Safety notes 3

We all want you to have many hours of pleasure in our

mutual hobby of modelling, and safety is an important

aspect of this. It is absolutely essential that you read

right through these instructions and take careful note of

all our safety recommendations. If you are a beginner to

the world of radio-controlled model aircraft, boats and

cars, we strongly advise that you seek out an experi-

enced modeller in your field and ask him for help and

advice. These instructions must be handed on to the

new owner if you ever sell the transmitter.

Application

This radio control system may only be used for the

purpose for which the manufacturer designed it, i.e. for

operating radio-controlled models which do not carry hu-

mans. No other type of use is approved or permissible.

Safety notes

SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT

and …

RADIO-CONTROLLED MODELS ARE NOT

PLAYTHINGS

Even small models can cause serious personal injury

and damage to property if they are handled incompe-

tently.

Technical problems in electrical and mechanical systems

can cause motors to rev up or burst into life unexpected-

ly, with the result that parts may fly off at great speed,

causing considerable injury.

Short-circuits of all kinds must be avoided at all times.

Short-circuits can easily destroy parts of the radio cont-

rol system, but even more dangerous is the acute risk of

fire and explosion, depending on the circumstances and

the energy content of the batteries.

The circumstances and the energy content of the

batteries.

Aircraft and boat propellers, helicopter rotors, open

gearboxes and all other rotating parts which are driven

by a motor or engine represent a constant injury hazard.

Do not touch these items with any object or part of your

body. Remember that a propeller spinning at high

speed can easily slice off a finger! Ensure that no

other object can make contact with the driven compon-

ents.

Protect all electronic equipment from dust, dirt, damp,

and foreign bodies. Avoid subjecting the equipment

to vibration and excessive heat or cold. Radio control

equipment should only be used in „normal“ ambient tem-

peratures, i.e. within the range -15°C to +55°C. Avoid

subjecting the equipment to shock and pressure.

Check the units at regular intervals for damage to cases

and leads. Do not re-use any item which is damaged

or has become wet, even after you have dried it out

thoroughly. Use only those components and accessories

which we expressly recommend. Be sure to use only

genuine matching GRAUPNER connectors of the same

design with contacts of the same material. Use only

genuine GRAUPNER plug-in crystals on the appro-

priate frequency band. When deploying cables note

that they must not be under tension, and should never

be bent tightly or kinked, otherwise they may fracture.

Avoid sharp edges which could wear through the cable

insulation.

Check that all connectors are pushed home firmly

before using the system. When disconnecting compo-

nents, pull on the connectors themselves - not on the

wires.

It is not permissible to carry out any modifications to

the RC system components. Avoid reverse polarity

and short-circuits of all kinds, as the equipment is not

protected against such errors.

Installing the receiving system and deploying the

receiver aerial

In a model aircraft the receiver must be packed in soft

foam and stowed behind a stout bulkhead, and in a

model boat or car should be protected effectively from

dust and spray.

The receiver must not make contact with the fuselage,

hull or chassis at any point, otherwise motor vibration

and landing shocks will be transmitted directly to it.

When installing the receiving system in a model with a

glowplug or petrol engine, be sure to install all the com-

ponents in well protected positions so that no exhaust

gas or oil residues can reach the units and get inside

them. This applies above all to the ON / OFF switch,

which is usually installed in the outer skin of the model.

Secure the receiver in such a way that the aerial, servo

leads and switch harness are not under any strain.

The receiver aerial is permanently attached to the recei-

ver. It is about 100 cm long and must not be shortened

or extended. The aerial should be routed as far away

as possible from electric motors, servos, metal push-

rods and high-current cables. However, it is best not to

deploy the aerial in an exactly straight line, but to angle

it: e.g. run it straight to the tailplane, then leave the final

10 - 15 cm trailing down, as this avoids reception „blind

spots“ when the model is in the air. If this is not possible

we recommend that you lay out part of the aerial wire

in an S-shape inside the model, close to the receiver if

possible.
