Installation in the transmitter:
1. Open the transmitter.
2. Mount the encoder with the 8 nuts tot he transmitter case.

3. Connect the encoder in the transmitter
- White connector on the multi out.
- Black servo connector on the channel 6,7 or 8 (free to choose)
(The channel chosen in the transmitter is the channel used on the
receiver later on)
Installation in the model.
Indien alles correct is aangesloten branden er geen leds.
Mocht de rode led toch nog branden controleer of alles juist is aangesloten
en ook op hetzelfde kanaal is aangesloten.

Signal Setup for the first use
After installation of the module it’s important that the signal setup mode is
done correctly.
Signal setup for the MS16:
1. Place the jumper on the Sign. Setup
2. Turn on the transmitter and keep one switch pressed until the
end of this setup mode.
3. Turn on the receiver.
4. After 5 seconds the red LED will start to blink
5. Release the switch and disconnect the decoder.
6. Remove the jumper on the signal setup and reconnect the
decoder.
7. The signal setup has been programmed for your transmitter.

Memory / Puls setup
This setup makes it possible to program any output of the ms16.
With memory mode the output will be active until you press the same
channel again. With puls mode the output will be deactivated when you
release the switch.
Memory / Puls Setup
1. Place the jumper on Mem. Setup
2. Turn on the transmitter
3. Turn on the receiver
4. Be sure that the decoder is connected tot he right channel.
5. The red light will light up very short to confirm the mem setup.
6. Any output you activate right now will be an memory output.
7. Any output inactive will be an puls output.
8. After about 20 seconds the mem setup will end automatically and
confirm this with an red blinking led.
9. Disconnect the decoder from the receiver.
10. Remove the jumper from mem setup
11. Reconnect the decoder tot he receiver and confirm your config.

Examples of connecting
Below we will give some examples for how to connect different items tob e
connected tot he decoder outputs. It’s important to know that this module
like almost any other electronics out there uses N channels to switch on or
off. This means it switches the outputs to ground. This makes it possible to
use multiple voltage on the module outputs with switching.
Connecting LEDS to the outputs
Connecting an small DC motor
*To turn the motor in both ways (lef tand right) you’ll need an extra module:
Motor Reversal Module you can find this in our webshop.

FAQ
Here we will help you out with solving some general issues.
1. What if my module won’t work?
Please contact our helpdesk for support: suppor[email protected]l
We are here to help you out or try our chat on www.wetronic.nl
2. Are there any other transmitters supported outside the Robbe F/FC
At this moment we only support Robbe F-14,FC-16,FC-18,FX18,FC-28
and with an special adapter print the Robbe Terratop and promars
transmitters.
3. Waar moet ik opletten als ik een motor aansluit op de module?
It’s important that the motor is not using high currents. The module
is mainly designed for small items to be switched. With our heavy
module you can switch up to 3A on each output. But motors have an
high peak current at start up what can damage the decoder. Any
motor larger then micro we advise you to use an relais or Motor
reversal module.
4. Is the MS16 compatable with the MS12 or original Robbe?
Unfortanly the MS16 is not backwards compatable with the MS12.
Also the MS16 is not compatable with the original robbe modules.
But for robbe we have an special decoder of the MS16 series. This
special decoder works with the original robbe encoders.
