in einer geringfügig anderen Position montieren, selbst in nur einigen Zentimetern Abstand vom primären Empfänger, wird die Pfaddiversität erheblich verbessert. Dadurch beﬁndet sich jeder Empfänger in einer anderen RF-Umgebung, was bei der Aufrechterhaltung einer stabilen RF-Verbindung extrem hilfreich ist. Dies ist selbst bei Flugzeugen der Fall, die über viel leitendes Material verfügen (z. B. größere Gasmotoren, Kohlenstofffaser oder Leitungen), was das Signal schwächen kann. Bauen Sie den Fernempfänger mit Servoband ein, wobei die Fernantennen mindestens 5 cm von den Primärantennen entfernt sein müssen. Im Idealfall stehen die Antennen im rechten Winkel zueinander. In Flugzeugen ist es erfahrungsgemäß am besten, den Primärempfänger in der Mitte des Rumpfs auf dem Servoschacht anzubringen und den Fernempfänger seitlich im Rumpf oder im Oberdeck.

In Helikoptern ist auf dem Servoschacht im Allgemeinen genug Platz für die notwendige räumliche Trennung.Bei Bedarf kann zur Befestigung des externen Empfängers eine Halterung aus durchsichtigem Kunststoff gefertigt werden.

Wichtig: Y-Kabelbäume und Servoerweiterungen

Wenn Sie in Ihrer Installation einen Y-Kabelbaum oder Servoerweiterungen verwenden, muss es sich um standardmäßige Y-Kabelbäume und Servoerweiterungen ohne Verstärkung handeln, da die Servos sich sonst möglicherweise erratisch verhalten oder gar nicht funktionieren. Verstärkte Y-Kabelbäume wurden vor einigen Jahren entwickelt, um das Signal für einige ältere PCM-Systeme zu verstärken, und sollten nicht mit Spektrum-Geräten verwendet werden. Wenn Sie ein bestehendes Modell in ein Spektrum-Modell umwandeln, müssen Sie dafür sorgen, dass alle verstärkten Y-Kabelbäume und/ oder Servoerweiterungen durch herkömmliche, unverstärkte Versionen ersetzt werden.

Bindung

Vor dem Betrieb muss der AR6210-Empfänger an den Sender gebunden werden. Beim Binden wird dem Empfänger der speziﬁsche Code des Senders mitgeteilt, damit er sich nur mit diesem einen Sender verbindet.

1. Um einen AR6210 an einen DSM2- oder DSMX-Sender zu binden, stecken Sie den Bindestecker in den BIND/DATA-Anschluss am Empfänger.

Hinweis: Wenn Sie ein Flugzeug mit elektronischem Drehzahlregler binden, das den Empfänger über den Gaskanal (ESC/BEC) betreibt, stecken Sie den Bindestecker in den BIND/ DATA-Anschluss des Empfängers und das Gaskabel in den Gasanschluss (THRO). Fahren Sie mit Schritt 2 fort.

2. Schalten Sie den Empfänger ein. Die LED am Empfänger sollte blinken, was anzeigt, dass sich

der Empfänger im Bindemodus beﬁndet und bereit zur Bindung an den Sender ist.
