4. Press and hold the bind button on the module while turning on the power
switch. the bind button will flash and within a few seconds the system will
connect. the LEDs on the receivers will go solid, indicating the system has
connected.
note: You must remove backplate to access the bind/range button.
5. Remove the bind plug and store it in a convenient place.
6. After you’ve programmed your model, it’s important to rebind the system so
the true low throttle and neutral control surface positions are programmed.
• Before Binding All Servo Outputs Must be Assigned
In the Servo Menu under Assignment all channels that you wish to use must
be assigned before binding. this will place the transmitter in PPM/9, PPM/12
mode etc. If the number of channels being used is ever changed the system
must be rebound.
• + Positive Shift Must be Selected
In the Memory menu under Properties, + (plus) must be selected in the Shift
column
• The system Must be in FM/PPM mode
this occurs automatically when the Spektrum module is plugged in. to confirm
press the up or Down arrows to access the Modulation screen. FM/ PPM
Should be displayed.
Software Versions Supported:
V1.x
V2.x
Binding
All of Spektrum’s aircraft receivers feature a unique SmartSafe ™ failsafe system,
while the AR12000 features two types of failsafe programming: SmartSafe and
Preset Failsafe.
SmartSafe
SmartSafe is automatically selected during the standard binding procedure and is
ideal for electric aircraft as well as most gas- and glow-powered aircraft.
How SmartSafe Works
When the Receiver is Powered On without a Transmitter Signal
If you turn on the AR12000 before you turn on the transmitter, SmartSafe
prevents the throttle from functioning and drives all other channels to their preset
positions.
When there is a Loss of Signal in Flight
If the receiver loses the transmitter’s signal in flight, or any other time after a
successful connection has been made, SmartSafe sets the throttle to the position
it was in during the binding process. All other channels hold the positions they
were in at signal loss.
Preset Failsafe
Preset Failsafe allows you to set the specific control positions for all channels
to go to should you encounter signal loss in flight or at any other time after a
successful connection has been made. Preset Failsafe is typically used to prevent
“fly aways” in high-performance models by deploying spoilers in sailplanes or
putting gas- and glow-powered models into a slight turn at reduced throttle.
Programming SmartSafe
(All Spektrum Aircraft Receivers)
During the binding process, the bind plug is left in throughout the
process and is removed only after the receiver connects to the transmitter. After
the connection is made, confirmed by operating the servos, the bind plug can be
removed. the receiver is now programmed for SmartSafe.
Programming Preset Failsafe
(AR12000, AR12100, AR9300, AR9200, AR9100, AR9000 and
AR7100/R SPM Receivers Only)
During the binding process the bind plug is inserted in the bind port or in the
charge jack, then the receiver is powered up. the LEDs in each receiver should
blink, indicating that the receiver is in bind mode.
Now before binding the
receiver to the transmitter and with the receiver in bind mode, remove
the bind plug. the LEDs will still be blinking. With the control sticks and
switches in the desired failsafe positions, bind the transmitter to the receiver by
pressing and holding the bind buttons on the back of the transmitter/module and
turning on the transmitter. the system should connect in less than 15 seconds.
the receiver is now programmed for preset failsafe.
note: Failsafe positions are stored via the stick and
switch positions on the transmitter during binding.
