5.9 Configuring Auxiliary Receiver Inputs and Servo Outputs

The Vector lets you configure several different auxiliary inputs (for transmitter mixed second aileron and other
secondary control surfaces) and for additional Vector control inputs.

Also, for fixed wing models, the Vector lets you configure up to two auxiliary servo outputs, for secondary
servos.

5.9.1 Configuring the Auxiliary Input Channel (for non-serial Rx inputs)

For serial Rx modes (SPPM and S.BUS™), these inputs are mapped automatically when

the Serial Rx Wizard was run, so this step can be skipped.

With standard receiver mode (not serial receiver modes), you can configure the “Aux” input of
the receiver harness to be one of the following:

Gain knob for adjusting the stabilizer gain in flight

Submode input for additional flight mode access

Flaps, Second Aileron, Elevator, or Rudder (with transmitter mixing).

Motor Kill switch

To configure the input, navigate to the “New Airframe Checklist”, and select the “Set Up Aux Inputs/Outputs”
menu item. Then, select the “Aux Input Function(nonserial)” menu item and set the input as desired.

Remember to connect the Aux receiver harness input to the correct output on your receiver!

5.9.2 Configuring the Vector Auxiliary Output Channels (Fixed wing only)

For fixed wing models, the Vector’s two auxiliary outputs can be configured for Second Aileron, Elevator,
and/or Second Rudder.

If you don’t have secondary control surfaces, or you selected a mixed secondary channel in the “Tx

Mixed Dual Contrl Surfaces” menu, you can skip this step.

If your transmitter does the mixing for these auxiliary channels, the appropriate inputs need to be mapped as
described above. If you want the Vector to do the mixing, do not select an input corresponding
to that channel. Instead, just select the correct output as described below.

To configure the outputs, navigate to the “New Airframe Checklist”, and select the “Set Up Aux
Inputs/Outputs” menu item. Then, select the “Aux 1 Output Channel Functon” or “Aux 2 Output
Channel Functon” menu item and set the output as desired.

If you find that you need to have an output channel reversed, do that with the “Reverse Aux 1
Output?” or “Reverse Aux 2 Output?” menu items.

For multirotors, the auxiliary output channels are set automatically, if needed.
