Note:
The switch assignment just described also
determines the transmitter used to issue the
teacher and pupil functions, respectively. For
this reason, a pupil transmitter must NEVER be
assigned a switch on this menu. The header line
therefore also switches from "Teacher /
Pupil" to "Teacher / Teach" once a switch
has been assigned.
The model to be controlled by the pupil must be
programmed completely – i. e. with all its functions
including trims and any mixer functions – in one of
the model memories of the
mc-32
transmitter. The HoTT receiver of the model in ques-
tion must also be "bound" to the teacher transmitter,
since the latter ultimately controls the model, even in
pupil mode.
ALWAYS ENSURE YOU SWITCH ON THE
mc-32
HoTT teacher transmitter FIRST
BEFORE PLUGGING THE CONNECTION
CABLE INTO THIS UNIT. Otherwise the RF mod-
ule will not be activated.
The
mc-32
HoTT teacher transmitter can be con-
nected to any suitable pupil transmitter, even trans-
mitters using the "traditional" 35/40 MHz range. This
mc-32
means, for example, that a
transmitter can indeed also be connected to a mc-24
pupil transmitter.
However, if the pupil-side connection is NOT
made via a two-pole DSC socket but rather
via a three-pole trainer socket (for example,
out of the Graupner product line), then the basic
prerequisite for a correct connection to a pupil
transmitter – which is completely independent of

the type of modulation used in the teacher trans-
n/a
mitter – must ALWAYS be set to modulation type
PPM (10, 16, 18 or 24) in the pupil transmitter.
Pupil transmitter set-up
The model to be controlled by the pupil must be pro-
grammed completely, i. e. with all its functions includ-
ing trims and any mixer functions, in one of the model
memories of the teacher transmitter and, if applicable,
the HoTT receiver of the model in question must also
be "bound" to the teacher transmitter. In principle, a
mc-32
HoTT pupil transmitter can also be con-
nected to a teacher transmitter operating on the "tra-
ditional" 35/40 MHz bands. This is possible because
the PPM signal required by the teacher transmitter is
available in the (pupil) transmitter's DSC socket.
HoTT teacher
Almost any transmitter with at least four control func-
tions from previous and current Graupner series can
be used as a pupil transmitter. More detailed informa-
tion can be found in the RC main catalog and on the
www.graupner.de website.
If required, the pupil transmitter should be fitted with
the connection module for pupil transmitters. This is to
be connected to the transmitter board in accordance
with the supplied installation instructions.
Information on the pupil modules required in each
case can be found in the Graupner RC main catalog
and on the www.graupner.de website.
The connection to the teacher transmitter is made
HoTT teacher
using the appropriate lead; see the following dou-
ble page.
The control functions of the pupil trans-
mitter MUST act directly on the control
channels, i. e. the receiver outputs, with-
out intermediary mixers.
If you are using an "mc" or "mx" series transmitter,
it is best to activate a free model memory with the
required model type ("Fixed-wing" or "Heli"). Assign
the model name "Pupil" and set up the stick mode
(mode 1 ... 4) and "Throttle min. forward/back" to suit
the pupil's preferences. All other settings are left at
their default values, however. If you have selected the
"Helicopter" model type, you must also set the throt-
tle/ collective pitch direction and idle trim on the pupil
transmitter. All other settings, including mixer and
coupling functions, are configured exclusively on the
teacher transmitter, which in turn transmits them to
the model.
If the pupil transmitter is a mx-20 HoTT or
HoTT series model then it may also be necessary to
adapt the type of modulation in the "DSC output" line
of the »Base setup model« menu in order to accom-
modate the number of control channels to be trans-
mitted. For example, the signal packet for modulation
type "PPM10" contains only control channels 1 ... 5
but not channel 6 and upper. However, if this chan-
nel is to be used by the pupil then a modulation type
must be selected in which it is included.
For transmitters of type "D" and "FM" it is necessary
to check servo operating directions and their control
correlations. It may be necessary to reconnect cables
appropriately. All mixers must also be switched off or
set to "zero".
When assigning control functions, the usual conven-
tions must be observed:
