Telemetry
Settings and displays
Receiver settings and the displays and settings of the
connected telemetry sensors can be retrieved and
programmed in real time in the "Telemetry" menu. The
connection to the receiver is maintained by the feedback
channel integrated in the HoTT receivers.
Up to four sensors can be connected by a V or Y
cable at the telemetry connectors of the receivers
GR-12S HoTT (order No. 33505), GR-12 HoTT (order
No. 33506), GR-16 (order No. 33508), GR-24 HoTT
(order No. 33512) and GR-32 DUAL (order No. 33516)
with updated firmware.
The ability of these and future receivers to be updated
by the user keeps the associated "Telemetry" menus
current and allows additional functions or languages to
be added.
Note:
After the product has been registered at
https://www.graupner.de/en/service/product_
registration.aspx, you will automatically be
notified of updates by e-mail.
Important instructions:
•
These instructions are based on the
functions available at the time at which this
manual was drafted.
• As already noted in the section "Binding several
receivers" on page 74, if desired several receivers
per model can be bound. In the related programs of
the mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT receivers, you
can directly manage one or two receivers and use
a menu to distribute the 9 or 12 transmitter control
channels between the two receivers.
During subsequent operation, only the receiver
selected in the line "RX SELECT" of the
"Telemetry" menu can establish a telemetry
connection with the transmitter.

Conversely, this also means that only these receivers
can be addressed by the "Telemetry" menu. The
selection therefore may have to change before
settings can be made to a specific receiver.
The second and all additional receivers are running
in parallel, but in the model memory-independent
slave mode!
• Since the telemetry data between the transmitter
and receiver are only exchanged after every fourth
data packet, the data transmission requires a certain
amount of time for technical reasons. The reaction to
control buttons and changes to settings is therefore
delayed. This does not constitute an error.
• When adjusting the remote control, make sure
that the transmitter antenna is always far enough
from the receiver antennas. Maintain a distance
of 1 meter to be on the safe side. Otherwise,
you risk endangering the connection with the
feedback channel and causing malfunctions.
•
When operating towed models, maintain
a minimum distance of approximately
50 cm between the participating
receivers or their antennas. Using the satellite
receiver is an option. Otherwise, malfunctions
from the feedback channel are possible.
• The model or sensors may only be programmed
when the model is on the ground. Only perform
settings when the motor is switched off or the drive
battery is disconnected. Otherwise, unanticipated
reactions may occur.
A servo test that is accidentally activated in the
receiver, for example, could cause the model to
crash and cause injury or property damage.
• In addition, consult the safety instructions on pages
4 … 7 of this manual and the respective indi-
vidual instructions.
• All settings that have been made using the "Tele-
metry" menu (such as fail safe, reversal of the direc-
tion of servo rotation, servo travel, mixer and curve
settings, etc.) are only saved in the receiver and are
therefore transferred to other models to when the re-
ceiver is switched. You therefore need to reinitialize
your HoTT receiver if you want to use your receiver
in another model, see "Reset" on page 33.
You should therefore only program the rotational
direction of servos, servo travel, mixer and curve
settings, etc. in a specified standard menu of the
respective transmitter. Otherwise, the settings
will overlap each other which at least will cause a
lack of clarity and, at worst, will cause problems in
subsequent operation.
• By using the channel assignment function called
channel mapping which is integrated in the "Tele-
metry" menu of the mz-18 HoTT and mz-24 HoTT
transmitters, control channels can also be distributed
as desired within one receiver as well as to se veral
receivers. In addition, several receiver outputs can
be assigned the same control function, for example
to control each aileron with two servos instead of just
one, etc. It is strongly recommended to exercise
extreme caution when programming.
