Receiver Start Up - GRAUPNER mz-24 Pro Programming Manual

Receiver Start Up

Preliminary Remarks
Notice
With the mz-24 Pro HoTT transmitter, it is possi-
ble to control up to 12 functions. Any servos
which are connected to the receiver outputs 13
and higher remain in their middle position by default and
cannot be actuated by the transmitter.
After turning on the receiver a LED indicates the trans-
mitter reception is missing. This means that a link
has not (yet) been established with a Graupner-HoTT
transmitter. This happens if the transmitter is not yet
bound to the receiver, if the bound transmitter is out
of range, if the transmitter is turned off, or if the wrong
model memory has been selected in the transmitter.
To establish a connection with the transmitter, first the
receiver must be linked to the model memory in the
transmitter. This process is known as "binding". Re-
fer to the BASE submenu TX ctl section (page 68) for
additional information on binding. This binding proce-
dure is required once per each receiver-model mem-
ory combination or, after changes have been made to
one or more model memories, once per each trans-
mitter-receiver combination . Basically, binding must
be performed only after buying a new transmitter, af-
ter buying additional receivers, or after changing the
model memory.
Notice
If the LED of your receiver indicates that it is ready
for use but the receiver does not react to the SET
button or to the control movements, check the
polarity of the receiver power supply.

Temperature Warning
If the receiver temperature falls below a pre-set thresh-
old (-10°C by default) or exceeds a pre-set threshold
(+55°C by default), the receiver emits a warning beep
that repeats approximately once per second. Tem-
perature thresholds can be adjusted in the telemetry
menus.
Refer to Installation Notices (page 16) for informa-
tion on receiver and servo setup.
Notice
Certain integrated BEC* speed controllers can-
not be used in conjunction with additional receiv-
er batteries without first removing the plus pole
(red cable) from the 3-pin plug. Check the speed con-
troller's instructions for more information.
To remove the cable:
1. Use a short screwdriver to
carefully lift the middle tab of
the plug.
2. Remove the red cable.
3. Use electrician's tape to protect against shorts.
* BEC = Battery Elimination Circuit
Reset
To reset the receiver, hold down the SET button on the
top of the receiver while turning on the power supply.
If the reset is performed while the transmitter is turned
off, or if the receiver is not bound to a transmitter, the
000%
LED on the receiver indicates the status (according
4.2V
to the receiver's instructions), usually by a series of
flashes. Release the button after about 3 seconds.
If the reset is performed with a receiver not bound to
a transmitter, you can then start a binding process at
any time.
If a bound receiver is reset and the associated mod-
000
el memory is active in the turned-on transmitter, the
LED will typically flash for 2-3 seconds (according to
the description included in receiver instructions), in-
dicating that the transmitter/receiver system is ready
to use.
Note
The RESET ALL function will delete all receiver
settings and revert it to the factory defaults. The
HoTT synchronization information is not affected.
If a reset is performed accidentally, all of the receiver
settings made using the BASE submenu Telemetry
should be restored.
Resetting is recommended when moving a receiver to a
different model. Otherwise, settings may be transferred
which do not match the new model.
