Warning and note symbols

and their meaning

4Safety notices

In order to enjoy your modelling hobby for a long time,

please read these instructions thoroughly and give

particular attention to the safety notices.

If you are a beginner with remote controlled model

aircraft, ships or cars, you should really ask an experi-

enced model pilot for assistance.

INTENDED USE

ATTENTION:

This remote control system may only be

used for the purpose intended by the

manufacturer, i.e. for the operation of

unmanned remote controlled models. Any other

usage is not permissible and can cause damages

to the remote control system, to other things and/

or to the people. For damages derived from other

use we offer no warranty and take no liability.

ATTENTION:

NOT SUITABLE FOR KIDS UNDER 14 YEARS

OLD, SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT and REMOTE

CONTROLLED MODELS ARE NOT TOYS

… because even small models can cause substantial

property damage and/or personal injuries if they are not

handled properly - even if caused by third parties.

This manual is an important part of the set, it

contains important information for a proper and

safe use and maintenance. If this remote con-

trol system changes ownership, these instructions

should surely be included with remote control system.

Failure to comply with the operating instruc-

tions and the safety instructions will void the

warranty.

Other notes and warnings

Technical defects of an electrical or mechanical nature

can lead to unexpected startup of a motor and/or parts

being hurled through the air to pose a danger of injury

to you and to others.

Short circuit conditions are to be avoided absolutely! A

short circuit condition may not only destroy parts of the

remote control system but, depending on the circum-

stances and the battery energy involved, may also

pose acute danger of incineration or even explosion.

All motor-driven parts, such as aircraft or ship propel-

lers, helicopter rotors, open gearboxes etc. represent

a constant danger. Contact with these parts must be

avoided. A rapidly turning aircraft propeller can, for

example, sever a ﬁnger. Also pay attention that other

objects do not come into contact with driven parts.

When a drive battery is connected or a motor is run-

ning: never get into the danger zone of driving mecha-

nisms.

Be sure to pay attention that motors do not start up

unintentionally while performing programming opera-

tions. Disconnect the fuel supply or battery terminals to

motors before programming.

Protect all units from dust, dirt, moisture and other

foreign parts. Never expose these units to vibrations

or excessive hot or cold temperatures. Remote con-

trol operation may only be performed under “normal”

outdoor temperatures, i.e. within a range of -10°C to

+55°C.

Avoid mechanical jarring and pressure stresses. Always

check units for damage to housings and cables. Do

not use units which have been damaged or become

wet, even after they are dry again.

Only those components and accessories which we

recommend may be used. Always use original Graup-

ner plug and jack connectors which are made for one

another out of the same materials.

When routing cables, pay attention that they are not

stressed, unduly kinked or broken. The sharp edges

of adjacent parts also represent a hazard for insulated

conductors.

Be sure that all plug and jack connections are ﬁrmly

seated. Do not pull on the cable to disconnect a

plugged connector.

No modiﬁcations whatsoever may be made to units.

Modiﬁcations will void the operating permit and all

insurance protection. If necessary, send the device

concerned to your local Graupner Service Centre; see

page <?>.

Installing the receiver

The receiver is to be installed with a cushion of

foam rubber to afford protection against jarring;

in aircraft models behind a strong rib, for a car

or ship model the location must be protected against

dust and spraywater. However, do not enclose your

receiver completely, otherwise it may overheat in use.

The receiver may not be mounted in direct contact with

the hull or chassis as this would allow motor vibrations

and/or roadway jarring to be transferred directly to the

receiver. When a receiver system is installed in a model

with a combustion motor, all receiver parts should

always be protected against the intrusion of exhaust

gases and oil residue. Above all, this applies to the

model’s ON/OFF switch, which is typically built into the

model’s outer surface.

Position the receiver such that connecting cables to

the servos and the power supply are routed with a bit

of slack and that the receiver’s antennas are at least

5cm away from any large metal parts or wiring except

for other receiver wires/cables. In addition to steel, this

also includes carbon ﬁber parts, servos, electric mo-

tors, fuel pumps and all sorts of cables, etc.

Optimally the receiver should be placed at a readily ac-

Safety notices

Be sure to pay attention!

Safety notices

rudder actuation, vibration, rotating parts, etc., rub

against one another. Metal-to-metal contact causes

electrical “noise” which can interfere with the correct

operation of the receiver.

Transmitter antenna orientation

Transmission ﬁeld strength is minimal in an imaginary

line extending straight out from the end of the transmit-

ter’s antenna. This means that “pointing” the mc-16

HoTT and mc-20 HoTT transmitter’s antenna direct-

ly toward the model will not produce good reception

but rather degrade reception.

When multiple remote controls are operating simulta-

neously, pilots should position themselves in a loose

group. Pilots standing off to themselves not only en-

danger their own models but those of others as well.

However, when 2 or more pilots using 2.4GHz remote

control systems are closer than 5m to one another this

can lead to return channel overdrive which, in turn, will

trigger a range warning much too early. Increase your

distance between one another until the range warning

ceases.

Pre-start checks

Before switching the receiver on, be sure the throttle

control is at its Stop/Idle position.

Always switch the transmitter on rst

and then the receiver.

Always switch the receiver off rst

and then the transmitter.

If this sequence is not maintained, such that the receiv-

er is still switched on when the corresponding transmit-

ter is switched to “OFF”, then the receiver may respond

to other transmitters or general radio frequency noise.

This can cause the model to execute uncontrolled

operations that may cause personal injuries and/or

property damage.

In particular, for models equipped with a mechanical

gyro:

before switching off the receiver, disconnect the mod-

el’s power supply to prevent the motor from revving up

unintentionally.

The residual spin of a gyro often produces so

much voltage that the receiver may falsely in-

terpret a throttle signal! This will then cause the

motor to start up unexpectedly.

WARNING:

If this order is not respected, that the receiver

is turned on, but the corresponding transmitter

is “OFF”, the receiver could respond by other

transmitters and any interference.

The model can be run as a result uncontrolled steering

movements, thus possibly causing property damage

and / or personal injury.

In particular with a mechanical gyro for models:

Before you switch your receiver off, make sure by inter-

rupting the power supply, that the motor can not run

up unintentionally.

An expiring gyro can generate such a voltage that

the receiver picks up as an apparently valid throt-

tle command. Then, the motor may start uninten-

tionally!

Range test and function test

Perform checks for proper operation and range

before every session. Secure the model ad-

equately in place and ensure that no one is in

front of the model.

Perform a complete functional test on the ground and

execute a complete simulated ﬂight to exclude the pos-

sibility of system faults or problems with the model’s

programming. When doing this, be sure to follow the

notices provided on pages 84 and 94.

Never operate the transmitter in Model mode, i.e. for

ﬂying or driving, without an antenna. Be sure the an-

tenna is ﬁrmly seated in its socket.

cessible location that is well away from all other equip-

ment. Under no circumstances may a servo cable be

wrapped around the antenna or routed close to it.

Make sure that cables near the antenna cannot move

about during ﬂight.

Routing the receiver’s antennas

The receiver and its antennas must be positioned as far

away as possible from drives of any kind. If the model’s

hull is made of carbon ﬁber material, the ends of the

antennas must extend outside of the hull.

If your model features a carbon ﬁbre fuselage, the aerial

tips must always extend outside the fuselage for a

length of at least 35mm. If this is not possible, it is es-

sential to substitute longer aerials for the standard ones

(approx. 145mm long) ﬁtted to HoTT receiver(s).

The orientation of the aerial(s) is not critical, but it is

advantageous to install one receiver aerial in a verti-

cal–upright – position in the model. If your receiver is a

Diversity type–two aerials – the active tip of the second

aerial should be positioned at 90° to the tip of the ﬁrst

aerial, and ideally the distance between the two tips

should be greater than 125mm.

Servo installation

Always mount servos with the provided rubber vibra-

tion-damper parts, see “installation notes” on page

54. Only in this manner can these parts be protected

against excessively hard vibrations.

Installing control rods

Control rods must be installed such that they operate

freely and smoothly. It is particularly important that all

rudder levers are able to move to their full limits, i.e.not

otherwise mechanically blocked.

In order to be able to stop a running motor at any time,

control rods must be adjusted such that the carburet-

tor tap is completely closed when the joystick and trim

lever are brought into their end idle position.

Pay attention that no metal parts, e.g. as a result of

6Safety notices

WARNING:

If the range and functional test, and ight

simulation are not carried out in detail and

conscientiously, this may have undetect-

ed malfunction and / or reception failures result in

eg loss of control or even a crash of the model

and can lead to signicant things and / or person-

al injury as a result.

Operating a winged aircraft, helicopter, ship or

car

WARNING:

•

Never y over spectators or other

pilots. Never endanger humans or

animals. Never y in the vicinity of

high-voltage wires. Do not operate the model

in the vicinity of sluice locks or where real

boats or ships are operating. Do not operate a

model on public streets or highways, paths or

plazas, etc.

• Never switch the transmitter off whilst operat-

ing a model! If this should happen acciden-

tally, keep your nerve and wait until the trans-

mitter screen is entirely blank, i. e. until the

transmitter has shut down completely; this

takes at least three seconds. Do not switch

your transmitter on again until this has oc-

curred. If you neglect this, there is a risk that

the transmitter will “hang” immediately after

being switched on, and you will lose control

of the model. In this case your only recourse

is to switch the transmitter off again, allow it

to shut down completely, and then switch on

once more after the correct interval.

Aero-towing

WARNING:

When operating a powered tug, ensure

that the receiving systems in the two

models are always at least 50 cm apart. We

recommend the use of satellite receivers in such

situations. If you neglect this, there is a chance of

interference from the downlink channel.

Monitoring transmitter and receiver batteries

You must stop running the model to recharge

the transmitter’s battery no later than when low

transmitter battery voltage triggers the “Batt

must be recharged!!” display and acoustic signal.

Check the charge in batteries routinely, particularly the

receiver’s battery. Do not wait until the movements of

controlled mechanisms are noticeably slower. Replace

expended batteries before they cause problems.

The battery manufacturer’s charging instructions are

always to be followed, this includes mandatory adher-

ence to the length of charging time. Never leave batter-

ies being charged unattended.

Never attempt to charge primary batteries (non-re-

chargeable batteries) because they can explode.

All secondary batteries (rechargeable batteries) must

be charged before every session. To avoid short circuit

conditions, ﬁrst connect the charger cable’s banana

plugs, polarity correct, into the charger and thereafter

connect the charger cable’s plugs to the transmitter

and receiver batteries.

Disconnect all power sources from the model when it is

not to be used for an extended period of time.

Never attempt to use defective batteries, damaged

batteries or mixed-type battery combinations as a sin-

gle group. Do not use mixed combinations of old and

new batteries or batteries of different manufacture.

Capacity and operating time

The rule: “capacity is reduced with every successive

recharging”, applies to all batteries. Internal resistance

increases at low temperatures to further reduce capac-

ity. As a consequence, the battery’s ability to provide

current and hold its voltage is reduced.

Frequent charging or the use of battery maintenance

programs can also result in gradual loss of battery

capacity. Therefore the capacity of batteries should be

checked at regular intervals, not in excess of every six

months, and replaced if performance is found to be

signiﬁcantly deﬁcient.

Purchase only genuine Graupner batteries!

Interference suppression for electric motors

All conventional electric motors produce

sparks between their collector and brushes.

Depending on the type of motor involved, this

may cause more or less interference with the function-

ality of the remote control system.

The electric motors of a properly built system should

therefore have interference suppression features. For

electric drive models it is particularly important that

every one of its motors is provided with proper inter-

ference suppression. Interference ﬁlters extensively

suppress such disturbances and should always be

included.

Follow the respective recommendations included in the

motor’s operating and installation notices.

For further details about interference ﬁlters, refer to the

Graupner RC main catalog or in Internet at

www.graupner.de.

Servo interference lters for extension cables

No. 1040

The servo interference ﬁlter is necessary when an

extended-length servo cable is used. This ﬁlter is at-

tached directly to the receiver output. In critical cases a

second ﬁlter can be attached to the servo.

Safety notices

Using electronic speed controllers

Choosing the right electronic controller is largely a mat-

ter of matching controller performance to the motor to

be controlled.

In order to prevent an overload or damage to the

speed controller, its current rating should be at least

half of the maximum locked-rotor current draw of the

motor to which it is connected.

Particular attention is appropriate for so-called “tuning

motors”. Because of their low-turns coils these motors

can draw a multiple of their rated current in a locked-

rotor condition and this can lead to the destruction of

the speed controller.

Electric ignition systems

Combustion motor ignition systems also produce in-

terference that can negatively inﬂuence remote control

functionality.

Always supply power to an electric ignition system from

a separate, dedicated battery.

Use only interference-suppressed spark plugs, spark

caps and shielded ignition leads.

Mount the receiver sufﬁciently far away from ignition

system components.

Static charges

WARNING:

A remote control system will be destroyed

by the magnetic shock waves produced

by a lightning strike –even if the storm is

miles away. Therefore, stop ying right away if a

storm is approaching. Static charging via the

antenna also represents a lethal hazard.

Attention

• In order to fulﬁll FCC HF emission require-

ments for mobile transmitters, a distance of

at least 20cm must be maintained between

this system’s antenna and other persons when this

system is operating. Operation of this system at a

lesser distance is therefore not recommended.

• To avoid disturbance caused by the electrical char-

acteristics and emissions of other transmitters, keep

at least a 20cm distance from other transmitters.

• Operation of the remote control system requires a

correct program setting for the given country in the

transmitter unit. This is necessary for compliance

with diverse regulations like FCC, ETSI, CE etc. Fol-

low the respective instructions provided for this with

the transmitter and receiver.

• Prior to every ﬂight, perform a complete functional

test, range test and execute a complete simulated

ﬂight in order to exclude the possibility of system

faults or problems with the model’s programming.

• Never program the transmitter or receiver while the

model is being operated.

Care and maintenance

Never clean the housing, antenna, etc. with

cleaning agents, gasoline, water or similar

means. Use only a dry, soft cloth.

8Safety notices

Safety notices and handling regulations for Lithium-Ion

(LiIo) and Lithium-Polymer (LiPo) batteries

As applicable for all highly technical products, obser-

vance of the following safety notices and handling

instructions is essential for a long service life, fault-free

operation, and harmless utilization of lithium/polymer

batteries.

These instructions are to be safeguarded. If the unit is

transferred to another user, these instructions should

certainly be passed along to the new user.

LiIo-/LiPo batteries require particularly attentive han-

dling. This applies to charging, discharging as well as

for storage and other handling. Adherence to the fol-

lowing special speciﬁcations is necessary:

Special notices for charging LiIo-/LiPo batteries

from Graupner

WARNING:

• Since Graupner GmbH cannot supervise

the correct charging and discharging of

cells, the entire guarantee is void in cases

of improper charging or discharging.

• Only approved chargers with appropriate charging

cables may be used for charging LiIo-/LiPo bat-

teries. Any manipulation to the charger or charger

cables can lead to severe damage.

• The maximum charging capacity must be limited to

1.05 times the battery’s capacity.

Example: 700mAh battery = 735mAh max. charg-

ing capacity

• Use only the outlet-charger included with the set

or a specially designed charger/discharger from

Graupner to charge and discharge LiIo-/LiPo bat-

teries, refer to page 18 or www.graupner.de.

• Ensure the settings for the number of cells or for

ﬁnal charging voltage and ﬁnal discharge voltage are

correct. Be sure to observe the operating instruc-

tions for your charger/discharger.

• Under these conditions Graupner LiIo-/LiPo bat-

teries can be charged with a maximum of 2C (the

value 1C corresponds to the cell capacity) charging

current. At a voltage of maximum 4.2V per cell and

above, charging must continue a constant voltage

of 4.2V per cell until charging current drops below

0.1 … 0.2A.

• The permissible temperature range for charging and

storing LiIo-/LiPo batteries is 0 … +50°C.

• Never leave batteries being charged unattended.

• The battery to be charged must be placed on a

non-combustible, heat resistant, non-conducting

surface during the charging process. Combustible

or readily ignited objects are to be kept away from

the charging conﬁguration. Batteries may only be

charged under supervision.

• Avoid short circuit. Never pierce a LiIo/LiPo battery,

by doing it you may cause a short circuit and a ﬁre,

explosion and other problems.

• Charging voltage over 4.20V per cell must be

avoided absolutely as the cell would otherwise be

permanently damage and could cause a ﬁre. In or-

der to prevent the over-charging of individual cells in

a pack, a cut-off voltage between 4.1 … 4.15V per

cell should be set to increase service life.

• Incorrect handling can lead to explosions, ﬁre,

smoke and poisoning hazards. Furthermore, dis-

regard for instructions and warnings can lead to

performance losses and other defects.

• Before every use check the state of your batteries.

Damaged or ruined batteries or cells should not be

used.

• LiIo/LiPo batteries contain electrolytes and elec-

trolyte vapours which are unhealthy. Never enter in

touch directly with electrolytes. In case of contact

with eyes, skin or other parts of the body, wash

soon with a lot of water and call soon a doctor.

• The battery’s capacity is reduced by every charge/

discharge cycle. Storing the battery at temperatures

which are too high or too low can also lead to a

gradual reduction in capacity. In model operation,

battery capacity drops to about 50 … 80% of new

battery capacity after about 50charge/discharge

cycles–even though all charge/discharge rules are

followed. This is due in part to the high discharge

currents and inductive currents caused by motors.

• Never attempt to charge battery cells with the

wrong polarity. Abnormal chemical reactions

take place when batteries are charged with re-

versed polarity and the battery will be useless.

This can cause breaks, smoke and ames.

• Battery packs may only be connected in series or

parallel in exceptional cases as cell capacities and

charged state can differ too greatly. This is why the

battery packs we deliver are selected.

• LiIo-/LiPo batteries connected in series within

a pack may only be charged as a group if the

voltage of individual cells do not differ by

more than 0.05 V. The LiIo battery included

with the set is equipped with a special safety

circuit such that “compensation” for voltage

differences between individual cells, by way of

an otherwise typical balancer plug connection,

is not necessary.

• Individual battery cells and batteries are not toys

and must therefore not get into the hands of chil-

dren. Batteries/cells must be kept out of the reach

of children.

Safety notices

• Batteries must not get into the vicinity of babies or

small children. If a battery is swallowed, immediately

go to a doctor or emergency medical facility.

• Batteries must not be put in a microwave oven or

put under pressure. Smoke, ﬁre and more can be

the consequences.

• Never dismantle a LiIo-/LiPo battery. Dismantling

a battery can cause internal short-circuits. Gas, ﬁre,

explosions and other problems can result.

• The electrolyte and electrolytic vapors in LiIo-/LiPo

batteries are harmful. Absolutely avoid all direct

contact with electrolytes. If electrolytes come into

contact with skin, eyes or other body parts, immedi-

ately wash out or rinse out with generous amounts

of fresh water then be sure to consult adoctor.

• Batteries built into equipment must always be

removed from that equipment when it is not cur-

rently in use. Always switch off equipment after it is

used to prevent deep discharging. Always charge

batteries before it is too late. Store batteries on a

non-combustible, heat resistant, non-conducting

surface! Deep-discharged LiIo-/LiPo batteries are

defective and may no longer be used!

Storage

LiIo-/LiPo cells should have a 10 … 20%

charge capacity when stored. If cell voltage

drops below 3V, then LiIo-/LiPo cells must

absolutely be recharged to a capacity of 10 … 20% of

full capacity. Otherwise, further deep-discharging of the

battery will make it useless during storage in a dis-

charged state.

Special notices for discharging LiIo-/LiPo batter-

ies from Graupner

• A continuous current rate of about 1C does

not represent a major problem for Graup-

ner LiIo-/LiPo batteries. For larger currents,

please follow the catalog speciﬁcations. In any case,

observe the maximum current rating for the con-

nector system, see maximum discharge current on

the battery.

• Discharging below 2.5V per cell damages cells per-

manently and is therefore to be avoided absolutely.

Short circuit conditions are to be avoided absolute-

ly. Permanent short circuits lead to destruction of

the battery, high temperatures and perhaps even

self-ignition may follow.

• During discharge, battery temperature must not

rise, in any case, to over +70°C. Otherwise, bet-

ter cooling or a lower rate of discharge must be

introduced. The temperature can easily be checked

with the infrared thermometer, No. 1963. The bat-

tery must never be discharged via the transmitter’s

charging socket. This socket is not suitable for this

purpose.

Other handling notices

• Never short-circuit the battery. A short-

circuit allows very high current to ﬂow and

this heats up the cells. This will lead to loss

of electrolyte, the production of gases and perhaps

even explosions. In the vicinity of, or while handling,

Graupner LiIo-/LiPo batteries, avoid electrically con-

ducting surfaces because of the danger of creating

a short-circuit condition.

• Battery packs may only be connected in series or

parallel in exceptional cases as cell capacities and

charged state can differ too greatly. This is why the

battery packs we deliver are selected.

Handling connectors

• These connectors are not as robust as for

other batteries. This applies particularly to

the plus pole connector. The connections

can easily be broken off. Due to thermal transfer,

the connector tabs may not be soldered directly.

• The connections of LiLo / LiPo batteries are not as

robust as those of other batteries. This applies in

particular to the positive pole connection. The con-

nections can easily break off.

Cell connection

Direct soldering on battery cells is not permit-

ted.

The heat of direct soldering can damage bat-

tery components, such as separator or isolator.

Battery connections should only be made by industrial

spot welding. A professional repair made by the manu-

facturer or distributor is necessary to replace missing or

torn-off cables.

Replacing individual battery cells

The replacement of battery cells may only be

made by the manufacturer or distributor and

never by the user himself.

Damaged cell usage

Damaged cells may never be used or returned

to service.

Characteristics of damaged cells include: dam-

aged housing packing, deformed battery cells, electro-

lyte or leaking electrolyte. In these cases, further use of

the battery is not permissible.

Damaged or useless cells are hazardous waste items

and must be appropriately disposed.

General warning notices

Batteries must never be put in ﬁre or burned.

Battery cells must not be submerged in liq-

uids, such as water, seawater or beverages.

Any contact with liquids, of whatever nature, is to be

avoided.
