Installation / Connection
Procedure: The Kingpad is connected to any proportional channel (5
pins). A switching channel (3 pins) is not suitable!
The XH plug has a reverse polarity protection.
In the model, this separate channel from the receiver must be
connected to the "Kingpad" input on the Graupner central module.
Driving and steering channel must continue to remain connected to
the central module as well!
First, remove the built-in switches and the aluminum trim board
Drill a 4 mm hole in the center of the plastic housing
Now the cables WITHOUT plugs are led through the hole.
Now remove the protective adhesive and place the pad in the
recess of the transmitter. Please push gently!
Bundle the cables of the Kingpad with the existing switch cables

in the transmitter.
Now the plugs are plugged into the white XH plug as shown
below.
The 5 pin XH connector can now be plugged into a free slot.
The installation of the hardware is complete.
The Kingpad is assigned to a receiver channel via the menu item
"Switch assignation" in the transmitter menu.

Setting the Kingpad
A co-ordination between the Graupner / Kingpad mc Edition and
the Graupner central module must take place so that the perfect
function is guaranteed. Proceed as follows:
Make sure there is a connection between the remote control
and the receiver.
Connect the steering channel to the "Kingpad" input on the
Graupner central module!
Press the white Prog button on the Kingbus central module for
more than 2 seconds until the yellow LED flashes in a second
rhythm
Push the upper left button. As confirmation for a detected key,
the Prog-LED on the KBCM goes off and remains off when pres-
sed!
Release the button. The Prog-LED flashes again and the next key
can be read.
Press the individual keys one after the other; starting from top
left to right and then bottom left to right!
After the twelfth key (S), the flashing key must be pressed again.
This will cause the Kingbus central module to automatically exit
programming mode and return to normal mode.
The Kingpad is now set and it can be used
