Installation - GRAUPNER XR -12DXT IFS Installation And Usage Manual

1. INSTALLATION

When using the Graupner|iFS-System RF module, the transmitter's modulation output must be
set to PPM, MPLX, PPM18.
Exception: When using an Graupner|IFS receiver with more than 9 channels in combination with
a Graupner/JR transmitter, then please use mode PPM24.
1.1 Mounting the receiver
No matter which Graupner|iFS-System receiver you use, the mounting procedure is the same.
The most important thing to remember is that you must keep the antenna portion of receiver no
less than 2 inches (5 cm) from any type of large metal or wiring that is not directly coming out of
the receiver. This includes steel, carbon fiber, servos, fuel pumps, any type of wiring, etc. The
best method of mounting is to show it off! Keep the receiver separated from anything else, and
mount it out in the open so you can easily see it and get access to it.
Under no circumstance can you wrap or pass servo wires around the antenna!
Remember that wires can move under g-force, so make sure that wires can not move at all
around the receiver.
Moving wires can cause intermittent radio control.
We have found that the antenna pointing upwards gives the best results when making
approaches from far away.
The servo connection slots on the Graupner|iFS-System receivers are numbered. There is a slot
that is labeled "B". This is for a battery connection, and also used for the binding plug. (#23606
XR-12DXT has a separate bind connector).
Do not plug the power into this port backwards! The receiver will power up and appear to work,
but it will not function properly powered this way!
Power and ground are available on every numbered slot. "Signal" is the pin nearest the number.
The function for each channel is determined by the transmitter in use, and not the receiver itself.
For example, throttle control with most JR radios is on channel 1 or 6, while throttle control on
most Futaba radios is on channel 3. Throttle output would be determined by the radio and will
change with brands. Keep this mind when setting up a different transmitter.
1.2 Receiver Setup
After powering on your receiver, the STATUS LED will begin flashing red. Flashing red means
that the receiver is waiting to connect to an Graupner|iFS-System RF module (plugged into your
transmitter).
When a connection is established, the STATUS LED will light solid red.
1.3 Advanced Programming Features
Unlike other Graupner|iFS receivers, for XR-12DX, XR-12DXS and XR-12DXT there are no
advanced programming features available.
