Multiplex RX-5 M-LINK Manual De Instrucciones página 12

! Note: if you intend to use a five-cell or six-cell NiXX battery,
or a 2S LiPo or 2S LiIo pack, it is essential to check that all the
servos, gyros and other components connected to the system
are approved for use with this higher operating voltage.
! Note: ensure that the power supply is adequate
A power supply system in good condition and of adequate capa-
city for the specific application plays an indispensable role in the
safe operation of any model:
Use only high-quality receiver batteries of adequate capacity.
Balance and maintain them carefully, and charge them fully.
Ensure that all cables are of adequate conductor cross-
section. Keep all wiring as short as possible, and use the
absolute minimum of plug / socket connections.
Use high-quality switch harnesses exclusively.
Brief collapses in the power supply voltage (lasting a few
milli-seconds) have no adverse effect on the receiver. Longer
voltage collapses to below 3.5 V may cause a receiver reset,
resulting in a brief interruption in reception. This may be due
to a receiver battery which is almost flat, too weak or
defective, cables of inadequate cross-section, poor-quality
connectors or an overloaded or defective BEC system.

ECEIVER ONNECTIONS
This receiver employs the UNI connector system, which is com-
patible with the connector systems used by most radio control
manufacturers (e.g. HiTEC, robbe/Futaba, Graupner/JR).
The receiver sockets are marked as follows:
Servo sockets, channels 1, 2, 3 ... 5 (... 7).
1, 2, 3 ... 5
(... 7)
Alternatively: receiver battery socket.
In the case of the RX-5 M-LINK:
Receiver battery socket
(can also be connected to servo sockets 1 ... 5).
B
Duplicated for extra security: twice the conductor
cross-section, twice the number of contacts.
Receiver battery socket
(can also be connected to servo sockets 1 ... 5
(... 7)).
Duplicated for extra security: twice the conductor
B/D
cross-section, twice the number of contacts.
Socket for PC or Diversity lead, for the serial
servo output lead (SRXL-MULTIPLEX), and for
the MULTImate.
S Socket for external sensor module.
! When connecting the receiver battery, servos, speed
controllers, sensors ... it is essential to insert the connector
the correct way round. With other makes of component
always check the pin assignment (see symbols on the
receiver)!

8.2 The functions of the SET button
Pressing the SET button on the top of the receiver when
switching on initiates the binding process (
In receive mode, the SET button can be used to trigger two addi-
tional functions. The function selected depends on the length of
the button-press:
1. Save error counter or FAIL-SAFE settings
Press the SET button for 0.5 to 1 second (
2. RESET receiver to factory default settings
Press the SET button for longer than ten seconds (
While the SET button is pressed, the LED indicates the length of
the button-press with time markers:

8.3 Binding
The receiver must be set up to match the transmitter before the
system can work. This process is known as "binding".
! Note:
The signal output to the servo sockets is switched off during the
binding procedure. This means that the servos are "soft", and do
not move, while the motor connected to a modern electronic
speed controller remains OFF due to the lack of a signal. Never-
theless, it is important to secure the model and keep well clear
of the power system.
The binding process is necessary in the following cases:
The first time the receiver is used (
After a receiver RESET (
After the transmitter setting for "Fast Response" has been
changed. For more information on this please refer to the
operating instructions supplied with your M-LINK transmitter
or M-LINK RF module.
