RECEIVER INSTALLATION/SERVO CONNECTIONS (CONTINUED)

Bind your receiver to your transmitter by following the instructions provided by your transmitter and receiver manufacturer. Verify that it is

bound by connecting a spare servo to the receiver and verify that it responds to the appropriate input.

With the transmitter and receiver powered OFF, re-wire the Aura and connect to your receiver using the diagram below. Note that the

throttle is plugged directly into the receiver.

With the motor unplugged from the ESC, and ALL connections made between Aura and the receiver (observing correct polarity), power

on your transmitter and the airplane with the flight battery, ensuring that the airplane is kept stationary. After a few seconds, the LEDs on

Aura will sweep back and forth as Aura searches for a valid control signal. Once found, Aura will emit solid orange, green, blue and red

LEDs. After the source is found, apply transmitter right rudder to assist Aura with determining your radio type. A solid orange (Aura

running), and solid green (Aura receiving valid signal from the receiver) LED is illuminated after which point control of the model is

established. This is only required during initial setup.

Connecting a Traditional Receiver to Aura with PWM Servo Connections

PWM is an acronym which stands for Pulse Width Modulation. A servo will move to a specific angle in a specific direction based on the

width of the signal pulse it receives. Most transmitters output a total pulse width of 1.1-1.9ms, with the midpoint being 1.5ms. Lower pulse

widths will move the servo to one side of neutral and higher pulse widths to the other side of neutral. In order to utilize this type of receiver

connection with your FlexJet, male to male servo leads that connect the corresponding receiver ports to Aura 8 are required. A minimum 6-

channel receiver is required to set up the FlexJet/Aura 8 with PWM servo connections. Please purchase (1) FPZAU01 Aura 3-piece male

to male servo cable/S.Bus and (2) FPZA1012 Servo Y-Harnesses to complete the PWM connection setup.

NOTICE

VERIFY PROPER POLARITY OF ALL CABLE CONNECTIONS PRIOR TO ADDING POWER TO THE SYSTEM

All four (4) PWM male to male connections must be connected AND connected in the proper polarity from receiver outputs

to Aura inputs for Aura to activate servo outputs. (Aileron - S1, Elevator - S2, Rudder - S3, Aux1/CH6 - S4)

Please note, for optimum connection reliability and

performance using Spektrum, the Flex Team highly

recommends the use of a traditional receiver using SRXL.

Remote receivers may still be used, however:

Connect (2) Spektrum Remote Receivers to Mini Port 'A' and Mini

Port 'B' at the top of the Aura case.

To bind a DSMX Spektrum Remote Receiver connection, insert a

bind plug into Aura Port S8.

To bind a DSM2 Spektrum Remote Receiver connection, insert a

bind plug into Aura port S1 AND S8.

Connect the flight battery to the ESC, and the remote receivers

should begin to flash, indicating that they are ready to bind. Bind

from here as recommended by your transmitter manufacturer.

Once bound (indicated by each remote receiver showing a solid

orange LED), Aura will begin the Auto-Detect process, indicated by

flashing/sweeping LEDs on the Aura. Once found, you will see solid

orange (power and calibrated sensor) and solid green (valid receiver

data) LEDs, indicating the Aura is in its flight-ready state.

Mount your receivers using double sided foam tape, or hook and

loop tape. Consult your receiver manual for proper mounting

orientations and procedures.

Spektrum Remote Receivers

If you are unsure which type of DSM remote receiver you

have, start by attempting the bind process with a bind plug

in S8. If you continue to have trouble binding, then insert

one bind plug in S1, and one bind plug in S8.

Note: It may be necessary to move the ESC lead to another open

port (such as 'Port B') during the binding precedure. Be sure to

return the ESC lead back to S1 after binding is complete.

Note: There are many JR-branded remote receivers that use

Spektrum DSM2 and DSMX RF protocol. For these, follow the

instructions as Spektrum remote receivers.
