12. MULTI
MATE AND THE
D M
ATA ANAGER
All MULTIPLEX RX-SYNTH M-PCM receivers feature modern
micro-controllers (exploiting FLASH technology). This makes it
possible to connect the receivers to the MULTImate (# 8 2094)
or a PC or laptop using the PC connecting lead (# 8 5149 USB
or # 8 5150 serial).
The RX-SYNTH DataManager PC program is available as a
free download from the MULTIPLEX website (www.multiplex-
rc.de). This program and / or the MULTImate opens up further
possibilities with M-PCM receivers:
Expanded receiver options are available, including freely
variable Hold and Fail-Safe times, activating / disabling Fail-
Safe for separate channels, manual setting of RF channel, ...
Read out error counter / memory
Read out error count, signal errors, field strength errors and
low voltage errors separately.
The RX-SYNTH DataManager also permits the following:
Software updates
Scanner function
Graphic display of all channels in use on the relevant fre-
quency band. Includes Alarm and Logbook function.

NSTALLATION
Receivers are fitted with components which are sensitive to
vibration. For this reason you should always protect your
receiver from vibration - especially in models powered by
internal-combustion engines (e.g. pack the receiver loosely in
foam rubber).
Install the receiver at least 150 mm from electric motors, I.C.
engine ignition units and other electronic components such as
electric motor speed controllers and drive / flight batteries.
Keep the receiver aerial well away from such components.
High-current cables, such as those between the speed
controller, electric motor and flight battery, should be kept as
short as possible.
Brushed electric motors must be effectively suppressed (e.g.
using our suppressor set # 8 5020).
Use a PeakFilter (# 8 5180) if your model is fitted with a
(diode-based) battery backer.
If you are obliged to use servo extension leads longer than 50
cm, use separation filters (e.g. # 8 5035).
Receiver interference caused by speed controllers can often
be reduced by fitting a special ferrite ring (# 8 5146) or sup-
pressor filter lead (# 8 5057).
Wherever possible deploy the receiver aerial completely
outside the model and in a straight line; never coil it up. Do
not deploy it parallel to servo leads, high-current cables or
electrically conductive components (e.g. pushrods). Do not
install the aerial inside model components which are skinned
or reinforced with conductive materials (metal foil, carbon
fibre, metallic paints, ...) due to shielding problems. The aerial
can be extended up to about 1.5 m.
Use a vertical aerial if possible: a whip aerial around 50 cm in
length, projecting vertically or at a slight angle out of the
model, produces better reception than a standard-length
aerial deployed in a single plane (wing, fuselage).
Avoid plug / socket connections in the receiver aerial. If you
have no alternative, we recommend our gold-plated con-
nector system: # 8 5280 (2 mm gold-contact plug) and
# 8 5281 (2 mm gold-contact socket).
Observe our installation recommendations

ARRYING OUT A RANGE CHECK
It is very important to carry out regular range checks to ensure
that the radio control system works reliably. These checks also
allow you to detect problems and sources of interference in good
time. This applies in particular when:
You are using new or altered components, or you have
changed the arrangement of components in the model.
Before you re-use radio control components which have
previously been involved in a crash or a "hard" landing.
If you have previously encountered problems when using the
equipment.
Important:
Always carry out range checks with the help of a second
person who can secure and watch the model.
The range check should always be carried out with the tele-
scopic aerial fitted to the transmitter but collapsed to a length
of one section. Don't use helical stub aerials for range-
checking!
Do not carry out range checks if there are other transmitters
switched on in the vicinity - even if they are on different chan-
nels.
The ground range of RX-7-SYNTH M-PCM, RX-7/9/12-SYNTH
DS M-PCM and RX-9-SYNTH DS M-PCM compact receivers
should be more than 100 metres with the transmitter aerial col-
lapsed to one section. The range limit is defined as the point
where the servos start to run jerkily (not smoothly). We recom-
mend that you activate the automatic servo test for one control
function (e.g. rudder) for range checking. This ensures even,
constant servo movement, and makes it much easier to detect
the range limit.
Important:
Carry out the initial range check with the power system switched
off. Rotate the model to all possible attitudes, and try to optimise
the aerial position in this way.
For the second range check switch the motor on / start the
engine, and check the range at various throttle settings; the
effective distance should not be substantially lower. If there is a
reduction, you must seek out and eliminate the cause of the
interference (interference from the power system, installation /
orientation of the receiving system and battery, vibration, ...).

Electrical equipment marked with the cancelled waste
bin symbol must not be discarded in the standard
household waste; instead it should be taken to a
suitable specialist disposal system.
In the countries of the EU (European Union) electrical
equipment must not be discarded via the normal
domestic refuse system (WEEE - Waste of Electrical and
Electronic Equipment, Directive 2002/96/EG). You can take
unwanted equipment to your nearest local authority waste
