Multiplex Receiver Rx-5 M-Link 2.4 Ghz 55817

The Multiplex Receiver Rx-5 M-LINK 2.4 GHz (MPX55817) is a compact, telemetry-capable five-channel receiver designed for space-critical installations. Built on MULTIPLEX 2.4 GHz M-LINK FHSS technology, it provides reliable control and built-in downlink telemetry in a lightweight, in-line connector format ideal for smaller models.

Out of the box, the Rx-5 transmits receiver voltage and Link Quality Indication (LQI) without the need for external sensors, and includes an MSB (MULTIPLEX Sensor Bus) interface for connecting additional telemetry modules. An integral button and LED support binding, FAIL-SAFE programming, RESET and clear operating status indication.

Key Features

• 2.4 GHz FHSS M-LINK technology for robust, high-sensitivity reception
• Integrated telemetry for RX voltage and LQI as standard
• MSB sensor bus interface for external telemetry modules
• Button/LED for binding, FAIL-SAFE, RESET and status
• Prepared for dual-receiver diversity (requires lead # 8 5070)
• PC updatable via built-in interface using free MULTIPLEX Launcher and USB lead (# 8 5149)
• Compatible with MULTImate (# 8 2094)
• HOLD / FAIL-SAFE functions with supplementary pre-amplifier for excellent range
• Integral error counter/data logger for voltage and signal events
