DSMX technology, the R921X instills confidence in the most challenging RF environments. The JR R921X allows the use of an optional Flight Log Data Recorder (JRPA145). The Flight Log plugs into the data port and provides quality of RF link data of the previous flight, allowing the confirmation of the operational performance of the systems.
R921X Binding Instructions The R921X receiver must be bound to the transmitter before it will operate. Binding is the process of teaching the receiver the specific code of the transmitter or transmitter module so it will connect only to that specific transmitter. Once bound, the receiver will only connect...
Note: To bind an aircraft with an electronic speed controller that powers the receiver through the throttle channel (BEC), insert the bind plug into the battery port and proceed to Step #2. The R921X features two types of fail-safe: SmartSafe Fail-safe ™...
Standard Range Testing Before each flying session and especially with a new model, it is important to perform a range check. All JR aircraft transmitters incorporate a range testing system which, when activated, reduces the output power, allowing a range check.
Advanced Range Testing 1. Plug a Flight Log (JRPA145, optional) into the data port in the R921X receiver and turn on the system (transmitter and receiver). 2. Advance the Flight Log until F- frame losses are displayed, by pressing the button on the flight log.
Flight Log (JRPA145)—Optional for R921X Receiver The Flight Log is compatible with the R921X receiver. The Flight Log displays overall RF link performance as well as the individual internal and external receiver link data. Additionally it displays receiver voltage. Using the Flight Log After a flight and before turning off the receiver or transmitter, plug the Flight Log into the Data port on the R921X receiver.
While R921X receivers’ minimum operational voltage is 3.5 volts, it is highly recommended the system be tested per the guidelines below to a minimum acceptable voltage of 4.8 volts during ground testing. This will provide head room to compensate for battery discharging or if the actual flight loads are greater than the ground test loads.
