SMART THROTTLE
With Smart Technology the normal servo connector delivers the throttle signal
to the ESC, plus the ESC can send telemetry data like voltage and current
back to the receiver. The AR631 receiver throttle port (Channel 1 port only)
will automatically detect when a Smart compatible ESC is connected. ESCs
with Smart and IC series connectors can also pass along battery data from
compatible Spektrum Smart batteries. Spektrum Avian™ ESCs are compatible
with the AR631 receiver for Smart Technology features.
For Smart to function you must have a Smart ESC paired with a Smart
telemetry receiver, and a Spektrum DSMX transmitter with telemetry. An update
for your transmitter may be required for Smart features. See www.spektrumrc.
com to register and update your transmitter.
If a standard ESC or servo is plugged into the throttle port on the AR631
receiver, the throttle port will operate normally (PWM signal) like any
conventional RC system.
TELEMETRY
The AR631 features fly-by range telemetry and will provide receiver battery
voltage, and flight log data, plus Smart ESC telemetry when available. The
AR631 is not compatible with Spektrum telemetry sensors.
See www.spektrumrc.com for more information about Spektrum Telemetry
systems.

EN
BINDING
The AR631 receiver must be bound to your transmitter before it will operate.
Binding is the process of teaching the receiver the specific code of the
transmitter so it will only connect to that specific transmitter.
1. Push and hold the bind button on the receiver while turning the receiver on.
Release the bind button once the orange LED starts to flash continuously,
indicating the receiver is in bind mode.
TIP: It is still possible to use a bind plug in the bind port if desired. This
can come in handy if the receiver needs to be mounted in a location that is
difficult to access, in which case a servo extension may be used for binding.
If using a bind plug, remove after binding to prevent the system from
entering bind mode the next time the power is turned on.
2. Put your transmitter in bind mode.
3. The bind process is complete when the orange LED on the receiver is solid.
5
EN
FAILSAFE
In the unlikely event the radio link is lost during use, the receiver will enable the
selected failsafe mode. Smart Safe + Hold Last is the default failsafe mode on
the AR631. Preset Failsafe and SAFE Failsafe modes are only available through
Forward Programming.
SMARTSAFE + HOLD LAST
If loss of signal occurs, SmartSafe™ technology moves the throttle channel to
the failsafe position (low throttle) set during binding. All other channels will hold
their last position. When the receiver detects the signal from the transmitter,
normal aircraft operation resumes.
PRESET FAILSAFE
With preset failsafe, you can set the specific control surface positions you
want to use if the signal is lost. When the receiver detects the signal from the
transmitter, normal aircraft operation resumes.
Preset failsafe mode is only available through Forward Programming.
SAFE® FAILSAFE
SAFE Failsafe mode will work to automatically level your aircraft if the signal is
lost. In the forward programming menu you can select the bank and pitch an-
gles the aircraft will attempt to maintain during failsafe. We recommend setting
bank and pitch angles so the aircraft flies a gentle gliding turn, preventing a fly-
away. You must complete First Time SAFE Setup before this option is available.
SAFE Failsafe mode is only available through Forward Programming.
TESTING FAILSAFE
Secure the aircraft on the ground and remove the propeller. Test Failsafe
settings by turning the transmitter RF output off and noting how the receiver
drives the control surfaces.
RECEIVER POWER ONLY
• The servo ports will not have a control signal if the receiver is turned on
when no transmitter signal is present.
• All channels have no output until the receiver has linked to the transmitter.
INITIAL SETUP
1. Verify your transmitter is updated to the latest Spektrum AirWare™
software to take advantage of Forward Programming. See your transmitter
manual for updating instructions.
2. Install the receiver in your airplane.
3. Bind the receiver to your transmitter.
4. Complete the airplane setup on your transmitter including wing type, tail
type, channel assignments, mixing, sub trim and travel the same as you
would for any other aircraft without AS3X. Verify the center of gravity is
correct and test fly your aircraft.
IMPORTANT: Do not use open mixes for flight control surfaces when setting
up a model with the AR631 for AS3X and SAFE. Only use wing and tail type
options to configure flight controls, refer to your transmitter manual for more
information about wing and tail type features.

c. If the airplane oscillates, immediately slow it down and reduce gain.
Take note of which flight mode you are in and which axis the aircraft
oscillates around. You can increase or decrease the base gain values
of each axis separately for each flight mode within the Forward
Programming menu after landing.
d. Tune gain values for each axis within each flight mode.
ADVANCED TUNING
Basic gain tuning can be as simple as using a slider, but to fine tune the AS3X
system there are many setup and tuning options.
AS3X GAIN TUNING OPTIONS
1. In your transmitter’s menu select
Forward Programming -> Gyro Settings -> AS3X Settings
• AS3X Gains can be changed for each axis, you can increase the gain
values for roll, pitch and yaw separately to maximize the performance
without oscillation. We recommend making small changes on one axis
at a time.
• Priority tells the receiver how much to reduce gain when you move the
control stick away from center. If the Priority is set high (200) the receiver
will lower gain to zero with any movement on the control stick. Low
priority values will dampen more throughout the control input range. The
default value of 160 provides a well balanced feel for most pilots.
• If your aircraft is over or under sensitive to the range of gain available,
adjust the Gain Sensitivity. Agile aircraft with extreme control surface
deflections or high speed aircraft should use 1X. Moderate sport
airplanes should use 2X. Slow and inherently stable aircraft with mild
performance should use 4X.
2. Test fly your airplane to verify the configuration, land, and make adjust-
ments as necessary.
FLIGHT MODE TUNING OPTIONS WITHIN
FORWARD PROGRAMMING (IN THE RECEIVER)
1. Flight Modes in Forward Programming are set up in the receiver and are
separate from Flight Modes set up outside of Forward Programming. You
can set base gain values, and enable or inhibit AS3X and SAFE for each
Flight Mode.
Select Forward Programming -> Gyro Settings -> F-Mode Setup
a. Select FM Channel, assign a channel and switch to use for Flight
Modes. Select any channel that is not a control surface, throttle or gain.
TIP: If you have completed the First Time SAFE Setup, your Flight Modes will
already be assigned to a switch.
b. Each Flight Mode within Forward Programming can have AS3X and SAFE
enabled or disabled. For all flight modes with SAFE enabled, AS3X should
be enabled as well. Take into account your flight mode switch position,
then set the AS3X and SAFE Modes as desired for that switch position.
10
EN
TIP: If you have not completed the First Time SAFE Setup, you will not see
any SAFE related options on the F-Mode Setup Screens.
c. SAFE Flight Modes have an AS3X gain and a SAFE gain for pitch and
roll axis. Both of these values are used for SAFE and may be tuned
independently.
d. Enable the Panic function if you want to be able to trigger Panic
(bailout) from that flight mode. This setting only defines if Panic is
accessible from the selected Flight Mode. Complete Panic Mode
Setup under
Forward Programming -> System Setup -> SAFE/Panic Mode
Setup
e. For Modes with SAFE self leveling/angle demand, you can choose to
enable High Thr to Pitch and/or Low Thr to Pitch or not.
f. Move the Flight Mode switch to the other positions; a setup screen will
appear for each mode. If Panic is not enabled on a selected mode, you
will not be able to trigger Panic when you are in that Flight Mode. Set
the SAFE Mode and Angle Limits as desired for every mode.
2. When you add Flight Modes within Forward Programming, additional tuning
options are added in the AS3X Setting menu. Be sure to change through
all the flight modes with your assigned switch and verify values for each
feature for every flight mode.
Select Forward Programming -> Gyro Settings -> AS3X Settings
• AS3X Gains can be adjusted for each axis and each mode. Change the
flight mode switch position when this option is selected and a separate
screen will appear for AS3X gains on each flight mode. Adjust the
values in each mode and each axis as needed.
• Priority screens will also appear for each flight mode, adjust the values
as desired.
• Heading screens will appear for each flight mode and are defaulted to
zero. You can increase this value to make the aircraft hold its attitude
when control input is neutral. Heading gain on the yaw axis is generally
not recommended because it will require the pilot to steer the aircraft
through any heading changes.
• Fixed/Adjustable Gain will let you use fixed values or adjust the gain
from the assigned Gain channel. Each Flight Mode has a separate
screen with a separate set of values so each axis can be set to Fixed or
Adjustable in each Flight Mode.
• Capture Gyro Gains lets you easily set your base gain setting. If you
are using a slider, knob or trimmer to adjust gain when test flying, you
can set the value you arrive at as the base gain setting in the flight
modes using this function. Select this option from the AS3X Settings
menu, verify flight mode, verify the slider, knob or trimmer is in the
desired position, and select Capture Gyro Gains to set the values for the
chosen Flight Mode.

EN
ADDING FLIGHT MODES OUTSIDE OF FORWARD PROGRAMMING
(IN THE TRANSMITTER)
Flight Modes outside of forward programming are set up in the main
transmitter menu and are separate from Flight Modes set up within forward
programming. Flight Modes in the transmitter tie together transmitter-based
features like dual rates and expo, selected channels and positions, trim, and
voice/sound features.
1. Select Model Setup -> Flight Mode Setup
Assign a switch for the flight mode selection. See your transmitter manual
for more information about setting up Flight Modes on your transmitter.
2. Select Model Setup -> Channel Assign
Link the functions by assigning the Flight Mode channel. Select the same
Flight Mode channel you picked within forward programming, set the switch
to Flight Mode.
3. Select Model Setup -> Digital Switch Setup
Match the Flight Mode functions. Select Flight Mode in the switch selec-
tion, a set of values appears for each flight mode.
Set Flight Mode 1 to 100%, Flight Mode 2 to 0%, and Flight Mode 3 to
-100%.
4. Select Forward Programming -> Gyro Settings -> F-Mode Setup
Verify the flight modes change as expected when moving the Flight Mode
Switch.
5. (Only applies to transmitter with trimmer switches, DX9 and higher)
If you wish to be able to run a trimmer for gain independent for each flight
mode, Select Model Setup -> Trim Setup
Select F-Mode for the trimmer that is assigned to gain.
SAFE Setting menu.
The First Time SAFE Setup should be sufficient to fly your airplane, but to
fine tune the SAFE system there are many setup and tuning options.
Select Forward Programming -> Gyro Settings -> SAFE Settings ->
• SAFE Gains can be fine tuned for each axis within each Flight Mode.
• Angle Limits can be changed for each flight mode
• Fixed/ Adjustable Gain operates the same as this feature in AS3X, but
applies to SAFE gain. You can assign a separate SAFE gain channel for roll
and pitch if you have enough free channels. Use a different gain channel
for SAFE gain than what you have assigned for AS3X. It is possible to have
up to five different channels assigned for fine tuning gain. AS3X roll, pitch
and yaw, and SAFE roll and pitch. If you are limited by channels, make your
gain changes within Forward Programming.
• Capture Gyro Gains operates the same as this feature in AS3X, but
applies to SAFE operation
12
EN
(AS3X) System Setup
Select Forward Programming -> Gyro Settings -> System Settings ->
• Relearn Servo Settings can be accessed if any changes are made to the
model configuration outside of Forward Programming. If any changes are
made to servo reversing, travel, sub-trim, wing type or tail type, you can
execute this function instead of restoring factory defaults and redoing the
entire setup.
• Orientation can be changed from this menu if the receiver mounting is
changed.
• Gain Channel enables you to change the channel you are using to
manage gain.
• SAFE/Panic Mode Setup
1. Panic
Select a channel to trigger Panic mode. Chose any channel that is
not used for a control surface, throttle, flight modes, or gain. We
recommend assigning the momentary I button for Panic.
Delay will cause a two second delay when exiting panic mode
Panic Flight Mode selects a Flight Mode to pull the gain values from
for Panic operation; select a Flight Mode that is setup with SAFE
Roll and Pitch values on this page represent angle limits while in
Panic mode.
2. Throttle To Pitch
Low Thr to Pitch Threshold determines the trigger point below which
the airplane will descend nose down at the chosen angle.
High Thr to Pitch Threshold determines the trigger point above
which the airplane climbs at the chosen angle.
3. Attitude Trim allows you to redo the Capture Level Flight Attitude, and/
or manually fine tune the values based on flight testing.
4. SAFE Failsafe Flight Mode allows you to select a flight mode (with
SAFE configured) to act as a failsafe mode. Making this selection
enables SAFE Failsafe.
5. Failsafe Angles determine the attitude the aircraft will maintain in the
event of a failsafe. Set pitch and bank angles to hold the aircraft in a
gentle gliding turn, preventing a flyaway.
• Utilities -> Copy Flight Mode Settings
Select a Source and Target Flight Mode to transfer all Flight Mode settings
from one Flight Mode to another. All settings in the Target Flight Mode will
be overwritten.

CHANNEL LIMITATIONS
The AR631 can use up to seven extra channels for AS3X and SAFE functions;
one for Flight Mode selection, one for Panic Mode, and up to five for Gain.
You may use any channel up to 20 that is not a control surface or throttle for
these functions, and you do not need to use channels 5 and 6, keeping those
channels and ports on the receiver open for normal servo operation. However,
you may run into channel limitations depending on the number of channels on
your transmitter and the number of channels you are using on the receiver.
TIP: If you are experiencing limitations because of channel count, here are a
few options:
• You can operate the AR631 without a channel assigned to Flight Mode, but
you will only have access to AS3X options, not SAFE.
• You can set up one self-leveling mode to serve as Panic Mode so you don’t
need to dedicate a separate channel for Panic Mode.
• You can operate the AR631 without a gain channel assigned, and just use
fixed gain values throughout the configuration. To do this, first assign flight
mode to a channel, then change all gain values to fixed for flight mode 1,
then you can unassign the flight mode channel and it will remain in fixed.

FLIGHT LOG
Flight Log data can help you optimize the control link for your aircraft. Flight
Log data is displayed on telemetry capable Spektrum transmitters.
Using the Flight Log
A - Fades on receiver B - Not available on AR631
L - Not available on AR631 R - Not available on AR631
F - Frame losses H - Holds
FADES
Represents the loss of one bit of information on one receiver. Fades are used
to evaluate the performance of the receiver (Each individual receiver on a
MultiLink receiver). If a fade value is showing higher than the others, inspect or
reposition the recevier to optimize the RF link.
FRAME LOSS
A frame loss occurs when one complete data packet is missed. A single frame
loss does not represent a loss of control, but frame losses should be monitored.
In the air it is normal to experience as many as 100 frame losses per minute
of flight. On the ground the number of frame losses will be higher because the
signal is hampered by the dirt and moisture.
HOLD
A hold occurs when 45 consecutive frame losses occur. This takes about one
second, and in this event the receiver moves the channel outputs to the failsafe
settings. If a hold ever occurs, it’s important to re-evaluate the system and
check every component. If your system displays a hold, diagnose the cause and
resolve the issue before flying again.
It is normal to see a hold logged if you power OFF your transmitter and back ON.
IMPORTANT: The Spektrum Flight Log (SPM9540) is not compatible with the
AR631 receiver.
16
EN
RANGE TESTING
Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, it’s important to
perform a range check. All Spektrum aircraft transmitters incorporate a range
testing system, which reduces the output power to allow a range check.
1. With the model resting on the ground, stand approximately 100 feet (30
meters) away from the model.
2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position and put
your transmitter into range test mode.
3. You should have total control of the model in range test mode at 100 feet.
4. If you have control issues, review the flight log data to help reposition your
receiver, and repeat the range test.
5. If control issues persist, call Horizon Product Support for further assistance.
ADVANCED RANGE TESTING
A telemetry-equipped Spektrum Transmitter is required for the advanced
range test. This test will confirm if the AR631 is sufficent for your application.
This advanced range check allows the RF performance of the receiver to be
evaluated in different orientations to search for reflections or shadows affecting
the control signal.
1. Stand approximately 100 feet away from the model.
2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position and put
your transmitter into range test mode.
3. Have a helper position the model in various orientations (nose up, nose
down, nose toward the transmitter, nose away from the transmitter, etc.).
4. Test every possible orientation the aircraft could encounter during flight for
approximately one minute.
5. Observe the telemetry on your transmitter. Note any orientations that cause
higher fades or frame loss values.
6. Reposition the receiver further away from conductive materials as
necessary.
7. Retest to verify satisfactory results.
8. Repeat as neccesary.
After one minute, advanced testing should yield:
H - 0 holds
F - Fewer than 10 frame losses
A - Fades will typically be fewer than 100
For sophisticated aircraft that contain significant amounts of conductive
materials (e.g. turbine powered jets, scale aircraft with metalized finishes,
aircraft with Large Li-Po batteries, aircraft with carbon fiber fuselages, etc.),
we recommend a different Spektrum receiver with longer antennas and/or a
receiver that supports remote receivers (MultiLink technology).

GLOSSARY
AS3X - Stabilization technology that dampens wind and turbulence. Designed
to support advanced flyers, AS3X does not include self-leveling technology.
SAFE Envelope - (Intermediate Mode) Stabilization technology that uses AS3X
to deliver normal flight performance, but with limited bank and pitch angles to
prevent the airplane from getting into extreme attitudes.
SAFE Self Level/Angle Demand - Stabilization technology that will make the
airplane return to level flight when the control stick is centered.
Panic Mode - Sometimes called a bailout mode, Panic is a SAFE stabilization
mode that can return an airplane to level flight from any attitude. It is usually
assigned to a momentary button.
Flight Modes in Receiver - Determine what stabilization modes the
aircraft operates in. All the associated stabilization features to tune the flight
stabilization can be adjusted per Flight Mode in the receiver (Base Gain, Priority,
Heading, etc).
18
EN
Flight Modes in Transmitter - Manage rates, expo, voice/sound output, and
other transmitter based configurations.
Heading - An optional feature of AS3X, heading will make the airplane try to hold
its attitude when the control is relaxed. This is not a self-leveling feature, it only
makes the aircraft track accurately.
Gain - Tells the stabilization system the level of damping it should provide.
SRXL2 - A Bi-Directional data communication protocol that enables digital
devices to communicate over a single signal wire.
Forward Programming - Programming directly on the receiver from the
transmitter. The receiver has all screens, menus and settings in its internal
memory. The receiver is using the telemetry link to the transmitter for the
interface, the screen and buttons.
Throttle Cut - Disables throttle function
Oscillation - Sometimes called a wag, this is a back and forth movement similar
to a vibration that may appear like a wobble. It may occur around any axis, roll,
pitch or yaw. It is most likely to occur on one axis, not all three.
Overshoot - When the stability system makes corrections it is a balancing act,
if the response is too strong the system will go past where it should stop, this is
called an overshoot.
Angle Limits - Only available in SAFE modes, these values define the limits for
the bank and pitch angles.
High Thr to Pitch - This setting defines the angle the airplane will climb at when
the throttle is raised above half. This is only available in Self Leveling modes.
Low Thr to Pitch - This setting defines the angle the airplane will descend at when
the throttle is lowered below half. This is only available in Self Leveling modes.
Brownout - If the receiver power supply drops below 3.5volts, the receiver will
not have sufficient power for operation and the resulting loss of control is call a
brownout. A brownout results from an inadequate power supply to the reciever, it
is a failure outside of the receiver.
