Tactic TTX240 2-Ch SLT User Manual

TACJ0245 v2.2
2.4GHz Radio Control System INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Thank you for making the Tactic TTX240 2.4GHz system your choice for radio control! This system uses modern
2.4GHz Spread Spectrum technology – an innovation that allows for automatic channel selection and interference­free control of R/C models.
It is strongly recommended to completely read this manual before use! Damage resulting from misuse or modifi cation will void your warranty.

The transmitter (Tx) requires 4 “AA” batteries. Non-rechargeable alkaline or rechargeable nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) cells can be used. Do not mix old and new cells, or mix non-rechargeable alkaline cells with rechargeable NiCd or NiMH cells, etc. See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section at the end of this manual for optional rechargeable NiCd and NiMH batteries and chargers. Note the TTX240 transmitter does not include a charge jack for rechargeable cells. A separate “AA” cell charger will

be necessary.
To install the batteries, slide open the battery door on the bottom of the Tx (see fi gure 1). Install the batteries in the holder as shown in the diagram (see marks molded inside the case). Make sure to note the proper polarities on each cell. Close the battery door.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate an R/C model with weak batteries as it could result in reduced range and/or possible loss of control!

Press the power switch to turn the Tx on (see fi gure 2). The “POWER” LED should illuminate. If not, turn off the Tx and check the batteries to make sure each cell is fi rmly in place and in the proper direction. If the Tx LED blinks, the batteries are low on power and should be replaced.
When operating the model, carefully rotate the Tx antenna so that it’s always locked in the full upright position.

BIND THE RECEIVER TO THE TRANSMITTER
For proper installation and operation of the 2.4GHz transmitter and receiver system, it is necessary to “bind” them together electronically. This ensures sole communication between the two and prevents other transmitters from being able to control the receiver. To bind the Tx and Rx:
1. Turn on the transmitter.
2. Apply power to the receiver (see the INSTALLATION section that follows for how to do this).
3. If the receiver’s LED fl ashes once and then stays on, the Rx is already bound to the Tx and you can skip to the next section. Otherwise, push and hold the receiver’s “BIND” button until its LED glows red and then turns off after about one second.
4. Release the bind button.
5. If the binding is successful, the LED will fl ash once and then remain ON.
6. Test for proper Tx / Rx functionality by completing the next section. If it doesn’t seem the radio has bound properly, repeat steps 1-6 above.
INSTALLATION
Receiver: Mount the receiver
as specifi ed in your model’s instructions. As a guideline, mount in a secure location using double-sided tape. Route the servo wires so they do not interfere with any moving parts. For boat applications, it’s highly recommended to wrap the receiver in a balloon or enclose it in a water-tight box.

Servos: See the SERVOS AND ACCESSORIES section at the end of this
manual for a full list of optional servos. CENTER THE TRIM DIALS on the Tx. Mount the servos inside the model and connect the linkages to the servo using an appropriate length servo arm. Make sure all mechanical linkages are free of obstructions and can move smoothly. Connect the servos to the receiver as shown in Figure 3. Turn the transmitter’s trim dials to fi nely adjust the servo’s center point as needed to match the installation.
Electronic Speed Control (ESC): If using an electronic speed control, connect
it to channel 2 of the receiver (throttle). Center the transmitter’s throttle trim and follow the ESC instructions for programming.
