Tactic TR826 Manual

OVERVIEW AND INSTALLATION
Refer to the instructions with the aircraft to determine the optimum position for installing the receiver. In some
aircraft it's recommended to fi rst wrap the receiver in protective foam, and then use hook-and-loop material to
mount it to the aircraft.
IMPORTANT! Pay close attention to how the antenna tips are routed inside the model. It's best to orient
the antenna tips at least 5 inches away from each other, preferably pointing at 90 degree angles. If possible,
align one antenna tip horizontally and the other vertically inside the model.
LINK THE RECEIVER TO THE TACTIC/SLT COMPATIBLE TRANSMITTER
Linking the TR826 receiver to the Tactic / SLT compatible transmitter ensures sole communication between the two,
and prevents other transmitters from being able to control the receiver.
1. Turn on the Tx.
2. Apply power to the Rx.
WARNING: Make sure the Rx battery is fully
charged before fl ight! If during fl ight you suspect
battery power is becoming low, land the aircraft
as soon as possible and recharge the battery before
attempting further fl ights.
3. If the Rx LED fl ashes once and then stays on, the
Rx is already linked to the Tx and you can skip to
the next section. Otherwise, insert a small diameter
screwdriver through the hole marked "LINK" and
press the pushbutton until the Rx LED glows red
and then turns off after about one second.
FAILSAFE FUNCTION
The radio system's failsafe function is controlled by the TR826 receiver, which engages in the event that the signal
from the Tx somehow becomes interrupted. In such case, all channels can move to a position which is pre-set by
the user as follows:
1. IMPORTANT: make sure the servo reverse setting
for each channel is in the correct position for the
application.
2. Apply power to the Tx, then the Rx.
Tactic's TR826 8 channel receiver is capable
of full-range operation for any aircraft type.
Its SLT protocol makes it compatible with all
Tactic brand 2.4GHz aircraft transmitters, and other brand radios that include the
SLT protocol. Twin receiving antennas allow for optimum signal reception and clarity.
4. Release the "LINK" button.
5. If the linking is successful, the Rx LED will fl ash once
and then remain ON.
6. Test for proper Tx/Rx functionality before use. If the
radio doesn't appear to have become properly bound,
repeat steps 1–5 above.
If the receiver is powered without the transmitter being
turned on, or signal from the transmitter is not recognized
by the receiver, the receiver will go to failsafe mode as
described in the following section.
3a. If using an ESC: do NOT arm the ESC, or attempt
2.4GHZ 8- CHANNEL TWIN ANTENNA RECEIVER
to adjust the throttle's failsafe position if the ESC is
armed. NOTE: If you're using an ESC which has a
signal loss feature, its pre-set failsafe position will
be irrelevant as the receiver's failsafe function will
cease the throttle operation if the signal is lost.
