Verkabelung

Das Spirit kann als unabhängiger Kreisel, zur Stabilisierung und als Rettungsystem angeschlossen werden. Die Verkabelung der Einheit hängt vom eingesetzten Empfänger ab.

ACHTUNG
Das Spirit ist auf 1520μs Servo neutraler Impuls und 50 Hz Frequenz vorprogrammiert – bitte vergewissern Sie sich, dass Sie die richtigen Servo- Parameter, wie vom Servohersteller spezifiziert, ausgewählt haben.

Einige Stecker haben keine Standardabmessungen, diese könnten nach dem Einstecken in die Einheit nebenstehende Stecker stören. Zur Lösung empfehlen wir, sie durch JR- oder Futaba- Stecker zu ersetzen.

Stecken Sie niemals einen Stecker zur Stromversorgung der Einheit in SYS oder ELE/PIT/AIL Schnittstellen oder Sie riskieren die Einheit zu beschädigen!

1 GYRO

Die R/C-Modelle können alle Eigenschaften und Möglichkeiten der Spirit-Einheit nutzen. Das Spirit wird das Modell in allen Achsen stabilisieren und weniger windanfällig machen. Bei richtigem Setup sollten die Flugeigenschaften stabiler sein, was Ihnen das Vertrauen gibt, auch die herausforderndsten Manöver auszuführen.

Nichtsdestotrotz können Sie die Stabilisierung auch vollständig deaktivieren, so dass die Steuerung gleich ist wie ohne das System. Dann kann es jederzeit wieder während Des Fluges aktiviert werden.

2 CONNECTION OF STANDARD RECEIVER (PWM)

Spirit – receiver type: PWM

Spirit Pro – receiver type: PWM

For standard receivers it is necessary to use two normal and one special cable. Three connectors from the special cable should be plugged into the receiver and the end of this cable to the unit.

The unit is powered by two cables from the receiver connected to AUX and RUD positions. The Throttle cable should be connected to the receiver as well.

The easiest way you can start connect RUD with Rudder output in the receiver. Then continue with AUX which should be connected to the Gyro Gain channel output. Next, connect the Aileron, Elevator and Pitch (Aileron 2) channels. If you are not sure whether you have the correct output or not, you can plug in one servo and power the unit to verify that your connection is correct. This can be repeated for each servo. The diagnostics tab is very helpful too.

Spirit Pro

The unit is able to control Bank Switching by 7th channel of the receiver. Connect the cable to the AUX2 port and allow Bank Switching in the software.

Never plug a connector for powering the unit to SYS or ELE/PIT/AIL ports.

3 CONNECTION OF SPEKTRUM DSM2/X SATELLITE

Spirit – receiver type: Spektrum DSM2/X

Spirit Pro – receiver type: Spektrum DSM2/X

Connection to a BEC is optional. If the model is powered by an external BEC, this must be connected to the RUD port. Also the power lead from the ESCs internal BEC must be disconnected.

Spirit

A second satellite can be connected, but this can only be achieved via a special adapter connected to the RUD port. This adapter can be purchased separately. Before satellites can be used they must be bound to your transmitter, taking into account any failsafes that need to be set. To use both, two satellites and an external BEC, be sure to use a Y-harness made from large gauge wire to supply the high current that is needed.

Spirit Pro

The Pro version allows you to connect two satellites directly to the unit. If you want to use only one satellite, you have to use the Primary connector.

To bind the satellites, insert a bind plug in the SYS port for DSM2 satellites or the ELE/PIT/AIL port for DSMX satellites. Power cycling the Spirit start the bind process. Once successfully bound, the STATUS LED will go out and the satellite LED will come on. If the second satellite fails to bind, swap the satellites and repeat the bind process.

Be sure Receiver type in the software is configured to Spektrum DSM2/X or else binding process will not work. Never plug a connector for powering the unit to SYS or ELE/PIT/AIL positions.

4 CONNECTION OF FUTABA S-BUS RECEIVER

Spirit – receiver type: Futaba S-BUS

Spirit Pro – receiver type: Futaba S-BUS

Spirit

When using S-BUS it is necessary to use an inverter that replaces the cable between the receiver and the Spirit unit's RUD port. This inverter cable can be purchased separately. The inverter cable have to be connected in the way, that longer end is directed to the unit and shorter to the receiver.

Spirit Pro

Connect the receiver with the unit by normal patch cable to the RUD port. You can use cable that is included in the package.

Connection to a BEC is optional. For models with standard size servos it is recommended to use dual power supply cables due to the increased power consumption. That means besides the S-BUS cable, an additional power supply cable should be connected to the AUX port.

When using this type of receiver you can connect the throttle cable directly to the receiver. Alternatively, you can assign the throttle channel in the software and use the AUX as throttle output from the unit.

Never plug a connector for powering the unit to SYS or ELE/PIT/AIL ports.

5 CONNECTION OF PPM RECEIVER

Spirit – receiver type: PPM

Spirit Pro – receiver type: PPM

NOTE
Connection to a BEC is optional. For models with standard size servos it is recommended to use dual power supply cables due to the increased power consumption. That means besides the communication cable, an additional power supply cable should be connected to the AUX port.

When using this type of receiver you can connect the throttle cable directly to the receiver. Alternatively, you can assign the throttle channel in the software and use the AUX as throttle output from the unit.

Never plug a connector for powering the unit to SYS or ELE/PIT/AIL ports.

6 CONNECTION OF JETI EX BUS RECEIVER

Spirit – receiver type: Jeti EX Bus

Spirit Pro – receiver type: Jeti EX Bus

NOTE
Connection to a BEC is optional. For models with standard size servos it is recommended to use dual power supply cables due to the increased power consumption. That means besides the EX Bus cable, an additional power supply cable should be connected to the AUX port.

When using this type of receiver you can connect the throttle cable directly to the receiver. Alternatively, you can assign the throttle channel in the software and use the AUX as throttle output from the unit.

A special cable is needed to enable this communication.

Never plug a connector for powering the unit to SYS or ELE/PIT/AIL ports.

7 CONNECTION OF SRXL/SUMD RECEIVER

Spirit – receiver type: SRXL/SUMD

Spirit Pro – receiver type: SRXL/SUMD

NOTE
Connection to a BEC is optional. For models with standard size servos it is recommended to use dual power supply cables due to the increased power consumption. That means besides the communication cable, an additional power supply cable should be connected to the AUX port. This protocol family can work with a wide range of receivers. Thus you can use Multiplex SRXL, BeastX SRXL, Graupner SUMD, Jeti UDI, Spektrum SRXL and more.

When using this type of receiver you can connect the throttle cable directly to the receiver. Alternatively, you can assign the throttle channel in the software and use the AUX as throttle output from the unit.

Never plug a connector for powering the unit to SYS or ELE/PIT/AIL ports.

8 CONNECTOR ORIENTATION

All cables connected to the unit must be oriented so that the signal wire (Lightest color wire) is closer to the connector pin label, towards the center of the unit. This orients the negative (darkest color wire) toward the edge of the unit.
