esCale 2.4Ghz fhss raDio system setup
2.4GHz radio systems have different characteristics than that of the conventional frequencies therefore please
read this section carefully to enjoy safe flight with the 2.4GHz system.
RECEIVER ANTENNA INSTALLATIoN
The Escale receiver has two antennas. Position the antennas as shown below to ensure a strong signal for
maximum range.
1. The two antennas must be kept as straight as possible. Otherwise it will reduce the effective range.
2. The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other. This is not a critical figure, but the most
important thing is to keep the antennas away from each other as much as possible.
Larger models can have large metal objects that can interfere with the RF signal. In this case the antennas
should be placed at both sides of the model. Then the best RF signal condition is obtained at any flying attitude.
3. The antennas must be kept away from conductive materials, such as metal and carbon by at least half an
inch. The coaxial part of the antennas does not need to follow these guidelines, but do not bend it in a
small radius.
4. Keep the antennas away from the motor, ESC, and other noise sources as much as possible.
* The two antennas should be placed at 90 degrees to each other.
Antenna
This photo demonstrates how the antenna should be placed. For actual installation the receiver must be
wrapped in anti-vibration foam to protect it from vibration damage.
The receiver contains precision electronic parts. It is the most delicate radio component on-board the model
and should be protected from vibration, shock and temperature extremes. To protect the receiver, wrap it in R/C
foam rubber or other vibration-absorbing material. If appropriate, waterproof the receiver by placing it in a plastic
bag and closing the open end with a rubber band before wrapping it in foam. If moisture enters the receiver,
intermittent operation or a failure may result. Wrapping the receiver in a plastic bag also protects it from fuel and
exhaust residue which, in some models, can work its way into the fuselage.
