The new DC/DS-16 transmitters were developed and produced with
the cooperation of professional and world champion pilots. These
transmitter were created with the goals of maximum utility, simple
handling, maximum durability and the ultimate reliability of their
mechanical parts. The metal case, with its chemically resistant
outside surface treatment, provides maximum protection for the
interior components. The straightforward case shape makes
servicing easy. The metal, quad ball bearing equipped, stick gimbals
with their magnetic Hall sensors are another revolutionary design
concept used to make the DC/DS-16 among the world’s most
advanced R/C systems.
Purposefully placed at the top of the transmitter, the 3.8“ backlit, LCD
display with its wide viewing angle offers nearly perfect visibility in
just about any lighting condition. Thanks to its high resolution
display and use of a relatively large number of graphic images it was
possible to create a simple and intuitive setup procedure for
displaying telemetric data.
The DUPLEX EX family of products have been equipped with an
improved telemetric data transfer system which can be viewed on
the LCD transmitter display or saved for later analysis on a PC. The
transmitter allows the setup of audible notifications (optionally
created by the user), which can be related to actual telemetric values
or to sound alarms or signals which have been assigned to
conditions of various control elements.
Duplex 2,4GHz – the DC/DS-16 transmitters feature the Duplex
2.4GHz, frequency hopping, digital, data stream system originally
developed by Jeti Model in the Czech Republic. This system has been
reliably used for many years.
Built-in Telemetry – from the start, the DC/DS-16 transmitters were
designed and built with many attractive features and include the full
integration of all Duplex telemetry sensors.
Transmitters - these designs emphasize use comfort, state-of-the-
art appearance and use premium quality materials.
Precise Metal Gimbals – the transmitter gimbals are equipped with
Hall sensors and ball bearings for precision movement with an
almost unlimited lifespan.
LCD Display – oversized 3.8“ backlit LCD display with 320x240
resolution which is highly visable under any light conditions.
Li-Ion Battery – provides a proven and reliable energy source with a
high capacity (3200mAh) and a long service life.
Easy Charging – simply connect the wall power supply to the
transmitter. The DC/DS-16 may also be charged through their USB to
PC interface.The charging progress is shown on the DC/DS-16
display.

computer radio control system EN
Integrated Antenna – the antennas are located behind fully
integrated covers in both the DC-16 and DS-16 cases for protection
against mechanical damage.
Large Memory – 4GB memory space for storing models, sounds, and
telemetry data.
USB Connector – convenient connection to your PC. Fast firmware &
sound upgrades, telemetry data downloads.
Fast Navigation – 3D wheel-style interface combined with function
keys allow for speedy navigation within the DC/DS-16 menu.
Digital Trims – fully programmable trims and a revolutionary
automatic trimming function.
Swappable and Assignable Switches – all of the switches on the
DC/DS-16 transmitters (2- or 3-position) can be easily moved and
assigned to create a custom configuration that works best for your
application.
Programming – the logical and intuitive transmitter firmware is
designed to be simple to use. Just follow the step-by-step screens.
The creation of a new model can be accomplished with just a few
easy steps.
Sounds/Alarms – the DC/DS-16 transmitters are equipped with
audible alarms and also allows the use of user-recordable alarms and
sounds to keep you fully informed while also keeping distractions to
a minimum.
To make navigation faster, the DC/DS-16 transmitter Instruction
Manual has been divided into 5 basic groups:
1 . Introduction and product support.
2. Basic description and mechanical adjustments.
3. First time switch-on. Basic helicopter and airplane set-up.
4. Advanced programming. Detailed descriptions.
5. PC upgrade/upload, safety information, and special mixes.
Important parts of the instructions are separated from the text and
highlighted according their importance.
Advice Note Warning
Advanced modelers may want to begin with group 3 where you will
get all of the basic information for model set-up. This is the quickest
way to understand the basic ideas of the DC/DS-16 transmitter
programming and with this basic information you can begin to
create your own model. More advanced programming functions are
found in group 4. This is where you can find detailed descriptions of
all of the DC/DS-16 functions. The last section provides detailed
description of firmware upgrades, downloads, and special mixes.
