7.  R

This receiver employs the UNI connector system, which is com-
patible with the connector systems used by most radio control 
manufacturers (e.g. HiTEC, robbe/Futaba, Graupner/JR). 
The receiver sockets are marked as follows: 

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 

Servo sockets, channel 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 
! Note: a separate receiver battery can be 
connected to all five servo sockets (1 … 5). 

 

! When connecting the receiver battery, servos, speed 
controllers ... it is essential to ensure that the con-nectors 
are plugged in correctly, and feature compatible pin assign-
ments:

Before it can be used, the receiver must be linked to the trans-
mitter using the process known as “binding”. 
! Note: 
The signal output to the servo sockets is switched off during the 
binding procedure. This means that the servos are “soft”, and do 
not move, while the motor connected to a modern electronic 
speed controller remains OFF due to the lack of a signal. Never-
theless, it is important to secure the model and keep well clear 
of the power system. 
The binding process is necessary in the following cases: 
•  The first time the receiver is used (Π8.2.1). 
•  After a receiver RESET (Π8.5). 
•  If you change the “Fast response” setting at the transmitter. 

Please read the appropriate section in the instructions 
supplied with your transmitter or RF module. 

•  If you change the setting at the transmitter which defines the 

transmitted frequency range. For more information on this 
matter, please refer to the operating instructions supplied 
with your transmitter or RF module (“France mode”). 

•  If the receiver is to be operated in conjunction with a different 

M-LINK transmitter. 

8.2.1 Sequence of the binding procedure 
1.  The first step is always to set the transmitter and receiver to 

Binding mode: 
a.  Place the transmitter very close to the receiver aerial. 
b.  Switch the transmitter ON in binding mode. 
 

! Note: please read the operating instructions supplied 
with your M-LINK transmitter or RF module for details. 

c. Switch the RX-5 light M-LINK receiver ON in Binding 

mode: 
•  Locate the SET button on the top of the receiver and 

hold it pressed in. 

•   Switch the receiver ON, or connect the battery. 

•   Now release the SET button (not before): 

⇒  The binding procedure runs, the LED on the 

receiver flashes at a high rate  
(LED code 2 Î 8.1). 

2.  Once the transmitter and receiver are bound, both units 

switch automatically to standard transmit / receive mode: 

 

⇒  The LED on the receiver flashes slowly  

 

  (LED code 3 Î 8.1).  

! Note: in most cases the binding process only takes a few 

seconds. 

8.2.2  Binding: locating and correcting faults 
Fault:  
During the binding process the receiver LED continues to flash 
at a high rate after several seconds. 
Cause:  
No M-LINK signal of adequate strength detected. 
Remedy: 
•  Reduce the distance between your transmitter and the recei-

ver aerial. 

•  Ensure that your transmitter is switched on in binding mode. 
•  Repeat the binding procedure. 

8.3.1  Sequence when switching ON and OFF 
This is the procedure for switching the RC system ON: 
1.  Switch the transmitter ON. 
2.  Switch the receiver ON. 
3.  The receiver LED flashes slowly and evenly 

 

 

(LED code 3 Î 8.1):  

 

⇒  An M-LINK signal is being picked up: 

 

 

the RC system is ready for use. 

This is the procedure for switching the RC system OFF: 
1.  Switch the receiver OFF. 
2.  Only now switch the transmitter OFF. 

8.3.2   Locating and correcting faults when switching ON: 
The receiver LED lights up constantly when switched on (LED 
code 1 Î 8.1), but does not flash. 
Cause: 
No M-LINK signal detected. 
Remedy: 
•  Is the transmitter switched on? 
•  Is the transmitter generating an M-LINK signal?  
•  Are the transmitter and receiver bound to each other? 
•  Have you carried out a receiver RESET (Π8.5, Î 8.2)? 
•  Have you made changes to the “Fast response” /  

“France mode” setting (Π8.2)? 

Fault: 
The receiver LED remains off when the unit is switched on 

 

(LED Code 0 Î 8.1). 

Cause:  
The operating voltage (battery voltage) is too low. 

Remedy: 
•  Charge the receiver battery or flight battery, or replace it with 

a charged pack.
