Binding – Spektrum SPMAR7200BX User Manual

Page 7

The AR7200BX can be attached flat, upright or inverted under the helicopter. The

servo connector pins must always point toward the

front or rear of the helicopter. Make sure the edges of

the AR7200BX are all parallel with the corresponding

axes of the helicopter.
Y-Harnesses and Servo Extensions
Do not use amplified Y-harnesses and servo

extensions with Spektrum equipment. Only use

standard non-amplified Y-harnesses and servo

extensions. When converting existing models to

Spektrum devices, replace all amplified Y-harnesses

and servo extensions.

Binding

You must bind the receiver to the transmitter before the receiver will operate.

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID

(Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter..
To bind an AR7200BX to a DSM2 or DSMX transmitter:

1. Insert the bind plug in the BND/DAT port on the

receiver.

2. Power on the receiver (The AR7200BX can be

powered through any open port). The H LED on

the AR7200BX and external remote receiver (if

connected) should be flashing, indicating the

receiver is in bind mode.

To bind a helicopter with an electronic speed

controller that powers the receiver through the

throttle channel, insert the bind plug into the BND/DAT port in the receiver

and the ESC lead into the throttle (THRO) port.

3. Move the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the desired failsafe

positions (low throttle and neutral control positions).

4. Follow the procedures of your specific transmitter to enter Bind Mode. The

system will connect within a few seconds. Once connected, the H LED will

turn off and the AR7200BX will start the initialization process.

5. After setting up your model, rebind the system so the true low throttle

positions are set in the failsafe.

6. Remove the bind plug from the BND/DAT port on the receiver before you

power off the receiver and transmitter. Store the bind plug in a convenient

place.

NoTICE: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode

the next time the power is turned on.
