Radio Installation; Receiver Installation - ACE RC Sky Commander T4A 8418 Instruction Manual

Radio installation

Before installing your radio into your model, connect the receiver, servos,
and switch harness/battery pack as shown. In addition to checking for proper
operation, this "bench test" will help you to become familiar with the operation
of your radio. After connecting the model component s, extend both the
transmitter and receiver antennas to their full length. Begin by turning on
the transmitter, and then turn on the receiver switch. Make sure that all
servos and trims levers are operating, and take a few moments to "play"
with your system. After completion of your bench testing, turn off the receiver,
followed by the transmitter.

WARNING
Always follow the "transmitter on first, off last" procedure. A good way
to remember this is to remind yourself to always have your receiver
"listening" to the transmitter. If you turn the transmitter off prior to
turning off the receiver, the receiver has nothing to "listen to", and
this condition can sometimes damage the servo output gear train
because of "jitters" or excessive servo travel beyond normal limits.
Servos
Mount the servos as recommende d in your model's instruction manual,
Follow these general guidelines for servo mounting.

Receiver installation

Note the location of the receiver in your model's instruction manual or building
plans.

NOTE
We assume that all areas where large currents are flowing are generating
noise, and noise is a type of radio wave. It is important to reduce the
possibility of interference by locating a fine position for receiver and
antenna.
HELPFUL HINT
Always install the receiver as far as possible from the motor, ESC,
NiCd/NiMH batteries, motor wire or other noise sources. Especially,
do not route the motor wire next to the receiver, crystal or receiver
antenna.
Noise suppression capacitors should be installed on almost all motors.
If the proper capacitors are not installed, high frequency noise will
reduce range and cause loss of control along with various other problems.
Make sure your motor is equipped with noise suppressi on diodes or
capacitors.
NOTE
FET servo wire (7.2V) can also generate noise, position them as far
away as possible from the receiver and the antenna.
