Multiplex RX-9-DR light M-LINK Instrucciones página 12

• Do not deploy the receiver aerials inside or on model com-
ponents which are laminated or reinforced with electrically
conductive materials (metal foil, carbon fibre, metallic paints
etc.), as they have a shielding effect.
• Do not shorten, extend or repair aerials or aerial feed cables
yourself. Never attempt to replace the aerials yourself!
• Do not deploy the aerials parallel to servo leads, high-current
cables or electrically conductive parts (e.g. pushrods).
• Keep to the recommended installed arrangements (
sketches A - C)!
• High-current cables, e.g. those attached to the speed con-
troller, motor and flight battery, should be kept as short as
possible.
• If you are using a diode-based battery backer, always install a
PeakFilter (# 8 5180).
• Reception quality can be optimised by fitting a special ferrite
ring (# 8 5146) or suppressor filter lead (# 8 5057) in the speed
controller cable. It is also advisable to fit effective suppressors
to conventional (brushed) electric motors (not brushless types)
(e.g. use the suppressor set # 8 5020).

Regular range checks are very important - even when using a
2.4 GHz system - in order to ensure reliable operation of the
radio control system, and to enable you to detect sources of
interference in good time. This applies in particular:
• Before the use of new or changed components, or existing
components in a new or modified arrangement.
• Before re-using radio control system components which were
previously involved in a crash or a hard landing.
• If you have encountered problems on a previous flight.
Important:
• Always ask a second person to help you with your range
check, so that one of you can secure and observe the model.
• If possible, carry out the range check when no other trans-
mitters are operating.
Carrying out the range check:
1. Select "range-check mode" on your transmitter (see the
operating instructions supplied with the transmitter or RF
module).
There must be visual contact between the transmitter and
receiver aerials (i.e. the model) during the range check.
Keep the transmitter and the model about one metre above
ground during the range check.
2. When checked with reduced transmitter power, the range of the
RX-9-DR light M-LINK receiver must be 100 metres. You have
reached the range limit when the servos start to move jerkily.
If your transmitter features an automatic servo test facility,
we recommend that you activate it for one control function
(e.g. rudder). This sets up a steady movement of the servo,
and enables you to detect the limit of range clearly.
Important:
Carry out the first range check with the motor switched off. Turn
the model into all attitudes, and attempt to optimise reception by
changing the position of the two aerials.
For the second range check, run the motor at varying speeds
and check that the effective range is not significantly reduced. If
there is a marked reduction, locate and eliminate the cause of
the interference (caused by the motor, the arrangement of the
receiving system and power supply, vibration, etc.).

Operating Instructions for the
RX-9-DR light M-LINK 2.4 GHz receiver
12. E
The standard aerial feed cables attached to the RX-9-DR light
M-LINK receiver are long enough for most applications.
If you require longer or shorter aerial feed cables, please contact
the MULTIPLEX Service Department or any MULTIPLEX Ser-
vice Centre, as they stock cables of different lengths, and will
gladly quote an individual price for modifying your receiver to
professional standards.
16.,
! Caution: never attempt to exchange the aerials yourself!
Changing the aerials to a professional standard requires
special tools as well as appropriate expertise. Ignoring this
warning may have an adverse effect on the receiver's
reception quality.
! Caution: if the active part of the aerial (the final 30 mm)
should be damaged, the aerial must be replaced by the
MULTIPLEX Service Department or a MULTIPLEX Service
Centre; the same applies to damaged aerial feed cables.

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
collection point or recycling centre. There the equipment will be
disposed of correctly and at no cost to you.
By returning your unwanted equipment you can make an
important contribution to the protection of the environment!
