SPM9540 Flight Log User Guide The Flight Log is an optional component that was originally designed for testing, but now it is offered as a handy device that gives you a clear digital readout of your radio performance. The Flight Log is not required, but for complex aircraft it provides an intuitive analysis of the overall performance of the radio installation. Some of today’s models can be very demanding. The Flight Log ensures that your system is working properly and you have optimized the radio installation. The Flight Log provides the following information:

• System Voltage—Receiver Pack Voltage • Antenna Fades

• Frame Losses • Holds Guidelines for DSM2

• An antenna fade represents a loss of a bit of information on that specic antenna. Typically, it’s normal to have as many as 50 to 100 antenna fades during a flight.

• A frame loss represents simultaneous antenna fades on all attached receivers. If the RF link is performing optimally, frame losses per flight should be less than 20.

• A hold occurs when 45 consecutive frame losses occur. This takes about one second. If a hold occurs during flight, it’s important to re-evaluate the system, move the antenna to a different location and/or check to make sure the transmitter and receivesr are all working correctly. Guidelines for DSMX

• Holds—Holds are unacceptable. If a hold occurs, please investigate and correct the issue before next flight.

• Frames—<100- In conventional models during a 10 minute ight, frames should typically be less than 100 on all receivers.

• Fades—Use Fades for comparison only. All attached receivers should have similar Fades. If not, investigate poorly performing receivers (location, antenna orientation, etc) and correct. Operational Differences between DSM2

receivers while using the Flight Log: DSMX is frequency agile while DSM2 finds two quiet channels and remains on those channels. Consequently, because DSMX operates on quiet and noisy channels, it’s common to have more Antenna Fades and Frame Losses than when using DSM2 in busy 2.4GHz environments. Specifications Dimensions: 1.06 x 0.71 x 0.45 in (27.0 x 18.0 x 11.5mm) Weight: 0.24oz (6.69 g) The Flight Log displays the following data:

• Displays antenna fades

• Displays frame losses

• Receiver battery performanceEN

Compatible Receivers: AR600 AR6115 AR6115e AR6210 AR6255 AR7010 AR7110/R AR7200BX AR7610 AR8000 AR9010 AR9110 AR9210 AR9310 AR10000 AR12010 AR12110 AR12200 A servo extension can be used to allow the Flight Log to be more conveniently plugged in without having to remove the aircraft’s hatch or canopy. Depending on your model, you might choose to permanently mount the Flight Log using doubled-sided tape. Step 1- After a flight and before turning off the receiver or transmitter, plug the Flight Log into the Data port on the receiver. The screen will automatically display voltage, e.g. 6v2= 6.2 volts. When the voltage reaches 4.8 volts or less, the screen will flash, indicating low voltage. Step 2- Press the button to display the following information: A—Antenna fades on receiver A B—Antenna fades on receiver B L—Antenna fades on the left receiver R—Antenna fades on the right receiver F—Frame loss H—HoldsEN
