The new DC16 transmitter was developed and produced with the
cooperation of professional and world champion pilots. This
transmitter was created with the goals of maximum utility, simple
handling, maximum durability and the ultimate reliability of its
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 DC16 one of 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-16 transmitter features 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-16 transmitter was
designed and built with many attractive features and includes the
full integration of all Duplex telemetry sensors.
Design of the DC-16 Transmitter – this design emphasizes user
comfort, state-of-the-art appearance, and uses premium quality
materials.
Precise Metal Gimbals – transmitter gimbals 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-16 may also be charged used through its USB to
PC interface.The charging progress is shown on the DC-16 display.

4.5 Digital Trims.
Transmitter gimbals are used for controlling the basic flight
functions like throttle, roll(aileron), pitch(elevator), and yaw(rudder).
Immediately under the transmitter gimbal sticks you can see four
push-buttons which are the programmable, digital trim buttons.
The digital trims are used for fine trimming of the flying model. When
the transmitter is turned off, the trim values are stored in memory
and are recalled when the system is turned back on.
Every model has its own trim setup. Also all flight modes may be
configured to use different trim configurations. By pressing one of
the buttons, the screen will automatically change to display the
graphic position of that trim. The transmitter trims feature an
acoustic step and centre beep alarm.

For fast charging use the included wall power supply. Charging time
is around 3 hours. During the charging process the transmitter can
be in switched-on or off position. The charging status is clearly
shown by lit red and green LEDs. If the transmitter is switched on
during the charging process you can see the charging progress
directly on the LCD display.
Transmitter Charging:
1. Plug-in the included power supply to a wall outlet.
2. Plug the main charging connector into the transmitter. If the
green LED goes out, the transmitter is not fully charged. The
red LED indicates the battery charging status.

5 RF Transmitter Modules
In order to achieve the highest transmission quality and reliability of
the DC-16 transmitter, we have decided to equip the radio with two
independent DUPLEX 2,4GHz transmitter modules. The transmitter
modules have separate antennas. From the point of transmission
they are fully independent from each other. The RF modules of the
transmitter can operate in following modes:
• „Initial“mode – the primary transmitter RF module is active.
The secondary module can act as redundant unit. If the primary
module does not receive feedback from the receiver, the transmitter
can switch to the secondary transmitter RF module and
communicate with the receiver.
• „Dual“mode – the transmitter RF modules communicate
independently from each other with two different receivers. The
receivers can be interconnected via an intelligent synthesizer, for
instance the JETI Enlink, or the basic control functions can be divided
between two independent receivers. In this mode one part of a
model can be controlled with one receiver using the first transmitter
RF module, the other part of a model with a second receiver and the
second RF module. In an instant you have created a dual, redundant
flying system with two receivers and two RF modules.
• „Trainer“mode – the secondary RF transmitter module is
assigned to communicate with the instructor/student transmitter
only. Communication with the model takes place via instructor’s
transmitter only. If the DC-16 transmitter is in the „Instructor“ mode,
the primary RF module communicates with the model and the
secondary RF module communicates with the student’s transmitter.
If you are going to operate the DC-16 transmitter in France, your
transmitter should be setup for French transmitting mode „Main
menu -> System ->Configuration -> French mode -> Yes“
Note:
In the „Student“ mode the DC-16 transmitter communicates via the
secondary RF module with the instructor’s transmitter. If you operate
two of the DC-16 transmitters; one of them in the „Instructor“ mode
and the other one in the „Student“ mode, the transmitters
communicate between each other via the secondary RF transmitter
module. With this advanced system NO additional equipment is
necessary.
