Thank you for your purchase of the Advance Radio Smart Bus.
In this quick start guide we will show you how to connect your new Smart Bus,
General use and Set Up. Please take the me to understand this guide before
installaon
IMPORTANT
The touch screen display supplied with the Smart Bus should be protected from
vibraon.
Before installaon please ensure that your baeries are fully charged. The
Smart Bus relies on this to know how much you have used in each pack.
WARNING
The Smart Screen shows you how much you have used out of each pack and
displays this as an indicator on the Smart Screen. NEVER FLY WITH BATTERY
PACKS THAT HAVE 35% OR LESS CAPACITY (RED ZONE ON THE BATTERY INDICA-
TOR). Doing so might put your model at risk.

Installaon and Mounng Instrucons
In this secon we will explain how to mount both the Smart Bus and the Smart Display.
The Advanced Radio Smart System gives you the choice of mounng the Smart Screen in
the model or leaving it disconnected for normal ying and connecng the Smart Screen only
when you need to review baery performance. The Smart Bus will operate in norma ying
mode just ne without the Smart Screen Connected.
Smart Screen Mounng Preparaon
Included with you new Smart Bus are 3M Velcro
Dots or 3M hook and loop. Either the dots or hook
and loop provide an eecve vibraon damping
system for mounng the Smart Screen in the select-
ed model.
Before applying the 3M dots, we recommend clean-
ing both surfaces you wish to use the 3M Dots on
with isopropyl alcohol or methylated spirits. Wait a
moment for this to dry.
Mounng the Smart Bus
The Smart Bus is supplied with 4 rubber shock mounts in the base plate, Similar to rubber
mounts on servos, these can be used to give the Smart bus a Shock mount.
Elite and Extreme versions
The Smart Bus Extreme and Smart Bus Plus have a built in digital regulator that uses the
base plate as a heat sink. It is important that the Smart Bus should be mounted so aire
can ow over the base plate to allow eecve heat dissipaon. We recommend
mounng with minimum stando spacers of 1/2 inch or 12mm to allow adequate air ow
over the base plate.
Extreme 3S (12.0v) version
The Smart Bus Extreme 3S version is designed to run with 8.4volt servos and is supplied
with acve cooling from a high ow fan. This fan MUST have clearance to allow air to
pickup and ow through the Smart Bus. We suggest a mounng strategy of mid fuselage
suspension.
You can view video examples of eecve mounng of the Smart Bus by vising the prod-
uct page as www.boomarc.com.

Mounng the Smart Display
There are 2 opons of mounng the Smart display.
NOTE: Which ever method of mounng you choose, ensure the cable that comes out of
the Smart Display is not crushed in anyway. Doing so will reduce the longevity of the ca-
bles.
Opon 2. For hard mounng, the screen case has 2 eyelet holes on each edge of the screen.
If you are mounng the screen in a scale cockpit, or in a non vibraon model. (e.g. Turbine)
these holes can be used to ax the Smart Display.
Simply place the Smart Display where you wish to mount it. Holding it in place, make a dot
using a pen or pencil in each eyelet hole. Removing the screen, drill a hole where you placed
the dots.
Now simply screw the Smart Display in place.
NOTE: Hard mounng the Smart Display provides lile to no protecon against vibraon.
Use this method if you are using a non vibraon model or only where there is lile to no
vibraon. AVOID MOUNTING IN HIGH VIBRATION AREAS.
Opon 1. Using the 3M Velcro Dots, we can mount the back of the screen to a surface.
NOTE: This is a semi hard mount, and will provide a good resistance to vibraon. AVOID
MOUNTING IN HIGH VIBRATION AREAS. VIBRATION DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER
WARRANTY. Clean both the back of the smart screen and surface that it is being mounted
to. Place one of the 3M dots each side of the cable. Trimming as necessary. IMPORTANT: DO
NOT APPLY FORCE DIRECTLY ON TO THE SCREEN Press on the black case around the screen
to ensure it is secure

Installing the Receiver
The Smart Bus comes with a 12 cable JST header. This detachable
connector makes it easy to plug the correct channel into your re-
ceiver before installing the receiver into the plane.
2 of the 12 connectors (Channel 1 and Channel 12 ) have signal
and power wires connected. These connectors supply power to
the receiver. Channel 1 and/or 12 must be connected to the
Smart Buss to power the receiver.
Smart Bus is designed to supply the power to all the models ser-
vos. Please do not connect servos directly to the receiver when
using Smart Bus.
The other 10 connectors have just the orange signal wire con-
nected. It is OK to connect just the required signal (channels)
that will be used. Le over (unused) signal wires can be removed
from the 12 channel JST header. Addional 12 channel JST head-
ers can also be purchased as a spare part.
Channel Assignment
The numbers below the “Receiver Inputs” correspond to
the output channel near the center of the Smart Bus. For
example: Receiver input 1 connects to output 1 (AIL-1A
and AIL-1B). Likewise Receiver input 2 connects to output
2 (AIL-2A and AIL-2B). Input 3 to output 3 and so on.
See picture le for details.
The rst 5 (B and C) channels on the Smart Bus are adjust-
able. These channels are highlighted with a colour. These
channels are designed for any primary controls such as
aileron, elevator, rudder and throle.
Channel 12 is a special dual funcon channel. It is linked
to the (oponal) opcal ignion output and AUX7-A and
AUX7-B. You can use either the opcal ignion module
OR (AUX7-A and AUX7-B).
Step 1
Locate the channels on your receiver and plug in the corresponding JR connectors from the header,
these cables can be extended using extension leads if needed. Repeat this for all channels needed.
Step 2
Now install the pin header into the Smart Bus. Ensure the header is pushed snug into the Smart Bus
Input port.

Oponal Ignion Module
If you purchased the Smart Bus oponal ignion module then you will be able to easily control the igni-
on system in your model via the Smart Bus. This ignion module is a high quality opcally isolated design
that minimises ignion noise and provides regulated 6 volts supply at up to 3A to power your gas engines’
ignion system. It can be used as the master ignion controller for single or mul engine conguraons.
To use the oponal ignion module:
- Connect the opcal cable to the ignion port on the side of the Smart Bus.
- Connect an ignion baery to the JR FEMALE yellow baery lead.
- Connect the ignion system to the JR MALE yellow power output lead.
- Connect a signal from the receiver to input 12 of the Smart Bus.
- Set the channel connected to input 12 on the transmier to switch ON/OFF the ignion system.
Informaon: Input channel 12 is a special dual funcon channel. It is linked to the opcal ignion output
and AUX7-A and AUX7-B. You can use either the opcal ignion module OR (AUX7-A and AUX7-B).
Please Note: The opcal ignion module is supplied with a blue ignion LED. This ignion LED operates
directly from the ignion power and requires the ignion baery to be connected to operate.

Remote Smart Switch Opon
If you purchased the Remote Smart
Switching Opon for the Smart Bus
then you can enjoy turning you model
ON and OFF via the remote key FOB.
This is great for a true scale model ap-
pearance and will be a great conversa-
on piece at the eld.
To operate the Smart Bus with the Remote Smart Switch simply connect the Remote receiver module to
the switch input of the Smart Bus. And you are ready to go.
Please Note: When you st connect the remote smart switch to the Smart Bus the Smart Bus will stay
switched ON. This is normal and part of the fail safe design.
To switch the Smart Bus ON or OFF do the following:
Press buon “A” and within 2 seconds press buon “B”. If the Smart Bus is in the ON posion it will
turn OFF. If the Smart Bus is in the OFF posion it will turn on.
Pressing buon “A” and “B” too fast will do nothing. Also pressing buon “A” and buon “B” too slow
will do nothing. These are safety features so you cannot accidentally switch Smart Bus ON or OFF.
Please also note. The remote switch is a receiver and while connected it draws several milliamps of
power from your baeries. This is minimal in normal operaon over a weekend BUT to save the receiv-
er baeries from being aened over a few weeks you SHOULD ALWAYS disconnect your baeries
from the Smart Bus aer a weekly ying session.
