brands of NiMH batteries. If using NiMH packs, be especially cautious when
charging, making absolutely sure that the battery is fully charged. It is
recommended to use a charger that can display total charge capacity. Note
the number of mAh put into a discharged pack to verify it has been charged
to full capacity.
QuickConnect ™ With Brownout Detection
(Brownout Detection not available with DSMX)
Your AR9010 features QuickConnect with Brownout Detection. (Brownout
Detection not available with DSMX)
• Should an interruption of power occur (brownout), the system will reconnect
immediately when power is restored (QuickConnect).
• The LED on the receiver will flash slowly indicating a power interruption
(brownout) has occurred. (not available with DSMX)
• Brownouts can be caused by an inadequate power supply (weak battery or
regulator), a loose connector, a bad switch, an inadequate BEC when using
an Electronic speed controller, etc.
• Brownouts occur when the receiver voltage drops below 3.5 volts thus
interrupting control as the servos and receiver require a minimum of 3.5
volts to operate.
How QuickConnect Works
• When the receiver voltage drops below 3.5 volts the system drops out
(ceases to operate).
• When power is restored the receiver immediately attempts to reconnect.
• If the transmitter was left on, the system reconnects typically in about
4/100 of a second.
QuickConnect with Brownout Detection is designed to allow you to fly safely
through most short duration power interruptions, however, the root cause of
these interruptions must be corrected before the next flight to prevent a crash.
NOTICE: If a brownout occurs in flight it is vital that the cause of the
brownout be determined and corrected.
Flight Log (SPM9540 Optional)
The Flight Log is compatible with the AR9010. The Flight Log displays overall
RF link performance as well as the individual internal and external receiver link
data. Additionally it displays receiver voltage.
Using the Flight Log
After a flight and before turning off the receiver or transmitter, plug the Flight
Log into the Data port on the AR9010. The screen will automatically display
voltage e.g. 6v2= 6.2 volts.
Note: When the voltage reaches 4.8 volts or less, the screen will flash
indicating low voltage.
Press the button to display the following information:
Note: – – – (three dashed lines) will appear if the antenna is not attached.
