5. RECEIvER TYpE SETUp
Beside using conventional receivers, the MICROBEAST supports the use of dierent types of sin gle-line
receivers. These are receivers which transmit the control signals only over one single cable wiring. If
using such a receiver because of the dierent signal protocols the receiver type must be selected in the
receiver menu before the rst use and further steps such as allocation of individual channels or failsafe
setting are needed. You can see from the yellow LED next to the letters A - N at which receiver menu
point you are currently in. By briey pressing the button you can go to the next receiver menu point
which also saves the current settings.
5.1 Receiver type choice (receiver menu point A)
To get into the receiver menu press the button on the MICROBEAST and hold it down while you turn on
the receiver power supply. The yellow menu LED A should now be ashing and you can release the
button.
If you use a motor controller with BEC, disconnect the motor for safety reasons to avoid the
possibility of unintentional motor start up!
At menu point A where menu LED A is ashing, the color and state of the Status-LED gives you
information about which type of receiver is currently selected (refer to the table below).
In order to change the type of receiver, press and hold the button for about 2 seconds. The Status-LED
will light in the next color or eventually ash. Repeat this as many times as required until the Status-LED
matches your receiver type:
