    Sanwa/Airtronics RD6000

    Hi, can anyone tell me how to identify a black plug Sanwa RD6000 TX (the early one) from the later blue Z plug TX. I have been given an RD6000 with no battery so I don`t know which one it is. I know the Z plug version should have a sticker in the battery compartment but how would I determine which one I have if the sticker is not there perhaps. Got to be sure because I also know that plugging in a battery with the wrong coloured plug results in the magic smoke and a dead TX.

      Doesn`t help I`m afraid because the centre pin in the TX can be pos or neg depending on whether it`s the early version or the later Z connector version. There are no markings on the socket to indicate which is which. All I know is that the Z version should have a sticker in the battery bay but I can`t be sure that it hasn`t fallen off/been removed on this TX.

        Use a multimeter and measure the resistance from the charger jack to the battery connector. The centre pin on the charge socket is positive, the outer is negative.

          Hi Matt, thanks for the reply however are you sure that the centre pin of the charge receptacle has always been positive for both black plug and blue Z connector TX`s. Sorry to seem pedantic but this is a one shot trial and if I get it wrong I have a fried TX.

            To remove all doubt, mesure from the trainer socket instead. Just trace through the 0V on the trainer socket to the battery and charger pins. The following link has the pinout of the trainer socket.Corona DSSS V2 Hack Thread - Page 7 - RC Groups

            Hope this helps

                  That sounds like an ineresting project. I believe it is easy to splice a spektrum DX4 or DX6 RF module into the PPM trainer signal. Let me know how it goes.

                    Will do. Plenty to choose from on HK. Erring towards FRSKY at the moment but will do a search and see which is most popular.
