7 Transmitter Powering ON/OFF

Switching-on is achieved by pressing and holding the "Power“

button . The green LED turns ON and the initial screen appears on (1)

the LCD display. At this point transmitter is waiting for final

confirmation – press the F5 (Yes) button . After confirmation, the (2)

main screen is displayed and the transmitter is ready. The power-on

status of the DC/DS transmitter is indicated by the lit green LED.

The transmitter is switched-off by pressing the "Power“ main

button. Before complete power-down is achieved you will be asked

for additional confirmation. In case of an emergency, a fast turn-off

can be achieved by simultaneously pressing and holding the

"Power“ and "esc“ buttons. NEVER use this alternative during

normal working conditions.

* If you do not confirm powering-on witinin a certain time limit, the

transmitter will turn off automatically. In the DC/DS transmitter

setup you may disable the confirmation by changing in the setup

menu "Main menu->System-> Configuration->Fast switch-on“.

If you want to find out the battery status on a switched-off

transmitter just push the button "Power“ and the initial screen

with the battery status will appear. If you do not confirm

turning-on, the transmitter will shut down automatically.

During the charging process this function is always activated.

Advice:

7.1 Transmitter Powering-ON

We recommend that you leave the transmitter with the switch-

on confirmation enabled, as this function prevents accidental

turning-on and discharging of the transmitter battery.

Advice:

7.2 Transmitter Turning-OFF

7.3 Transmitter Restart

In case of erratic behavior we recommend that you restart the DC/DS

to reboot the operation system.

1. Standard switch-OFF and ON with main „Power“ button.

2. If necessary, use the Emergency Switch-OFF by simultaneously

pressing and holding the „Power“ and „esc“ buttons.

3. Disconnect and reconnect the transmitter battery connector.

[ Remove the screws that secure the radio back cover. Next, remove a)

the radio back cover, Disconnect the transmitter battery connector, b) c)

Press the "Power“ button to discharge the internal capacitors, d)

Reconnect the transmitter battery, Reconnect transmitter battery e)

pack and reinstall radio back cover and cover screws, Restart the f)

system. ]

Once your transmitter has been bound with the receiver and you have re-applied power to the receiver, the last setup phase is the tuning of your flight controller channels, see chapter 8.3.5 Setup of receiver outputs. Set the correct subtrims and endpoints, so that the flight controller unit recognizes the channels as valid. 6.
PAGE 12
computer radio control system Before creating a model, make sure that you have setup the correct transmitter mode in "Main menu -> System -> Configuration -> MODE 1-4“. The basic, standardized, assignment of transmitter inputs to flight controls are based upon this selection. First it is necessary to create a model in the transmitter and then bind the DC/DS transmitter with the receiver which will control the given model, see chapter 8.3: “Receiver->Binding”. EN 4.

EN Once your transmitter has been bound with a receiver and has been connected to its power supply, the last step consists of tuning the servo output functions, see chapter 8.3.5: Setup of receiver outputs. To complete this model we just need to configure a free mixer from the throttle function to the motor sound module.

You should use the dual rate function to set your model’s useable control throws. 8.3.5 setup of Receiver Outputs Go to the "Model->Servo Setup“ menu. Use the "F2“ and "F3“ buttons to brows through the receiver outputs (channels). You can scrol through the following servo adjustment items for each channel: „Servo reversing“ – reverses the servo throw direction. Move the stick for your selected channel and observe the direction of the servo movement.

The antennas should be installed so that the wires form a 90° angle relative to each other. 9.1 Description 9.2 Installation 5 3 Whenever possible, you should wrap the receiver in foam and place it as far as possible from sources of interference (servos, electric motors). Arrange the receiver antennas so that their active ends forem a 90° angle and try to put them as far as possible away from each other.

Before the first flight of each flying session or if have any doubts about the transmitter or receiver function, you should always check the range. During the range test the transmitter’s output power is decreased to 10%.
PAGE 17
computer radio control system Each receiver channel can be configured to one of the modes described above. We recommend that you setup "fail safe“ positions for every output, which enables your model to stay in a stable condition. For instance, the elevator and rudder in neutral positions, electric motor switched-off, gas engine idling, spoilers extended. Configuration Method of the receiver failsafe function. 1. Bind receiver with transmitter. See chapter: 9.3 Binding.

Here is the example how to use the Device Explorer to configure an "REX10 EX"receiver: First, the transmitter downloads all settings from the receiver. After that operation is completed you should be able to see the basic configuration of the receiver as shown in the picture a). 9.

Recommended option: „Auto”. PPM Settings - Number of channels – if the output mode selected is either positive or negative PPM, you can set how many channels will show on the output. - PPM/UDI Mode - determines processing and additional logic applied to the PPM and UDI protocols.

The selected value will then appear directly on the servo output without the need to turn off the RF modules which would eventually activate the fail-safe and show the set position. The “Apply” function makes it faster to set your fail- safe positions. • Slope – This slows down the speed of servo movement while the output is moving from the normal position to the fail-safe position.

The Transmitters also come with a standard USB to mini USB cable which is used to connect your transmitter to a PC. The JETI Duplex system is fully compatible with Microsoft Windows XP and higher versions of Windows OS. After connection and confirmation your transmitter will be identified by the PC as another memory drive.

Any repair, installation, or upgrade must be performed with caution and common sense. These will require some basic mechanical skills. 1. The Installed battery pack must be charged from an AC voltage source using only the included wall battery charger. The included adapters work with local utility services, each country might be supplied with a different type of charger.

Do not point the transmitter antenna directly towards your model or a human body. The radiation pattern from the antenna will be shielded and provide poor connection to your model. 11. Never repair, re-install, or exchange the internal memory SD card for other type. 12. Avoid extreme temperatures as they can cause damage to the sensitive internal SD card. 13.
