This guide provides you with information about the Detrum RXC6 receiver. This information
includes an overview of the receiver along with step-by-step instructions for binding and
installing it.
Review the Receiver’s Features
• Compact size makes it suitable for small-scale aircraft such as park flyers
• 2.4 GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency-Hopping Spread
Spectrum (FHSS) technology to maximize performance and minimize interference
• Diversity antennas combined with advanced processing maximizes the strength and
reliability of the signal between the transmitter and receiver
• Fail-safe places all controls in their fail-safe positions if the receiver loses signal
• 6 input ports so you can control up to 6 channels

Review the Receiver’s Ports and Connection Orientation
The RXC6 has the following ports:
• AILE—ailerons
• ELEV—elevator
• THRO—throttle/ESC
• RUDD—rudder (and steering in many models)
• GEAR—retracts
• AUX1—auxiliary, often used for flaps
With some of the Detrum transmitters, such as the GAVIN-6C, you can program some of these
ports, such as the GEAR and AUX1 ports, to be controlled by specific switches on the
transmitter. For example, you might want to use the AUX1 port for flaps and program a three-
position switch on the transmitter (such as the FMOD switch on the GAVIN-6C transmitter) to
control this port.

When connecting servos to the receiver, ensure the control wire (orange or white) is toward the
top of the receiver. Make sure the servo connectors are firmly installed in the receiver to ensure
they don’t come loose during flight.
Bind the Receiver to a Transmitter and Model
To use the receiver, you must bind it to a transmitter. During this process, the transmitter and
receiver establish a unique code so that the transmitter recognizes the receiver as being used for a
specific model. This connection also prevents interference from other transmitters.
You only need to bind the receiver once for each model with which you use it. If you move the
receiver to a new model, you must bind it to that model (it won’t be bound to the previous model
any more).
It’s easier to bind the receiver to a model before installing it, but the same process works whether
the receiver is installed or not. Use the following steps to bind the RXC6 to a Detrum transmitter,
such as the GAVIN-6C (these steps may be different with other types of Detrum transmitters;
refer to the Motion RC Supplemental Guide for your transmitter for the specific steps for you):

1. Turn the transmitter on.
2. When the home screen is displayed, press ENT.
3. Select Model Set and press ENT.
4. Select Model and press ENT.
5. Highlight the model you want to bind to the RXC6 and press ENT. The model you
selected becomes active.
6. Press EXT twice to move back to the home screen.
7. Turn the transmitter off.
8. Use the Motion RC Supplemental Guide for your transmitter to determine which switch is
used to bind the transmitter to a receiver. For example, the GAVIN-6C uses the
TRAINER switch while the GAVIN-8C uses the SC switch. Some transmitters, such as
the GAVIN-6A, don’t have a specific switch for binding; instead you just turn on the
transmitter.
9. Connect the RXC6 receiver to at least one servo and to the ESC; if the receiver is already
installed in a model, skip this step.
10. Power the receiver by connecting a battery to the ESC. The Bind light on the receiver
flashes rapidly.

11. Press and hold the Bind button down until the Bind light flashes more slowly; when the
light slows down, release the Bind button. The receiver is in Bind mode.
12. Hold the switch you identified in step 8 in the bind position (such as the TRAINER
switch on GAVIN-6C, which you hold toward the front of the transmitter) and turn the
transmitter on. You hear the bind tone on the transmitter and the Bind light on the
receiver becomes solid, indicating the bind process is complete.
13. Move the control associated with the servo you connected to ensure it moves. If so, the
model is bound. If not, repeat this process until it is successful.
14. Power off the receiver.
15. Power off the transmitter. You are ready to install and program the receiver.
Mount the Receiver in a Model and Secure its Antennas (If
Required)
1. Connect the servo and ESC leads to the corresponding ports on the receiver.
2. Position the receiver in the model trying to avoid the antennas being blocked by the
battery, ESC, or other components. As you decide where to place the receiver in the
model, you should also ensure the antennas remain pointing 90 degrees to each other so
they have the most reliable reception possible.
3. Use double-sided tape or hot glue to mount the receiver in the model.
4. If the antennas run along a surface, such as the side of the fuselage, secure the antennas in
position with tape. If the antennas are hanging in space, they will probably be fine. The
key point is to ensure they remain at a 90-degree angle to each other and aren’t covered
by batteries or other components that could distort or disrupt signals from the transmitter.
