Installation Specification
Main controller module installation
Installation position requirements
The TopXGun logo should be facing the sky, with the orientation arrow pointing directly to the nose
direction, please mount it on a central place in board center of aircraft.
Port connection
Connection of ESC: Connect M1~M8 to ESC, T1-A supports up to eight motors at most (ESC
signal wire is down and earth wire is up )
If use ESC which owns the function of BEC output, the red power output line in the middle of
the BEC should be cut off.
Connection of receiver: SBus and PPM receiver can be connected directly to C1. PWM
receiver should be connected to C1~C8 on flight controller. The receiver should have at least
six channels for realizing built-in advanced functions of flight controller.(Recommended to use
servo cable of flight controller includes to connect flight controller and the receiver.)
If you have matched DTU (data transmission unit), please connect it to COM port on MC, it is
recommended that you complete fixation after wiring.
PMU module installation

Please do not mount it on any other electronic device, choose a ventilated place for cooling. Make sure
the three CAN ports are convenient for connecting during installation.
Three ports of PMU module have same defination
GPS/COMPASS module installation
When installing the top side should be facing up, with the orientation arrow pointing directly to the nose
direction, mount it on the bracket horizontally. Connect it to any one of the CAN ports of PMU. It is
recommended to use bracket included in package, otherwise, please make sure it is nonmagnetic.
The module built-in magnetic compass as magnetic sensitive equipment,please pay attention
to keep it away from the motor, ESC, power battery and etc when install and use.
LIU module installation
Mount in a good place to make sure the LIU is visible during flying, don't cover the USB port, connect it
to any one of the CAN ports of PMU with the enclosed 3M adhesive tape.
DCU module installation
Installation position requirements
Choose the appropriate position on aricraft board and connect it to any one of the CAN ports of PMU.
Port connection
X1 port is connected to liquid level sensor, X2~X6 port is connected to pump output, the instruction as
below:
When access to ESC of water pump, if use ESC which owns the function of BEC output, the
red power output line in the middle of the BEC should be cut off.

If you do the configuration on PC, it must meet below demends:

Copyright © Shanghai TopXGun robotics Co., Ltd. 8
support windows system Windows XP/7/8/10
PC has connectted to Internet.
Install latest software uesd to adjust prameters (It may need to install drive program)
Install and test steps
Here follows the instruction of parameter setting steps, taking the adjustable parameter software settings
asexample. You can see details of setting method according to the inner specification of adjustable
parameter software.
Step1. Use USB cable to connect flight controller and PC.
PC will automatically detect flight control and connection.
When using a USB to connect flight controller and PC, it must be given flight control power.
Step2. Choose the type of aircraft.
Figure 1-4 choose the type of aircraft
(1) The direction of the red arrow indicates rotating clockwise (view from the top).
(2) The direction of the blue arrow indicates rotating anticlockwise (view from the top).
(3) To coaxial propellers: red propeller is at Top; blue propeller is at Bottom.
Step3. Choose the type of receiver and calibrate it.

Copyright © Shanghai TopXGun robotics Co., Ltd. 9
1. Choose the type of receiver that you have installed, reboot MC after selection.
2. Setup a new fixed wing model on transmitter, choose a three position switch for CH5, choose a
two position or three position switch for CH6.
3. Click the”START CALIBRATION”button, and move all of the sticks throughout their complete
range several times, then click the “FINISH CALIBRATION”button.
Remote control only unlock after the correct calibration, please check the channel direction is
correct or not:
turn the aileron stick to right, the roll cursor slides to right;
turn the rudder to right, the yaw cursor slides to right;
pull the elevator stick, the pitch cursor slides to right;
push the throttle stick, the throttle cursor slides to right;
4. Flip the CH5,CH6 stick,check if the position on software matches with the control mode.
If the receiver type is not SBus, you need to do as follow:
1. Set the end point of CH5 to 30%~70%
2. Set the rudder angle in the range of normal mode.
you can verify the Fail-Safe setting by shutting down the transmitter, the control mode will
automatically jump to red „Fail-Safe‟area.

Step4. Gain setting.
1. Choose the axle base of aircraft which you are using,for your better flying experience,some
parameters have been set automatically according to the axle base of aircraft.
2. You can adjust flying gain in “Gain Adjustment”.
3. You can setup the gain manually until you confirm the best flying gain.
Figure 1-6 Gain setting
Step5. Low-voltage protection setting.
If you do not want to use this function, you can turn it off, then the aircraft will only alarm
with LED blinking when the battery is low.The first level protection has yellow LED
blinking, the second level protection has red LED blinking.
If the low-voltage protection is turned on, the aircraft will return automatically during first
level protection, during second level protection the aircraft will land automatically.
No matter the auto-return or land in stand point, you can switch CH5 mode twice to
terminate low-voltage protection at any time .
If the low-voltage protection is triggered, you are unable to switch to any kind of flight
mode except for attitude mode and returning mode and landing mode.
