Hobbico TACTIC TR325 - User Manual

TR325
TM
Tactic’s TR325 3 channel receiver is
intended for use with R/C surface vehicles
including cars, trucks, buggies, and boats.
Its SLT protocol makes it compatible with all Tactic brand 2.4GHz surface
transmitters, and other brand radios that include the SLT protocol.
OVERVIEW AND INSTALLATION
Refer to the instructions with the model to determine the optimum position for installing the receiver. In some models
it’s recommended to fi rst wrap the receiver in protective foam, and then use hook-and-loop material or straps to mount
it inside model. Other applications might recommend a water-tight compartment.
IMPORTANT! For optimum performance pay close attention to how the receiver is oriented inside the model.
It’s best to keep the receiver unobstructed from the outside of the model as much as possible.
LINK THE RECEIVER TO THE TACTIC/SLT COMPATIBLE TRANSMITTER
Linking the TR325 receiver to the Tactic / SLT compatible transmitter ensures sole communication between the two,
and prevents other transmitters from being able to control the receiver.
1. Turn on the Tx.
2. Apply power to the Rx.
3. If the Rx LED fl ashes once and then stays on, the
Rx is already linked to the Tx and you can skip to
the next section. Otherwise, insert a small diameter
screwdriver through the hole marked “LINK” and
press the pushbutton until the Rx LED glows red
and then turns off after about one second.
4. Release the “LINK” button.
5. If the linking is successful, the Rx LED will fl ash once
and then remain ON.
6. Test for proper Tx/Rx functionality before use. If the
radio doesn’t appear to have become properly bound,
repeat steps 1–5 above.
SYSTEM AND RANGE CHECK
Check the instruction manual included with the Tactic radio for the proper steps to perform a system check before operation.
WARNING! Always make sure that power is applied to the transmitter BEFORE applying power to the
receiver and servos, and the Tx throttle control is at minimum (idle) position. Failure to do so could result
in the model becoming uncontrollable and cause a safety hazard. Always perform a signal range check to ensure a
good link exists between the transmitter and receiver. Once operation is complete, immediately disconnect the power
from the model before removing power from the transmitter.
Refer to the instruction manual with the mating transmitter to determine the best method for performing a range
check. Some transmitters include a custom range checking function that can be accomplished at a short distance with
reduced power. Other transmitters may require a traditional range check be performed. Contact Tactic for questions
or concerns about range checking of this receiver.
FCC STATEMENT
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions.
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

3. Usage Features
4. Maintenance Features

The Tactic TR325 is a 2.4GHz 3-channel micro receiver designed for use with R/C surface vehicles, including cars, trucks, buggies, and boats. Its SLT protocol ensures compatibility with all Tactic brand 2.4GHz surface transmitters, as well as other brand radios that incorporate the SLT protocol.

Function Description:

The primary function of the TR325 receiver is to establish and maintain a secure communication link with a compatible transmitter, enabling control of an R/C vehicle. The linking process ensures that the receiver responds only to its paired transmitter, preventing interference from other radio signals. Once linked, the receiver translates the transmitter's commands into actions for the vehicle's servos and other components. The device supports three channels, allowing for control of multiple functions within the R/C model.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Channels: 3
• Receiving Frequencies: 2.403 – 2.480GHz
• Modulation: SLT 2.4GHz FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum)
• Input Power Requirement: 4.0 – 6.0 volts
• Compatibility: Tactic 2.4GHz or SLT 2.4GHz transmitters
• Range: 600 feet (185 meters)
• Dimensions: 1.4 x 0.75 x 0.55 inches (35 x 19 x 14 mm)
• Weight: 0.18 ounces (5.2 grams)
• Item Number: TACL0325

Usage Features:

• Installation: The receiver should be installed in an optimum position within the model, as determined by the model's instructions. Recommendations include wrapping the receiver in protective foam and securing it with hook-and-loop material or straps. For some applications, a water-tight compartment may be recommended. It is crucial to ensure the receiver is oriented correctly and remains unobstructed for optimal performance.
• Linking Procedure:
  1. Turn on the transmitter (Tx).
  2. Apply power to the receiver (Rx).
  3. If the Rx LED flashes once and then stays on, the Rx is already linked. Otherwise, insert a small diameter screwdriver through the "LINK" hole and press the pushbutton until the Rx LED glows red and then turns off after about one second.
  4. Release the "LINK" button.
  5. If linking is successful, the Rx LED will flash once and then remain ON.
  6. Test for proper Tx/Rx functionality before use. If the radio does not appear to be properly bound, repeat steps 1-5.
• System and Range Check: A system check and range check are essential before operation. Always ensure power is applied to the transmitter BEFORE applying power to the receiver and servos, and that the transmitter throttle control is at its minimum (idle) position. Failure to follow this sequence could lead to an uncontrollable model and a safety hazard. The instruction manual of the mating transmitter should be consulted for the best method to perform a range check, which may involve a custom range checking function at a short distance with reduced power or a traditional range check.
• Safety Warning: The device is suitable only for individuals 14 years and older and is not a toy. It may contain small parts, posing a choking hazard for children under 3 years. The packaging should be retained for future reference.
