RECEIVER BOX: MAINTAINING A WATERTIGHT SEAL
Removing and Installing Radio Gear
The unique design of the receiver box allows the removal and
installation of the receiver without losing the ability to maintain a
watertight seal in the box. The patent-pending wire clamp feature
gives you the ability to also install aftermarket radio systems and
maintain the watertight features of the receiver box.
Removing the Receiver
1. To remove the cover, remove the two 3x8mm button-head
cap screws.
2. To remove the receiver from the box, carefully pull it out (it is
secured by servo tape) and set to the side. The antenna wire is
still inside the clamp area and cannot be removed yet.
3. Remove the wire clamp by removing the two 2.5x8mm
cap screws.
4. Unplug the servo cables from the receiver and remove
the receiver.
Receiver Installation
1. Always install the wires into the receiver box before installing the
receiver.
2. Install the antenna wire and the servo
cables into the receiver box.
3. Arrange the wires neatly using the wire
guides in the receiver box (A). The excess
wire will be bundled inside the receiver
box. Label which wire is for which
channel.
4. Apply a small bead of silicone grease
(part #1647) to the wire clamp (B).
5. Install the wire clamp and tighten the
two 2.5x8mm cap screws securely.
6. Using double-sided adhesive foam tape,
install the receiver into the box and plug
the wires into the receiver (C). Refer to
page 12 for the wiring diagram.
Note: For best performance, it is recommended that the receiver
be installed in the original orientation as shown.
7. Make sure the box light pipe is aligned with the receiver LED.
Make sure the O-ring is properly seated into the groove in the
receiver box so that the cover will not pinch it or damage it in any
way.
8. Install the cover and tighten the two 3x8mm button-head cap
screws securely.
9. Inspect the cover to make sure that the O-ring seal is not visible.
