Introduction The AGX-i6S transmitter and AGX-iA6B receiver constitute a 6 channel 2.4GHz AFHDS 2A digital proportional computerized R/C system. This system supports quadcopter. 2.1 System Features The AFHDS 2A (Automatic Frequency Hopping Digital System Second Generation) developed and patented by FLYSKY is specially developed for all radio control models. Offering superior protection against interference while maintaining lower power consumption and high reliable receiver sensitivity, FLYSKY's AFHDS technology is considered to be one of the leaders in the RC market today. Bidirectional Communication Capable of sending and receiving data, each transmitter is capable of receiving data from temperature, altitude and many other types of sensors, servo calibration and i-BUS Support. Multi-channel Hopping Frequency This systems bandwidth ranges from 2.408GHz to 2.475GHz. This band is divided in 135 channels. Each transmitter hops between 16 channels (32 for Japanese and Korean versions) in order to reduce interference from other transmitters. Omni-directional Gain Antenna The high efficiency Omni-directional high gain antenna cuts down on interference, while using less power and maintaining a strong reliable connection. Unique ID Recognition System Each transmitter and receiver has it's own unique ID. Once the transmitter and receiver have been paired, they will only communicate with each other, preventing other systems accidentally connecting to or interfering with the systems operation. Low Power Consumption The system is built using highly sensitive low power consumption components, maintaining high receiver sensitivity, while consuming as little as one tenth the power of a standard FM system, dramatically extending battery life.
2.2.1 Transmitter Antenna The AGX-i6S transmitter has a built-in dual omnidirectional antenna. • Never grip the transmitter antenna during operation. It significantly degrades the RF Note signal quality and strength and may cause loss of control. Antenna 2.2.2 Mobile device mounting point Use for securing the mobile device mount. 2.2.3 Switches Switches SwA, SwB, SwC and SwD can be assigned to both auxiliary channels and other functions to enable quick control of various perameters.
2.2.7 Lanyard Eye Use for attaching a lanyard. 2.2.8 Power Switch Used for powering the system on and off. 2.2.9 USB Simulatior Function The system can be connected via a USB cable to a computer for use as a HID device. This function is automatically activated when connected to a computer and will be recognised as a standard HID controller.
Receiver Overview B/VCC CH2- 6 Antenna FCC ID:2A4OKAGX-IA6B PPM/CH1 XXX-XXXXXX MADE IN CHINA 2.3.1 Receiver Antenna The AGX-iA6B has a dual 26mm omnidirectional antenna. • For best signal quality, ensure that the receiver is mounted away from motors or metal Caution parts. 2.3.2 Status Indicator The status indicator is used to indicate the power and working status of the receiver. • Off: The power is not connected. • Lit in red: The receiver is on and working. • Flashing quickly: The receiver is binding.
Getting Started Before operation, install the battery and connect the system as instructed below. Transmitter Battery Installation Danger • Only use specified battery (X4 AA batteries). Danger • Do not open, disassemble, or attempt to repair the battery. Danger • Do not crush/puncture the battery, or short the external contacts. Danger •...
Operation Instructions After setting up, follow the instructions below to operate the system. 4.1 Power On Follow the steps below to turn on the system: 1. Check the system and make sure that: • The batteries are charged and installed properly. • The receiver is off and correctly installed. 2. Hold the power buttons until screen lights up. 3. Connect the receiver power supply to the B/VCC port on the receiver. Note • Operate with caution in order to avoid damage or injury. • Make sure that the throttle is at its lowest position and the switches are set to their up Note position.
4.4 Power Off Follow the steps below to turn off the system: 1. Disconnect the receiver power. 2. Hold the transmitter's power buttons to turn off the transmitter. • Make sure to disconnect the receiver power before turning off the transmitter. Failure Danger to do so may lead to damage or serious injury.
5. DIY Customization The system can be reconfigured to change joystick placement, knob response etc. 5.1 Throttle Bracket Installation The gimbals can have their self centering function deactivated or activated, to do so follow the steps below: • These instructions are for mode 2, steps 3-6 are for making changes to the right stick Attention shown in picture. Do not dismantle the left stick. 4. Remove the bottom of the seat assembly of the 1. Use tweezers to remove the left and right hand spring hook assembly. grips. Then use a screwdriver to remove the 4 screws marked in red.
5.2 Throttle Spring Installation The following instructions explain how to install the vertical self-centering spring. 4. Place the spring hook assembly into position and 3. Take the transmitter apart,then remove the hook the spring onto the hook located inside the screws marked in blue and remove the bracket. transmitter. 5. Secure the assembly back in its original position with the 4 screws. 2. Loosen the screws shown in fig.4 and remove the plates. 6. Throttle spring installation complete. 3. Insert the 2 dowels as shown above.
5.3 Swapping Gimbals When changing between modes 2/4 and 1/3 you will need to switch the gimbals around so that the throttle gimbal is on the correct side. 3. Replace the hand grips and insert batteries. 1. Take the transmitter apart, using a Philips screwdriver, remove the 8 screws marked in red. 4. Turn on the transmitter and enter the servo display screen to make sure everything is working as expected. 2. Swap the gimbals and rotate them 180 degrees, then line them up with the screw holes and replace the screws. (There is no need to disconnect the cables.)
5.4 Knob Bracket Installation The AGX-i6S has 2 knobs that can be changed from self-centering to non-self-centering. 4. Install the bracket shown above and secure with the screws provided. 1. Take the transmitter apart, then use a screwdriver to remove the screws marked in red. 5. Reassemble the parts keeping everything in alignment. Then replace all the screws. 2. Remove the PCB screws marked in red. 6. Place the fully assembled part back into its original position and secure with the screws. 3. Remove the knob from the potentiometer and put them in a safe place.
