If the receiver is permanently installed in the model, and the
button and LED on the receiver are not accessible, the unit can
be controlled using the RX-SYNTH set-up lead which is
available as an optional accessory. Connect the lead to the
socket marked "B/D", and install it in an easily accessible
location on the model. The RX-SYNTH set-up lead can be
extended if necessary using a standard UNI extension lead (e.g.
# 8 5031).
The RX-SYNTH set-up lead features a 3-pin connector marked
"PC". This can be used to connect the receiver to a PC (
Note:
When you press the button on the RX-SYNTH set-up lead, the
LED on the set-up lead does not light up!

All MULTIPLEX RX-SYNTH IPD receivers incorporate micro-
controllers (FLASH technology). This means that it is possible to
connect the receiver to a PC or notebook using the PC
connecting lead (# 8 5150).
You can download the RX-SYNTH DataManager PC program
from the MULTIPLEX website (www.multiplex-rc.de). This
program opens up more possible functions for the RX-SYNTH
receiver:
•
Expanded receiver options, such as: freely variable HOLD
and FAIL-SAFE time, activate and adjust HOLD / FAIL-SAFE
channel by channel, set RF channel manually, ...
•
Software update
•
Scanner function The channels in use on the corresponding
frequency band are displayed in graphic form. With alarm
and logbook function.
•
Read out error counter / memory The error count for signal
errors, field strength errors and operating voltage can be
read out separately.

AUTOMATIC SERVO CHANNEL COUNT DETECT
During the first 4 seconds after switching on (
ceiver detects the number of servo channels transmitted by the
transmitter (e.g. PPM 5, PPM 7) and stores this data. The num-
ber of servo channels received from the transmitter is a criterion
required by the IPD filter in order to detect the transmission
errors when the system is operating.
! Note: every time you change the number of servo chan-
nels or the transmitter's operating mode (or when you use a
different transmitter), the receiver must be switched off,
then on again.
You will also need to re-set the FAIL-SAFE settings (
The servo channel count or the transmitter operating mode are
changed on the MULTIPLEX ROYAL evo transmitter, for
example, by altering the servo assignment, e.g. PPM 6, 7, 8, 9
or 12.

NSTALLATION NOTES
•
Receivers contain components which are sensitive to vibra-
tion. You should therefore pack your receiver loosely in foam
or similar material to protect it from vibration - especially with
internal combustion motors.
•
Install the receiver at least 150 mm away from electric mo-
tors, petrol engine ignition systems and other electronic
components. The receiver aerial should not run immediately
adjacent to these components.

Electric motors must be effectively suppressed (e.g. using
our suppressor set, # 8 5020). This does not apply to brush-
less motors.
•
Do not alter the length of the aerial unless it is absolutely
unavoidable.
If the aerial cannot be accommodated in accordance with the
information below, it can be cut down to a length of 350 mm.
In this case it is important to carry out a range check before
running the model.
•
Route the aerial out of the model and extend it in as straight
a line as possible. Do not leave it coiled up.

•
Do not deploy the receiver aerial parallel to servo leads,
high-current cables or electrically conductive components
(e.g. pushrods).
•
Do not deploy the aerial inside or over model components
which are skinned or reinforced with conductive materials
(e.g. carbon fibre, metallic paints etc.), as they have a shield-
ing effect.

ARRYING OUT A
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;
•
you are using radio control system components which were
involved in a previous hard landing or crash;
•
irregularities or problems have arisen during previous flights.
Important:
•
Always carry out the range check with the help of a friend
who can hold and watch the model (vehicles and boats on
their running surface).
•
For a range check install the telescopic transmitter aerial but
leave it completely collapsed.
Don't use a helical stub aerial for range-checking!
•
No other transmitters should be switched on during the range
check.
The range of the RX-5 SYNTH IPD CAR
aerial collapsed down to a single segment should be at least 40
m. We recommend that you disable the IPD filter for range-
checking, so that interference and irregularities are not sup-
pressed. You have reached the range limit when the servos
begin to jitter and move uncontrollably, and no longer respond
clearly to control commands. If your transmitter has an auto-
matic servo test program, we recommend that you set this up for
one control function, e.g. rudder, for the range check, as this
guarantees even servo movement, and makes it easier to see
when the receiver no longer responds correctly to control com-

mands.
Important:
Carry out the initial range check with the motor or engine
stopped. Repeat the check with the power system operating (all
throttle settings): the range should not be significantly reduced. If
it is much lower, seek out and eliminate the cause of the
problem (motor interference, arrangement of the receiving
system components and power supply, vibration, etc.).
