SAFETY NOTES ! Please read the instructions before using the receiver. ! Use the receiver only for the intended applications (Î 4.). ! Ensure the power supply is of adequate capacity (Î 6.). ! Observe the installation notes (Î 9.). ! Carry out regular range checks (Î 10.). 4. APPLICATION The RX-5 light M-LINK is a radio control receiver intended exclusively for use in model sport applications. It is prohibited to use it for other applications, such as man-carrying vehicles or industrial installations. The RX-5 light M-LINK was designed with minimum possible size and weight as top priority, and for technical reasons such a unit cannot offer the same reception characteristics as a larger, technically more sophisticated and more expensive receiver. In the interests of safety we recommend that you use a larger receiver wherever space permits. Under normal conditions it is certainly possible to obtain excellent reception characteristics with a small receiver such as the RX-5 light M-LINK provided that all the RC system components are carefully arranged, and the receiver aerial correctly deployed. 5. COMPATIBILITY The RX-5 light M-LINK 2.4 GHz receiver can only be used in conjunction with transmitters which use MULTIPLEX M-LINK transmission technology. As of January 2010 these are: • ROYALpro 7, 9 and 16 M-LINK. • ROYALevo or pro 7, 9 and 12 with firmware version V3.xx and the HFM4 M-LINK 2.4 GHz RF module. • PROFImc 3010, 3030 and 4000 with the HFM3 M-LINK 2.4 GHz RF module. • COCKPIT SX M-LINK. • MULTIPLEX transmitters with the HFMx M-LINK 2.4 GHz RF module. 6. POWER SUPPLY The RX-5 light M-LINK receiver works with a wide range of voltages from 3.5 V ... 9.0 V, i.e. with receiver batteries con- sisting of 4 to 6 NiXX cells or 2S LiPo / 2S LiIo batteries. ! Note: if you wish to use a five-cell (six-cell) NiXX battery, check that all the servos, gyros and other components to be connected to the system are approved by the manufacturer for use on operating voltages up to 7.5 V (9.0 V). If you wish to use a 2S LiPo (2S LiIo) pack, check that all the servos, gyros and other components to be connected to the system are approved by the manufacturer for use on up to 8.4 V (8.2 V). ! Note: ensure that the power supply is adequate A power supply system in good condition and of adequate capacity for the specific application plays an indispensable role in the safe operation of any model: • Use only high-quality receiver batteries of adequate capacity. Balance and maintain them carefully, and charge them fully. • Ensure that all cables are of adequate conductor cross- section. Keep all wiring as short as possible, and use the absolute minimum of plug / socket connections. • Use high-quality switch harnesses exclusively. • Brief collapses in the power supply voltage (lasting a few milli-seconds) have no adverse effect on the receiver. Longer voltage collapses to below 3.5 V may cause a receiver reset, resulting in a brief interruption in reception. This may be due to a receiver battery which is almost flat, too weak or defec- tive, cables of inadequate cross-section, poor-quality con- nectors or an overloaded or defective BEC system.

RECEIVER CONNECTIONS This receiver employs the UNI connector system, which is com- patible with the connector systems used by most radio control manufacturers (e.g. HiTEC, robbe/Futaba, Graupner/JR). The receiver sockets are marked as follows: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Servo sockets, channel 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. ! Note: a separate receiver battery can be connected to all five servo sockets (1 ... 5). ! When connecting the receiver battery, servos, speed controllers ... it is essential to ensure that the con-nectors are plugged in correctly, and feature compatible pin assign- ments: (see symbol on the receiver)! 8.

The analyzer was calibrated in dB above a microvolt at the output of the antenna. The resolution bandwidth was 100 kHz with an appropriate sweep speed and the video bandwidth was 300 kHz up to 1 GHz and 1 MHz with a video BW of 3 MHz above 1 GHz. When an emission was found, the table was rotated to produce the maximum signal strength. The antenna was placed in both the horizontal and vertical planes and the worst case emissions were reported. The spectrum was searched to at least the tenth (10) harmonic of the fundamental. Emissions were scanned from 30MHz to the tenth harmonic of the fundamental frequency at three places in the band. All emissions greater than 20 dB from the limit are not reported. Formula Of Conversion Factors: The field strength at 3m was established by adding the meter reading of the spectrum analyzer (which is set to read in units of dBu…
