22 Spektrum® DSM2/DSMX receiver
binding
Before using your receiver with MICROBEAST PLUS make sure that the receiver is bound
to the transmitter and that it is sending output data on the servo outputs and/or single-line
port. Please refer to the manual of your radio system to find out how binding procedure
is performed with your specific system. Also check if there is the need to perform special
settings to enable the single-line data output of the receiver in case you intend to use this
output port in combination with MICROBEAST PLUS.
Only in the case of using a single Spektrum® remote DSM2/DSMX satellite receiver di-
rectly connected to MICROBEAST PLUS you must bind the receiver by the aid of MI-
CROBEAST PLUS as there is no other option to enable binding procedure at the receiver.
Please note that it is very important to bind the receiver first before pro-
gramming MICROBEAST PLUS and this step must be performed, even if the
satellite was already in use and already bound to the transmitter earlier (e. g.
in connection with a Spektrum® main receiver unit).
Watch out that the motor can not start accidentally when using the
BEC of your speed controller to power the unit!
When initiating bind sequence you have to set whether you're using a DSMX or DSM2
satellite (the actual selected signal protocol in the transmitter is not relevant!). It is very
important to choose the correct type of satellite receiver here, since an improper
setting may seem to work but can lead to radio interference or total loss of radio
linkage in the subsequent operation!
Insert a Spektrum® “Bind Plug” at the [SYS] port of MICROBEAST PLUS. In case the
power is supplied exclusively at the [SYS] connection, to bind a Spektrum® satellite receiver
the power supply must be provided temporarily through any of the other ports [CH1] -
[CH5]. To bind a DSMX satellite simply switch on the power supply now. The LED on
the receiver and LED H on MICROBEAST PLUS will start to flash. You can bind the
transmitter as usual (for more information refer to the instructions of your radio control
system). To select and bind a DSM2 satellite, hold down the button on MICROBEAST
PLUS while switching on the power supply. Now the receiver‘s LED and LED N (!) on
the MICROBEAST PLUS will flash. Release the button and bind the receiver with your
transmitter. After successful binding procedure the receiver‘s LED will stay solid. LED
H respectively N flash alternately to all other LEDs for 2 seconds, then MICROBEAST
PLUS will enter receiver setup menu automatically as further setup steps may be required
