Countermeasures Against Noise - Ko Propo EX-2 Instruction Manual

● Countermeasures Against Noise
Keep antenna cable away from all sources of noise!
Noise is generated in any area where a large amount of
electric current is flowing. Position the receiver and
antenna cable as far away from the motor, battery, ESC,
and their associated cables as possible. (Metal or carbon
fiber chassis components will also conduct electricity
and generate noise.)
Since R/C models are controlled via radio signals, taking
appropriate measures against noise generated by
on-board equipment is of utmost importance. Take
adequate measures against noise so that your machine
can fully realize your driving potential.
● Receiver Installation on a Carbon Fiber Chassis
When installing the receiver to the chassis or R/C
equipment deck/tray, use two or more pieces of thick
double-sided tape to raise the receiver off the chassis
surface. By increasing the separation between the
receiver and the noise-generating carbon-fiber chassis
components, the effects of noise can be decreased.
※Install the receiver so that its LEDs are visible.
● Antenna Installation
Raise the antenna cable vertically from as high a position as possible. Insert the antenna cable into the antenna
pipe so that the tip of the antenna aligns with the end of the pipe. Make the length of cable which runs between
the receiver and the pipe as short as possible and position the antenna holder as close to the receiver as
possible. Position the antenna cable away from sources of noise such as the chassis and R/C equipment
deck/tray. Use an antenna pipe and antenna mount that are made from plastic, since metal parts will conduct
noise.

※Do not bend or cut the antenna cable.
(This may break the antenna wire and deteriorate its
performance.)

● Installing Onto a Glow Engine Car
Engine vibrations may damage the receiver. Make sure to attach a
grommet (receiver holder) to reduce the effects of such vibrations. Do
not attach the receiver directly to the chassis or R/C equipment
deck/tray with double-sided tape. Also position the receiver so that it
does not contact the heat and exhaust of the engine and muffler.
※Install the receiver so that its LEDs are visible.
