aircraft transmitters

Receiver Installation In gas- and glow-powered boats, ithe typical practice is to wrap the main receiver in protective foam for vibration protection and fasten it in place using rubber bands or hook and loop straps inside the radio box. Alternately, in electric boats, it’s acceptable to use thick double-sided foam tape to fasten the receiver in place.

Feeder Antennas

324mm

199mm

31mm

The MR3000 incorporates dual feeder antennas, offering the security of dual path RF redundancy. The last 31mm is the active portion of the antenna and should not be cut or bent over the end of an antenna tube.

During operation the receiver switches between the two antennas. Locating the antennas in different locations in the boat improves the ability of the receiver to see the signal in all conditions.

Antenna A

Antenna B

Installing the Antennas For optimum performance, mount the antennas in an orientation allowing the best possible signal reception. Mount one antenna vertically up through an antenna tube as high above the water line as practical. Mount the other antenna horizontally, typically just under the edge of the deck, using tape to fasten the antenna in place.

Antenna A

Antenna B

Plugging In the Leads Plug the servo leads into the appropriate servo ports in the receiver noting the polarity of the servo connector. Note that the receiver features dual throttle and steering outputs that allow dual throttles or dual steering servos.

Binding You must bind the MR3000 receiver to the transmitter before it will operate. Binding teaches the receiver the speciﬁc code of the transmitter so it only connects to that transmitter.

1. To bind an MR3000 to a compatible transmitter, insert the bind plug in the BD

port on the receiver.

2. Power the receiver through any open port. The LED on the receiver should be

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

Note: To bind a boat with an electronic speed controller that powers the receiver

through the throttle channel (ESC/BEC), insert the bind plug into the BD port in the receiver and the throttle lead into one of the throttle (TH) ports.

3. Move the steering wheel and throttle on a surface transmitter and the sticks and

switches on an aircraft transmitter to the desired failsafe positions, generally low throttle and neutral steering positions. See the failsafe section for more information about failsafe.

4. Follow the procedures of your speciﬁc transmitter to enter bind mode; the

system connects 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 BD port on the receiver before you power off the

transmitter and store it in a convenient place.

IMPORTANT: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind

mode the next time the power is turned on.

6. After you’ve set up your boat, rebind the system so the true low throttle and

neutral control surface positions are set.

Failsafe The MR3000 features Preset Failsafe that is ideal for most types of boats. With Preset Failsafe, when the signal is lost all channels are driven to their preset failsafe positions (normally low throttle and neutral steering). Failsafe positions are set during the binding process (see step 3 of the Binding section).

Receiver Power Only

• When the receiver only is turned on (transmitter is off), all channels have no

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

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, Preset Failsafe

drives all servos to their preset failsafe position that was set during binding.

• When the signal is regained, the system immediately (less than 4ms) regains

control.

Receiver Power System Requirements

Inadequate power systems that do not provide the necessary minimum voltage to the receiver have become the number one cause of radio 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 ability to deliver current to the receiver in electric aircraft

• The switch harness, battery leads, servo leads, regulators, etc.

The MR3000 has a minimum operational voltage of 3.5 volts.

Note: The latest generations of nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries incorporate

a new chemistry 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.

Frequently Asked Questions On Using Spektrum 2.4GHz

1. Q: After I’ve bound the receiver to my transmitter, which do I turn on rst, the

transmitter or the receiver?

A: Every Spektrum transmitter has a GUID (Globally Unique Identiﬁer) code

imbedded in its signal. When you bind a Spektrum receiver to your transmitter, this GUID code is stored in the receiver. If you turn the receiver on before the transmitter, you don’t have to worry about it responding to another transmitter. The receiver will wait for a signal from the transmitter with the same GUID code it has stored.

If the transmitter is turned on ﬁrst you can expect it to connect within 15 seconds of powering on the receiver.

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

connect at all. Why?

A: In order for the system to connect, the receiver must receive a large number of

uninterrupted signal packets from the transmitter. This process takes just a few seconds, but if the transmitter is too close to the receiver (within 4 feet) or near metal objects (such as a metal transmitter case, metal truck bed, or metal work bench) it may detect its own reﬂected 2.4GHz energy as “noise”. This can delay or prevent connection.

If this happens make sure you are a sufﬁcient distance from metal objects and the receiver itself before you power up and try again.

3. Q: Is it true that Spektrum systems are less tolerant of low voltage?

A: All Spektrum receivers require at least 3.5V to operate normally. Most servos

cease to operate below 3.8V. Using multiple high-voltage servos, however, with an inadequate power supply can allow voltage to momentarily drop below

3.5V. This will cause the receiver to “brown out” and reconnect.All recently

manufactured JR and Spektrum 2.4GHz receivers feature QuickConnect

technology that will reconnect the system within a quarter of a second should a brown out occur.

4. Q: Sometimes when I power on my Spektrum system I notice the receiver won’t

connect and it needs to be rebound to the transmitter. Can this happen in use?

A: No. The receiver cannot be unbound from its transmitter without speciﬁc action

by the user. You can accidentally unbind a receiver by inadvertently putting your transmitter into bind mode. If this happens and the transmitter doesn’t detect a binding signal from the receiver it can cause the receiver to be unbound.

If your system fails to connect, chances are much greater that it’s the result of one of the following conditions and not because the receiver is unbound.

1. You’ve selected the wrong model memory.

2. The transmitter is too close to conductive material to connect (see FAQ 2).
