1. Introduction Dear Customer, thank you for purchasing this product. This product complies with the statutory national and European requirements. To maintain this status and to ensure safe operation, you as the user must observe these operating instructions! These operating instructions are part of this product. They contain important notes on commissioning and handling.
3. Intended Use The 10-channel remote control "HT-10" is solely designed for private use in the field of model construction and the operating times associated with it. This system is not suitable for industrial use, such as controlling machines or equipment.
5. Scope of Delivery • Remote control transmitter • Remote control receiver • Binding plug • Latching bracket with screws • Operating instructions on CD Current operating instructions Download the current operating instructions via the link www.conrad.com/downloads or scan the QR code displayed.
• Please check the functional safety of your model and of the remote control system each time before you use the model. Watch out for any visible damage such as defective plug connections or damaged cables. All movable parts on the model have to be running smoothly. However, there must be no tolerance or 'play' in the bearing.
7. Battery and Rechargeable Battery Notes Although use of batteries and rechargeable batteries in everyday life is a matter of course today, there are many dangers and problems. Therefore, always observe the following information and safety notes in handling of batteries and rechargeable batteries. •...
8. Charging Rechargeable Batteries If you use rechargeable batteries for power supply of the receiver, they are usually flat at delivery and must be charged. Observe: Before a rechargeable battery reaches maximum capacity, several complete discharge and charge cycles are necessary. Always discharge the rechargeable battery at regular intervals, since charging a "half-full"...
10. Setting up the Transmitter In the further course of these instructions, figures in the text always refer to the adjacent figure or the figures within the section. References to other figures are indicated with the corresponding figure number. a) Inserting the Batteries For the power supply of the transmitter you will need 4 alkaline batteries (e.g.
c) Setting the Control Stick Length You can adjust the length of the control sticks, depend- ing on your steering habits. To do so simply hold the bottom part of the grip (1) and turn the upper part (2) up anti-clockwise. You can now set the length of the control lever by turning the bottom part of the grip.
11. Setting up the Receiver a) Connecting the Receiver The receiver offers connection options for up to 10 ser- vos (channels 1 to 10 correspond to the receiver outputs "CH1" to "CH10"). The servos can also be replaced by motor/speed controllers or switching elements. If the remote control is used for a plane/helicopter model, the receiver outputs "CH1"...

When using servos with high power demand, we recommend to always use a receiver battery pack. The connections are designed for Futaba plug connectors. If required, you can also easily use JR plugs or plug connectors of the same build. Important! When connecting servos and speed controllers, always make sure of correct polarity of the plug connec- tors.
b) Mounting the Receiver Installation of the receiver depends on the model. For this reason, you should always follow the recommendations of the model manufacturer regarding the installation. Regardless of the model, you should always try to install the receiver so that it is protected from dust, dirt, moisture, heat and vibration in the best possible way.
12. Installing the Servos The installation of a servo (1) always depends on the particular model used. Detailed information on this can be found in the construction documents of the model. Generally, however, try screwing in the servos in a vi- bration-dampened manner.
13. Setting the Trim The trim mostly serves to correct the slight inclination of the servo levers for channels 1 to 4 due to the interlock and the connected irregular control movements. Additionally, there is the option to adjust the model in operation precisely, e.g.
14. Checking the Servo Directions of Travel For function, driving or ship models, you can individually specify the driving and steering functions of the control levers, since both control levers are returned to the middle position by spring force. For flight or helicopter models, it is best to comply with the above control lever functions for channels 1 to 4.
15. Switching the Servo Directions of Travel If the movement directions of the servos or the speed controller function at the receiver outputs "CH1" to "CH4" are not as required, you can switch the running direc- tion of the servos or the speed controller function in the transmitter with the reverse switches (also see figure 1, item 11).
16. Conversion of the Control Lever Functions If you want to control a motor-powered flight model with your "HT-10" remote control, the left control lever must not return to the middle position on its own at forward or reveres movement (throttle/pitch function). It must remain in the position into which it was last moved.
17. Changing the Control Lever Allocation If you do not want to operate your motor or helicopter model by controlling the throttle/pitch function with the left control lever (mode II) as intended ex works, but with the right control lever (mode I), the transmitter can be adjusted accordingly.
18. Mixer Function The remote control "HT-10" has a mixer function that can be activated with the mixer switch (also see figure 1, item 12). When the slider is in the bottom position, regular operation without mixer function is active. If the slider is pushed up, channel 1 "CH1"...
Page 23
Use of the mixer in a crawler: In a crawler where every chain is controlled via a dedicated motor with speed controller, channel 2 "CH2" and channel 3 "CH3" can be used for driving. The control then takes place with the two control levers and the mixing function can be switched off.
Page 24
If you want to control only using one control lever, the two speed controllers for the left and right chains must be con- nected to channel 1 "CH1" and channel 2 "CH2". When the mixer has been activated, the model must react according to figure 15.
"AFHDS 2A" encoded receiver. If you want to operate a REELY receiver with the digital code "AFHDS", the transmitter must be switched first and then the receiver must be bound to the transmitter (see following chapter).
20. Binding Function To enable transmitter and receiver to work together, they must be bound by the same digital code. In the delivery state, transmitter and receiver are aligned with each other and can be used at once. The binding settings must be renewed mainly after a replacement of the transmitter or receiver or to remove any interferences.
21. Simulator Function, Student Transmitter Function If required, you can also use the transmitter at the PC for simulations or games. In this case, you will require the optional USB cable (Conrad item no. 517956) and suitable computer software (e.g. flight simulation games, etc.). The USB cable is connected to the PS2 interface socket (1) at the rear of the transmitter.
23. Troubleshooting Problem Remedy Transmitter doesn’t respond • Check the batteries in the transmitter. • Check the polarity of the batteries. • Check the battery contacts of the remote control. • Check the on/off switch. The servos do not respond •...
