mx-10
the latest generation of radio control technology
HoTT (Hopping Telemetry Transmission) is the synthe-
sis of expertise, engineering and world-wide testing by
professional pilots. The equipment operates on the 2.4
GHz band, and offers bi-directional communication bet-
ween transmitter and receiver via a down-link channel
integrated into the receiver.
The mx-10 HoTT RC system is based on the Graup-
ner/JR mc-24 computer radio control system which
was introduced back in 1997. It has been developed
specifi cally for the beginner, but the mx-10 HoTT is
still capable of controlling all current model types wit-
hout problem - whether fi xed-wing model or helicopter,
model boat or car.
In the area of fi xed-wing models it is often necessary
to employ complex mixer functions for the control
surfaces. Computer technology enables you to activate
a vast range of functions to cope with special model
requirements – with the simple setting of a „jumper".
With the mx-10 HoTT all you do is select the appro-
priate model type, and the software then presents you
automatically with the appropriate mixer and coupling
functions. This means that the transmitter requires no
additional modules in order to implement complex coup-
led functions, and you can forget all about old-fashioned
mechanical mixers in the model. Even helicopters can
be controlled by a „Flybarless" system.
The mx-10 HoTT provides an extremely high level of
safety and reliability in use.
The beginner quickly becomes familiar with the different
functions thanks to the clear, logically arranged program
structure.
In theory the Graupner HoTT process allows more than
200 models to be operated simultaneously. Although in
practice the mixed operation of different technical sys-
tems in the 2.4 GHz ISM band – as required by the ap-
proval regulations – reduces this number considerably.
Generally, however, it will always be possible to operate
even more models simultaneously on the 2.4 GHz band
than on the 35 / 40 MHz frequency bands which we
have used to date. However, the actual limiting factor –
as it has always been – is likely to remain the size of the
(air-) space available. The simple fact that no frequency
control procedure is necessary equates to an enormous
gain in safety, especially at fl ying sites such as gliding
slopes where groups of pilots may be distributed over a
large area, with nobody in overall control.
The optional Smart-Box provides a simple means of
accessing data and programming HoTT receivers. For
example, this method can be used to map receiver
outputs, distribute control functions to multiple servos,
and match servo travels and directions to each other.
This manual describes each menu in detail, and also
provides dozens of useful tips, notes and program-
ming examples to complement the basic information.
Please refer to the Appendix for additional information
on the HoTT system. This manual concludes with the
transmitter's conformity declaration and guarantee
certifi cate.
Please read the safety notes and the technical infor-
mation. We recommend that you read right through the
instructions with great care, and check all the functions
as described in the text. This can be carried out simply
by connecting servos to the supplied receiver, and
watching their response as you program the transmit-
ter. However, please read the notes on page 96 in this
regard. This is the quickest method of becoming familiar
with the essential procedures and functions of the mx-
10 HoTT.
Always handle your radio-controlled model with a
responsible attitude to avoid endangering yourself and
others.
The Graupner team wishes you great pleasure and suc-
cess with your mx-10 HoTT - a radio control system of
the latest generation.
