Connection socket for flight simulator or T/P systems
The standard two-pin DSC socket on the transmitter functions
as a TRAINER or PUPIL socket as well as an interface for flight
simulators or other external RF modules.
To ensure a correct DSC connection, observe the following:
Attention
When your transmitter is directly connected to a desktop computer
by a connecting cable (DSC cable) and/or a computer interface is
connected to your simulator, the transmitter may be destroyed
by electrostatic discharge. This type of connection should therefore
only be used if you protect yourself from electrostatic discharge
while operating the simulator by wearing a commercially available
grounding armband. Graupner therefore strongly recommends only
using wireless simulators.
Perform any necessary adaptations in the menu.
When using the transmitter with a flight simulator or during the
teacher-pupil operation, leave the transmitter always OFF. Only
in this position even after connecting the DSC cable the RF
module of the transmitter remains inactive. Connect now the
DSC cable and switch the transmitter on.
The status LED is constantly red and in the display will appear
DSC.
In the upper display appears the transmitter logo.
The transmitter is now ready for use.
Note
If the transmitter is used as teacher transmitter it has to be switched
on before connecting the proper cable.
Connect the other end of the connecting cable to the device
while observing the relevant operating instructions.
S1036.77_jh_V1_de

Note
Make sure that all the plugs are securely inserted in the respective
sockets, and only use the provided plug-in connections with a 2-pin
jack plug on the DSC side.
In the "Transmitter setting" submenu, you can set one of the
following modes in the "DSC output" line depending on the
number of functions to be transmitted: PPM10, PPM16, PPM18
and PPM24. Default setting: PPM10.
Memory cards
Copmatible memory cards:
 micro SD up to 2 GB
 micro SDHC up to 32 GB
Our recommendation: For a normal use a memory card with a
storage capacity of up to 4 GB is sufficient.
Inserting and removing the memory card step by step:
Switch off the transmitter.
The memory card slot is located in the left provided connections
of the transmitter.
To insert:
Push the SD card as deep as you need to win the spring resistance of the slot. (contacts upward)

Sticks conversion
Neutralization
Both control sticks can be set from neutralizing to non-neutralizing.
Neutralizing step by step:
Locate in the left control stick gimbal the screw surrounded by
a white circle in the picture.
Turn the screw toward the inside of the transmitter until the relevant control stick can move freely from stop to stop, or turn it
outward until the control stick resets itself independently.
Note
The right control stick gimbal is specular to the left one, so that here
the screw is located right under the middle.
Brake spring and ratchet
The outboard screw of the two marked in the figure adjust the
braking force.
The inboard screw adjusts the strength of the ratchet for the
respective control stick.
Note
The right control stick gimbal is specular to the left one, so that here
the screws are located left on the top side.
Control sticks centering force
VERTICAL
The control sticks' restoring force can also be adjusted. The
adjustment is located next to the return springs.
By turning the respective adjust screw the spring force can be
adjusted.
HORIZONTAL
Right turn = return harder
Left turn = return softer
Control sticks length adjustment
Length of both control stick can be adjusted. Hold down the
bottom half of the knurled grip, and loosen the screwed connection by turning the top part:
You can now lengthen or shorten the control stick by screwing
it up or down. Then clamp the top and bottom part of the grip
by rotating them against each other.
