The eye hook is precisely positioned (see Section 3.2) so that the transmitter will be perfectly balanced when a neck strap is used. To adjust the control stick length, use a 2mm Allen wrench to unlock the set screw located inside the end of the control stick. Turn the set screw counterclockwise to loosen it, then turn the knurled portion of the stick to adjust the length. Counterclockwise will lengthen the stick and clockwise will shorten it. After the control stick(s) has been adjusted to suit your flying style, tighten the set screw.

This Transmitter is a part of the Horizon Hobbies PPM "family" of Remote Control Transmitters which at this time consists of: Transmitter Model # FCC ID # F400 NET-E104 BRWNET-E104 F400EX BRWF400EX XF421EX BRWXF421EX Separate Applications for each transmitter and for the receiver are submitted as required by the Commission. The Manufacturer, Japan Remote Control Company JR, manufactures all transmitters and receivers. The PPM family of R/C systems is exported by JR to the United States of America, and several European and Asian countries. The Applicant for this Equipment Authorization, HORIZON HOBBIES, INC. will, following receipt of Grant of Equipment Authorization, import only those versions of these R/C radios which are allowed for use in the USA under the Rules and Regulations of the Federal Communications The 72 - 73 MHz version of this transmitter is the subject of this Application; these are the units which will be offered for sale to the general public. page 2 Technical Report Transmitter Model EXPERT4 FCC ID# BRWEXPERT4 1.2 Application The Model EXPERT4 R/C transmitter utilizes "Frequency Modulation" to convey the PPM encoded position of its controlsticks joysticks and toggle switches to its companion R/C receiver, where the PPM encoded pulse train is demodulated, decoded, and supplied to a number of servo-mechanisms for positioning of control surfaces, throttle etc. on the model. The Frequency-Shift-Keying of the transmitter carrier takes place in the rhythm of the PPM pulse train. Transmitter and receiver are very narrow band units; they have been designed to comply with the European requirements of 10 KHz channel spacing. As a result, they operate safety in the present 20 KHz channel spacing environment allowed at this time in the USA. 1.3 Construction The Model EXPERT4 Transmitter all consist of a plastic case. Reference is made to Fig. 5.1, Transmitter Block Diagram * control sticks and control switches * a 9.6V rechargeable NiCad battery * a commutator to sample the analog control voltages in sequence * an analog-to-digital converter ADC * a microprocessor μ μμ μp to create the PPM pulse train * a modulator driver stage * a RF power stage * a telescopic antenna This Transmitter is to be made available by the JAPAN and USA on those carrier frequencies in the 72 - 73 MHz frequency band which are at present authorized for R/C use. page 3 Technical Report Transmitter Model EXPERT4 FCC ID# BRWEXPERT4 2.0 ENCODER THEORY OF OPERATION Reference is made to Figure 5.1, Transmitter Block Diagram. The function of the encoder are to: * accept the analog voltages from the control inputs joysticks, toggle switch. * process the analog voltages to create control mixing, adding, reversing, etc., as desired by the user. * sample these voltages in a cyclic rhythm under control of the system's internal timing generator. This process is called commutation. * process these analog voltages into binary weighted digital control words by means of an Analog-to-Digital Converter ADC. * store these digital representations of the analog control input into a temporary memory RAM. * supply this serial data stream to a buffer-driver for modulation of the RF Transmitter. * provide "housekeeping" of the encoding process by means of a quarts crystal controlled internal clock. * provide supply voltages to the RF section Vcc = 9.6V battery voltage; Vreg = 6.0V regulated voltage. The entire program which controls the timing housekeeping, parallel-to-serial conversion process, and insertion of synchronization words and error detection codes is governed by a Central Processing Unit CPU under control by an internally stored program residing in Read-Only Memory ROM. The CPU, RAM and ROM are all part of a single-chip microprocessor μp. Resolution of the Analog-to-Digital conversion process is nine 9 bits for a control accuracy of 1:2 9 or 0.2 percent. page 4 Technical Report Transmitter Model EXPERT4 FCC ID# BRWEXPERT4 3.0 RF SECTION THEORY OF OPERATION 3.1 General Reference is made to Figure 5.1, Transmitter Block Diagram. The Horizon Hobbies Model EXPERT4 R/C Transmitter is a tow sticks type Transmitter. It operates on any of the R/C frequencyChannels allowed by the Commission in the 72 -73 MHz frequency band. Selection of the desired RF channel is made by Quarts crystal. This transmitter employs Frequency-Sift-Keying FSK of the carrier frequency, whereby the output frequency is either low or high due to the symmetrical FSK modulation process, the center output frequency cannot be directly measured, but must be calculated by taking the average of the high and low frequency states. ← m →← m → m = shift from center frequency m = approx. 1.8 KHz f f f low c high f low + f high f carrier = 2 The peak-to-peak deviation of the FSK signal is approximately 4 KHz "sliver modulation" Because of the unfamiliarity of the general public with the term FSK, this modulation technique is commonly named FM. page 5 Technical Report Transmitter Model EXPERT4 FCC ID# BRWEXPERT4 3.2 Block Diagram Reference is made to Figure 5.1 The up to four control potentiometers are at the right side of the schematic drawing. The control potentiometer, which is mechanica…
