Introduction Thank you very much for purchasing the Graupner mz-10 HoTT transmitter. Read this manual carefully to achieve the best results with your transmitter and first of all to safely control your models. If you experience any trouble during operation, take the instructions to help or ask your dealer or Graupner Service Centre.
Read through this entire manual before you attempt to install or use the transmitter. Graupner/SJ constantly works on the development of all prod- ucts; we reserve the right to change the item, its technology and equipment. Target group The product is not a toy.

Symbols explication Always observe the information indicated by this warning sign. Particularly those which are additionally marked with the CAU- TION or WARNING. The signal word WARNING indicates the poten- tial for serious injury, the signal word CAUTION indicates possibil- ity of lighter injuries.
Protect all equipment from dust, dirt, moisture. All equip- ment must be protected from vibration as well as excessive heat or cold. The models may only be operated remotely in normal outside temperatures such as from -10°C to +55°C. For your safety by handling the transmitter WARNING Also while programming the transmitter, make sure that a con-...

Commissioning Adjust screws for brake spring and ratchet Neutralization lever Screw to convert from neutralizing to non neutralizing Stick self centering force adjust screws Brake spring and ratchet Opening/closing the transmitter housing The transmitter should be opened only in the following cases: ...
Open step by step: Before opening the housing switch the transmitter off. Open the battery case. Remove the battery box lifting it from one side and gently release it from the velcro tape. Unplug the connector. Unscrew the eight screws with a cross screwdriver. Hold both housing halves with both hands and let the screws fall on a proper surface turning the transmitter upside-down.
Note The right control stick gimbal is specular to the left one, so that here the screw is located left under the middle. Brake spring and ratchet The outboard screw of the two marked in the figure adjust the braking force. The inboard screw adjusts the strength of the ratchet for the respective control stick.
Transmitter power supply The mz-10 HoTT transmitter normally includes normally 4 non-re- chargeable batteries. Installing the batteries WARNING Alkaline batteries (dry batteries) should not be recharged. Acute risk of explosion! Note Pay attention when inserting the batteries to the correct position and make sure the contacts are solid.
Note The charging socket comes standard with a protection switch that protects against polarity reversal. Original Graupner automatic char- gers recognize the battery charge. In order to prevent damage to the protection switch and to the other components, charging current should never exceed 1 A.
After switching the transmitter on the central status LED in the top blinks red and an acoustic signal is emitted, to indicate the last programming status, see following chart. Graupner LED (red) Buzzer Description Solid on...

After every activation of the "NORMAL" use mode: The transmitter will be in program mode "Fail safe". The buzzer beeps each 2 seconds and contemporary the status LED blinks. The country setting, even if changed to "FRANCE", will be set to "GENERAL" so as the position of the digital trim will be set to "neutral".
Binding Binding the mz-10 transmitter When binding, make sure that the transmitter antenna is always far enough away (1 to 2 meters) from the receiver antenna. Note The mz-10 HoTT can only be bound in "NORMAL" use mode. Make sure, before starting the "binding" process, that the transmitter is in this use mode.
Range warning In general, an acoustic range warning is emitted once the receiver signal in the feedback channel becomes too weak. Since the transmitter's output is significantly higher than the receiver, the model can always be operated safely. For safety you should reduce the model distance, until the signal quits again.

If this is not 100 % the case, do not use the system and con- tact your Service at Graupner/SJ GmbH. 10. Perform a range test before each flight, and simulate all servo movements that could occur during the flight.
Operation and settings Supported model types Up to two aileron servos by normal models so as V-tail and all- wing/delta models with two aileron/elevator servos are sup- ported. NO mixer active: 1 central aileron servo for both wings Rudder Elevator Preprogrammed mixers of the mz-10 HoTT transmitter: ...
Receiver configuration Attention The servos must be connected to the receiver in the indicated sequence. Outputs that are not required are not assigned. If only 1 aileron servo is used for both ailerons the receiver output 5 for the right aileron remains free. So that this output is available for special functions.
Page 26
Due to the different installation of the servos and rudder linkages in the model, the direction for certain servos can be reversed. In a V-tail: Servo with wrong Solution direction Reversed rudder and elevator Direction servo 3 + 4 Rudder correct, elevator reversed Switch servos 3 + 4 on the receiver Elevator correct, rudder reversed Change servo 3 + 4 direction and...
Transmitter programming CAUTION Safely interrupt the fuel line or the power supply in your model, so that during the programming the motor cannot start accidentally. Notes Within an activation of the described below rotation procedure for setting the desired locale and control arrangement, however, only one option can always be activated.
Control mode There are four different ways of assigning the four control func- tions of aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle or airbrake flaps of a wing model of both sticks. The options that are chosen depend on the individual preferences of the model pilot. »MODE 1«...
Servo direction and model type Switch on the transmitter without programming connector. The servo direction and model type options can be selected in each of the three operating modes (NORMAL, TEACHER, PUPIL). Push for at least 2 seconds the left arrow button near the LED field.

Note Through the available optional SMART BOX the servo can be individually adapted to the model necessity in the RX SERVO menu in the receiver. Model type setting In the mz-10 transmitter you can select one of the standard con- figurations.

Pay attention in the following described setting, that an already con- nected motor does not start accidentally during the test of the selected option. Note that the chosen fail safe settings are saved in the receiver. The fail safe settings should be restored after changing a receiver and should be deleted in the previous receiver by resetting.

The transmitter is now again in control mode. Check the settings by switching the transmitter off. Correct or repeat the programming if the servos do not move to the desired position. Mode "Hold" In case of transmission interruptions, all servos programmed to "hold"...
Teacher/Student (T/S) An mz-10 transmitter can be combined with any suitable HoTT transmitter for a wireless Teacher-Pupil system. But: Completely independently from the related teacher transmitter defaults in a pupil transmitter type mz-10 HoTT the training model MUST ALWAYS be bound to the pupil transmitter. In addiction it is absolutely essential for correct training that the model memory active in the teacher model is not bound to any receiver.
Page 35
Preparing teacher and pupil transmitter: Teacher transmitter Bring the mz-10 teacher transmitter in "TEACHER" use mode or program the other teacher transmitter accordingly to its man- ual. Pupil transmitter Bring the mz-10 pupil transmitter in "PUPIL" use mode or pro- gram the other pupil transmitter accordingly to its manual.
T/S mode NOTE Before starting trainer mode for the operational model, be sure to check whether all the functions have been correctly transferred. In the central switch position ("TEACHER") an mz-10 teacher transmitter this transmitter takes the complete control functions, in the upper switch position ("PUPIL") of the teacher transmitter the pupil can control the model, until the (self-neutralizing) TRAINER switch is released.
Only operate your transmitter using the current software version. These information can also be found at: www.graupner.de => Service & Support => Update and revision history for GRAUPNER HoTT components. Before each update check the transmitter battery charge status.
