SETTING UP YOUR MIXER
Please follow these instructions in exactly the order in which they are written, referring to the Setting Up
diagrams. Remember that this unit is actually a small computer and that there is a regime involved in its
operation. Ignore this and you’ll quickly become frustrated!
The setting up directions assume a few basics:
1) Your transmitter has servo-reverse facility on both the motor and steering channels;
2) The motor control is on the LH stick of the transmitter while the steering is on the RH stick;
3) You have two spare servos to act as guides while you set things up (don’t worry if you don’t, but you’ll then
have to connect the mixer straight to the ESCs and motors for setting up); and
4) Your model has the conventional outward-turning props when viewed from behind the model i.e.
Starboard=Clockwise and Port=Anticlockwise. If your model had inward turning motors then set up the system
exactly as drawn and, when finished, simply reverse the two wires between each motor and its speed controller
so that the motors now run in the opposite direction - easy!
Plug the mixer into the receiver; connect the steering servo to the mixer steering output and switch on. Check
that the servo moves in the right direction on given command to steer the model with the rudder(s). If
necessary, use the reverse switch on the transmitter to change the direction of the servo. Leave this switch
alone for th rest of the set-up procedure.
Plug a spare servo into each of the mixer’s ESC outputs (motors 1 and 2) and switch on. Allow four seconds for
the Autoset function to activate before moving any sticks on the transmitter. Move the throttle and rudder
sticks and check that the servo discs move as in the first three rows of the diagram. You may need to use the
servo reverse switch on the transmitter throttle channel. Now try the commands in the last four rows of the
diagram. You should need only to adjust only the position of the servos on the bench at this stage (i.e. swap
over port and starboard) to effect the necessary changes. When you are happy with the results make a note of
the position of the reverse switches on the transmitter for future reference.
Now disconnect the servos and install the mixer in the model. Connect the Port and Starboard speed controllers
to the corresponding mixer output pins (Motors 1 and 2 - as dictated by the test servos). Connect the motors to
the speed controllers and the speed controllers to the main drive batteries. NB if you are using BEC-equipped
speed controllers then you MUST disable the BEC in all but one of them by removing the Red wire from the
black plug which fits into the mixer. If you are using a separate battery for the recommended) then you must
disable the BEC in ALL of the speed controllers. Switch on the radio. Move the transmitter sticks and check that
the props turn in the correct direction as per the last column on the diagram. If either of the motors runs the
wrong way then simply reverse its connection to the speed controller. (Brushless motors have wires to thethree
ESC; swap over any of these wires to reverse the motor direction). DON’T REVERSE THE CONNECTIONStwo
FROM THE BATTERIES TO THE SPEED CONTROLLERS unless you’re a fan of minor explosions and expensive,
grey smoke............ Adjust the neutral and peak settings of your speed controllers as per the supplier’s manual
if necessary. ACTion Condor ESCs have full Autoset and will take care of any further setting up automatically
each time you power up. Remember that you MUST ALWAYS wait four seconds after switching on before
moving either of the transmitter sticks.
