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.

EN

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.

NOTICE: Using any servo(s) other than those designed for use with the AR6410L­BL may cause damage to the receiver and/or servo(s) and will void the warranty.

Installing and Plugging in the Optional Servos

Optional Linear Servo

Use double-sided foam tape strips and/or minimal hot glue to mount the servos in
place. The servos must be in the appropriate position to attach to the corre­sponding pushrods. Plug the servo leads into the appropriate servo ports in the
receiver, noting the polarity of the servo connector. Installation will vary depending
on the application.

Smart Bind™

You must first bind the receiver to the transmitter for it to operate. Binding is
teaching the receiver the specific code of the transmitter so it only connects to
that transmitter. The AR6410LBL features Smart Bind. When the receiver is first
powered, the receiver looks for the signal of its previously bound transmitter for
5 seconds. If no signal is found, the receiver automatically goes into bind mode,
indicated by the flashing LED.

Binding

1. Make sure the flight battery is fully charged.

2. Confirm the flight battery is disconnected from the receiver/ESC unit and the

transmitter is turned off.

3. Plug the flight battery into the receiver’s battery connector. After 5 seconds, the

LED on the receiver begins to flash.

4. After verifying the LED is flashing on the receiver, bind the receiver to the

transmitter (see your transmitter’s manual or the supplement that follows).

8

LED

5. If you entered bind mode correctly, you will see a solid LED within about 10

seconds. You should now be bound to the transmitter and have full control and
function.

Transmitter Specific Binding Instructions

1. To bind the AR6400LBL to the transmitter, plug the battery into the receiver. The

LED on the receiver will begin flashing.

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

(low throttle and neutral control positions).

3. DX5e: Pull and hold the Trainer Switch on the transmitter while turning the

transmitter on. Release the trainer switch once the LEDs on the front of the
transmitter flash.
DX6i: Pull and hold the Trainer Switch on the transmitter while turning the
transmitter on. Release the trainer switch once the word BIND flashes on the
LCD screen on the front of the transmitter.
DX7s/DX8: Press the bind button on the back of the transmitter while turning the
transmitter on. The bind button on the back of the transmitter will flash.Release
the button after 2–3 seconds.

4. The LED on the receiver will go solid and the system will connect after several

seconds.

IMPORTANT: Once the system is bound, ALWAYS turn the transmitter on first
and then the receiver to prevent the receiver from re-entering bind mode. If your
receiver inadvertently enters bind mode, unplug the battery from the receiver and
reinstall with the transmitter remaining on.

Advanced Programming Features
NOTICE: To make these changes, enlist the use of a helper to either hold the

aircraft to prevent unintended flyaways or to make the changes on the transmitter.

CAUTION: Make sure your receiver is off BEFORE making any advanced
programming changes to prevent the motor from arming.

The following programming features are only recommended for advanced radio
users. The photos in this section show the E-flite MLP4DSM transmitter; however,
the procedures apply to all compatible transmitters. Prior to making any advanced
programming feature changes, it is necessary to:

1. Choose an empty model location .

2. Select model type ACRO.

3. Perform a model reset.

4. Set all channels to normal.

5. Ensure transmitter and receiver are bound.

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 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 ModelMatch 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 unten aufgeführten Modes.

• DSM2 Sender sind kompatibel mit allen DSM2 und DSMX Empfängern und

arbeiten in dem unten aufgeführten Modes.

• 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.
