Inh Override Rate:100% Switch:Inh
TIP: In order for the override to operate, you must assign it to a switch or trimmer. The default position for this function is inhibited.
7
EN
EXPONENTIAL
The Exponential (Expo) function affects the response rate of the steering,
throttle and/or brake. A positive steering expo value, for example, decreases
steering sensitivity around neutral to make it easier to drive at high speeds
in a straight line while still allowing for maximum turning radius. While
sensitivity with positive expo is decreased around neutral, it increases the
sensitivity near the end of travel.
To adjust Expo values: 1. Select Throttle or Steering. 2. Slide up or down to
adjust the Rate
value. 3. Press OK to save the selection. 4. Select an OTF switch to activate
Exponential.
IMPORTANT: Both positive and negative expo values are available. A positive
expo value results in the center being less sensitive (desirable most of the
time), while a negative value increases the sensitivity around center
(normally not used).
TIMER
The DX6 Rugged Timer function allows you to program a countdown timer and stop
watch (count up timer) to display on the main screen. An alarm sounds when the
programmed time is reached. You can program the timer to start using the
assigned switch position or automatically when the throttle moves above a pre-
programmed position.
BIND/FRAME MENU
NOTICE: Always rebind after changing the Frame Rate.
For compatibility with all types of servos, three frame rates are available: ·
11ms: Offers good response rates and is compatible with
most digital and analog servos (this is the default position). Works with
DSMR® surface receivers. · 16.5ms: Needed for older analog servos. Works with
DSM2® surface receivers. · 22ms: Needed for older analog servos. Works with
DSMR receivers.
Failsafe In the unlikely event that the radio link is lost during use, the
receiver will drive the throttle servo to its pre-programmed failsafe position
(normally full brakes) and all other channels will have no servo output. The
throttle failsafe position is set during binding. If the receiver is turned on
prior to turning on the transmitter, the receiver will enter the failsafe
mode, driving the throttle servo to its preset failsafe position. When the
transmitter is turned on, normal control is resumed.
TIP: You should always use the fastest response rate the servos can handle.
This gives the lowest latency and fastest response. If the frame rate is
incompatible with the servo, the servo will move erratically or, in some
cases, not at all. If this occurs, change the frame rate to the next highest
value.
IMPORTANT: failsafe activates only in the event that signal is lost from the
transmitter. Failsafe will NOT activate in the event that receiver battery
power decreases below the recommended minimums or power to the receiver is
lost. NOTICE: AVC receivers must be calibrated after binding for proper
operation.

SPEKTRUM DX6 RUGGED · TRANSMITTER INSTRUCTION MANUAL
EN
Binding Binding is the Process of teaching the receiver the specific
transmitter’s code called GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) and storing
failsafe values. When a receiver is bound to a transmitter/ model memory, the
receiver will only respond to that specific transmitter/model memory. Bind
Process 1. Use a bind plug or press the bind button to place the receiver
into Bind mode. The LED on the receiver will begin to flash. 2. Power on the
transmitter. 3. Select the Model Memory you wish to bind to. 4. Select Bind
from the List menu. 5. Move the throttle channel to the desired failsafe
position.
NOTICE: The throttle channel must stay in the failsafe position until binding
is complete.
6. Slide to Bind and press OK. The orange LED flashes on top of the
transmitter.
7. When the bind process is complete, the transmitter and receiver LEDs stop
flashing and turn solid orange.
8. Remove the bind plug from the receiver and keep it in a convenient place.
NOTICE: Always remove the bind plug from the receiver when the bind Process is
complete. Failure to do so will cause the receiver to enter bind mode the next
time you power on the receiver.

AVC TUNING (AVC receiver not included)
A value from 0 to 100 is used for three settings that affect tuning; steering
gain, throttle gain, and priority. These values configure the receiver to your
vehicle so you can tune it for optimal performance based on your driving
style. It is normal for gain and priority tuning results to vary.
WHAT IS GAIN?
A gain value of 0 will result in zero electronic corrections, and a gain of
100 will result in large corrections in an effort to hold a straight line. ·
Steering gain tells the receiver how strongly to assist steering
when the vehicle begins to spin out of control. · Throttle gain tells the
receiver how much it can assist on the
throttle when the vehicle begins to spin out of control. Default gain values
are 50. We recommend adjusting gain values 5 points at a time. Fine tune the
settings with smaller increments as desired performance is achieved. Avoid
large increases to steering gain values between tests.
WHAT IS PRIORITY?
Priority tells the receiver how much you want to be able to override the
electronic stability with your steering commands. A low priority means AVC
will make steering corrections when you turn wheel all the way. A high
priority will reduce AVC the more you turn the wheel. The default priority
value is 100. This means when you turn the steering wheel to the limit, the
gain is reduced to zero. This value will work well for a majority of drivers
WHAT IS HEADING HOLD?
Heading hold maintains the selected vehicle direction. It is normal to see the
wheels steer in the same direction it was last pointed. If a vehicle with AVC
technology is lifted off the ground and turned from side to side, the wheels
will steer in an effort to get back to the original heading. When driving,
heading hold only works when the steering wheel is left straight. The moment
you begin to turn the wheel, heading hold turns off. When the wheel is re-
centered, heading hold is turned back on.
AVC TUNING PROCEDURE
1. With the transmitter and receiver already bound and properly calibrated,
turn on the transmitter and vehicle.
2. Apply throttle, do not turn the steering wheel, and observe how well the
vehicle can maintain a straight line at high speed. · If the vehicle does not
make enough steering corrections to maintain a straight line, increase the
steering gain. If the vehicle fishtails due to wheel-spin, increase the
throttle gain. · If the vehicle wobbles (oscillates), reduce the steering
gain. The maximum gain values that prevent oscillations at high speed should
not be exceeded.
3. Drive the vehicle through accelerated turns and observe how it responds. ·
If the vehicle slows down going into a turn, reduce the throttle gain. · To
allow the vehicle to slide more with intentional wheelspin, reduce the
throttle gain. · To improve traction in slick conditions, increase throttle
gain. · If the vehicle won’t turn-in, increase the priority. · If the vehicle
spins out, there are two tuning options to consider; 1. Increasing throttle
gain will help correct for undesirable wheel-spin when the vehicle over-
rotates. 2. Reducing priority will give the receiver more authority to help
correct oversteer.
GENERAL TUNING TIPS
IMPORTANT: If you adjust the steering and throttle trim on your transmitter,
the receiver must be turned off and back on again in order to save the new
trim settings. Otherwise, AVC will not function properly.
· For beginner drivers, looser conditions, and vehicles with excessive power,
more gain will be helpful.
· For terrain with more grip and increased speeds, tuning will result in lower
steering gain values.
CHANGING BATTERY VOLTAGE
If the voltage is increased, the maximum steering gain setting will have to be
reduced. At the same time, when increasing voltage, increased throttle gain
will help manage the extra power. For example: If a truck set up for 2S is
upgraded to 3S, the truck may oscillate at high speeds on 3S, requiring
steering gain to be reduced. Throttle gain will have a bigger effect on 3S, so
increasing throttle gain may be beneficial.

BINDING
The SR515 receivers must be bound to the transmitter before they 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.
RECEIVER COMPATIBILITY
The SR515 receiver is compatible with Spektrum DSM2® and DSMR® radio control
surface systems. Install the receiver in the position recommended by the
vehicle’s manufacturer. Doublesided tape or foam may be used to secure the
receiver in place.
STR
THR
AUX1
Bind Button
FAILSAFE
Failsafe position is set during binding. In the unlikely event that the radio
link is lost during use, the receiver will drive all channels to its pre-
programmed failsafe position.
Standard Mode
If loss of signal occurs, SmartSafeTM technology moves the throttle channel to
its designated failsafe position (low throttle) that was set during binding.
All other channels hold their last position. When the receiver detects signal
from the transmitter, normal operation resumes.
Gas Mode
Preset failsafe is ideal for most nitro/gas vehicles. With preset failsafe,
all channels go to their preset failsafe positions if the signal is lost,
preventing an out of control situation. When the receiver detects signal from
the transmitter, normal operation resumes.
Standard Mode 1 Push and hold the bind button 2 Power on receiver 3 Release button after RX goes into bind mode (flashing LED) 4 Place transmitter in bind mode and finish binding

When the LED turns solid, power off the receiver, and then release the bind button
AUX2
AUX 3/BATT IMPORTANT: AUX 3 on the SR515 shares the servo port with the
battery. A Y harness (SPMA3008) is required on the AUX 3 port to use all 5
channels with a receiver battery.
RECEIVER ANTENNA
WARNING: Do not kink, cut or damage the antenna wire. The antenna is made of a
coaxial wire. If the outer sheath becomes damaged, the receiver will not work
properly. If the antenna is damaged in any way, replace the antenna before
attempting to use the receiver.
The SR515 receiver features a coaxial antenna design for easy installation in
almost any model. Think of the last 1 inch (32mm) on the tip of the antenna as
the active portion of the antenna, the coaxial portion leading up to it is
just an extension. Install the antenna so the active portion is positioned as
high as possible in the vehicle, and not “in the shadow” of any carbon fiber
or metal.
Active portion of the antenna
The case of the receiver can accept an antenna tube directly, making optimal
antenna placement easy (antenna tube not included). Tube size may vary, test
for proper fit.
