Model Setup for Taranis X9D Internal RF Module

Model Setup for Taranis X9D External RF Module The internal RF module of FrSky Taranis X9D is newly developed by FrSky under the name of XJT. Enter the MODEL SETUP menu (refer to the guide from the SD card for details, or download it from FrSky website).

Step 1 : Set the Mode for Taranis X9D Internal RF Refer to the table below and set the Taranis X9D to corresponding mode (D8, D16 or LR12 mode) for your
receiver.

Mode of Taranis X9D Compatible Receivers Number of Output Channels

D8

D16

LR12 X series (X8R, etc.)

L series (L9R, etc.) Up to 16 channels

12 channels 8 channels V8-II series in D mode (V8FR-II, V8R7-II,V8R4-II,VD5M,etc.) D series (D8R-II plus, D8R-XP, D6FR,D4R-II,etc.)

If you want to make full use of old V8 receivers, just plug DJT or V8JT to the external module slot.

Step 2: Set the Channel Range The internal RF module of Taranis X9D supports up to 16 channels. The channel range is configurable, and
needs double check before use. Step 3: Set the Receiver No. When you create a new model, the system will assign you a receiver No. automatically. The range of the
receiver No. is 00-63. 01 is the default receiver No. and 00 is not recommended here. Once the receiver is set to your required receiver number and finishes the binding procedure with Taranis X9D, the binding procedure will not need to be repeated next time, unless the receiver number is changed to another different number. In this case, you need to either set the receiver number to the previous one, or do the binding procedure again.

Step 4: Bind Bind refers to Taranis X9D binding mode. Move the cursor to “Bind”, press ENTER button, the cursor will flash and the speaker will beep to remind you that the RF module has entered the bind mode. Then put your receiver into binding mode and finish the bind procedure(refer to the receiver’s manual for details).Press Enter or EXIT
to exit.

Step 5: Set Failsafe mode There are 3 failsafe modes: No Pulse, Hold, Custom. No Pulse: no pulses output on lost signal, just choose, wait 9 seconds before the failsafe takes effect, and you are done. Hold: hold the last positions before signal is lost, just choose, wait 9 seconds before the failsafe takes effect, and you are done. Custom: pre-set to required positions on lost signal. Move the cursor to “Set” and press ENTER, you will see FAILSAFE SETTING screen below. Move the cursor to the channel you want to set failsafe on, and press ENTER .When moving the corresponding sticks or switches, you will see the channel bar moving. Move the channel bar to the place you want for failsafe and long press ENTER to finish the setting. Wait 9 seconds
before the failsafe takes effect. ●

●

●

● ●

Notice: SBUS port always outputs, No Pulse could not perform properly on it. Set “Hold” or”Custom” for SBUS port.
When the internal RF module of Taranis X9D is in D8 mode, failsafe could only be set on the
receiver side.

Step 6: Range Range refers to Taranis X9D range check mode. A pre-flight range check should be done before each flying session. Move the cursor to “Range” and press ENTER. In range check mode, the effective distance will be
decreased to 1/30. Press Enter or EXIT to exit.

. A collapsed antenna will reduce your flying range and cause a loss of control. It is a good idea to avoid pointing the transmitter antenna directly at the model, since the signal is weakest in that direction.

It’s important to understand the operating characteristics of Nickel–metal hydride battery (NiMH). Read the specifications printed on the label of your NiMH battery and charger prior to use. Failure to follow the proceeding precautions can quickly result in severe, permanent damage to the battery and its surroundings and possibly result in a FIRE!

. Do not use a NiMH battery if you suspect physical damage has occurred to the pack. Carefully inspect the battery for even the smallest of dents, cracks, splits, punctures or damage to the wiring and connectors. DO NOT allow the battery’s internal electrolyte to get into eyes or on skin—wash affected areas immediately if they come in contact with the electrolyte. If in doubt, place the battery in a fire-proof location for at least 30
minutes. Re ad d at a f r om a PC
