26  |  Calibration

The PPM receiver uses PPM technology. Do not confuse 
PPM (Pulse-position modulation) and PWM (Pulse-width 
modulation).

Study the manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the 
PPM receiver and pay special attention to information/
instructions on pin allocation.

1.  Study the installation diagrams in [ Fig. 6 ].
2.  Turn the »NovaX 350 upside down and place it on a soft and stable surface [1].
3.  Loosen and remove the four nuts that hold the camera platform in place and remove 

the platform [2].

4.  Cut a double-faced adhesive foam pad that is half the width of and as long as the 

receiver. Align and stick the foam pad along the left edge of the receiver underside. 
With the header pins facing up, stick the receiver on the »NovaX 350’s underside.
Connect  the  PPM  and  telemetry  cable  to  the  corresponding  header  pins  on  the
receiver. [3].

5.  Replace the camera platform and tighten the nuts [4].
6.  Affix one antenna on each boom [6]. Pay attention to these points:

» Place the antennas at a 90° angle to each other. See [5].

» Antennas must not touch.

» Keep antennas as straight as possible.

» Keep antennas away from noise (motor or speed controller).

» A  bare  antenna  wire  must  never  touch  conductive  (metal  and  carbon  fibre)

parts of the »NovaX 350. A minimum distance of 15 mm is required between
conductive materials and a bare antenna wire.
