12-2 Installation
Wrap the main receiver in protective foam and fasten it
in place using rubber bands or hook and loop straps. In
electric airplanes or helicopters, it’s acceptable to use
thick double-sided foam tape to fasten the main receiver
in place.
Mount the remote receiver at a 5cm distance to the
main receiver, as each receiver sees a different RF
environment. In Airplanes mount the receiver on the
middle of the servo tray and the satellite receiver on the
side of the fuselage with a minimum of 5cm distance.
Important: Y-Harnesses and Servo Extensions
When using a Y-harness or servo extensions in your
installation, always use standard non-amplified
Y-harnesses and servo extensions. Amplified Y-harnesses
can/will cause the servos to operate erratically or not
function at all. Amplified Y-harnesses were developed
several years ago to boost the signal for some older
PCM systems and should not be used with Spektrum
equipment. When converting an existing model to
Spektrum, be certain that all amplified Y-harnesses and/
or servo extensions are replaced with conventional, nonamplified
versions.

Receiver 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 AR10000 has a minimum operational voltage of 3.5
volts; it is highly recommended the power system be
tested per the guidelines below. Perform the following
ground test with a voltage always over 4.8V, as this could
compensate for the discharge or load that is greater
during flight.
Power System Guidelines
When building a large or complex airplane with multiple,
high-torque servos, use a voltmeter such as HAN 172.
Plug the voltmeter into an open channel port in the receiver
and with the system on, 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.
2. Please bear in mind the cable diameter of the receiver
battery. The standard receiver battery cable is good for
3A and peaks of 5A. If you are using stronger servos, you
could have voltage problems, if the cables do not meet
the correct dimensions.
3. If you are using a voltage regulator, perform this test
for 5 minutes. With that you can see that the regulator
keeps its performance over a longer period.
4. For complex or big scale models, we highly
recommend two or multiple receiver batteries.
Please follow also here the test procedure as described
in number 1 to ensure the receiver voltage is over 4,8
volts under all conditions.
CAUTION: If using NiMH packs, always ensure the
battery is fully charged. It is recommended that a
fast charger with a meter that monitors the input mAh be
used and that the expected charge capacity is reached
during charge.
