MULTInaut IV

channel expansion system

If the seven channels of the ROYALevo 7 are not suffi-
cient, perhaps for a complex multi-function model, the
MULTIPLEX MULTInaut IV channel expansion system
can be used. The ROYALevo is capable of controlling
two MULTInaut IV receiver modules (# 7 5892) which
are available as optional accessories.
Each MULTInaut IV receiver module installed in the
model can control up to four consumer units (max. con-
tinuous load 4 x 4A / 16V) and/or up to four servos in
various modes of operation. One channel is required to
actuate one MULTInaut IV receiver module. If you use
two MULTInaut IV receiver modules a total of 13 chan-
nels are available to you (five proportional channels plus
2 x 4 MULTInaut channels).
Preparation
Move to the menu Servo / Assignment (
and determine which channels (receiver outputs) are to
be used for the control signals of the two MULTInaut IV
receiver modules:
M.naut1 or M.naut2
The receiver modules in the model must be connected
to the corresponding channels.
The MULTInaut system is only available for the
fixed-wing model type!
Activating the MULTInaut mode of operation:
The keypad of the ROYALevo is used to control the
MULTInaut functions (no additional or special switches
have to be installed). Starting from one of the three
status displays, hold the ENTER button held in for
longer than three seconds; this activates the button
groups for MULTInaut use. The screen display is as fol-
lows:
Note:
If the MULTInaut mode of operation is active and the
MULTINAUT display is on the screen, it is not possible to
use the keypad (or the 3D digi-adjustors) to make
changes in any of the menus.
Hold ENTER pressed in again for longer than three sec-
onds to end this mode of operation.
Operating the MULTInaut channels
In each case four buttons (group of buttons) are as-
signed to one MULTInaut channel, and control the con-
sumer units or servos connected to the receiver module.

The effect of one button-press varies according to the
system controlled by the MULTInaut channel. The fol-
lowing alternatives are available:
a. Consumer units to terminals +/-1 to +/-4
The diagram shows where the consumer units
have to be connected.

For switching consumers (e.g. lamps, horns etc.).
Every time you press a button briefly the associ-
ated load is switched from one state to the other:
(OFF ON or ON
16.2.)
e.g. servo 5 = M.naut 1
b. Servo to sockets 1 to 4, no jumper
If the jumpers (bridging plugs) are not connected
to servo sockets 2 and 4, the servo moves from one
end-point to the other every time you press the as-
sociated button.
c. Servo to socket 1 / 3
to servo socket 2 / 4 with jumper
Buttons 1 and 2 control the servo at socket 1; but-
tons 3 and 4 the servo at socket 3. For as long as
the button is held pressed in the servo runs in one
direction until it reaches the end-point. When you
release the button, the servo stops.
The full servo travel is divided into 32 segments,
and takes about four seconds to traverse. One
short button-press triggers a step of about 3°.
Each MULTInaut IV module is supplied with detailed
operating instructions including all the information you
need to install and operate the system, together with a
full Specification.
