Page 9: Ar631 Receiver - Safe Setup
AR631 RECEIVER – SAFE SETUP ® Setting up SAFE Technology on the AR631 Receiver takes place in Forward Programming. 1. Complete the AS3X setup and verify operation in flight. 2. Forward Programming Setup: To add SAFE flight stabilization the Flight Modes on the receiver need to be configured. -

c. If the airplane oscillates, immediately slow it down and reduce gain. Take note of which flight mode you are in and which axis the aircraft oscillates around. You can increase or decrease the base gain values of each axis separately for each flight mode within the Forward Programming menu after landing. - Page 11 TIP: If you have not completed the First Time SAFE Setup, you will not see any SAFE related options on the F-Mode Setup Screens. c. SAFE Flight Modes have an AS3X gain and a SAFE gain for pitch and roll axis. Both of these values are used for SAFE and may be tuned independently.
- Page 12 ADDING FLIGHT MODES OUTSIDE OF FORWARD PROGRAMMING (IN THE TRANSMITTER) Flight Modes outside of forward programming are set up in the main transmitter menu and are separate from Flight Modes set up within forward programming. Flight Modes in the transmitter tie together transmitter-based features like dual rates and expo, selected channels and positions, trim, and voice/sound features.
- Page 13 (AS3X) System Setup Select Forward Programming -> Gyro Settings -> System Settings -> • Relearn Servo Settings can be accessed if any changes are made to the model configuration outside of Forward Programming. If any changes are made to servo reversing, travel, sub-trim, wing type or tail type, you can execute this function instead of restoring factory defaults and redoing the entire setup.

Select this option to re-instate the model file saved into backup. • Save to Backup The AR631 can store a second model setup file for backup. Use this option if you want to store the settings you have while you test setup changes. -
Page 15: Channel Limitations
(Optional: Thr to Pitch) CHANNEL LIMITATIONS The AR631 can use up to seven extra channels for AS3X and SAFE functions; one for Flight Mode selection, one for Panic Mode, and up to five for Gain. You may use any channel up to 20 that is not a control surface or throttle for these functions, and you do not need to use channels 5 and 6, keeping those channels and ports on the receiver open for normal servo operation. -
Page 16: Flight Log
If your system displays a hold, diagnose the cause and resolve the issue before flying again. It is normal to see a hold logged if you power OFF your transmitter and back ON. IMPORTANT: The Spektrum Flight Log (SPM9540) is not compatible with the AR631 receiver. -
Page 17: Range Testing
ADVANCED RANGE TESTING A telemetry-equipped Spektrum Transmitter is required for the advanced range test. This test will confirm if the AR631 is sufficent for your application. This advanced range check allows the RF performance of the receiver to be evaluated in different orientations to search for reflections or shadows affecting the control signal. -
