Tactic TR625 6-Ch User Manual

TR625

2.4GHz 6-CHANNEL TWIN ANTENNA RECEIVER

This receiver is capable of full-range operation

for any aircraft type. Its SLT protocol makes it compatible with all Tactic brand 2.4GHz aircraft transmitters, and other brand radios that include the SLT protocol.

OVERVIEW AND INSTALLATION

Refer to the instructions with the aircraft to determine the optimum position for installing the receiver. In some aircraft it’s recommended to ﬁ rst wrap the receiver in protective foam, and then use hook-and-loop material to mount it to the aircraft.

IMPORTANT! Pay close attention to how the antenna tips are routed inside the model. It’s best to orient the antenna tips at least 5 inches away from each other, preferably pointing at 90° angles. If possible, align one antenna tip horizontally and the other vertically inside the model.

LINK THE RECEIVER TO THE TACTIC/SLT COMPATIBLE TRANSMITTER

Linking the TR625 receiver to the Tactic / SLT compatible transmitter ensures sole communication between the two, and prevents other transmitters from being able to control the receiver.

1. Turn on the Tx.

2. Apply power to the Rx.

3. If the Rx LED ﬂ ashes once and then stays on, the Rx is already

linked to the Tx and you can skip to the next section. Otherwise, insert a small diameter screwdriver through the hole marked “LINK” and press the pushbutton until the Rx LED glows red and then turns off after about one second.

If the receiver is powered without the transmitter being turned on, or signal from the transmitter is not recognized by the receiver, the receiver will go to failsafe mode as described in the following section.

4. Release the “LINK” button.

5. If the linking is successful, the Rx LED will ﬂ ash once and

then remain ON.

6. Test for proper Tx/Rx functionality before use. If the radio doesn’t appear to have become properly bound, repeat steps 1–5 above.

FAILSAFE FUNCTION

The radio system’s failsafe function is controlled by the TR625 receiver, which engages in the event that the signal from the Tx

somehow becomes interrupted. In such case, channels 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 will hold their last recognized position.

Throttle, channel 3, however, can move to a position which is pre-set by the user during the linking process. The factory default

failsafe position for channel 3 is to move to 0% throttle. The throttle’s failsafe position can be manually set to any other position if desired, as follows:

1. IMPORTANT: make sure the throttle channel’s servo reverse setting is in the correct position for the application.

2. Apply power to the Tx, then the Rx. 3a. If using an ESC: do NOT arm the ESC, or attempt to adjust

the throttle’s failsafe position if the ESC is armed. NOTE: If you’re using an ESC which has a signal loss feature, its pre-set failsafe position will be irrelevant as the receiver’s failsafe function will cease the throttle operation if the signal is lost.

3b. If using a combustion engine: do NOT attempt to adjust the throttle’s failsafe position while the engine is operating.

SYSTEM AND RANGE CHECK

Check the instruction manual included with the Tactic radio for the proper steps to perform a system check before ﬂ ight.

WARNING! Always make sure that power is applied to the transmitter BEFORE applying power to the receiver and servos, and the Tx throttle stick is at minimum (idle) position. Failure to do so could result in the model becoming uncontrollable

4. Move the Tx throttle stick to the desired throttle failsafe position.

5. Press and hold the receiver’s “LINK” button. The Rx’s LED

should blink twice. Release the LINK button, and the LED should stay on continuously. The Tx and Rx should now be linked, with the throttle failsafe in the new position as set above.

6. Prior to ﬂ ight, check the position of the failsafe. It’s best to check the system with the propeller removed from the aircraft and the aircraft restrained.

and cause a safety hazard. It’s best to check the system with the propeller removed from the aircraft. Always perform a signal range check to ensure a good link exists between the transmitter and receiver. Once ﬂ ight is complete, immediately disconnect the power from the aircraft before removing power from the transmitter.

Always perform a signal range check to ensure a good link exists between the transmitter and receiver at distance. Refer to the

instruction manual with the mating transmitter to determine the best method.
