Specification

AR9000 DSM2 9-Channel Receiver (SPMAR9000)

By combining two internal, alongside one further remote receiver, the AR9000 has the capability of performing the most sophisticated monitoring of the RF environment yet seen in aero modelling to date. In addition one remote receiver can be added to increase that capability even further.

Spektrum radios simultaneously transmit on two frequencies and this combined with multiple receiver locations result in unmatched monitoring of the RF environment providing optimum path diversity and a more secure radio link.

This option is particularly useful in large scale aircraft and jets where remote receivers can be easily sited around the plane to increase the RF ‘eyes’ of the system and avoid the kind of problems encountered with installation of more conventional systems. To facilitate the sheer physical size of some of these planes remote receiver extension leads for the remote receivers are available in 150mm,230mm, 305mm,610mm and 915mm lengths.

The Spektrum Flight Log (SPM9540) is compatible with the AR9000 receiver. Whilst the plane is being flown it logs data about the overall performance of the RF link as well as individual data from the main and remote receivers. Once the plane lands this data can be reviewed and used to optimise the receiver installation. It also gives an indication as to the level of 2.4GHz “noise” present in the flying environment, and displays the receiver voltage so you can be sure that power capacity is sufficient for the next flight.

Neither the Flight Log or the optional remote receiver are actually essential for the AR9000 to operate but with more complex models they can be of great benefit. All models are different, and each can present unique problems which customised radio installation, assessed by hard data can help to eliminate.

AR9100 DSM2 9-Channel PowerSafe Receiver (SPMAR9100)

Aimed at larger giant scale and jet models that utilise high power high torque power hungry servos the Spektrum Powersafe combines the roles of both receiver and power control centre. The unit itself isn’t actually a receiver, rather it’s a robust power bus designed specifically to handle high current loads. From a safety standpoint power input can come from two batteries via twin 16 AWG input leads and EC3 connectors making a truly redundant dual battery system.  Another feature with safety in mind is the soft switch. Servo current is routed around the switch so, should it fail for any reason, power to the system will not be interrupted.
 
The AR9100 is a full range system uniquely featuring a main unit that houses the power bus providing up to 35-amps continuous and 50-amps peak current to power the model’s system. Three remote receivers linked by 23, 30 and 60cm remote receiver extensions constantly monitor the RF environment and in larger and more complex models an additional fourth receiver can be added (SPM9545 - sold separately), increasing even further the units ability to constantly monitor the RF environment. Through extensive testing Spektrum engineers discovered that mounting the receiver in the typical location at the end of the servo and battery proved not to be the optimum location to provide the clearest RF signal, hence the remote location of the 9100’s receivers . The dual path redundancy of Spektrum's DuaLink™ technology, plus the fact each of the receivers is mounted in a slightly different location exposing them to a different view of the RF environment and creates a bullet-proof RF link in all conditions.

AR9300 DSM2 9-channel receiver optimised for carbon fibre fuselage installations (SPMAR9300)

With a minimal weight of just 18.23 grams the AR9300 DSM2 9-channel receiver is specifically designed for carbon fibre fuselage installations. Carbon fibre can create an RF shielding effect that can significantly reduce radio range when using conventional receivers and antennas. The AR9300 features an antenna design that resolves the critical issues presented by installations within this type of environment.

Spektrum Remote Receiver (SPM9545)

The remote receiver can be used as a replacement for the AR6200, AR7000 and the AR9000 remote receivers. It can also be used as an optional fourth remote receiver with the AR9000. Using multiple receivers situated around the model means even more of the RF signal can be monitored, thus offering unequalled security in the air.

The remote receiver includes one300mm extension; however, various lengths of receiver extensions are available to accommodate all sizes of planes and installation needs.
