Multiplex RX-5 M-LINK Notice D'utilisation page 13

After the transmitter setting for the transmitted frequency
range has been changed. For more information on this
please refer to the operating instructions supplied with your
transmitter or M-LINK RF module ("France mode").
If the receiver is to be operated in conjunction with a different
M-LINK transmitter.
8.3.1 Sequence of the binding procedure
1. The first step is always to set the transmitter and receiver to
Binding mode:
Move the transmitter and the receiver aerial very close to
each other.
Switch the transmitter ON in binding mode.
(see the operating instructions supplied with your M-LINK
transmitter or M-LINK RF module).
Switch the RX-5/7 M-LINK receiver ON in binding mode:
Use a pointed object to press and hold the SET button
on the top of the receiver (
Switch the receiver ON, or connect the battery:
The binding procedure runs, the receiver LED
flashes at high frequency
(LED code 2
Now release the SET button.
! Note: the binding process starts automatically when
the receiver is used for the first time, and after a RESET -
even if you have not pressed the SET button.
2. Once the transmitter and receiver are bound to each other,
both switch automatically to normal operation (
The LED on the receiver flashes slowly
(LED code 3 8.1).
! Note: in most cases the binding process only takes a few
seconds.
8.3.2 Binding: locating and correcting faults
Fault:
During the binding process the receiver LED continues to flash
at a high rate after several seconds.
Cause:
No M-LINK signal of adequate strength detected.
Remedy:
Reduce the distance between your transmitter and the
receiver aerial.
Ensure that your transmitter is switched ON in binding mode.
Repeat the binding procedure.
8.4 Switching the receiver ON and OFF
in normal operations
8.4.1 Sequence of switching ON and OFF
To switch the M-LINK RC system ON, please use this
procedure:
1. Switch the transmitter ON.
2. Switch the receiver ON.
The receiver LED flashes slowly and evenly
(LED code 3
8.1):
An M-LINK signal is being received,
the RC system is ready for use.
To switch the M-LINK RC system OFF, please use this
procedure:
1. Switch the receiver OFF.
2. Now switch the transmitter OFF.

8.4):
8.4.2 Locating and correcting faults when switching ON
Fault:
The receiver LED lights up constantly when switched on (LED
code 1 8.1), but does not flash.
Cause:
No M-LINK signal detected.
Remedy:
Is the transmitter switched on?
Is the transmitter generating an M-LINK signal?
Are the transmitter and receiver bound to each other?
Have you carried out a receiver RESET (
Have you made changes to the setting for "Fast Response"
( 8.3) or "France mode" (
Error:
The receiver LED stays off after switching on
(LED code 0 8.1).
Cause:
The operating voltage (battery voltage) is too low.
Remedy:
Recharge the receiver battery or drive / flight battery.
8.5 HOLD and FAIL-SAFE
If no signal is picked up, or if the received data is corrupt, the
last valid information is passed on to the servos in order to
bridge the signal loss (HOLD mode).
If interference should occur and FAIL-SAFE has been invoked,
the servos (...) run to a previously defined position at the end of
the HOLD period. FAIL-SAFE mode ends as soon as error-free
signals are picked up again.
The factory default setting for the HOLD period is 0.75 seconds.
This period can be adjusted to meet personal requirements
using the MULTImate (
Launcher (
10.).
FAIL-SAFE is switched OFF in the receiver's default state (as
delivered), and after a RESET. FAIL-SAFE is activated using the
SET button on the receiver, or - in the case of certain trans-
mitters - "by radio".
If you wish to disable FAIL-SAFE again, the receiver must be
reset to the default state (RESET
must repeat the binding procedure (
! Note: always activate FAIL-SAFE!
For safety reasons we recommend that you always activate
FAIL-SAFE, and ensure that the selected FAIL-SAFE settings
will cause the model to take up as safe an attitude as possible
(e.g. motor idle / electric motor OFF, control surfaces neutral,
landing flaps deployed, tow-release open, ...).
Selecting the FAIL-SAFE settings:
1. The receiver LED must not display any errors
(LED code 3 8.1).
If it does: switch the receiver OFF, then ON again.
2 Use your transmitter to move all the servos (and the speed
controller) to your preferred FAIL-SAFE positions. Press the
SET button briefly (0.5 to 1 second). The FAIL-SAFE posi-
tions are now stored for all servo channels, and the LED
flashes the confirmation signal (LED code 5
Testing the FAIL-SAFE positions:
Move the sticks to positions other than the FAIL-SAFE settings,
and then switch the transmitter OFF: the servos should go into
HOLD mode briefly (0.75 seconds), and then move to the FAIL-
SAFE positions which you previously selected.
The FAIL-SAFE positions must always be checked and updated
when necessary, e.g. when you install the receiver in a new
model.
