EN
Wired Trainer
The 4 wired trainer modes include:
Inhibit
In Inhibit, the slave
transmitter must have
the same programming
as the master transmitter
(e.g., servo reversing,
travel adjust, sub-trim,
trims).
Programmable Master
Programmable mode
enables you to program
the master transmitter
to transfer any or all
individual channels
when you activate the
trainer switch. This mode
is ideal for beginners
learning to control individual channels while the master transmitter
maintains control of all other channels.
The slave transmitter should be in Inhibit mode, if available. The
Master and Slave transmitters MUST have the same programming.
Pilot Link Master
Pilot Link Master
enables you to program
the master transmitter
to transfer any or all
individual channels
when you activate the
trainer switch. Pilot
Link Master is ideal for
complex models, as the master transmitter can maintain control
of all secondary functions—for example fl ight modes, retracts,
fl aps and brakes. Secondary functions can be individually assigned
to the Slave transmitter as necessary. It is not necessary to have
model programming in the slave transmitter.
It may be necessary for the slave transmitter to be in Inhibit mode
to allow trim changes to transfer over from the master transmitter.
Slave
Use Slave mode when
using the DX18 as a
slave transmitter and
Pilot Link is active in the
master transmitter. Wired Trainer Operation
1. Bind the master transmitter to the model.
2. Connect the trainer cord (SPM6805) to the back of the master
transmitter.
3. Make sure the master and slave transmitter battery packs are
fully charged.
4. Make sure the slave transmitter is powered off. The slave
transmitter receives power when you connect the trainer cord.
5. Connect the trainer cord to the slave transmitter.
6. The slave transmitter screen displays information but does not
send a signal to the model.
7. Press the trainer button on the master transmitter to transfer
model control from the master to the slave.
8. While moving the trainer switch between the off and on
positions, watch for movement on the control surfaces. Adjust
the trims as necessary before fl ying.
9. Release the trainer button and the master transmitter regains
control of the model.
Master Override
The Master Override feature enables the instructor to immediately
regain control of the model by moving the control sticks. After you
activate Master Override, the slave transmitter cannot control the
model until you reset the trainer switch. To reset the trainer switch:
1. Move the trainer switch to the OFF position.
2. Move the trainer switch to the ON position to activate the slave
transmitter.
Trainer
The DX18 features a programmable trainer function with 4 wired trainer modes and 2 wireless trainer modes. The transmitter assigns
the trainer function to Switch I.
