  • Page 3 Not suitable for children under fourteen years. This receiver is not a toy! The receiver is also equipped with a telemetry function which is only available in combination with a Graupner/SJ HoTT 2.4 system. If you do not own a Graupner/SJ HoTT 2.4 system, the receiver will not work.

  • Page 4: Safety Notes

    Failure to observe the operating instructions and safety notes invalidates the guarantee. Here at Graupner we are constantly working on the further development of all our products; for this reason we are obliged to reserve the right to introduce changes to the set contents in form, technology and features.
  • Page 5 SAFETY NOTES Warning! The receiver must never be operated under the inluence of medication, alcohol, drugs etc. Caution! Any deviation from the instructions may have an adverse efect on the function and operational security of the receiver, and must be avoided under all circumstances. Caution! The operator bears full responsibility for using the receiver.
  • Page 6 Caution! Ensure that all plug-in connections are irmly seated. Do not pull on the wires when disconnecting plugs and sockets. Caution! The receiver must not make physical contact with the model’s fuselage, hull or chassis, as this would allow motor vibration and landing shocks to be transferred directly to it.

    FUNCTIONS 2.1. BINDING The Graupner/SJ HoTT 2.4 receiver must be “bound” to “its” Graupner/SJ HoTT 2.4 RF module (transmitter) before a radio link can be created between them; this process is known as “binding”. Binding is only necessary once for each combination of receiver / RF module, so the binding procedure described below only needs to be repeated if you add more receivers.

  • Page 8: Binding Multiple Receivers

    • Switch the transmitter’s RF section of in the “Basic model settings” menu. • Switch the receiver on, and press the SET button to set it to Bind mode. • Initiate binding in the transmitter’s “Basic model settings” menu. • The red receiver LED should go out within about ten seconds.

  • Page 9: Range-Checking

    The gyro system remains active in a fail-safe situation. 2.3. RANGE-CHECKING The range of your Graupner/SJ HoTT 2.4 system can be checked as described in the following instructions. We recommend that you ask a friend to help you with the procedure.

  • Page 10: Installation In The Model (Airplane)

    The model should now respond to the controls again. If this is not 100% the case, do not use the system. Contact the Graupner/SJ Service Centre in your locality and ask their advice. We recommend that you carry out a range-check before every light, simulating all the servo movements which occur in light.

    (-) is brown, the positive (+) red and the signal orange. The servo sockets of Graupner/SJ HoTT 2.4 receivers are numbered sequentially. The socket for channel 6 can also be programmed to deliver a (digital) sum signal (see section 3.2: Receiver set-up).

  • Page 13: Receiver Set-Up Menu

    The optional telemetry sensors are connected to the socket marked “T” (T/9)- Telemetry. In addition, the update is performed on this socket (see point 5). At the GR-18, the socket can be used optionally for K9. PROGRAMMING THE GENERAL RECEIVER SETTINGS The receiver can be programmed using a suitable HoTT transmitter or the SMART-BOX (Order No.

  • Page 15 Low-voltage warning (ALARM VOLT ) if the receiver voltage falls below the set value, a low-voltage warning is generated by the transmitter’s RF module in the form of the “general alarm tone”: a regular beeping at a rate of about one per second; alternatively the speech output message “Receiver voltage”.

PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES V-tail with rudder diferential Diferential is not normally necessary with this tail type. Mixer 3 is not required if you do not need rudder diferential, and TRAVEL- for mixer 2 must then be set to -100%.
  • Page 19 Delta with aileron diferential (1 aileron) In this example aileron diferential is set to 40%. Alternatively you may prefer to carry out the programming using the transmitter menu. An ‘Aileron  elevator’ mixer can be set up at the transmitter instead of ‘Free mixer 3’ at the receiver;...
  • Page 20 Only for transmitters without a butterly (crow) mixer (e.g. mx-10 HoTT) If a butterly (crow) mixer is required, you will not be able to use one of the two functions ‘diferential’ or ‘landing lap’ adjustment, as two mixers are needed for this.

  • Page 21: Assigning The Gyro Axes

    The only option is to re-install it in the model by turning it round physically. However, if your model is itted with programmable servos (e.g. Graupner DES, HVS or HBS types - see the instructions for the update program ‘Firmware_Upgrade_grStudio - then it is possible to reverse the direction of rotation at the servo itself.
  • Page 22 • Now move the stick for any control surface to full travel in one direction; in the following example we use the aileron channel. • The detected axis (aileron) is highlighted (black background). (In the receiver’s default state the value for all axes is shown as ‘+0’;...

  • Page 26: Programming Pid Correction

    correction cannot occur until a deviation from the intended value is present; if the deviation is 0, then the product is also zero. If the ampliication value is set too high, the P factor causes the model to oscillate and become unstable. I factor: integral correction (not currently implemented) D factor: deines diferential correction D = diferential: in this case the corrective output value is afected by the rate of change of the input value, i.e.
  • Page 27 P factor The P factor should always be set irst, followed by the D factor (adjustment range in each case 0 to 10). A general rule is that the larger the control surface, the smaller the P factor required. Start with a factor of 2 (default setting), and do not exceed 4 - 5 as maximum value for the normal light phase, 2 - 3 for speed, 3 - 6 for landing;...

  • Page 28: Programming The Factors

    4.2. PROGRAMMING THE FACTORS 4.2.1. Programming, transmitter with proportional controls If your HoTT transmitter is equipped with proportional controls, it is also possible to adjust the P and D factors for each axis during a light: what you might call ‘lying the settings’. You need to assign proportional controls (e.g.

  • Page 29: Programming, Transmitter Without Proportional Controls

    • Now test-ly your model and ine-tune the values one by one until your preferred stabilising efect is achieved without the model oscillating. • It may be sensible or easier to activate the gyro for one axis only at irst, and then to establish the optimum setting for that axis, rather than for several axes simultaneously.

  • Page 30: Initialising The Gyro

    4.3. INITIALISING THE GYRO After switching on the model of the gyroscope is immediately active but not yet initialized. To initialize it, you keep your model when switching quiet and straight in level l ight - the best place it on the l at ground or a l at table. After about 2 seconds, the ailerons move up and down just once.
