What is SmartSafe?
SmartSafe is a unique form of fail-safe that prevents unexpected motor startup when connecting the battery and shuts off the motor if the signal is lost. The AR6000 receiver incorporates a unique fail-safe system called SmartSafe that makes it ideal for electric models. Fail-safe positions for all channels are stored during binding. If the receiver is turned on before the transmitter, all channels except for the throttle will acquire their programmed fail-safe position. The receiver, however, will not output a signal to the throttle channel, preventing the electronic speed controller from arming. When the transmitter is turned on and the throttle is placed in the low throttle position, the receiver transmits a low throttle signal to the throttle channel, allowing the speed control to arm. After connection, if the signal is lost, the throttle will go to its preset position (low throttle) while all other channels will hold their last command.
