Electronic devices are sensitive to electro-static
discharges. This module is equipped with electro-
statically sensitive
destroyed as the result of an electro-static discharge
(potential discharge) when the module is touched,
or their service life can be affected. At delivery, a conductive ESD
protection bag protects the module.
Please make sure the following protective measures for electro-
statically sensitive modules are observed:
•
Before inserting or removing the module from the base unit,
equalise the potential
surroundings (e.g. touch a radiator).
•
If necessary, open the base unit and touch a large part of it
in order to provide potential compensation with the base
unit.
•
Only then remove the module from the conductive ESD
protection bag. Avoid direct contact with the electronic
components or with the soldering points. Only touch the
module at the edge of the board.
•
Outside the base unit, store the module inside the
conductive ESD protection bag only. Never allow direct
contact with any conventional non-ESD compliant plastic
foam, Styrofoam or other plastic container.

The scanner module is intended exclusively for application in
transmitters of the MULTIPLEX ROYALevo type (ROYALevo 7, 9
and 12) in conjunction with the synthesizer HF-module HFM-S.

automatic protection from double use of a channel when the
transmitter is switched on
The scan operation scan operation scan operation scan operation allows an overview of the channel use on
the corresponding frequency band of the scanner module or the
HF module. The illustration is made very clearly in graphical form
(bar chart). The scanner module operates just like a normal
remote control receiver. During the scan operation, the HF
module is de-activated and no HF signal is transmitted.
The channel check channel check channel check channel check function automatically checks whether the
HF module is activated and whether the set channel is free,
when the transmitter is switched on and before the HF module
is activated. Only if the set channel is recognised as free will
transmitter start transmitting and the HF signal be produced. This
is an important contribution to the safety during the operation of
model aircraft, because the risk of double use of a channel is
considerably reduced.
