Spectrum receiver AR8020T with telemetry

Package contents

The package contains RC receiver Spektrum AR8020T, cable for measuring external voltage, instructions for use in English, German, French, Italian and Czech.

Characteristics

The new RC receiver Spektrum AR8020T with telemetry is compatible with the Spektrum SMART system. The receiver has an integrated barometric sensor that measures height and vario. Option to connect an optional SRXL2 receiver (order number SPM9747 or SPM4651T).

The 8-channel Spektrum ™ AR8020T receiver is a compact-sized DSM2® and DSMX® receiver suitable for a wide range of aircraft. It is equipped with full range telemetry, integrated barometric sensor, contains XBUS ports and temperatures that can be used after adding other telemetry sensors available separately.

Note: The Spectrum DX7S and DX8 Gen 1 transmitters will not display altitude or variometer telemetry with the AR8020T receiver.

Two antennas and compact dimensions

RC aircraft models with a significant part of the carbon fiber or laminate construction can create a shielding effect and reduce the range. The Spektrum AR8020T receiver is designed to eliminate range problems in aircraft made of these materials by having two independent external antennas to ensure safe signal reception. One antenna is 155 mm long and the other antenna 186 mm. They can be easily mounted outside the fuselage. Thanks to the compact dimensions and longitudinally placed connectors, installation is easy even in narrow hulls.

Compatibility with the Spektrum Smart system

Spetrum AR8020T is ready for use with Avian SMART controllers . Receiver output No. 1 (THRO - gas) automatically detects the connection of the SMART controller.

If a SMART controller is connected, the receiver automatically reads the available telemetry data from the controller (and possibly from the connected SMART battery). Otherwise, a standard servo signal will appear on the output and a conventional controller or servos can be connected.

Adjustable Fail-Safe

The AR8020T RC receiver supports 2 types of Fail-Safe system

1. Preset Failsafe : In the event of a signal failure, the channel will go into a preset deviation (deviation during pairing). This type is used for gliders.
2. SmartSafe + Hold Last : moves the throttle channel to the preset position (low throttle) that was set during pairing. All other channels will keep their last position. As soon as the receiver detects a signal from the transmitter, the control function is restored. We recommend using this type of Fail-Safe for standard (acrobatic) models.

The Fail-Safe type can be set for individual channels using a computer with the Spektrum Programmer + SPMA3065 cable application or programmable transmitters in the Forward Programming menu. By default, the gas channel is set to Preset and the other channels to Last Hold. The deviation of the Preset type is set during pairing or via the Forward Programming menu.

Full range telemetry

The transmission power of telemetry is 100 mW EIRP, which guarantees the full range of telemetry . The receiver is equipped with an XBUS port for connecting other telemetry sensors and a connector for measuring external voltage. The receiver has an integrated barometric sensor , so the receiver measures both height and vario. For a list of available sensors, see the Recommended accessories. A temperature sensor is not available for this receiver.

Easy pairing with a button

You no longer need a pairing connector! To pair, simply press the button with the Spectrum logo on the top of the receiver. Pairing can be activated both when the power is turned on and by pressing the button until the power is turned on. This is useful where pressing the button and connecting the power at the same time is very difficult to handle "at once".

The possibility of pairing the receiver using a pairing connector connected to the Bind / Prog / SRXL output was still maintained. / p>
