Transmitter description - Face-side connections
The so-called "DATA jack" is located at the right of
this group of connector sockets.
This jack is intended for connection of the optional
Smart-Box, No. 33700.
Details about the Smart-Box can be found with the
given product in the Graupner RC main catalog or in
Internet at www.graupner.de.
However, the Data socket can also be used to con-
nect external RF modules made by other manufactur-
ers; see “EXT.” and “SP.” in the “Module” section of the
“Basic model settings” menu on pages 86 and 96.
The operation of a Smart-Box or a Bluetooth
module, see below, is generally not possible
in the “SP mode”.
Firmware version V1102 or higher
From fi rmware version V1102 to the Data jack can
be connected now not only the Smart-Box or alter-
natively an external RF module, but also the external
Bluetooth module of MZ transmitter, No. 8351 will
be operated. For details on switching between the
respective operating modes of the socket, see “Data
sel.” Description of the menu “General. Settings“on
page 280.

CAUTION:
For direct connection of your transmitter to a
PC or a laptop via cable (DSC-cable) and / or
PC interface for your simulator it may
possibly result in destruction of the transmitter by
electrostatic discharge! This type of connection may
therefore only be used if you are, for example, using
a grounding strap against electrostatic discharge
protection (commercially available in electronic
shops) during the simulator operation. Therefore
Graupner strongly recommends to use only
simulators with wireless transmission technology.
