RADIO CONNECTIONS AND OPERATION
Use caution when connecting all extension leads so you maintain proper battery polarity. The white wire is the signal (s), the black wire is ground
(–) and the red wire is the power (+).
1. Insert one end of the male/male extension into the controller port labeled RX input, then insert the other end into the gear channel of the
receiver.
2. Connect the right gear unit connector to one of the included extensions. Connect the other end of the extension to the controller port labeled
Gear 3. Do the same for the left gear unit, connecting the extension to Gear 2. If you have a tail retract, connect the tail gear unit connector
to Gear 1.
An additional extension lead, up to 12 inches (300mm), can be used if a longer lead is needed to reach the retract gear extension lead. If you
want to reverse the direction your retract operates, disconnect it from the controller and reconnect it in the opposite direction so the polarity
is reversed.
3. Connect the gear door servo connectors to the appropriate controller ports, noting proper polarity. Refer to the Programming Modes below to
determine which controller ports are correct for your application.
4. Power ON your transmitter and receiver.
5. Operate the channel control on your transmitter to which you have connected the gear.
6. The gear channel may need to be reversed in your transmitter for correct operation. If using a 2.4GHz system, always rebind after servo
reversing to reset the receiver failsafe.

INSTALLATION
NOTICE:
Always ensure the retracts and wheels are installed so that there are no obstructions when extending and retracting the struts and that
the wheels roll straight when the rudder is at neutral. Failure to do so could result in damage to the aircraft or gear.
If the retract stops moving before reaching the fully retracted or extended position, use the transmitter gear switch to reverse the direction of
movement and then check for obstructions. The retract will not draw power from the battery if it is blocked.
1. Install the left and right retracts in your aircraft (right retract (A) shown) using the included M4x20 (I) screws or M4 countersunk wood
screws.
2. Assemble the axle (G), wheel and setscrew (F) onto each strut.
3. Tighten the setscrew (F) in the strut to mark the axle, then mark the axle to length.
4. Loosen the setscrew, remove the axle and use a lat ile to make a lat spot at your mark. Cut the axle to length at your other mark.
5. Install the wheel/axle assembly on the strut (B) and tighten the setscrew (F) using thread lock.
6. Insert the strut (B) through the steel shaft (K) and adjust the length of the strut/wheel to allow the wheel to be centered in the wheel well
when retracted.
7. Tighten the shaft screws (C) to hold the strut while still allowing rotation to aid in aligning the wheel.
8. Check the alignment of the wheel when extended to ensure it aligns with the centerline of the model, then tighten the shaft setscrew (E) and
screws (C) using thread lock.
9. Install the door ball link (H) onto the strut, then install the remaining ball links and 3mm nuts (J) onto the gear doors using thread lock.
10. Install the ball link pushrods (D) and adjust the length as needed to align the gear doors.
If installing a retract on a wood mounting rail, drill holes smaller than your mounting screws irst. Install the mounting screws in the drilled
holes, then carefully remove them. Harden the threads in the wood using thin CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive).
OPTIONAL AUXILIARY BATTERY
The controller is designed to be powered by the receiver battery through the retract channel port or a separate battery. To use an auxiliary battery,
connect a switch (SPM9530) and the battery to the auxiliary lead of the controller. The controller will automatically pull from this battery. The input
voltage will affect the speed of the retract. Increase the speed using a higher voltage battery such as a Li-Fe (6.6V) or Li-Po (7.4V) battery.
PROGRAMMING
