what's mean a rapid flash led on RX ?
Hello Jim,
my old IFS RX is flashing always (fast) Red and or maybe orange and doesn't bind anymore with the TX, now that I got your new RX my old IFS one does'nt work. I work on a new Jet and this Rx was working perfectly during all the setting and before when flying my Mirage, suddenly today after making the balance for my plane the Rx stay with this flash red led , it is not the normal red flash that wait for the TX to be on and then turning to green, to be sure I test again your new RX and all is ok. if I powering while pushing the programm button ( I tried to connect to XDP it is not reconized) led just change to solid orange , impossible to bind ( to bind I need a normal flashing red at start ), when it is powered any action on the programm button does not changing anything the led is always flashing ( it is more like a strobe than really flashing. I hope not to have a fatal issue on this two years old RX ( XR-16 ifs ) here a link on you tube I made a short video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ED9X35PBDBE the begining of the movie show correct Red & green flash with Extremlink Rx received from you last week, the second IFS Graupner RX have a rapid flash Red led and never link to the TX thank you for your help! |

Rapid red flashing on the receiver is not a possible option. Since you say that this is a v3.8 receiver, try doing a RESET: press and HOLD the programming button on the receiver while applying power (like you would to be it into XDP programming mode). Keep holding the button down until you see the LED change from orange to slowly flashing red. This should take about 8 seconds to reach this point. Once the LED is flashing red, you can release the button. After the flashing has stopped, remove power. Now bind the receiver to the transmtiter module and see if it now behaves normally.
Nice jet. What is it? |

thank's for your help , I did what you said but with no success I had the led changing from orange to slowly flashing red, after I release the button and after flashing stopped I removed the power, but when I power to make the bind I have again the fast red flash "strobe" I did 4 or 5 times nothing change. the jet is a old Spectre I just copy the same color of my Sapac L39 on it, I work a lot for this color scheme not easy to do... |

Return the Rx for a replacement. It is odd that you can't peform the reset since that is part of the v3.8 function. Fast flashing red (only) is not a LED sequence that can ever occur on the receiver. So, I would say it is somehow defective.

Should I return it to you , how much it will cost me ?, I buy it from a store in France that didnt exist anymore... so I understand it is not reparable as you say "replacement". by the way today I made my maiden with the spectre using the xtremlink RX from my electric L39, very nice flight but the cameraman was not on his good day I will try a video by tomorrow. Thank you for your assistance, Daniel |
