High-quality 5-channel / 7-channel receivers assembled
using the latest SMT methods, exploiting MULTIPLEX
2.4 GHz M-LINK technology.
Supplementary signal pre-amplification:
For maximum sensitivity and great range.
In-line connectors arranged on the front and back:
Ultra-compact dimensions: suitable for models with very little
internal space.
HOLD / FAIL-SAFE function.
Integral SET button and LED:
For binding, FAIL-SAFE programming, RESET and
displaying operating status information.
Telemetry / feedback channel capability:
Receiver battery voltage and connection quality
= standard features.
Integral sensor interface for connecting external sensor
modules via MSB (MULTIPLEX Sensor Bus).
Prepared for two-receiver operation:
Diversity lead (# 8 5070) required.
Prepared for serial servo output:
Servo outputs as sum signal – SRXL-MULTIPLEX.
The receiver's first twelve channels are carried by a three-
cord lead (# 8 5070) via the receiver's B/D socket, e.g. for
power supply / servo management systems, or for flybarless
systems in model helicopters.
Prepared for selecting one sensor address as "priority
address":
The selected sensor value is updated at a faster rate than all
the other sensor values.

PPLICATIONS
The RX-5 M-LINK and RX-7 M-LINK 2.4 GHz receivers (abbre-
viated to RX-5/7 M-LINK in this document) are radio control
receivers intended exclusively for use in model sport. It is
prohibited to employ them for other purposes such as full-size
(people-carrying) vehicles or industrial installations.
Typical applications for RX-5 M-LINK and RX-7 M-LINK re-
ceivers:
Gliders and electric gliders up to about 2.50 m wingspan
Small to medium-sized RC helicopters with rotor diameters
up to about 1 m
Model aircraft with electric and I.C. power systems and
wingspans up to about 1.60 m
RC model cars
RC model boats

OMPATIBILITY
RX-5/7 M-LINK 2.4 GHz receivers can only be operated in con-
junction with transmitters which utilise MULTIPLEX M-LINK
transmission technology.
As of April 2011 these are:
ROYALpro 7, 9 and 16 M-LINK.
ROYALevo or pro 7, 9 and 12 with firmware version V3.xx
and the HFM4 M-LINK 2.4 GHz RF module*.
PROFImc 3010, 3030 and 4000 with the HFM3 M-LINK
2.4 GHz RF module*.
COCKPIT SX M-LINK.
MULTIPLEX transmitters with the HFMx M-LINK 2.4 GHz
RF module.
Graupner/JR transmitters with any of the following 2.4 GHz
RF modules: HFMG1 M-LINK, HFMG2 M-LINK or HFMG3
M-LINK.
! * Note:
Unless stated otherwise, when this document refers to the
transmitter types ROYALevo, ROYALpro, and PROFImc 3010,
3030 and 4000, the terms refer to the 2.4 GHz M-LINK versions.

RX-5/7-DR M-LINK receivers work within a broad range of vol-
tages from 3.5 V ... 9.0 V, i.e. they can be used with receiver
batteries consisting of four to six NiXX cells or 2S LiPo / 2S LiIo
(LiXX).
