WATERPROOF COMPONENT
Your new Spektrum™ receiver has been designed and built to allow you
to operate your vehicle in many wet conditions, including puddles, creeks,
wet grass, snow and even rain.
While waterproof, this component has not been designed to be immersed in
water for long periods of time and should NOT be treated like a submarine.
In addition, most metal parts, including any screws and nuts, as well as the
contacts in the electrical cables, will be susceptible to corrosion if additional
maintenance is not performed after running in wet conditions.
To maximize the long-term performance of your receiver and to keep the
warranty intact, it should only be used as described in the “Usage Conditions”
section of this manual. Additionally, the procedures described in the “Wet
Conditions Maintenance” section must be performed regularly if you choose
to run in wet conditions. If you are not willing to perform the additional care
and maintenance required, then you should not operate your vehicle in those
conditions.
CAUTION: Failure to exercise caution while using this product and
comply with the following precautions could result in product malfunction
and/or void the warranty.
General Precautions
Read through the wet conditions maintenance procedures and make sure
that you have all the tools you will need to properly maintain your receiver.
Do not operate your receiver where it could come in contact with salt water
(ocean water or water on salt-covered roads), contaminated or polluted
water. Salt water is very conductive and highly corrosive, so use caution.
Usage Conditions
Your receiver will operate successfully in any of the following, individual-usage
scenarios:
•
2 hours continuous operation in dew-covered (damp) grass or vegetation.
•
2 hours continuous operation in heavy fog (95% humidity, saturated air,
condensing water).
•
1 hour continuous operation in light rain (< 0.10 in / 2.5mm per hour).
•
15 minutes continuous operation in heavy rain (> 0.30 in / 7.6mm per hour).
•
1 hour continuous operation in light sleet (< 0.10 in / 2.5mm per hour).
•
1 hour continuous operation in light snow (< 0.25 in / 6.35mm per hour).
•
45 minutes continuous operation in standing or running fresh water (the
water level should always remain below the vehicle frame), or constant
splashing water, without any immersion of waterproof component(s).
EN
3
EN
•
5 minutes continuous operation in standing or running fresh water (the water
level should never rise higher than 0.5 in (about 10 mm) above the vehicle
frame), constant splashing water, or frequent, intermittent immersion of
waterproof component(s).
•
1 hour continuous operation in damp sand, dirt, mud or snow (the material
level should always be below the vehicle frame), constant splatter without
any immersion or coverage of waterproof component(s).
Furthermore, when appropriate maintenance procedures (as described below)
are performed promptly following exposure, the receiver will remain best
protected from corrosion or other long-term, water-related damage.
Wet Conditions Maintenance
•
Gently rinse the mud and dirt off the vehicle with a garden hose.
•
Remove the battery pack(s) and dry the contacts.
•
If you have an air compressor or a can of compressed air available,
blow off the receiver to help remove any water that may have gotten
into small crevices or corners. Dry any water that may be inside a
recessed connector housing.
•
Let the receiver air dry before you store it. Water may continue to seep
or evaporate out of tight areas for a few hours.
NOTICE: Never use a pressure washer to clean your vehicle.
NOTICE: The receiver is waterproofed for use in wet conditions. Make sure
the other components in your vehicle are waterproof or water-resistant
before driving in wet conditions.
AVC – ACTIVE VEHICLE CONTROL
AVC™ technology is the newest Spektrum™ RC innovation from Horizon
Hobby. This Spektrum stabilization system adds a whole new level of control
to your RC driving experience. AVC technology utilizes sensors to adjust
steering and throttle output, providing you with a more stable and
controlled driving experience.
NOTICE: You must use digital servos with the SR4210 receiver.
Using analog servos will reduce the performance of the system
and may cause analog servos to overheat.

SRS4210 INSTRUCTION MANUAL
The Spektrum™ SRS4210 DSMR™ Surface receiver is
compatible with all Spektrum DSMR transmitters and is also
backwards compatible with DSM2® transmitters. The SRS4210
receiver is NOT compatible with DSM® transmitters. For a complete
list of compatible transmitters, see the SRS4210 product page
on spektrumrc.com.

The Aux channels can operate as additional servo channels, or as a
power supply for a personal transponder. If AVC is active, only two channels,
Steering and Throttle, are operational. The Aux channels can be used to
power a personal transponder or lights.
If AVC is disabled (see DISABLING THE STABILITY ASSIST FUNCTION
to disable AVC), the Aux channels will operate as servo channels.

Receiver Connection and Installation
You must install the receiver in the vehicle before binding the transmitter
and receiver. The receiver can be mounted flat with the label up or on its
side. When you bind the receiver, the AVC system automatically detects the
orientation of the receiver. The receiver must be mounted completely flat
when in the label-up orientation or completely perpendicular when
mounted on its side. If the receiver is angled even slightly,
AVC may not function properly. If the orientation of the
receiver is changed after binding, you must then
rebind for AVC to fuction properly.
Install the Receiver in your vehicle using the included double-sided foam
servo tape. Foam servo tape will hold the receiver in place and help isolate
it from vibrations.
IMPORTANT: Do not use hook & loop material to install the SRS4210 receiver.
Using hook & loop material will affect the performance of the AVC system.
Mount the antenna up and away from the vehicle in an antenna tube.
The higher up the antenna is, the better signal it will receive.
NOTICE: Do not cut or modify the antenna.
Failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will drive
the throttle channel to the neutral position. If the receiver is powered on prior
to turning on the transmitter, the receiver will enter the failsafe mode, driving
the throttle channel to the neutral position. When the transmitter is turned on,
normal control is resumed.
IMPORTANT: Failsafe activates only in the event that signal is lost from the
transmitter. Failsafe will NOT activate in the event that receiver battery power
decreases below the recommended minimums or power to the receiver is lost.

Binding Receiver to Transmitter
In order to operate, the receiver must be bound to the transmitter. Binding
is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally
Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. When areceiver is
bound to atransmitter/model memory, the receiver will only respond to
that specific transmitter/model memory.
Binding and Calibrating the Receiver
You must calibrate the receiver each time it is placed in bind mode.
IMPORTANT: The following sequence of steps must be followed in order
for AVC to function properly.
1. Insert the Bind Plug in the BIND port on the receiver.
2. Power on the receiver. The orange LED flashes, indicating the receiver
is in bind mode.
3. Center the ST TRIM and TH TRIM on the transmitter.
4. Put your transmitter in bind mode.
5. The bind process is complete when the orange LED on the receiver
is solid.
6. Pull the transmitter trigger to Full Throttle.
7. Push the transmitter trigger to Full Brake, then return the trigger to center.
8. Turn the transmitter steering wheel to Full Right.
9. Turn the transmitter steering wheel to Full Left, then return the steering
wheel to center. The orange LED flashes once.
10. Remove the bind plug once the calibration and binding process
is complete.
11. Power off the transmitter.
IMPORTANT: You must rebind the transmitter and receiver if you:
•
Change the servo reverse after binding
•
Change the travel after binding
•
Want to use the receiver with a different model memory
If you change the servo reversing or travel adjust after binding, AVC will not
work properly.
Disabling the Stability Assist Function
If you participate in organized racing, you may be required to turn AVC
technology off. To turn off AVC technology, insert a second Bind Plug
in the Disable port before binding.
IMPORTANT: You must calibrate the receiver each time it is placed in
bind mode. To activate AVC, see the steps in BINDING AND CALIBRATING
THE RECEIVER.
