Safety Notes; Operating Instructions - Multiplex SOUFFLEUR Manual De Instrucciones

1. I
NTRODUCTION
Dear customer,
By purchasing the Souffleur you have become the owner of
an extremely flexible, professional tool designed to generate
vario tones and spoken telemetry values in the field of
modelling.
The Souffleur picks up the downlink channel of a telemetry-
capable M-LINK receiver, and requires no cable connec-
tion, and no additional radio link to the transmitter. This
means that the pilot has full freedom of movement, and the
Souffleur places no additional burden on the 2.4 GHz
frequency band.
The Souffleur works in conjunction with all M-LINK radio
control systems, regardless of the basic transmitter you are
using. In the Standard set-up (factory default settings) the
unit can be used with all MULTIPLEX MSB sensors without
requiring any set-up procedure.

Operating instructions

You can exploit the facilities of the Souffleur to the full by
using the free MULTIPLEX
(download from www.multiplexrc.de) and the USB adapter #
8 5149 (not included in the set):

Versatile set-up facilities for automatic voice messages

Adjustment of the Vario tone output

Spoken messages can be controlled from the RC
system transmitter via servo channels (regardless of
the transmitter type; even with non-MPX equipment)

Output of user-defined key words to differentiate bet-
ween telemetry values (e.g. "Receiver voltage")

The unit can store five different configurations

Software update facility for future expansion

Safety notes


Please read right through these operating instructions
before using the unit for the first time.

The Souffleur has been developed and produced to
meet the need for speech output of telemetry values in
Operating Instructions - Souffleur
Launcher PC program
radio-controlled models. No other application is envisaged for
the Souffleur.

The Souffleur converts measured values into speech, and
informs the pilot of the model's status. It does not auto-
matically assess whether values are critical, i.e. it remains the
full responsibility of the pilot or his assistant to interpret the
transmitted data.
3.2. Which type of user are you?
In these instructions we assume that you are using your system
with the Standard set-up, i.e. that the addresses of your M-LINK
receiver and sensors are still at the default settings.
Many features of the device can only be exploited to the full if you
set up your devices individually. For this reason we have specially
indicated those text passages which fall outside the Standard set-
up. If these sections do not apply to you, simply continue reading
at the next paragraph.
 Expert: you are already using your sensors' alarm functions,
but your sensor addresses are still at the default setting.
 Super User: you wish to have full flexibility, and set up your
own sensor addresses and alarms, and also set up the Souffleur
individually using the MULTIPLEX Launcher PC program.

PERATING
4.1. External controls
4.2. Using the unit for the first time
The Souffleur is powered by a 1S LiFe rechargeable battery.
Once you have unpacked the device, you can use it immediately.
Connect the earphone (supplied in the set) to the earphone
socket.
Switch the unit on by holding the On / Off button pressed in for
about three seconds, i.e. until the green LED starts to glow or
flash. To switch the unit off, hold the On / Off button pressed in for
about one second until the green LED goes out.
4.3. Binding
The first essential step is to bind the Souffleur to your RC system
transmitter. Hold the Set button pressed in while you switch the
Souffleur on: the green LED now flashes at a high rate. Initiate
Binding mode on your RC system transmitter, and place it close to
the Souffleur (< 30 cm). As soon as the binding process is
complete, the green LED lights up, and a few seconds later the
