an RF signal. The transmitter (MULTIPLEX transmitter with multi-
function socket) is connected directly to the receiver using an
MPX switch harness with charge socket and a diagnosis lead,
# 8 5105 # 8 5105 # 8 5105 # 8 5105 . The switch harness must be connected to the socket
marked "B /D" or "B /D" (D = Diagnosis).

When you switch the system on, the receiver detects that the
diagnosis lead is connected. The signal packet is received directly
from the transmitter via the diagnosis lead, and not via the RF
link.
The RF signal is not restored automatically when you disconnect
the Diagnosis lead. The receiver must first be switched on again.

Note: Note:
First switch the receiver OFF, then the transmitter OFF, then
disconnect the Diagnosis lead. During Diagnosis operations the
LED glows constantly. The error counter does not operate during
Diagnosis operations.

If the receiver is permanently installed in the model, and the
button and LED on the receiver are not accessible, the unit can
be controlled using the RX-SYNTH set-up lead which is available
as an optional accessory. Connect the lead to the socket marked
"B /D", and install it in an easily accessible location on the model.
!
The RX-SYNTH set-up lead can be extended if necessary using a
standard UNI extension lead (e.g.
The RX-SYNTH set-up lead features a 3-pin connector marked
"PC". This can be used to connect the receiver to a PC (

Note: Note:
When you press the button on the RX-SYNTH set-up lead, the
LED on the set-up lead does not light up! The LED in the
receiver continues to work in the normal way if the button on
the RX-SYNTH set-up lead is pressed.
19. RX-SYNTH D
All MULTIPLEX RX-SYNTH IPD receivers incorporate micro-
controllers (FLASH technology). This means that it is possible to
connect the receiver to a PC or notebook using the PC

You can download the RX-SYNTH DataManager PC program from
the MULTIPLEX website (www.multiplex-rc.de). This program
opens up more possible functions for the RX-SYNTH receiver:
•
Expanded receiver options, such as:
freely variable HOLD and FAIL-SAFE time, activate and adjust
HOLD / FAIL-SAFE channel by channel, set RF channel manu-
ally, ...
•
Software update
•
Scanner funktion
The channels in use on the corresponding frequency band
are displayed in graphic form. With alarm and logbook func-
tion.
•
Read out error counter / memory
The error count for signal errors, field strength errors and op-
erating voltage can be read out separately.

NSTALLATION NOTES
•
Receivers contain components which are sensitive to vibra-
tion. You should therefore pack your receiver loosely in foam
or similar material to protect it from vibration - especially
with internal combustion motors.
•
Install the receiver at least 150 mm away from electric mo-
tors, petrol engine ignition systems and other electronic
components. The receiver aerial should not run immediately
adjacent to these components.
•
Electric motors must be effectively suppressed (e.g. using our
suppressor set, # 8 5020). This does not apply to brushless
motors.
•
If you have to use servo extension leads longer than 50 cm,
you must use a separation filter (e.g. # 8 5035) in each lead.
•
Do not alter the length of the aerial.

).
•
Route the aerial out of the model and extend it in as straight
a line as possible. Do not leave it coiled up.
•
For large-scale models we recommend the use of a whip
aerial. Avoid connectors in the receiver aerial if possible, but
if inevitable we recommend our aerial connector system: # 8
5233 (plug), # 8 5234 (socket).
•
Do not deploy the receiver aerial parallel to servo leads, high-
current cables or electrically conductive components (e.g.
pushrods).
•
Do not deploy the aerial inside or over model components
which are skinned or reinforced with conductive materials
(e.g. carbon fibre, metallic paints etc.), as they have a shield-
ing effect.
•
Keep to the recommended installation arrangement
(sketches A - C).

ARRYING OUT A
It is very important to carry out regular range checks to ensure
that the radio control system works reliably. These checks also
allow you to detect problems and sources of interference in
good time. This applies in particular when:
•
you are using new or altered components, or you have
changed the arrangement of components in the model;
•
you are using radio control system components which were
involved in a previous hard landing or crash;
•
irregularities or problems have arisen during previous flights.

Important: Important:
•
Always carry out the range check with the help of a friend
who can hold and watch the model (model aircraft 1 m
above ground, vehicles and boats on their running surface).
•
For a range check install the telescopic transmitter aerial but
leave it completely collapsed. Don't use a helical stub aerial
for this!
•
No other transmitters should be switched on during the
range check.
The range of the
receiver with transmitter aerial collapsed down to a single seg-
ment should be at least 80 m. We recommend that you disable
the IPD filter for range-checking, so that interference and irregu-
larities are not suppressed. You have reached the range limit
when the servos begin to jitter and move uncontrollably, and no
longer respond clearly to control commands. If your transmitter
has an automatic servo test program, we recommend that you
set this up for one control function, e.g. rudder, for the range
check, as this guarantees even servo movement, and makes it
easier to see when the receiver no longer responds correctly to
control commands.
Important: Important: Important: Important:
Carry out the initial range check with the motor or engine
stopped. Repeat the check with the power system operating (all
throttle settings): the range should not be significantly reduced. If
it is much lower, seek out and eliminate the cause of the
problem (motor interference, arrangement of the receiving
system components and power supply, vibration, etc.).

ISPOSAL
Electrical equipment marked with the crossed-out waste
bin symbol must not be discarded in the domestic
waste; it should be disposed of via the appropriate
specialised disposal system.
In the countries of the EU (European Union) electrical
devices must not be discarded via the normal domestic
waste system (WEEE - Waste of Electrical and Electronic
Equipment, Directive 2002/96/EG). You can take your unwanted
equipment to your nearest public collection point or recycling
centre, where it will be disposed of in the proper manner at no
charge to you.
By disposing of your old equipment in a responsible manner you
make an important contribution to the safeguarding of the
environment.
