User Manual
Thank you for purchasing the Graupner HoTT 2.4 System Please read through this entire manual before
you attempt the installation and usage of your Graupner HoTT 2.4 System!
These operating instructions are part of this product. They contains important notes to the operation and
handling. Please take this into consideration when you pass on the product to third parties. Neglect of
the operating instructions and the safety instructions lead to expiring the warranty.
Graupner constantly work on the advancement of all remote control systems; changes of the scope of deli-
very in form, technology and equipment we must reserve ourselves therefore. Please have understanding
for the fact that from data and illustrations of this operating instructions no requirements can be derived.
Please keep these instructions for further reference!
1. GENERAL NOTE
When switching on or adjusting the radio control system it is essential to keep the transmitter aerial at
least 15 cm away from the receiver aerials at all times. If the transmitter aerial is too close to the receiver
aerials, the receiver will be overloaded, causing the green LED starts fl ashing. The transmitter responds
by emitting a beep once every second; the red LED also goes out. The radio control system is now in
Fail-Safe mode.
If this should occur, simply increase the distance between the aerials until the audible warning signal
ceases, and the red LED on the transmitter lights up again; at the same time the green LED on the
receiver should glow constantly.
2. FUNCTIONS
2.1. Binding
When you wish to use the Graupner HoTT 2.4 GHz receiver with a particular transmitter, the fi rst step
must always be to “bind” the unit to “its” Graupner HoTT 2.4 GHz RF module (transmitter). This “binding”
procedure only needs to be carried out once for each combination of receiver and RF module. The units
supplied in the set are already bound to each other at the factory, i.e. the binding procedure described in
the following section only needs to be carried out when you wish to use an additional receiver. However,
it can also be repeated at any time if required, e.g. after changing transmitters. When binding is required,
this is the procedure:
• Switch the transmitter and receiver on.
• Locate the BIND / RANGE button on the back of the transmitter, and hold it pressed in while you
press and hold the SET button on the receiver. Both LEDs on the back of the transmitter now glow
constantly, and the green LED on the receiver fl ashes.
• If the green fl ashing LED on the receiver begins to glow permanently within about ten seconds,
this indicates that the binding process is complete. You can now release both buttons, and your
transmitter / receiver combination is ready for use.
• However, if the green LED on the receiver continues to fl ash for longer than ten seconds, then the
binding process has failed. If this should occur, repeat the whole procedure.
2.2. Binding“ multiple receivers in one model
If required, it is also possible to bind multiple receivers to the transmitter for a particular model. The fi rst
step is to bind each receiver individually using the procedure already described.
When the system is in use, the receiver which is switched on fi rst is the Master receiver. Any telemetry
sensors installed in the model must be connected to this unit, as only the Master receiver transmits
sensor data using the downlink channel. The second and all further receivers operate in parallel with the
Master receiver but in Slave mode, with the downlink channel switched off.
The control functions can also be distributed amongst multiple receivers; this is carried out using the
Channel Mapping function of the SMART-BOX (Order No. 33700). In the same way it is possible to as-
sign one control function to multiple receiver outputs; a typical example would be the use of two servos
for each aileron instead of only one, etc.

2.3. Fail-Safe function
In its default state (as delivered) the receiver is set to “Hold” mode, i.e. if a fail-safe situation occurs, all
the servos connected to it maintain the last position detected as valid. In this mode the green LED on
the receiver starts fl ashing when interference occurs, and the red LED on the transmitter goes out. The
transmitter also starts beeping about once per second as an audible warning.
You can exploit the safety potential of the fail-safe option by at least programming the throttle channel to
respond to a fail-safe situation: the throttle channel of an engine-powered model should be set to idle,
the throttle channel of an electric-powered model to “stop”, and the throttle channel of a model helicopter
to “Hold”. If interference should occur, these settings will help prevent the model fl ying out of control,
possibly causing personal injury or property damage.
Please refer to the appropriate section in your RC system instructions for the procedure.

3. RECEIVER
3.1 Connections
Plug the servos into the row of sockets on the right-hand end of the receiver. The connector system is
polarised; note the small chamfer on one edge. Never use force - the plugs should engage easily and
fully. The socket polarity is also marked on the case: brown wire (-), red (+) and orange (signal).
The servo sockets of the Graupner-HoTT 2.4 receiver are numbered. The socket marked “- +/B” is
intended for the battery. If necessary, a servo can be connected to this socket in parallel with the power
supply; a Y-lead (Order No. 3936.11) is required for this.
t is also possible to program channel 6 for the sum signal using the SMART-BOX (Order No. 33700).
This is important for certain optional devices which require this signal.
Servo sockets
Telemetry socket
(channel 5)
Power supply for receiver 33506
When using High Power servos, connect the receiver power supply/s preferably to the vertical ports of
the receiver. If necessary, the servos can be connected to this sockets in parallel with the power supply;
a Y-lead (Order No. 3936.11) is required for this.
When using a dual power supply, use the sockets on the outside:
Receiver 33506 (GR-12): Channel 1 and 6 (or 2 and 5)
The socket marked “5” - channel 5 - is intended for the optional telemetry sensors and is used for loading
fi rmware updates in conjunction with the USB interface. When using the receiver GR-12S (Order No.
33505) the adapter cable Order No. 23048 is also needed.
Note: with telemetry sensors connected to socket 5, servos will not longer work at this output!
3.2. Low voltage warning
If the receiver voltage falls below 3.8 V, the transmitter’s RF module generates a low voltage warning in
the form of a “general alarm sound”: a steady beeping at intervals of about one second.
Channel 1 and 6
3.3. Temperature warning
If the receiver temperature falls below -10° C or exceeds +70° C, the transmitter’s RF module generates
a temperature warning in the form of a “general alarm sound”: a steady beeping at intervals of about
one second.
4. FIRMWARE UPDATE GRAUPNER-HOTT 2.4 RECEIVER 33505 / 33506
Firmware updates for the transmitter RF module or receiver can be transferred via the DATA or telemetry
interface in conjunction with a PC running Windows XP, Vista or 7. For this you also require the USB
interface, Order No. 7168.6, and the adapter lead, Order No. 7168.6A, which are available separately.
When using the receiver GR-12S (Order No. 33505) the adapter cable Order No. 23048 is also nee-
ded.
The programs and fi les required for this are available from www.graupner.de in the Download area for
the corresponding products.
Install the Firmware Update Utility Graupner and the USB drivers on your computer. Check the system
requirements!
The fi rst step is to cut through the central red wire in the adapter lead,
Order No. 7168.6A, then connect the lead to the USB interface, Order
No. 7168.6. This socket is also polarised; note the small chamfer on one
edge. Never use force - the plug should engage easily and fully.
4.1. Receiver
Receiver GR-12 (Order No. 33506):
Connect the adapter lead to the socket Channel 5 of the receiver, as
shown in the illustration. This socket is also polarised; note the small
chamfer on one edge. Never use force - the plug should engage easily
and fully.
The black wire (-) must be on top, the white wire (T) down.
Receiver GR-12S (Order-No. 33505): the adapter cable Order No. 23048
is also needed.
4.2. Update procedure
Ensure that the adapter lead is confi gured as shown in the illustrations, and is connected correctly to
the transmitter or receiver.
Start the Graupner Firmware Update Utility.
Under [COM Port Setup] select the correct COM port, i.e. the
one to which the USB lead is connected. If you are not sure of
this, press the button „Search“ and select in the pop-up window
„Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge“ and press „OK“.
Baud Rate: 19200.
Under [Interface Type] click on Signal 2:Vcc3:Gnd.
Now click on the “Browse” button and select the folder con-
taining the previously loaded fi rmware fi le ending in *.bin. If
everything is correct, the fi le will appear in the corresponding
window.
The fi rmware fi les are encoded in product-specifi c form, i.e. if
you accidentally select a fi le which does not match the product (e.g. transmitter update fi le instead of
receiver fi le), then the pop-up window “Product code error” will appear, and you will not be able to start
the update procedure.

Press the “Program” button in the software. Wait briefl y until you see movement in the progress bar. This
make take up to fi ve seconds, depending on the computer.
Receiver: press the SET button, and switch the receiver on while you hold it pressed in.
After a few seconds the Status screen displays the message
“Found target device…”; you can now release the button, and
the fi rmware update process commences.
If the device is not recognised, if the pop-up window “Target de-
vice ID not found” appears, or if the process fails before 100%
is reached, you must restart the update procedure. Repeat all
the steps as described above.
The Status display and the Progress bar show the progress of
the fi rmware update. The update is completed when the mes-
sage “Complete…100%” or “Complete!!” appears.
During the update process both LEDs on the transmitter glow
constantly. When it is complete, the red LED goes out and you
will hear a brief confi rmation melody. The green LED on the
receiver also light up; when the process is complete, the green
LED starts fl ashing.
Switch your transmitter / receiver off, and disconnect the ad-
apter lead.
Caution: after completing an update process, you must initialise the device before using it, i.e.
reset it to the factory default values.
Initialisation:
Transmitter: To initialise the system, i.e. to reset it to the factory default settings, locate the BIND /
RANGE button on the back of the transmitter, hold it pressed in while you switch the transmitter on, then
release the BIND / RANGE button again.
Receiver: Press and hold the SET button on the receiver, switch it on, and release the SET button
again. After about two or three seconds the green LED on the receiver lights up to confi rm that your radio
control system has been re-initialised.
Please note:
The initialisation procedure erases ALL the settings you have entered. Where necessary, you will need
to program your preferred settings again.
When initialisation is complete, the transmitter will be in Fail-Safe set-up mode. You can therefore imme-
diately continue by programming your fail-safe settings.
If you previously set your transmitter’s Country setting to “France” mode, you must also re-enter the
Country setting.
Please refer to the appropriate section in your RC system instructions for the procedure.
Any settings you have entered using the SMART-BOX are also lost when you initialise the recei-
ver. If you carry out a receiver fi rmware update, you will need to re-enter these settings.
