Failsafe Instructions
The AR7100/AR7100R feature two types of failsafe: SmartSafe
™
and Preset
Failsafe.
SmartSafe
This type of failsafe is recommended for most types of helicopters.
When the transmitter and receiver are turned on the receiver connects
to the transmitter and normal control of all channels occurs. If loss of
signal occurs, SmartSafe drives the throttle servo only to its preset failsafe
position (low throttle) that was set during binding. All other channels hold
their last position. When the signal is regained, the system immediately
(less than 4 ms) regains control.
Preset Failsafe
When the transmitter and receiver are turned on and after the receiver
connects to the transmitter and normal control of all channels occurs,
if loss of signal occurs preset failsafe drives all servos to their preset
failsafe positions. Some pilots prefer this method but normally SmartSafe
is recommended for helicopters. When the signal is regained, the system
immediately (less than 4 ms) regains control.
Programming SmartSafe
During the binding process the bind plug is left in throughout the process
and is removed only after the receiver connects to the transmitter. After the
connection is made, confirmed by operating the servos, the bind plug can
be removed. The receiver is now programmed for SmartSafe.
Programming Preset Failsafe
During the binding process the bind plug is inserted in the bind port,
and then the receiver is powered up. The LEDs in each receiver should
blink, indicating that the receiver is in bind mode. Now before binding
the receiver to the transmitter and with the receiver in bind mode, remove
the bind plug. The LEDs will continue to blink. With the control sticks
and switches in the desired failsafe positions, bind the transmitter to the
receiver by putting the transmitter/module into bind mode. The system
should connect in less than 15 seconds. The receiver is now programmed
for preset failsafe.
Note: Failsafe positions are stored via the stick and switch positions on
the transmitter during binding.
