RF Transmit
Default is set to off. Tapping the off field will turn the RF to on. If no receiver is found the
radio will sound an error and the Graupner front logo will blink in blue.
Auto RF On
Setting this field to on will activate the RF immediately after the model is loaded bypassing
the RF On/Off dialog shown on startup when the Auto RF is switched to Off.
Bind Group
For an unbound model memory, the default is the next free binding group. However, as
long as the model memory is unbound, this specification can be changed by tapping the
icon on the "Bind Group" field. You can select from the following options:
„Global" enables the receiver to respond to the transmitter signal on a non-exclusive basis.
What this means is that any other receiver that is bounds as global will respond to the
transmitter signal of another model memory that was also bound as global. This can be
used in situations where for example you have multiple models that are all the same and
do not need different model memory settings.
„Group" enables the receiver to respond exclusively to the group ID assigned during
binding. For example, if you bind a receiver to bind group A0, that receiver will not respond
to a signal from the transmitter of a model memory that was bound global or, for example,
as group C2.
You can bind another model memory also under bind group C2, which will result in one
model memory sharing two receivers under a single bind. When both receivers are turned
on, they will respond simultaneously to the same control inputs of the transmitter.
The use case for this is, for example, during competition when one airplane becomes
inoperative and you would like to continue the contest using an identical airplane without
switching model memories on your transmitter to avoid losing time. All you need to do is
power the other airplane and wait for the receiver to establish the bind.
Range Test
When the range test starts, the output of the transmitter decreases significantly. A practical
functional test can therefore be performed at a distance of less than 100 m. After the end
of the range test, the transmitter switches back to full output power and the range test
signal tone stops.
Range test step-by-step
Verify that the receiver and transmitter are communicating properly and that all control
surfaces are functional.
Place the model on a flat surface (cement, mowed lawn or ground) with the receiver
antenna at least 15 cm above ground.
Hold the transmitter at hip level at a slight distance from your body.
Start the range test in the „RF Set" menu by tapping the icon in the "Range Test" field.
The time display begins to count down and a beep will sound throughout the entire range
test.
Move away from the model within the given 99 seconds range test and move the control
sticks while maintaining visual contact.
If you notice an interruption in the connection at any time within a distance of about 50 m
/ 160 ft, try to reproduce it.
If possible, switch on an existing motor, to additionally check the interference resistance.
Carry out the extended range test before starting up your model, simulating all the control
movements occurring in practice. To guarantee a safe model operation, the range must
always be at least 50 m / 160 ft on the ground.
