Applications Park flyer—.90 size Electric Aircraft ONLY. CAUTION: Do not use the AR635 receiver in nitro, gas or turbine- powered aircraft or in electric aircraft larger than .90-size. Doing so may cause damage to the aircraft and result in property damage or injury. -
Page 4: Component Selection
Proper servo selection is crucial to the performance of the AS3X stabilization system. We recommend using digital servos, as many analog servos are incompatible with the AR635 receiver. Always choose servos that can provide enough torque for the application. The faster the servo, the better the AS3X system will perform. - Page 5 The designation of computer and non-computer transmitter is determined by the travel adjust capabilities of the transmitter. Non-Computer Transmitters: Spektrum DX4e, DX5e Computer Transmitters: All other Spektrum aircraft transmitters and module systems 3D Aircraft, Non-Computer Transmitter 1. Make sure all trims are centered at neutral.
- Page 6 50% of the receiver dual rate. Changing Between High and Low Dual Rates (Flight Modes) The AR635 receiver uses the Gear channel (Channel 5) to change between High and Low Rates (Flight Modes). If you are using a Spektrum DX4e transmitter, you will use the ACT/AUX switch to change between High and Low Rates.

Page 7: Binding The Transmitter And Receiver
5. Put your transmitter in Bind Mode. The system connects within a few seconds. Once connected, the orange LED light turns solid and the AR635 receiver begins the calibration process (Green, Blue and Red LED lights flash). 6. Remove the bind plug from the BIND port on the receiver before you power off the receiver and transmitter. -
Page 8: Receiver Installation
You can install the receiver under the canopy or in the bottom of the fuselage, as long as the servo pins point toward the nose or tail of the aircraft. IMPORTANT: The AR635 receiver does not support dual servo mixing (dual elevator, dual rudder, elevon or flaperon). If your aircraft requires dual elevator, rudder or aileron servos, you will need to use a Y-harness. - Page 9 Selecting the Transmitter Type IMPORTANT: Aileron and Elevator Reversing MUST be set to Normal to access the programming menus. Before programming the AR635 receiver, you must program the receiver for the transmitter type you want to use: • Sport Aircraft, All Transmitters • 3D Aircraft, Computer Transmitter • 3D Aircraft, Non-Computer Transmitter...
- Page 10 3D Aircraft, Non-Computer Transmitter 1. Power on your transmitter. 2. Move the throttle stick to the middle (1/2 throttle) position. 3. Hold full Left Aileron and full Down Elevator while powering on the receiver (as shown in Figure 2). After 5 seconds, the Red and Blue LEDs in the receiver flash.
- Page 11 Checking the Sensor Control Direction It is extremely important to make sure the sensors are compensating in the correct direction. Before adjusting any gain values, you must check the sensor direction and make note of any sensors that need to be reversed. CAUTION: Failure to complete these steps could result in the aircraft crashing, property damage or personal injury.
- Page 12 Adjusting the Gain Values IMPORTANT: Aileron and Elevator Reversing MUST be set to Normal to access the programming menus. During gain adjustment, the Throttle channel is inactive. Power is still supplied to the Aileron, Elevator and Rudder servos. WARNING: ALWAYS remove the propeller before programming the receiver.

- Page 15 The ESC arm and you will regain throttle control. Testing the Servo Controls After you finish programming the AR635 receiver, you must perform a servo control test before flight. Make sure all servo controls move in the correct direction when you move the transmitter sticks. If any controls are reversed, change the servo reversing in the transmitter.

Page 16: Additional Receiver Information
Additional Receiver Information Hold Indicator The hold indicator (H) is a red LED that shows the number of times (holds) that the receiver lost signal from the transmitter. If the receiver records a hold (enters failsafe), the hold indicator flashes the number of holds. For example, if the hold indicator flashes 3 times then pauses, the receiver went into hold (lost transmitter signal) 3 times. - Page 17 Factory Default Gain Settings To access to factory default gain settings of the AR635, a transmitter stick combination must be used. With the transmitter powered ON, hold full right rudder in combination with throttle full down, then power ON the receiver. After 5 seconds, the red and green LEDs will flash, indicating all gain values have been restored to default settings.
- Page 18 The AS3X system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for the first time. Once the AS3X is active, the control surfaces may move rapidly on the aircraft. This is normal. AS3X will remain active until the AR635 is powered off.

Page 19: Recommended Power System Test Guidelines
Use only AS3X-friendly ESCs. • The switch harness, battery leads, servo leads, regulators, etc. • Receiver battery pack (number of cells, capacity, cell type, state of charge). The AR635 has a minimum operational voltage of 3.5 volts; it is highly recommended the power system be tested per the following guidelines. Recommended Power System Test Guidelines Perform the following test with a voltmeter or servo current meter (HAN172). -

Range Testing Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, perform a range check. All Spektrum aircraft transmitters incorporate a range testing system which, when activated, reduces the output power, allowing a range check. 1.
