Spektrum SPMAR636 Receiver Specification

The Spektrum SPMAR636 Receiver is a high-performance 6-channel receiver designed for RC aircraft enthusiasts seeking advanced functionality and reliability. Featuring DSMX technology, the AR636 offers superior signal fidelity, reducing the risk of interference and ensuring a robust connection even in crowded radio frequency environments. The receiver integrates AS3X stabilization, which enhances flight stability by counteracting the effects of wind and turbulence, providing a smoother flight experience. This stabilization system is programmable via a compatible transmitter or the Spektrum programming interface, allowing users to tailor the stabilization settings to their specific aircraft and flying style.

The AR636's compact design makes it suitable for a wide range of aircraft, including park flyers, sport models, and even some smaller giant-scale models. It requires a standard 3.5-9.6V power supply, and its lightweight, compact form factor ensures minimal impact on the aircraft's balance and performance. The receiver is equipped with dual diversity antennas, which help maintain signal strength and reliability by automatically switching to the antenna with the best reception.

Installation is straightforward, with easy-to-access ports for servo connections and a bind button for quick pairing with compatible transmitters. The AR636 is compatible with Spektrum's range of transmitters and supports a full range of telemetry features when used with additional telemetry sensors, allowing pilots to monitor real-time data such as battery voltage, signal strength, and more. Overall, the Spektrum SPMAR636 Receiver is a versatile and reliable choice for hobbyists looking to enhance their RC aircraft with advanced control features and stabilization technology.

Spektrum SPMAR636 Receiver F.A.Q.

How do I bind my Spektrum SPMAR636 receiver to my transmitter?

To bind the SPMAR636 receiver, first power on your transmitter while holding the bind button. Then, power on the receiver and press the bind button on the receiver. The LED will flash and then turn solid, indicating a successful bind.

What should I do if my SPMAR636 receiver is not receiving signals?

Ensure the receiver is properly bound to the transmitter. Check that the antennas are not damaged and are positioned correctly. Also, verify that there is no interference and that the transmitter and receiver are on the same frequency.

How can I update the firmware on my SPMAR636 receiver?

You can update the firmware using the Spektrum USB Programmer and the Spektrum programming software. Connect the receiver to the programmer and follow the on-screen instructions in the software to complete the update.

What is the correct way to install the SPMAR636 receiver in an aircraft?

The receiver should be mounted in a way that minimizes vibration and is secure. Ensure that the antennas are positioned at different angles to maximize signal reception.

How do I perform a range test with the SPMAR636 receiver?

Enter range test mode on your transmitter, then walk away from the model. The control surfaces should respond consistently. If the range is insufficient, check the antenna positions and make sure there is no interference.

Can I use the SPMAR636 receiver with other brands of transmitters?

The SPMAR636 is compatible with DSMX and DSM2 Spektrum transmitters. It may not work with other brands unless they support these protocols.

What are the common troubleshooting steps for a non-responsive SPMAR636 receiver?

Check power connections, ensure the receiver is bound correctly, verify that the transmitter and receiver are on the same frequency, and inspect the antennas for any damage.

How do I set up the AS3X stabilization on the SPMAR636 receiver?

Use the Spektrum programming cable and software to connect to the receiver. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure AS3X settings according to your aircraft type and flying style.

How can I test the AS3X functionality after setup on the SPMAR636 receiver?

After enabling AS3X, gently move the aircraft and observe the control surfaces. They should react to counteract the movement, indicating that AS3X is functioning correctly.

What maintenance is required for the SPMAR636 receiver to ensure optimal performance?

Regularly check the receiver for physical damage, ensure the antennas are intact and clean, and periodically update the firmware using the Spektrum software.
