super multi-rotor controller
-3-
Following the diagram on the previous page that matches the model
type you have, plug each of your model’s ESCs into the matching ESC
ports in the Super Multi-Rotor Controller. Next, plug the included throttle
adapter between the THR port in the Super Multi-Rotor Controller and the
throttle port in your receiver, then plug the flight control adapter between
the A.E.R. port in the Super Multi-Rotor Controller and the aileron (yellow
wire), elevator (red wire) and rudder (brown wire) ports in your receiver.
When making these connections, pay careful attention to the polarity of the
different connections, both at the Super Multi-Rotor Controller (refer to the pin-out diagram in the
Overview and Mounting section) and your receiver. The aileron, elevator and rudder connectors are
single wires and should be connected to the signal pin in those receiver channel ports.
DSM2 and DSMX Receiver Binding:
If you’re using a standard or S-BUS receiver, bind your transmitter and receiver pair following
the instructions in your transmitter User’s Guide. If you’re using a DSM2 or DSMX receiver, follow
the steps below to bind the transmitter and receiver pair along with the Super Multi-Rotor Controller.
1) Connect your receiver to the DSM2/DSMX Receiver Port, then set DIP switches 3 and 4 for receiver
type Standard or S-BUS. Plug your model’s flight battery into its power adapter to power ON the
Super Multi-Rotor Controller and wait for 2 seconds, then disconnect the flight battery.
2) Set DIP switches 3 and 4 to match the receiver type you’re using (DSM2 or DSMX), then plug the
flight battery in again to power ON the Super Multi-Rotor Controller. Once your receiver’s bind LED
begins to flash, turn on your transmitter to complete the binding procedure.
transmitter setup and esc calibration
Prior to making any connections to the Super Multi-Rotor Controller, you must set up your transmitter
and calibrate the throttle control range of each of your ESCs.
Transmitter Setup:
The transmitter you choose should be a
4-channel or more computer radio. Create a
new standard aircraft model (normal wing,
normal tail, one aileron servo, etc.) and ensure
all programming values are set to their default
values. Trim and sub-trim should be zero, all
mixing controls should be turned off, throttle hold should be disabled, all channel high and low EPAs
should be set to -100% to +100% (or both 100%, depending on transmitter brand) and servo reversing
values should be set as shown in the table. In addition, if you’re using an S-BUS, DSM2 or DSMX
receiver, make sure that the output channel sequence matches what’s shown in the table.
ESC Throttle Range Calibration:
Bind your transmitter and receiver following the instructions in your transmitter User’s Guide. One at a
time, connect each ESC/Motor to your receiver’s throttle channel port and calibrate the ESC’s throttle
range and verify that the motor is throttling up and down as expected. Don’t worry about the direction
the motor is turning yet. That can be changed (if necessary) after all connections are made.

transmitter calibration
When you use the Super Multi-Rotor Controller for the first time or change to a new or different receiver,
you must calibrate the Super Multi-Rotor Controller to your transmitter.
1) Pull the throttle stick all the way back and center the elevator/aileron stick. Turn your transmitter
ON, then plug your model’s flight battery into its power adapter to power ON the Super Multi-Rotor
Controller. The Status LED will flash twice to indicate what flight mode and receiver type is
configured, then turn solid green, indicating the motors are locked.
