controller, etc. please ensure that the connectors are the

right way round, and that they feature compatible pin

assignment - this applies in particular to non-MPX pro-

ducts (see symbol on receiver):

8.2 Binding

Before it can be used, the receiver must be linked to the trans-

mitter using the process 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:

x The first time the receiver is used (Î 8.2.1).

x After a receiver RESET (Î 8.5).

x If you change the “Fast Response” setting at the transmitter.

Please read the appropriate section in the instructions

supplied with your M-LINK transmitter or M-LINK RF module.

x If you change the setting at the transmitter which defines the

transmitted frequency range. For more information on this

matter, please refer to the operating instructions supplied

with your M-LINK transmitter or M-LINK RF module (“France

mode”).

x If the receiver is to be operated in conjunction with a different

M-LINK transmitter.

8.2.1 Sequence of the binding procedure

1. The first step is always to set the transmitter and receiver to

Binding mode:

a. Place the transmitter very close to the receiver aerial.

b. Switch the transmitter ON in binding mode

(see the operating instructions supplied with your M-LINK

transmitter or M-LINK RF module).

c. Switch the RX-6 light M-LINK receiver ON in Binding

mode:

x Locate the SET button on the top of the receiver, and

hold it pressed in with a pointed instrument.

x Switch the receiver ON, or connect the battery:

 The binding procedure runs, the LED on the

receiver flashes at a high rate

(LED code 2 Î 8.1).

x Now release the SET button.

2. Once the transmitter and receiver are bound, both units

switch automatically

to normal operation (Î 8.3):

 The LED on the receiver flashes slowly

(LED code 3 Î 8.1).

! Note: in most cases the binding process only takes a few

seconds.

8.2.2 Binding: locating and correcting faults

Fault:

During the binding process the receiver LED continues to flash

at a high rate after several seconds.

Cause:

No M-LINK signal of adequate strength detected.

Remedy:

x Reduce the distance between your transmitter and the recei-

ver aerial.

x Ensure that your transmitter is switched on in binding mode.

x Repeat the binding procedure.

8.3 Switching the receiver ON and OFF in normal

mode

8.3.1 Sequence when switching ON and OFF

This is the procedure for switching the M-LINK

RC system ON:

1. Switch the transmitter ON.

2. Switch the receiver ON.

The receiver LED flashes slowly and evenly

(LED code 3 Î

8.1



An M-LINK signal is being picked up:

the RC system is ready for use.

This is the procedure for switching the RC system OFF:

1. Switch the receiver OFF.

2. Only now switch the transmitter OFF.

8.3.2 Locating and correcting faults when switching ON:

The receiver LED lights up constantly when switched on (LED

code 1 Î 8.1), but does not flash.

Cause:

No M-LINK signal detected.

Remedy:

x Is the transmitter switched on?

x Is the transmitter generating an M-LINK signal?

x Are the transmitter and receiver bound to each other?

x Have you carried out a receiver RESET (Î 8.5, Î 8.2)?

x Have you made changes to the “Fast Response” setting

(Î 8.2) or “France mode” (Î 8.2)?

Fault:

The receiver LED remains off when the unit is switched on

(LED Code 0 Î 8.1).

Cause:

The operating voltage (battery voltage) is too low.

Remedy:

x Charge the receiver battery or the drive / flight battery.

8.4 HOLD and FAIL-SAFE

If the receiver detects invalid data (interference), the last valid

data is sent to the servos in order to bridge the period of signal

loss (HOLD mode).

The effect of the FAIL-SAFE setting is that the servos run to a

previously selected setting if interference should occur, once the

HOLD period (0.75 seconds) has elapsed. FAIL-SAFE mode is

automatically terminated as soon as the receiver picks up valid

signals again.
