Installing The Receiver - ROBBE HFM12-MX Manual De Uso

NOTE:
Since the receiver output assignment of Graupner modules is different
from that of robbe (Futaba) modules, the output assignment must be al-
tered at the receiver in accordance with the following table:

General information regarding 2.4 GHz RC systems
2.4 GHz systems behave differently from previous radio control systems
operating in the 27 - 40 MHz range.
• 2.4 GHz signals are propagated in a straight line, for which reason it is
always necessary to maintain visual contact with the model.
• Major obstacles between the transmitter and the receiver may have a
serious damping or blocking effect on the signal.
• Close to the ground the transmitter signal is damped more severely
than is the case with 27 - 40 MHz systems.
• On foggy days and / or when the ground is wet the effective range
close to the ground may be reduced.
• Effective radio range may be significantly reduced if a model is close to
the ground and an obstacle (person, vehicle, object etc.) passes bet-
ween the transmitter and the receiver.
Range-checking (Power-Down mode)
We recommend that you carry out a range-check every time you operate
a new model for the first time, and every time you use a new receiver. For
the range-check the model should not be left on the ground, but raised
to a height of about 1 - 1.5 m using a plastic or wooden table or box,
cardboard box etc. Never use a metal support (camping table etc.) for
this, and ensure that there are no conductive materials (fences etc.) in the
vicinity.
The HFM12-MX module features a special Power-Down mode for range-
checking.
RANGE-CHECKING:
• Switch the transmitter on and wait until an RF signal is broadcast
(green LED lights up (Hold) or flashes (F/S)).
• Locate the button marked "F/S, Range" on
the HFM12-MX module, and hold it pressed
in to activate Power-Down mode.
• The output power of the RF section is redu-
ced for range-checking for as long as the
button is held pressed in.
• The red LED on the module flashes while this
mode is active. The test can now be carried
out:
• Start by switching the model on, but with the motor stopped.
• Slowly walk away from the model, moving one control surface slowly
but continuously from the transmitter.
• As you walk further away from the model, watch the appropriate con-
trol surface: it should constantly follow the movement of the stick. We
recommend that you ask a friend to help you at this stage by observing
the movement of the control surface.
• Turn the transmitter slightly to left and right while you are walking away,
in order to simulate a different aerial position relative to the model.

• In Power-Down mode you should be able to achieve a range of thirty
to fifty metres (paces).
• If this initial range-check is successful, repeat it with the motor running
(caution: secure the model).
• The range you now achieve should only be slightly reduced (approx.
20%). If the reduction is significantly greater, then the power system is
causing interference to the receiver. Eliminate the problem by che-
cking that all the counter-measures listed below have been implemen-
ted.
• Release the "F/S range" button in order to switch back to normal ope-
ration.
CAUTION:
Never press and hold the "F/S, Range" button while the model is in the
air!
NOTE:
Ensure that the "F/S, Range" button is not pressed or held pressed in
as you switch the transmitter on, as this alters the F/S / Hold Mode sta-
tus. You can prevent this by switching the transmitter on and waiting
until the RF module is active (green LED "ON" or flashing, red LED off).
Receiver binding procedure
When you press the button marked "EASY LINK", the transmitter's indi-
vidual code number (130 million codes) is automatically stored in the
receiver. Once "bound" in this way, the receiver will only respond to the
signals generated by its associated transmitter.
• Place the transmitter and receiver close together (approx. 1 metre).
• Switch the transmitter on.
• Switch the receiver power supply on.
• Locate the Easy Link button (ID Set) on
the receiver and hold it pressed in for at
least one second, then release it again to
"bind" the receiver to the transmitter.
• The receiver LED will glow green if the binding is successful.
This fixed association between the transmitter and the receiver offers the
best possible basis for suppressing interference signals. It is better than
conventional systems, since a digital filter is used to filter out only those
control signals generated by the receiver's own transmitter. The net result
is highly effective suppression of interference and unwanted signals from
other transmitters.
Several receivers can be "bound" to the same module. If you wish to
"bind" the receiver to another module, simply press the EASY LINK but-
ton after switching on.
Caution:
If you wish to use a seven-channel receiver, the channel switch on the
transmitter module must be set to "7CH".
The binding method is the same for all FASST receivers.

The R 6014 FS receiver features a Diversity system with two aerials and
corresponding input stages. The aerial inputs are followed by a "Packet
Screening" stage which checks the input signals for errors and signal
strength, switching lightning-fast to the better input signal without any
transition period. The PRE-VISION software constantly scans the input
signal and carries out error correction if necessary.
Arranging the two aerials at a 90° angle to each other provides a substan-
