Operating Instructions for Single Line Converter
With the Single Line Converter (in the following called SLC) servo signals (channel outputs) of any given re-
ceiver can be converted into a so called summary signal. A summary signal contains the channel information
in temporal sequence starting with channel 1. The SLC is capable to combine up to 8 receiver outputs. It
does not matter if 8 channels are actually used. Important is merely the sequence of the connections. If i.e.
only the channels 1 to 5 are connected, only these will be displayed in the summary signal. Unused channels
being smaller than the highest connected channel will be transmitted with their servo center position signal.
For example: if only the channels 1,2 and 4 are connected, but channel 3 is not, channel 3 will be processed
as servo center position signal.
The converter is required wherever a summary signal is expected. This is for example the case with the ECO
7 GigaTronic, but it also applies when interfacing with flight simulators (wireless flight simulator operation)
and some quadrocopter applications. With the help of this converter all existing devices (ECO7, GigaTronic,
Quadrocopter) of any given frequency (in particular 2.4 GHz of course) can be operated.

Connecting the SLC
Before connecting a 2.4 GHz receiver to the SLC, the transmitter and receiver need to be calibrated via the so
called "Binding" procedure. Please read the respective instructions of your radio manual. Connect the receiver
channel outputs with the servo extension cables to the equivalent SLC channel inputs, i.e. receiver channel 1
goes to SLC channel 1 and so forth. Definitely watch for correct polarity! Another servo extension cable has
to be plugged into output "S" (summary signal) of the SLC. The other end of it goes to the receiver input con-
nector at the GigaTronic. Alternatively, when using the SLC with a flight simulator, the servo extension cable
needs to be plugged into the Dual USB Interface unit.
With this extension cable you have the option on the ECO 7 Jet Ranger to place the receiver electronics (re-
ceiver and SLC) further forward in the helicopter, allowing you to remove the mechanics with the GigaTronic
separately from the ECO 7 helicopter for maintenance.
