Smart Throttle
The AR8020T receiver throttle port includes Smart Throttle. When equipped with Smart Throttle the normal servo connector delivers the throttle signal to the ESC, plus the ESC can send telemetry data like voltage and current back to the receiver. The AR8020T receiver throttle port will automatically detect when a Smart Throttle compatible ESC is plugged in and the throttle port will begin to operate in Smart Throttle mode.
ESCs with Smart Throttle and IC3® and IC5® connectors can also pass along
battery data from compatible Spektrum Smart batteries.
If a standard ESC or servo is plugged into the throttle port on the AR8020T
receiver, the throttle port will operate normally (PWM signal) like any
conventional RC system. The AR8020T receiver is compatible with the Spektrum
Avian line of ESCs for Smart Throttle.
For Smart Throttle to function you must have a Smart Throttle ESC paired with
a Smart Throttle telemetry receiver, and a Spektrum DSMX transmitter with
telemetry. An update for your transmitter may be required for Smart features.
See www.spektrumrc.com register and update your
transmitter.
AR8020T Receiver Installation
For optimum RF link performance, mount the antennas for optimal signal reception accounting for all possible aircraft attitudes and positions. Orient the antennas perpendicular to each other; typically vertical and horizontal and at different angles.
Optional SRXL2 Remote Receiver (not included): If using an optional SRXL2 remote receiver, apply double-sided foam tape and mount it perpendicular to and at least 2 inches away from the main receiver’s antenna.
Airplanes with significant carbon fiber construction can create an RF shielding effect, reducing range. The AR8020T is designed to overcome these critical RF issues in carbon airplanes by outfitting the aircraft with two external antennas at specific points that will ensure secure RF coverage from all angles of the aircraft.
The AR8020T incorporates two feeder antennas; one antenna is 6.10 inches (155 mm) and the second antenna is 7.32 inches (186 mm). They are designed to be easily mounted through the fuselage in carbon airplanes. Each feeder antenna includes a coaxial portion and an exposed 31mm tip antenna. The last 31mm is the active portion of the antenna.
Installing the Receiver
Install the receiver in the normal position recommended by the airplane’s
manufacturer. Double-sided tape or foam can be used to secure the receiver in
place.
TIP: The hard case can be removed to help the AR8020T fit into a slim,
carbon fuselage. It is recommended to cover the bare receiver in heat shrink.
Mounting the Antennas
To install the antennas, drill two 1/16-inch holes in the desired antenna
mounting positions.
Slide the feeder antennas through the holes until the 31mm tip, and about 2mm of coaxial, completely exit the fuselage. Use a drop of CA or tape to fix the antenna to the fuselage.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the 31mm active portion of each antenna tip is
fully exposed.
TIP: Use the optional (sold separately) Antenna Exit Guides to safely
mount the antennas outside of the fuselage.
IMPORTANT: If the antenna is to be mounted internally (in the front of a
2.4GHz fuse), the coaxial can be taped into position. Ensure the 31mm tip is
located at least 2 inches from any significant metal or carbon structure.
Check that at least one antenna will always be in the RF visual line of sight of the transmitter (e.g. not blocked by carbon fiber structures) in all attitudes. This can easily be visualized by having a helper stand about 20 feet away and rotate the airplane in all attitudes, confirming that there is a direct line between you and at least one receiver antenna that isn’t blocked by carbon fiber structure.
Transmitter and receiver binding
Using an AS3X SAFE receiver requires a Spektrum™ DSM2® /DSMX® compatible transmitter with forwarding programming.
Binding
The AR8020T receiver must be bound to your transmitter before it will operate.
Binding is the process of teaching the receiver the specific code of the
transmitter so it will only connect to that specific transmitter. When new out
of the package, the AR8020T will automatically go into bind mode the first
time it is powered on.
-
Connect the optional SRXL2 remote receiver (SPM9747 or SPM4651T) if desired and any telemetry sensors to the main receiver.
-
Push and hold the bind button on the receiver while turning the receiver on. Release the bind button once the orange LED starts to flash continuously, indicating that the receiver is in bind mode.
TIP: It is still possible to use a bind plug in the BIND port if desired. This can come in handy if the receiver needs to be mounted in a location that is difficult to access, in which case a servo extension may be used for binding.
If using a bind plug, remove after binding to prevent the system from entering bind mode the next time the power is turned on. -
Put your transmitter in bind mode.
-
The binding process is complete when the orange LED on the receiver is solid.
Failsafe
In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will enable the selected failsafe mode. Smart Safe + Hold Last is the default setting on the AR8020T. Preset Failsafe and SAFE Failsafe are only available through forwarding programming.
SmartSafe + Hold Last
If loss of signal occurs, SmartSafe™ technology moves the throttle channel to
its preset failsafe position (low throttle) that was set during binding. All
other channels will hold their last position. When the receiver detects the
signal from the transmitter, normal aircraft operation resumes.
Preset Failsafe
With preset failsafe, you can set the specific control surface positions you
want to use if the signal is lost. When the receiver detects the signal from
the transmitter, normal aircraft operation resumes.
Only available through forwarding Programming.
Testing Failsafe
Secure the aircraft on the ground and remove the propeller. Test Failsafe
settings by turning the transmitter RF output off and noting how the receiver
drives the control surfaces.
Receiver Power Only
- If the receiver is turned when no transmitter signal is present, the throttle channel will not have a control signal to avoid operating or arming the electronic speed control.
- All other channels have no output until the receiver has linked to the transmitter.
Forward Programming
Verify your transmitter is updated your transmitter to the latest Spektrum
AirWare™ software to take advantage of forwarding Programming. See your
transmitter manual for updating instructions.
In your transmitter menu select Forward Programming - > Settings ->
-
Select Failsafe - > Select each channel and assign it to Preset or Hold Last.
When you select a different channel for Output, a new group of settings appears. Capture Failsafe Postions - >Hold the control sticks in the desired failsafe positions and select Apply.
Channel selections must be individually set in forwarding Programming to apply for the preset positions or each channel will default to Hold Last. The value captured will be reflected in the position shown for each channel. -
Initiate Receiver Bind Mode
Gives you the option of putting the receiver into Bind Mode from this menu.
Receiving Power System Requirements.
Inadequate power systems that are unable to provide the necessary minimum voltage to the receiver during flight have become the number one cause of in- flight failures. Some of the power system components that affect the ability to properly deliver adequate power include:
- Receiver battery pack (number of cells, capacity, cell type, state of charge)
- The ESC’s capability to deliver current to the receiver in electric aircraft
- The switch harness, battery leads, servo leads, regulators, etc.
The AR8020T has a minimum operational voltage of 3.5 volts; it is highly recommended the power system be tested per the guidelines below.
Recommended Power System Test Guidelines
If a questionable power system is being used (e.g. small or old battery, ESC
that may not have a BEC that will support high-current draw, etc.), it is
recommended that a voltmeter be used to perform the following tests.
View the receiver voltage during this test on your transmitter’s telemetry
screen, load the control surfaces (apply pressure with your hand) while
monitoring the voltage at the receiver. The voltage should remain above 4.8
volts even when all servos are heavily loaded.
How QuickConnect™ Technology Works
- When the receiver voltage drops below 3.5 volts, the system ceases to operate.
- When power is restored, the receiver immediately attempts to reconnect.
- If the transmitter was left on, the system reconnects typically in about 4/100 a second.
QuickConnect is designed to allow you to fly safely through most short- duration power interruptions, however, the root cause of these interruptions must be corrected before the next flight to prevent a crash.
NOTICE: If a brownout occurs in flight it is vital that the cause of the
brownout be determined and corrected.
IMPORTANT: When using Y-harness or servo extensions with Spektrum
equipment, do not use reversing harnesses. Using reversing Y-harnesses or
servo extensions may cause servos to operate erratically or not function at
all.
Flight Log
Flight Log data can help you optimize the control link for your aircraft. Flight Log data is displayed on telemetry capable Spektrum transmitters.
Using the Flight Log
A – Fades on the main receiver. | B – Fades on the remote receiver |
---|---|
L – Not available on AR8020T | R – Not available on AR8020T |
F – Frame losses | H – Holds |
Fades
Represents the loss of one bit of information on one receiver. Fades are used
to evaluate the performance of each individual receiver. If any single
receiver displays higher fade values it should be inspected and the antenna
repositioned to optimize the RF link.
Frame Loss
A-frame loss occurs when one complete data packet is missed. A single frame
loss does not represent a loss of control, but frame losses should be
monitored. In the air it’s normal to experience as many as 100 frame losses
per minute of flight. On the ground, the number of frame losses will be higher
because the signal is hampered by earth and moisture.
Hold
A Hold occurs when 45 consecutive frame losses occur. This takes about one
second, and in this event, the receiver moves the channel outputs to the
failsafe settings. If a hold ever occurs, it’s important to re-evaluate the
system and check every component. If your system displays a hold taking place,
diagnose the cause and resolve the issue before flying again.
It is normal to see a hold logged if you power OFF your transmitter and back
ON.
IMPORTANT: The Spektrum Flight Log (SPM9540) is not compatible with the
AR8020T receiver.
Range Testing
Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, it’s important to perform a range check. All Spektrum aircraft transmitters incorporate a range testing system, which reduces the output power to allow a range check.
- With the model resting on the ground, stand approximately 100 feet (30 meters) away from the model.
- Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position and put your transmitter into range test mode.
- You should have total control of the model in range test mode at 100 feet.
- If control issues exist, call Horizon Product Support for further assistance.
Advanced Range Testing
The Standard Range Testing procedure is recommended for most sport aircraft.
For sophisticated aircraft that contain significant amounts of conductive
materials (e.g. turbine powered jets, scale aircraft with metalized finishes,
aircraft with carbon fuselages, etc.), the following advanced range check
will confirm that all receivers in the system are operating optimally as
installed.
This advanced range check allows the RF performance of each receiver to be
evaluated independently. A telemetry-equipped Spektrum Transmitter is required
for the advanced range test.
- Stand approximately 100 feet away from the model.
- Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position and put your transmitter into range test mode.
- Have a helper position the model in various orientations (nose up, nose down, nose toward the transmitter, nose away from the transmitter, etc.).
- Observe the telemetry on your transmitter. Note any orientations that cause higher fades or frame loss values. Perform this step for at least one minute.
- Re-position any antennas related to higher fades as necessary.
- Re-test to verify satisfactory results.
- Repeat as necessary.
After one minute, advanced testing should yield:
H – 0 holds
F – less than 10 frame losses
A, B – Fades will typically be less than 100. It’s important to compare
the relative frame losses. If a particular receiver has a significantly higher
frame loss value (2 to 3X) then the test should be redone. If the same results
occur, move the offending receiver to a different location.
TIP: Use the fade values for A to investigate the performance of the
telemetry link.
Telemetry
The AR8020T features full-range telemetry and will provide receiver battery
voltage, flight log data, and vario and altitude data without any additional
sensors. The altitude and vertical speed (variometer) sensor (SPMA9589)
functions are already integrated into the SPMAR8020T. Additional telemetry
devices such as voltage sensors can be connected to the volt port, and XBus
telemetry sensors can be connected through the XBus connector. Every XBus
telemetry device has two XBus ports, and XBus telemetry sensors can be
connected in a daisy chain in any order.
The AR8020T is not compatible with the Spektrum Temperature Sensor (SPMA9571)
