Installation of the transmitter batteries: Use only 8cell/9.6V rechargeabl e battery pack in the Commander series transmitter. An 8cells NiMH rechargeable battery pack and wall charger are enclosed in the box. Please refer the following pictures to install the rechargeable battery pack into the transmitter. Receiver battery replacement/installation Insert 4 fresh AA cells into the receiver battery holder. Make sure the batteries are loaded in the correct polarity order. Maintain the battery contacts in the same way as described in previous section. Insert the switch harness plug into the receiver socket marked "BATT" Battery cover While pressing this part Ni-MH Battery Pack HELPFUL HINT You may also use the NiCd or NiMH rechargeable cells. They can be charged through the charge jack located on the side of the transmitter. The ACE 2946 Hi-MH battery pack / flat & 2970/2971/ 2972 Radio battery conversion kits are recommended. Cord to transmitter external charging jack 33 Radio installation Servos Before installing your radio into your model, connect the receiver, servos, and switch harness/battery pack as shown. In addition to checking for proper operation, this "bench test" will help you to become familiar with the operation of your radio. After connecting the model component s, extend both the transmitter and receiver antennas to their full length. Begin by turning on the transmitter, and then turn on the receiver switch. Make sure that all servos and trims levers are operating, and take a few moments to "play" with your system. After completion of your bench testing, turn off the receiver, followed by the transmitter. Mount the servos as recommende d in your model's instruction manual, Follow these general guidelines for servo mounting. Receiver installation Note the location of the receiver in your model's instruction manual or building plans. NOTE We assume that all areas where large currents are flowing are generating noise, and noise is a type of radio wave. It is important to reduce the possibility of interference by locating a fine position for receiver and antenna. HELPFUL HINT Switch Harness Always install the receiver as far as possible from the motor, ESC, NiCd/NiMH batteries, motor wire or other noise sources. Especially, do not route the motor wire next to the receiver, crystal or receiver antenna. Noise suppression capacitors should be installed on almost all motors. If the proper capacitors are not installed, high frequency noise will reduce range and cause loss of control along with various other problems. Make sure your motor is equipped with noise suppressi on diodes or capacitors. Receiver Used on gas powered model WARNING Always follow the "transmitter on first, off last" procedure. A good way to remember this is to remind yourself to always have your receiver "listening" to the transmitter. If you turn the transmitter off prior to turning off the receiver, the receiver has nothing to "listen to", and this condition can sometimes damage the servo output gear train because of "jitters" or excessive servo travel beyond normal limits. NOTE FET servo wire (7.2V) can also generate noise, position them as far away as possible from the receiver and the antenna. Position the crystal side at the top instead of the bottom side. Please refer to the following diagrams. Many modelers prefer to install their receiver into the model at this point, with no further protection. Another sizeable group of modelers prefer to go a step further, and place the foam-wrapped receiver into a plastic bag, secured with a rubber band around the receiver case as well as the servo and battery wires. The advantage of the plastic wrap is the protection against fuel or oil in the event of a major crash. The disadvantage of the plastic, especially if you run the model in very hot and humid conditions or wet days, is that moisture can accumulate inside the receiver. Crystal Space available in your model will determine how much padding can be placed around the receiver. When the receiver in a good quality foam rubber, such as those available from Du-Bro, Carl Goldberg, Sig, and others. R/C foam is made from natural rubber, which eliminates vibration far better than synthetic foam, (such as the kind used for packing many consumer times). CAUTION Any contact with moisture i.e. water or condensation may cause malfunction and loss of control. CAUTION HELPFUL HINT The receiver contains precision electronic parts. These parts are vulnerable to vibration and shock. If you choose to wrap your receiver in both foam and a plastic bag, it is recommended to periodically remove the receiver from your model, remove the foam and bag to let the receiver "air out". This maintenance procedure will let you determine if any moisture is accumulating in the protective wrap. Small holes cut into the bag will allow airflow into the receiver, and eliminate the need for the periodic checks, although you will lose a certain amount of protection against fuel or oil with this step. NOTE When wrapping the receiver, keep in mind that you are trying to cushion a delicate piece of electronic equipment, so "wrap" the foam, don't "stretch" it around the receiver. HELPFUL HINT Battery installation It is quite a simple way to isolate the receiver from vibration by attaching to the chassis or mounting plate with thick double-sided tape. Always wrap the battery pack in foam, and mount it in the location specified in your models instructions. It is also recommended to wrap the battery pack in a plastic bag, as its location (close to engine and fuel tank) makes fuel proofing vital. Foam Rubber Rubber Spacer Switch installation Pick the most convenient location for your on/off switch as required by your particular model. Always mount the switch on the opposite side of the engine exhaust. After mounting the switch, carefully bundle any excess servo wires with cable ties, keeping them away from any moving item (pushrod, servo arm, etc.) that could catch and cut the wires. Any empty space in your fuselage radio compartment can be filled with excess foam. Two Layers Receiver antenna CAUTION Refer to your model's instructions for the location desired for the receiver antenna to exit the Body or Fuselage. A general guideline is to exit the antenna from the Body / Fuselage at the closest possible point to the receiver, that is, have as much antenna as possible outside the model. Use a strain relief (a knot will work) where the antenna exits the model, to avoid the antenna being ripped out of the receiver in the case of a mishap. A rubber band works well for this. REMEMBER: THE ANTENNA WIRE IS YOUR MODELS "LINK" TO THE TRANSMITTER. Take care to eliminate any chance of the antenna wire being caught or tangled in the prop, wheels, etc. If a connector is not fully inserted, vibration may cause the connector to work loose while the model is operating. This will result in loss of control. Battery power Turn the power switch on to check. As the LED light begins to flash, it is time to change the cells. Linkages Once satisfied with the pushrods, attach them to the servo arm/horn per your models instructions. Then operate each servo horn over its full stroke and check to see that the linkage does not bind or is not too loose. NOTE The receiver antenna may seem long. The length of the receiver antenna is critical to the proper operation of your radio. Do not cut or alter from the original length for any reason, or you might severely limit the range of the system, and the receiver would become considerably more susceptible to interference and high frequency noise that will result in loss of range and control. CAUTION Before connecting the pushrods or control cables, make certain that there is no binding or unnecessary drag on the controls. Excessive force applied to the servo horn by binding or poor installation may lead to excessive power consumption by the servos and will quickly drain the receiver pack as well as make your model perform poorly. Functions Inspect all linkage installations and any point where metal could come in contact with other metal parts. Make sure these parts do not touch other metal parts under vibration. Servo Reversing It is sometimes necessary or convenient to reverse the output direction of the servo. The direction of the rotation for each individual servo can be changed by simply flipping the reversing switch that corresponds to the channel number on the receiver where the servo is plugged in. NOTE The high frequency noise generated by this contact will cause interference and possible loss of control. Final Checks Once you have completed the radio installation to your satisfaction, then test the operation of the system before hooking up any push rods or control cables. Adjustments With all transmitter trim levers set in their neutral position, turn on the radio system and reconfirm proper control directions. Adjust the pushrods mechanically to achieve neutral centered control with neutral transmitter trim. Connecting The design, engineering, and production staffs at Ace R/C wish you might happy running with your new SkyMaster T4 FM radio system. Check the receiver, servos, and battery connectors; to be sure they are firmly connected. 66 Frequency List repair and each internal adjustment to an FCC type accepted R/C transmitter must be made in accordance with the technical regulations specified by the FCC.
