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.
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.
EN
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.

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.
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 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
EN
EN
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.”

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.
