Spektrum AR7100 9
EN
Installation
• Mount the Receiver unit in the position recommended by the helicopter
manufacturer. Foam or thick double-sided tape is recommended to
isolate the receiver from vibration.
• Mount the switch and insert the switch plug into the port in the main
unit marked SWITCH. Note: The AR7100/AR7100R uses a specifically
designed switch. Conventionally wired switches are not compatible with
the AR7100.
• Using the battery capacity guidelines select the battery system that best
fits your application and install the battery in your heli. Connect the
battery to the receiver’s EC3 connector. Spektrum batteries are pre-wired
with an EC3 connector and plug directly in. If using another brand of
battery it will be necessary to solder EC3 connectors to the battery
leads.
• Using double-sided foam tape and tie wrap, mount a minimum of 1 and
up to 2 remote receivers in your aircraft and plug them into the receiver
ports. NOTE: It’s necessary that one receiver be plugged into port B or
R in order to operate. The receiver should be mounted at least 2” away
from the main receiver with the antennas perpendicular.
• If using the RevLimit Limiter (AR7100R only) mount the rpm sensor and
bracket to the backplate under two backplate screws of your engine as
shown.
