Expanded receiver programming mode
If you do not press the programming button within the
fi ve-second period, or if you enter an invalid number,
then the LED fl ashes alternately red and green (error
indicator), and no new setting is adopted. You are then
returned to the channel select point for this function.
However, if a new setting is carried out successfully, the
LED fl ashes green / red / orange in rapid succession to
indicate that the change of setting has been adopted.
The actual fail-safe positions for the selected chan-
nels can only be set later, after you have left expand-
ed programming mode; see right-hand page.
Example:
If you are programming a fi xed-wing model aircraft and
wish to set the motor to “position”, whilst leaving all the
other channels to “hold”, set channel 1 to 2 x fl ashing,
and leave all the other channels to 1 x fl ashing.
The only way of quitting the fail-safe channel setting
is to switch the receiver power supply off.
Option 5: Fail-safe setting – “hold time”
(value range: 1 … 5 seconds)
The fail-safe time is the number of seconds in which
no valid control data is received, before the receiver
switches to fail-safe or hold-mode.
When this “hold time” has elapsed, the receiver switches
over to “fail-safe”: the channels programmed to “posi-
tion” take up the prescribed fail-safe position, while the
remaining channels maintain the position last picked up
as valid (“hold”).
After selecting this set-up option (the LED fl ashes green
at a rapid rate – see table in the centre column of page
27) press and hold the programming button until the
LED goes out. The LED now fl ashes green repeatedly,
the number of fl ashes corresponding to the number of
seconds selected. For example, if the default value (2) is
set, the Status LED fl ashes twice.
After the Status LED has fl ashed green to indicate the
current setting, you have a period of fi ve seconds to
enter a new setting. This is accomplished by pressing
the programming button briefl y the appropriate number
of times.
Example:
If you want the fail-safe time to be one second, press
the programming button once briefl y. For three seconds,
press it three times briefl y, etc..
If you do not press the programming button within the
fi ve-second period, or if you enter an invalid number,
then the LED fl ashes alternately red and green (error
indicator), and no new setting is adopted. You are then
returned to the channel select point for this function.
However, if a new setting is carried out successfully, the
LED fl ashes green / red / orange in rapid succession to
indicate that the altered setting has been adopted.
Option 6: Telemetry setting
This option is currently at the development stage.
Quitting expanded programming mode
You can quit expanded programming mode at any time
simply by switching off the receiver power supply.
Defi ning Fail-Safe positions
Switch the transmitter and receiver on “normally”, and
wait until you can control the servos with the sticks.
Press and hold the programming button on the Graup-
ner | iFS receiver until the Status LED goes out. The
indicator now starts to fl ash alternately red and green for
a period of about eight seconds.
Within this time you should move the sticks and other
transmitter controls – those that have already been
defi ned – to the positions which correspond to the servo
settings in the model which you wish to adopt as the
Fail-Safe positions; these settings are then stored in the
receiver when the LED goes out.
Resetting the receiver to the default settings (RE-
SET)
This reset procedure resets all the settings, including the
binding settings. This means that the “binding” proce-
dure must be repeated with this receiver and a Graup-
ner | iFS transmitter module.
To carry out the reset hold the programming button
pressed in while you switch the receiver on. As soon as
the Status LED fl ashes red, you can release the pro-
gramming button.
This completes the reset.
Optional programming adapter: XZ-P1 iFS
Order No. 23300
This adapter, which is available as an optional acces-
sory (see Appendix), is a convenient means of program-
ming all the necessary settings in the iFS RF module
and the iFS receiver using a PC and a wireless link.
To switch the receiver into computer programming
mode, press and hold the programming button while you
switch the receiver on. The Status LED will glow orange.
