3. First steps, operating
a) Connecting
First plug all the servos into the desired channels; the choice of
sequence is left up to you. For example, input 4 corresponds to
output 4.
CAUTION: do not plug in unmatched servos at this stage: see set-up
note f)!
Connect the receivers using the sixteen patch-leads supplied in the
set. Power is fed to the receivers through these leads. If you wish
to use only one receiver, use only socket bank "1" on the Champion,
and use only seven leads for the connection. As far as the RRS
function is concerned, no further adjustments are required.
For two-receiver operation please see point e) of the set-up notes.
Now connect the SensorSwitch to the appropriate socket. Note that
the ribbon cable must face up when connected. If your model is
subject to severe vibration, we recommend supporting the ribbon
cable at a minimum of one point to avoid the risk of the connector
falling out. This would have no effect on the switched state of the
backer, but would prevent you switching the system off.
f you wish, the external ultra-bright LEDs can now be connected.
We strongly advise you to connect these, and mount them in the
fuselage side, as they alert you to battery problems in flight.
The batteries are connected to the backer's integral MPX sockets.
We recommend the use of PowerBox Systems batteries, which are
available with capacities of 1500, 2800 and 4000 mAh. If you prefer
to use batteries of another make, or packs you have made up
yourse f, please take very great care over polarity; check twice to
be on the safe side. Connecting a battery with reversed polarity will
instantly ruin the backer's regulators. In order to minimise power
losses the circuit does not include reverse polarity protection. The
+ indication is printed on the case cover.
