ECEIVER CONNECTIONS
The RX RX-5 SYNTH IPD CAR receiver is fitted with universal
UNI sockets which are compatible with the plugs used by most
radio control manufacturers (HiTEC, robbe / Futaba, Graupner /
JR, ...).

OWER UPPLY
The RX-5 SYNTH IPD CAR receiver works over a broad voltage
range of 3.5 – 7.5 V ( 4–5 cell NiCd or NiMH receiver battery).
The receiver battery can be connected to the socket marked
"B/D", or to any vacant servo socket "1" ... "5".
! Check the maximum permissible operating voltage of all
devices connected to
For example, some servos are only approved for use with 4 cells
(4.8 V).
! Note:
A power supply (battery system) in good condition and of ade-
quate capacity for the purpose is indispensable for the safe
operation of any model:
•
Use only high-quality receiver batteries of adequate capacity.
The cells should be balanced, and the pack properly main-
tained and charged.
•
Cables should be of adequate conductor cross-section. Keep
all leads as short as possible, and avoid unnecessary con-
nectors.
•
Use high-quality switch harnesses exclusively.
•
If the system voltage falls below 3.5 V the receiving system
may fail to work properly. Such voltage collapses may occur
due to flat, poor-quality or defective receiver batteries, or
from overloading or faults in the BEC system.

SING THE RECEIVER
The RX-5 SYNTH IPD CAR receiver is fitted with one LED and
one button (SET). These are used as follows:
•
To set the RF channel
•
To activate the FAIL-SAFE function and set the FAIL-SAFE
positions
•
To switch off the IPD filter (e.g. for range checks)
•
To display the error count
•
To reset the receiver to the factory default settings (RESET)
The various operational states are indicated by the LED. The
following section describes the receiver settings and corre-
sponding LED CODES.

INDICATORS

WITCHING ON
If you have already set the receiver to an RF channel, the LED
flashes after you switch it on:
LED Code 3
( IPD filter active
If the receiver picks up an invalid signal, or no signal at all, when
it is switched on, the LED glows constantly until a valid signal is
received:
LED Code 1
LED ON
If you have not yet set an RF channel (new receiver, or after a
RESET), the RF channel search commences automatically. The
LED flashes during the RF channel search:

LED Code 2
( Setting the RF channel
Note:
The receiver checks the operating voltage: the value must be
above 4.5 V immediately after it is switched on. If not, the re-
ceiver will not work until the voltage rises to a value above 4.8 V.
If this should happen, the LED lights up briefly, then stays off
until an operating voltage of more than 4.8 V is present:

ETTING THE
With the RX-5 SYNTH IPD CAR receiver the RF channel is set
by means of an RF channel search, during which the receiver
searches for the most powerful transmitter on the band. For this
reason it is essential that your transmitter, set to the desired RF
channel, should be in the immediate vicinity of the model (re-
ceiver) during the RF channel search. During the RF channel
search keep the receiver a reasonable distance (> approx. 3 m)
from other transmitters which are switched on.
Sequence
1. Switch on the transmitter, already set to the desired RF
channel, Hold the receiver button pressed in, Switch the re-
ceiver on, Release the button.
commences; the LED flashes:
LED Code 2
Note:
The RF channel search generally takes about 2 - 4 seconds.
If the process takes significantly longer, this indicates that no
clear transmitter signal is present. Check that your transmit-
ter is switched on, and that no other transmitter is in the im-
mediate vicinity. Repeat Step 1.
2. The LED glows continuously when a transmitter is located:
LED Code 1
3. Now move one transmitter stick four times steadily to the
same end-point. The LED should go OFF in time with the
stick movement. This is your means of checking that the re-
ceiver has locked onto the correct RF channel. The process
is complete when the LED flashes the confirmation signal:
LED Code 5
4. The receiver must now be switched off, then on again
( 10. ); it will now be operating on the set RF channel.
The receiver stores the set RF channel permanently until either
you set a new RF channel, or RESET the receiver to the factory
default settings (
