PPLICATION
The MULTImate is a programming / adjusting device as well as
a servo tester. It is intended exclusively for modelling purposes.
It is prohibited to use the unit for other purposes, e.g. in full-size
aircraft or for industrial applications.

PECIAL EATURES
•
Programming and set-up device for various MULTIPLEX
receivers, speed controllers, sensors and HiTEC /.
MULTIPLEX digital servos.
•
Integral servo tester with manual and automatic modes,
pulse width meter.
Many RC components can be adjusted and / or programmed
without the use of a receiver or transmitter.
•
Clearly legible, easily understood screen texts with an in-
tuitive menu system; optional German or English language.
•
LCD screen offering 2 x 16 characters and automatic
software-controlled contrast adjustment; clearly legible even
in bright conditions.
•
Switchable backlighting.
•
Ergonomically efficient design:
Symmetrical case layout makes the unit equally easy to use
for left-handed and right-handed persons. Parameters are
selected and activated using a large 3D digi-adjustor (3D =
turn and press), which is easy to operate using the thumb.
•
Update capable: via PC port, PC interface lead and the free
MULTImate Updater software.

5.1 Inserting the rechargeable cells
a) Open the battery compartment on the underside of the case
Locate the plastic tongue marked with an arrow. Press it
in the direction of the arrow, and remove the battery
com-partment cover.
b) Insert four
compartment, taking care to maintain correct polarity
Observe the battery symbols in the battery compartment:
"+" = positive terminal, "-" = negative terminal.
c) Replace the battery compartment cover
Locate the plastic tongue of the battery compartment
cover, and fit it in the slot. Carefully press the cover
down until it snaps securely into place.
5.2 Idle current, long-term storage
The idle current of the MULTImate when switched off is 350
micro-Ampère (0.00035 Amp). Even though this value is
extremely low, we recommend that you remove the cells from
the MULTImate if you know you will not be using the unit for a
period of several weeks or more.
The MULTImate should always be used with rechargeable cells
rather than dry cells, as they have to be able to cope with high
peak currents - especially when digital servos are connected to
the device. If the cells in the unit cannot deliver the required
voltage, it will be impossible to address many components (e.g.
the power-on threshold of the MULTIPLEX RX-12-SYNTH DS
IPD receiver is 4.7 Volts). The voltage of the cells in the MULTI-
mate may also be insufficient for some receivers, especially if
the receiver is installed in the model and many servos are
connected to it. In this situation the alternative solution is to use
the receiver battery as the power supply. In this case the
MULTImate detects the receiver battery, and does not switch its
internal power supply on.

6.1 Compatibility
Part B of these Operating Instructions includes a list of devices
which can be programmed or adjusted using the MULTImate.
The list of software features and device types which can be con-
nected is constantly updated by means of software updates
( 8.).

6.2 Connecting devices

See Part B of these Operating Instructions.
! When connecting receivers, speed controllers or servos
etc. to the MULTImate, take care to insert the connector
the right way round:
