r6m rEcEIvEr

The R6M receiver is a precision electronic device forming the heart of your control system. It should be handled
carefully and protected from moisture, vibration and dust.
It has been designed to operate with small lightweight JP EnErG servos in a light duty environments, e.g. Park
Flyer aircraft, JP Twister co-axial helicopters. It should be noted that some model aircraft installations, for
example, those involving retractable undercarriage, flaps, etc, may impose high current loads/drain on receiver
and batteries. Therefore, always perform careful ground tests on your airborne equipment BEFORE flying and
always perform battery and circuit current checks after connecting servos to control surfaces or aircraft fixtures.
Note the observed current consumption under idle/running conditions and check that battery and circuit capacity
are sufficient for safe flight at all times under all conditions. If in doubt, run high current load servos from a
separate battery pack.
Take particular care of the gold-plated receiver pins when attaching or disconnecting connectors.

R6M DEPLOyMENT

The receiver should be secured and mounted in protective foam (JP No 5508000 not supplied) to protect and
cushion it in the event of impact or vibration: The electronics are sensitive to moisture or damp. Do not expose
the receiver to damp or wet conditions.
When installed in a model the aerial should be deployed perpendicular to the rear face of the receiver. The
receiver aerial is fragile. Do not expose it to vibration, stretching or contact with any object. Ensure that the
receiver aerial is arranged as in the picture below:

RECEIVER CONNECTIONS

The lower gold pin is negative, the centre pin is positive and the upper pin is signal.
No physical polarisation of connectors is provided therefore check carefully before making connections to the
receiver.
