ONNECTIONS
This receiver employs the UNI connector system, which is com-
patible with the connector systems used by most radio control
manufacturers (e.g. HiTEC, robbe/Futaba, Graupner/JR).
The receiver sockets are marked as follows:
1, 2, 3 ... 6
Servo sockets, channel 1, 2, 3 ... 6
(... 7)

are plugged in correctly, and feature compatible pin assign-

8.2 Binding
The first time the receiver is used it must be "bound" to the
transmitter; this "binding" procedure only has to be carried out
once.
! Note:
The signal output to the servo sockets is switched off during the
binding procedure. This means that the servos are "soft", and do
not move, while the motor connected to a modern electronic
speed controller remains OFF due to the lack of a signal. Never-
theless, it is important to secure the model and keep well clear
of the power system.
The binding process is necessary in the following cases:
•
The first time the receiver is used (
•
After a receiver RESET (
•
If you change the "Fast Response" setting at the transmitter.
Please read the appropriate section in the instructions
supplied with your transmitter or RF module.
•
Changing to operation with limited frequency range due to
national regulations in different countries ("France mode"):
All M-LINK transmitters can be switched to the so-called
France mode, and if you do this the receiver must also be set
to France mode by repeating the binding procedure.
•
If the receiver is to be operated in conjunction with a different
M-LINK transmitter.

8.2.1 Sequence of the binding procedure
1. The first step is always to set the transmitter and receiver to
Binding mode:
a. Place the transmitter and the receiver aerials close to-
gether.
b. Switch the transmitter ON in binding mode.
! Note: please read the operating instructions supplied
with your M-LINK transmitter or RF module for details.
c. Switch the RX-6/7-DR light M-LINK receiver ON in
Binding mode:
•
Locate the SET button on the top of the receiver and
hold it pressed in.
•
Switch the receiver ON, or connect the battery.
•
Now release the SET button (not before):
⇒ The binding procedure runs, the LED on the
receiver flashes at a high rate
(LED code 2
2. Once the transmitter and receiver are bound, both units
switch automatically to standard transmit / receive mode:
⇒ The LED on the receiver flashes slowly
(LED code 3
! Note: in most cases the binding process only takes a few
seconds.
8.2.2 Binding: locating and correcting faults
Fault:
During the binding process the receiver LED continues to flash
at a high rate after several seconds.
Cause:
No M-LINK signal of adequate strength detected.
Remedy:
•
Reduce the distance between your transmitter and the
receiver aerials.
•
Ensure that your transmitter is switched ON in binding mode.
•
Repeat the binding procedure.
8.3 Switching the receiver ON and OFF in normal
mode
8.3.1 Sequence when switching ON and OFF
This is the procedure for switching the RC system ON:
1. Switch the transmitter ON.
2. Switch the receiver ON.
3. The receiver LED flashes slowly and evenly
(LED code 3
8.1):
⇒ An M-LINK signal is being picked up:
the RC system is ready for use.
This is the procedure for switching the RC system OFF:
1. Switch the receiver OFF.
2. Only now switch the transmitter OFF.
8.3.2 Locating and correcting faults when switching ON:
The receiver LED lights up constantly when switched on (LED
code 1
8.1), but does not flash.
Cause:
No M-LINK signal detected.
Remedy:
•
Is the transmitter switched on?
•
Is the transmitter generating an M-LINK signal?
•
Are the transmitter and receiver bound to each other?
•
Have you carried out a receiver RESET (
•
Have you made changes to the "Fast Response" setting
(
8.2)?
