Key Input and Display Funcitons

The AH6T utilizes a roller that can be rotated or pressed and two buttons, Back and Clear that are used to access and program all functions.

Battery Alarm and Display

When the transmitter voltage drops below 4.3 volts, "Warning Low Battery" will flash and an alarm sound. If you are flying when this occurs, land immediately.

Rotate the ROLLER to adjust values or to select options Press the ROLLER to access screens or functions.

Press the BACK button to return to the previous screen

Press the CLEAR button to return the highlighted value to its default setting

Digital Trims

The AH6T 2.4G features advanced digital trims. The Main screen displays the graphic position for the trims. The Throttle Aileron, Elevator and Rudder trim levers, and when activated the right and left trimmers, feature an audible center trim beep and a pause. You can adjust the amount of travel per each trim in the Trim Step Function, located in System Setup Mode.

Note: When The transmitter is turned off, the trims and left and right trimmer values are stored in memory and recalled when the system is turned back on.

Programmable Alarms

The AH6 features programmable alarms that warn of a potential unsafe switch or stick position when the transmitter is turned on. In Acro mode programmable alarms include high throttle, gear and mid and land flap positions while in helicopter mode warnings include high throttle, Stunt 1, Stunt 2, and Hold. If any of these switches or throttle stick position is in an unsafe position when the transmitter is turned on, an alarm will sound, the screen will display the offending switch position and the transmitter will not transmit a signal. Moving the switch or stick to the desired position will clear the warning and normal operation will resume.

AH6R/AH6RS Receiver

Inactive Warning

The AH6T features an inactivity warning that warns if the transmitter is left on preventing draining the batteries. If the transmitter is left on and no input is given to the sticks of switches for 10 minutes, an alarm will sound and warning screen appear. Moving any stick or switch will clear the alarm. Normal RF modulation continues throughout the alarm maintaining the RF link.

Data Error Warning

If the transmitter shutdown unexpected, flash data will be damage, reboot the transmitter will display the warning as below and it will automatically repair.

AH6R Receiver (JR Connect Port)

NOTICE: Please choose the corresponding receiver according to different cable

Specifications:

Voltage Range : DC4.8-6V Current : <=150mA Modulation : GFSK Wireless Operation Mode : FHSS Frequency Channel : 2406MHz -- 2476MHz Band Resolution : 1Mhz Baud Rate : 250Khz Frame Rate : 11ms CE, FCC Cert.

AH6SR Receiver (JST 1.5mm Connect Port)

Receiver Installation

In gas and glow aircraft install the main receiver by wrapping it in protective foam and fastening it in place using rubber bands or hook and loop strap. In electric airplanes or helicopters, you can use thick double-sided foam tape to fasten the main receiver in place. Mount the remote in a slightly different location from the primary receiver. This gives tremendous improvements in path diversity. Essentially, each receiver sees a different RF environment and this is key to maintaining a solid RF link. This is especially the case in aircraft with substantial conductive materials (e.g., larger gas engines, carbon fiber, pipes etc), which can weaken the signal. Receiver antenna as far as possible away from power lines. Ideally perpendicular to each antenna.

Power System Requirements

Onboard power systems must provide adequate power, without interruption, to the receiver even when the system is fully loaded (servos at maximum flight loads). Inadequate power systems are a primary cause of in-flight failures. Some components that affect the ability to properly deliver adequate power include: the selected receiver battery pack (number of cells, capacity, cell type, state of charge), switch harness, battery leads and, if used, the regulator and power bus. The AH6R/AH6RS minimum operational voltage is 3.5-volts. Test the system per the following guidelines to a minimum voltage of

4.8-volts during ground testing. This will compensate for battery discharging or actual flight loads that are greater than ground test loads.

SmartSafe

SmartSafe Failsafe is always active in both hold last command failsafe and in preset failsafe. SmartSafe is a safety feature on the throttle channel only that offers the following benefits:

-SmartSafe sets the throttle to the position it was in during the binding process.

How To Program SmartSafe is automatically set when hold last command failsafe or Preset failsafe is programmed or the system is bound. Note: It’s important to have the throttle stick in the low position to store low throttle during binding.

To Test Confirm the failsafe setting is correct by turning off the transmitter. The throttle should go to the preset low throttle position.

CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is restrained on the ground. If failsafe is not set, your aircraft might advance to mid or full throttle.

Binding

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

1. To bind an AH6R/AH6RS to a AH6T transmitter, insert the bind plug in the BATT/BIND port on the receiver.

2. Power the receiver. The LED on the receiver will be flashing, indicating the receiver is ready to be bound to the transmitter.

3. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the desired failsafe positions (low throttle and neutral control positions).

Press and hold the Blind button(Switch I) while powering

on transmitter.

5. The system will connect within a few seconds. Once connected, the LED on the receiver will go solid indicating connection.

6. Remove the bind plug from the BATT/BND port on the receiver. Power off the transmitter and store the bind plug in a convenient place.

7. After setting up your model, rebind the system so the true low throttle and neutral control surface positions are set. When you bind your transmitter, you are programming the receiver with failsafe defaults. If connection is lost between the transmitter and receiver, the receiver immediately operates in those preprogrammed default positions. Those positions are failsafes. The AH6R AH6RS has three failsafes: SmartSafe Failsafe, Hold Last Command Failsafe, and Preset Failsafe.

Hold Last Command

If you lose connection, all channels except for throttle channel hold last given command and the aircraft continues on its path. So, if you were turning when connection was lost, your aircraft would continue turning.

How To Program

1. Leave the bind plug in the bind port through the entire binding process.

2. Remove bind plug only after receiver connects to transmitter

To Test Confirm the failsafe settings are correct by turning off the transmitter. All channels except for the throttle should hold the last command.

CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is restrained on the ground. If failsafe is not set, your aircraft might advance to mid or full throttle.

Preset Failsafe

If the signal is lost, all channels are driven to their failsafe position set during binding. Preset Failsafe is ideal for sailplanes, as spoliers can be deployed during loss of signal, preventing a flyaway. How To Program

1. Insert the bind plug and power on the receiver.

2. When the receiver LEDs blink indicating bind mode, remove bind plug before binding the transmitter to the receiver.

3. LED lights will continue to blink.

4. Move transmitter’s control sticks and switches to the desired Preset Failsafe positions then turn it on in bind mode.

5. The system should connect in less than 15 seconds.

NOTICE: Failsafe features vary according to receiver, so if using a receiver other than the AH6R AH6RS, consult your receiver’s instructions for the failsafes that apply. Before flight, ALWAYS confirm your binding is good and failsafe is set. To do this, make sure the system is connected, turn your transmitter off. Confirm that low-throttle is active.

CAUTION: Make sure the aircraft is restrained on the ground. If failsafe is not set, your aircraft might advance to mid or full throttle.

System Setup

The AH6T organizes the programming screens in two separate categories: System Setup Mode and Functions Mode. The System Setup Mode contains programming that is generally used when initially setting up a model, and seldom used at the field. System Setup functions includes Model Type, Model Name, Wing Type, (Swashplate Type for Helis) Model Reset, etc. Note: No radio transmission occurs when a System Setup screen is displayed to prevent accidental servo operation. This protects linkages/servo gears from damage when making programming changes. System Setup in Airplane, Helicopter and Multicopter Model type includes the following screens.

Trim Step

The Trim Step function allows servo movement adjustment per click of trim. For example you usually want a large trim step (8 to 10) for a new model. Each click of trim will have a large amount of trim travel so you can quickly adjust an out-of-trim model in flight. Later you can use a finer trim step (1-5) to adjust for precise flight. The Trim Step function allows the trims to be common or independent in each active flight mode. Many helicopter pilots use independent trims because they are automatically active when a flight mode is activated. Important: The trim step function has no effect on the overall trim travel, only the total number of clicks available. If you select a 0 value in trim step, the trim is turned off.

To Access the Trim Step Function

Press and hold the roller while turning on the transmitter. When System Setup appears on the screen, release the roller. The AH6T is now in System Setup Mode.

Highlight the desired Trim value then press the roller to access. Rotate the roller to change to the desired trim value. Press to accept. Repeat to adjust all trim steps.

Model Reset

Model Reset is typically used to clear the programming for a model you will no longer be flying. Model Reset resets the programming for the selected model to factory defaults. No other model memories will be affected. When a model’s memory is reset all programming for that model is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

To Access the Model Reset Function

Press and hold the roller while turning on the transmitter. When System Setup appears on the screen, release the roller. The AH6T is now in System Setup Mode.

Note: You will need to re-bind after moving models

new model that is similar. Many pilots find this to be a good way to provide more accurate baseline programming for the new model. For example Vibe 50 w/120CCPM mixing, gyro and governor programming provides a good base programming for any other nitro powered 120CCPM mixing helicopter. An Extra 300 with dual aileron and elevator servos that is properly programmed with dual flap and dual elevator mixing in Wing Type provides good foundational programming for another aerobatic airplane with the same basic control system. Important: The model memory you are copying to will be over-written by the copied programming, permanently deleting any programming that may already exist.

To Access the Model Copy Function

Press and hold the roller while turning on the transmitter. When System Setup appears on the screen, release the roller. The AH6T is now in System Setup Mode.

D/R & Exponential

Dual Rates and exponentials are available on the aileron, elevator and rudder channels. You can assign them to numerous switches including the flight mode switch.

Dual Rate

Affects the overall travel which in turn affects control response sensitivity equally throughout the range of that channel. Reducing the dual rate reduces the maximum control rate as well as overall sensitivity.

Exponential

Affects the sensitivity around center but has no affect on the overall travel. Positive Exponential reduces control sensitivity around neutral for more precise control but does not affect the maximum control response. Note: Positive and negative exponential values are available. A positive expo value reduces control sensitivity around center. It does not affect maximum travel and is recommended. Negative exponential values increase sensitivity around neutral and is seldom used.

Note Pos: Pos 0 in the center of the screen. Move the switch displayed at the bottom of the screen to one of three positions from 0,1,2. When you make D/R or Expo adjustments, values are assigned and automatically active when the switch is in that position (Pos 0, 1or 2).

Note: The Differential function is only available if Dual Aileron, Flaperon, 2 ailerons 1 flap, 2 ailerons 2 flaps or Elevon is selected in Wing Type an d each aileron servo is controlled by its own channel.

To Access the Differential Screen

Rotate the roller to highlight Differential then press. The following screen appears:

Differential defaults to Inhibit. Press the roller to highlight Inhibit then select one of the following switch positions:

To Select D/R and Expo Values

Confirm that the desired channel and switch position are selected. Rotate the roller to highlight the D/R or Expo value then press to access. When the corresponding channel’s control stick is centered both values are highlighted. If you move the control stick to its endpoint, only one value will be highlighted. This allows the D/R or Expo value in that direction only to change. With the desired value selected, rotate the roller to select.

Differential

The Differential function provides precise adjustments of up/down aileron travel of each aileron (or elevon if Delta wing is activated). Typically, you can use Aileron differential to reduce unwanted yaw characteristics. In aerobatic airplanes adjusting differential provides an axial roll (minimum displacement of yaw during a roll). You can program up to three Differential values and assign them to a switch. Note that positive + and negative – differential is available; however, normally more up aileron travel is required than down aileron.

Highlight the desired differential position/value and press the roller to access.

Rotate the roller to change the value then press the roller. Repeat for all switch positions desired. Positive differential values provide more up than down aileron travel. Negative differential values provide more down than up travel. The differential values screen also allows you to select/change switch positions. Use the roller to highlight SW then rotate to change to the desired switch position or inhibit the function.

Throttle Cut Throttle Curve

The Throttle Cut function allows you to shut off an engine with the Trainer switch, Gear switch or the Right or Left trimmer. When you activate the programmed switch, the throttle channel is driven to it’s preprogrammed value normally off. This effectively kills the engine. Release the programmed throttle cut switch/trimmer, and normal throttle operation resumes.

To Activate Throttle Cut and Assign it to a Switch or Trimmer

Rotate the roller to highlight Throttle Cut then press to access the Throttle Cut screen.

The Throttle Curve function allows throttle output vs. input positions to be adjusted. This is typically used to alter the throttle response to give a linear rate or to adjust the throttle response sensitivity when hovering or torque rolling. You can program a single curve (switch to On) or up to three curves and select them via a programmed switch. The screen displays a graphic 5-point throttle curve on its left side to aid in selecting throttle curve values. An Expo function is available that smoothes out the Throttle curve.

To Program the Throttle Curve Function

With the transmitter on and the main or telemetry screen displayed, press the roller. The Function list displays

Rotate the roller to highlight Throttle Curve then press the roller to access the Throttle Curve screen.

Highlight Inhibit then press the roller to access the switch options. Rotate the roller to the desired switch to cut the throttle (Trainer, Gear, Mix , L trim or R trim) then press the roller to program that switch.

Program a Throttle Cut position. Note that 0%= low throttle, mid trim and negative values are available. To test the Throttle Cut function, activate the programmed switch. Note the throttle servo position or the position of the throttle channel in the servo monitor. The system should drive the servo position to the low throttle position when you activate Throttle Cut.

With the switch listed at the bottom of the screen in the position desired for this curve, rotate the roller to highlight one of the five available throttle curve values (Low, 25%, 50%,75, High). Press the roller to access.

To Activate the Expo Function

Rotate the roller to highlight EXPO then press the roller to access the Throttle Curve Expo function. Select Inh or Act to inhibit or activate the Expo function then press to accept.

Throttle Curve

The AH6T features a 5-point throttle curve. You can assign up to four separate throttle curves. A graph displays at the left side of the screen to aid in adjusting throttle curves. An Expo function is also available that smoothes out the curve.

To Program Throttle Curves

With the transmitter on and the main or telemetry screen displayed, press the roller. The Function list displays.
