PPM and RSSI Output Mode
Some advanced users may wish to connect the receiver to specialist devices that take PPM and/or RSSI information. Please ensure that the device supports this mode before operating, as incorrect connections or operation could cause damage and/or physical harm.
1. Put your transmitter into link mode. Usually this is done by pressing the button on the transmitter module and turning on the transmitter.
2. Ensure that your transmitter is in non-telemetry receiver link mode. This can be done by looking on the transmitter module's status light. If it is flashing Blue, it is in the correct mode.
If it is flashing Red, you will need to change mode. To do this, press the button on the transmitter module for around 2 seconds. The status light should change between the two modes.
3. Now attach the supplied link jump lead between channel 5 and channel 3.
4. Power up the receiver.
5 While the receiver is searching for the transmitter module, the Green light on the receiver will flash slowly.
6.Once the receiver is successfully linked to the transmitter module, the Green and Red lights on the receiver will flash rapidly. This should only take a couple of seconds and is usually instant. If in doubt, try increasing the distance from the transmitter modules antenna and the receiver. It is recommended to have the receiver between 50cm and 2m away from the transmitter when binding.Notes:
When the receiver is receiving a signal from the transmitter (i.e. the Red light is lit constantly) in PPM and RSSI output mode, the Green light will also be lit.
The PPM signal is outputted on servo connector 1
The RSSI signal is outputted on servo connector 2.
Do not connect conventional servos or ESCs to the PPM and RSSI servo connector outputs. Doing so, may burn out and destroy the servo.
Some devices may need a low-pass filter or buffer on the RSSI output. Please consult the devices' instructions or manufacturer for help or advice on this.
As the PPM signal is usually used to drive the primary flight controls, servo connector channels 3, 4 and 5 will shift to become channels 5, 6 and 7 respectively to allow additional auxiliary devices to be connected.
To disable PPM and RSSI output mode, rebind the receiver as normal using bind jumper lead between channels 5 and 3.
In the event of a signal loss, by default the PPM output will stop. If a failsafe is needed, set the failsafe as in the previous section using the link jumper lead between channels 5 and 2.
