Programming Your Transmitter

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identiﬁer) code of a single speciﬁc transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your

Spektrum™DSM®transmittertotheybarlessunitbeforeyingyourhelicopter.Pleasevisitwww.bindny.comtoseealistofcompatibleDSMtransmitters.

Binding the Transmitter and Receiver

Installing the Flight Battery

Throttle Hold

When you move the throttle hold switch to the ON position, the helicopter

motor turns off. You will still have control of the helicopter cyclic and rudder

commands.

The blades spin if throttle hold is OFF. For safety, turn throttle hold ON any time

youneedtotouchthehelicopterorcheckthedirectioncontrols.

You should also turn throttle hold ON to minimize damage if the helicopter is

out of control or in danger of crashing.

See your transmitter manual for more information on programming throttle

hold.

1. Lower the throttle.

2. Power on the transmitter.

3. Center the throttle trim.

4.Turn throttle hold ON.

5. Attachhookmaterialtothehelicopterframeandloopmaterial

to the battery.

6. Installtheightbatteryonthehelicopterframe.Securetheightbattery

withahookandloopstrap.

7. Connect the battery cable to the ESC.

8. Do not move the helicopter until the AR7200BX initializes. The swash-

plate will move up and down, indicating that the unit is ready. The

AR7200BX will also emit a solid BLUE Status LED when it is ready

9. The helicopter motor will emit a series of tones, indicating the ESC is

armed.

Binding Procedure

1. Program your transmitter using the Transmitter Setup values found in this manual.

2. InsertthebindplugintheBND/DATportontheybarlessunit.

3. ConnecttheightbatterytotheESC.TheHmenuLEDashes,indicatingtheAR7200BXisinbindmode.

4. MovethethrottlesticktotheLOW/OFFpositionandmovetheightmodeswitchtoselectNormalightmode.

5. Put your transmitter in bind mode.Thesystemconnectswithinafewseconds.TheHLEDstopsashingandtheAR7200BXstartstheinitialization

process.

6. When the initialization process is complete, menu LED turns OFF and the Status LED light turns ON solid BLUE.

7. DisconnecttheightbatteryandremovethebindplugfromtheAR7200BX.Storethebindpluginaconvenientplace.

WARNING: You must move the throttle to the LOW/OFF position during binding. Failure to do so may cause the rotor blades to spin and the

helicopter to lift during the AR7200BX initialization, which could result in damage to property and injury.

NOTICE: Remove the bind plug to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time the power is turned on.

If you encounter problems, follow the binding instructions and see the AR7200BX instruction manual for more information. If needed, contact the appropriate

Horizon Product Support ofﬁce.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft receiver when not in use to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a

voltage below the lowest manufacturer’s approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential ﬁre when batteries are

charged.

Rudder Gyro Test

1. Power on the transmitter.

2. TurnthrottleholdONandmovetheightmodeswitchtoselectNormal

3. Connect the Li-Po battery to the ESC.

NOTICE: Do not allow the helicopter to move until the Status LED is solid

blue and all menu LEDs are OFF. The gyro will not operate correctly if the

helicopter moves before the Status LED is solid blue.

4. Movetheruddersticktotheright.Thetailrotorbladesmoveasshown.

If they do not move as shown, reverse the rudder channel in your trans-

mitter.

5. Release the rudder control.

6. Manually turn the helicopter nose

to the left. The tail rotor blades

automatically move as shown. If

they do not move as shown, reverse

the AR7200BX tail sensor direc-

tion (Setup menu point F). See the

AR7200BX instruction manual for

more information.

Cyclic Gyro Test

Whenusingaybarlesssystem,youarecontrollingrotationalrateswhile

the AR7200BX controls the servos. You are not directly controlling the

servos with the transmitter.

It is normal for the swashplate to slowly move back to its original

position after a stick input and for the servos to not move at the same

speed as your control sticks.

1.Tiltthehelicopterforward.Theswashplateshouldtiltbackward.

2.Tiltthehelicopterbackward.Theswashplateshouldtiltforward.

3. Roll the helicopter left. The swashplate should roll right.

4. Roll the helicopter right. The swashplate should roll left.

5. If the swashplate does not move in the correct direction, you will need to

reverse the cyclic sensor direction. Refer to the AR7200BX manual for

more information (Setup menu point M).

WARNING: Disconnect the motor from the ESC before performing Rudder and Cyclic Control Tests. Failure to disconnect the motor from the ESC may

cause the rotor blades to spin.

Takeoff

Deliberately increase throttle and establish a hover at least 36” (1 meter) high,

outside of ground effect.

CAUTION: Do not give any aileron, elevator or rudder commands before

takeofforthehelicoptermaycrash.

Flying

The helicopter lifts off the ground when the rotor head reaches a suitable

speed. Establish a low-level hover to verify proper operation of your helicopter.

Youmustnotsetanytrim;theybarlessdesignoftheBlade500Xrenders

tion of the helicopter.

Landing

Establish a low level hover. Deliberately lower the throttle until the helicopter

lands. Do not give any aileron, elevator or rudder commands when the helicop-

ter is landing.

When the helicopter is in stunt mode:

- The rotor head speed is constant.

The helicopter may go up or down when you change between modes due to

the difference in the throttle and pitch curves.

WARNING: Only use Blade 500 X approved carbon ﬁber main blades. Do

not use wooden main blades with the Blade 500 X. Using wooden main

blades may cause injury or property damage.
