Plugging in the Servos
Plug the servo leads into the appropriate ports in the PowerSafe. You are
now ready to bind the system.
Important- Y-Harnesses and Servo Extensions
When using Y-harnesses or servo extensions, it’s important to use
standard non-amplified Y-harnesses and servo extensions as this
can/will cause the servos to operate erratically or not function at all.
Amplified Y-harnesses were developed several years ago to boost
the signal for some older PCM systems and should not be used
with Spektrum equipment. Note that when converting other models
to Spektrum be certain that all amplified Y-harnesses and/or servo
extensions are replaced with conventional, non-amplified versions.
The JR PCM Y-Harness with Amplifier (JRPA133) is not compatible with
the AR9100 and should not be used.
Note: In order for the system to operate one remote receiver must be plugged into
receiver port A and a second receiver must be plugged into any other port. When
binding the PowerSafe with two or three remote receivers, if a third or forth remote
receiver is added, the system must be re-bound to recognize the additional remote.
It’s necessary to bind the AR9100 to the transmitter so that the AR9100 will
only recognize that specific transmitter, ignoring signals from any other
sources. If the PowerSafe is not bound to the transmitter, the system will
not operate. During binding the servo’s failsafe positions are stored.
How To Bind the PowerSafe
1. With the system hooked up and all remote receivers attached as
described previously, insert the bind plug in the DATA/BIND port in
the PowerSafe.
Binding
2. Turn on the soft switch. Note that the LEDs on all receivers should be
flashing indicating that the receiver is ready to bind.
3. Establish the desired failsafe stick positions, normally low throttle
and flight controls neutral.
4. Follow the procedures of your transmitter to enter it into bind mode.
The system will connect within a few seconds. The LEDs on all
receivers should go solid, indicating the system has connected.
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.
