Receiver (receiver antenna)
Receiver vibration-proofing/waterproofing
ｇ Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire.
ｇ Do not bundle the receiver antenna wire together with the motor controller lead wire.
ｇ Keep the receiver antenna wire at least 1cm away from motor, battery, and other wiring carrying heavy current.
ｇ Do not use a metal receiver antenna holder on a plate made of metal, carbon, or other conductive material.
ｅ Install the receiver antenna holder as close as possible to the receiver.
If the antenna wire is cut, bundled, or routed near a noise source, the receiving sensitivity will drop, the running (sailing)
range will decrease, and you may lose control of the model.
*Noise is transmitted through metal, carbon, and other conductive material, so keep the receiver antenna wire away from such parts.
(Car)
ｅ Vibration-proof the receiver by wrapping it in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material
and mount it with thick double-sided tape.
ｅ When using the receiver holder supplied with the model kit, mount the holder to the chassis
through a rubber grommet.
(Boat)
ｅ Vibration-proof the receiver by wrapping it in foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material.
Also waterproof the receiver by sealing it in a plastic bag.
If the receiver is exposed to strong vibration and shock, it will operate erroneously due to the invasion of water drops
and you may lose control of the model.
Screw
Mechanical plate
Nut (as required)
Receiver holder
Damper
When using the receiver holder sup-
plied with the kit, install the receiver
through a rubber grommet.
Foam rubber, etc.
Wrap the receiver in foam rubber or other
vibration-absorbing material. Do not use
hard material. Hard material does not
have a vibration-proofing affect.
Mechanical plate
Thick double-
sided tape
When mounting the receiver with double-sided tape,
do not use a stiff tape. Stiff tape does not have a vibra-
tion-proofing affect.
Antenna
Install the receiver as far away from battery, motor con-
troller, motor, silicon cord and other noise sources. Keep
it away from the antenna wire, in particular.
Antenna holder
Install the antenna holder as close as possible to the
receiver. The surplus antenna wire from the receiver
to the antenna holder is affected by noise. Do not use
a metal antenna holder on a plate made of metal, car-
bon, or other conductive material.
Antenna wire does
not touch the plate.
