Basic Instructions for Using the Hyperion Stabilized Receiver
NOTE: These basic instructions assume you are using a Spektrum™ transmitter.
1. Set up the transmitter
If using a computer transmitter, set up a new model. Disable any elevon (delta) or V-tail
mixing – if these mixes are required, they must be done in the stabilizer (see page 13).
Make sure control throws (end points/limits) are set to 100% (80% for open source
firmware transmitters, FRSky Taranis, and etc)
2. Bind the receiver
Bind the receiver to the transmitter in the normal way. If you are using a satellite it must be
connected during this process. Completion of the bind is indicated by solid lights on the
receiver (and satellite if used). Be sure to turn off both receiver and transmitter and
remove
3. Test the receiver in non-stabilized mode
Check that all stabilizer switches are in the OFF position. 2 Turn on the transmitter and then
the receiver. Check that both green and red LEDs next to the connectors are on, indicating
that the receiver is operating properly in non-stabilized mode.
Temporarily plug a servo into each of the Ail, Ele, and Rud outputs and check that they
operate normally in response to the correct transmitter Sticks. Power off.
4. Test the receiver in stabilized mode
Set switches J4 and J5 to the ON position. Power on the transmitter and receiver. Check that
the green LED is ON and that the red LED goes OFF when you move the Gear switch. The
stabilizer is operating when only the green LED is ON (i.e., red LED ON = stabilizer OFF).
Power off.
HINT:
For troubleshooting, plug a servo into the Gear pins (channel 5) on the stabilizer.
Theservo should move through about 80-90˚ when the Gear switch is toggled.
5. Mount the receiver in the plane
Install the stabilizer flat in the fuselage, aligned with the center line and with the pins at
either back or front. The bottom of the stabilizer should be mounted firmly to the aircraft
using the supplied double-sided tape. If using a satellite, mount it away from the stabilizer,
with the antenna wires straight and at right angles to the main receiver antenna (see page
11). If using the dual antenna diversity version of the stabilizer, ensure that the active
portions of the two antennas (the silver section about 31mm long) are approximately at
right angles to each other. Take care not to kink the cable. Make sure you can access the
three gain pots on the receiver, as you will need to adjust them, perhaps repeatedly.
Note that the receiver can be mounted upright or inverted with the servo connectors at
front or back. It will not work properly if mounted across the fuselage, on edge, tilted
forward or backward, or at an angle to the center line. This receiver, unlike many other
stabilizers, does not need to be mounted very close to the center of gravity of the model.
Both receiver and satellite (if used) must be firmly attached.
