Model Copy; Warnings; Telemetry - Spektrum DX18 Manuel D'utilisation

Model Copy

The Model Copy Screen supports copying the active model's
programming to one of the other 49 model memories.
Common uses of this Model Copy function include:
• Organize model memories by category, type, etc. You will
need to re-bind after moving models among the 50 memo-
ries.
• Experiment with model programming while keeping a safety
copy.
• Use Model Copy to try two setups for one model, but remem-
ber to re-bind the receiver each time you change between
model memories.
• Copy an existing model's programming to a memory for a
similar model. Some pilots simplify programming this way.
For example, a JR Vibe™ 50 helicopter with 120CCPM
®

Warnings

The Warnings function programs an alarm to sound or a vibration
to be made if specific switches or stick positions are in an unsafe
position when the transmitter is powered on.
When such an unsafe condition exists, an alarm sounds, the
screen displays a warning and transmission will not occur until
the stick or switch is moved back to a safe position.
You can program additional warnings to alert yourself of unsafe
conditions during operation.

Telemetry

The DX18 is ready to operate with telemetry modules. Please
scroll through available options on the Telemetry Screen for
ideas about what sensor types you would like to purchase.
Refer to www.spektrumrc.com for more information about new
telemetry modules and DX18 firmware updates to support
telemetry options.
Telemetry input to the transmitter requires correct installation
and binding of telemetry modules. Telemetry data is only avail-
able on screen when using a receiver with a telemetry module.
This allows the transmitter to both send information to the re-
ceiver and receive real-time information back that can be shown
on your transmitter's screen. This feature requires the additional
Telemetry Module and Sensors (sold separately).
Telemetry values are:
• RPM
• Voltage Flight Battery
• Temperature
• Altitude
• Airspeed
• Receiver Battery voltage
• Flight Log Data
• 8G G-Force
• 40G G-Force

mixing, gyro and governor programming is a good program-
ming start for another nitro-powered 120CCPM mixing
helicopter. Also, an Extra 300 with dual aileron and elevator
servos programmed for dual flap and dual elevator mixing
is a good programming start for another aerobatic airplane
with the same control system.
• Copying to a model memory overwrites and deletes existing
programming in that memory. Refer to Transfer SD Card for
saving model memories on an SD card.
Bind the Telemetry Module and Receiver
1. Connect the data port on the telemetry module to the data
port on the receiver using the data lead.
2. Press and hold the bind button on the side of the telemetry
module.
3. While holding the bind button on the telemetry module,
power on the receiver. The main receiver, attached remote
receiver and the telemetry module LEDs will blink, indicating
the system is in bind mode.
4. Put throttle and switches in the desired failsafe positions
(normally low throttle and neutral sticks) and put the trans-
mitter into bind mode.
5. The transmitter's main screen will show the receiver type.
After several seconds, the system connects and the trans-
mitter will show the Main Screen.
6. Go to the Telemetry Screen and make sure flight log data
and receiver voltage shows.
7. Roll and Select the Settings option to select the display and
Units used for the telemetry functions.
8. Roll and select File Settings to activate the Data Logging
function. Here you can select the file name for the data
logging, the switch to start data logging, as well as enabling
(activating) the data logging function. The file can be
emailed to your iOS device with the Spektrum STi™
application to view your telemetry data logged.
