SANWA SYNCHRONIZED LINK SYSTEM USER MANUAL

Thank you for your purchasing SNAWA SUPER VORTEX STOCK, RX-482/RX-472/RX-47T Receiver.
This is SANWA Synchronized Link (SSL) User's guide for use with M12S/EXZES ZZ and SUPER VORTEX STOCK and
RX-482/RX-472/RX-47T. Before you start to use SSL, please read these instructions carefully to enjoy optimum performance.

ABOUT SSL SYSTEM

When used with a SANWA M12S or Exzes ZZ transmitter, RX-482/RX-472/RX-47T receiver and the SANWA SUPER VORTEX STOCK ESC,
the SANWA Synchronized Link (SSL) system allows you to change many ESC programming values directly from the transmitter using the
transmitter's CODE AUX function. In addition, telemetry data such as motor RPM, ESC temperature, motor temperature (if supported), and
battery voltage can be read directly from the SUPER VORTEX STOCK ESC and displayed on the transmitter.

OVERVIEW, CONNECTIONS AND MOUNTING

●Solder the included 12 AWG Power wire to connect ESC to battery and motor.

*IMPORTANT: When soldering your battery connector and battery wires to the ESC, please observe correct polarity -positive to positive and
negative to negative. When soldering the motor wires to the ESC and your motor, make sure that the wiring matches- A,B and C from the ESC
to A, B and C on yoru motor.
*WARNING: Do not leave the soldering iron on the mounting posts for any longer than is necessary to melt the solder. If the mounting posts
overheat, it can damage the ESC. A suitably hot soldering should not be left on the mounting posts longer than about 5 seconds.
If the solder is not melting within 5 seconds, use a hotter soldering iron.
Make sure to connect sensorcable to ESC and Motor.

SSL-COMPATIBLE RECEIVER
●Reception performance will be influenced by the inatllation place of receiver and antenna.
When you use RX-482 (built-in antenna type reciever), install reciever with antenna reception part in a high position.
●When you use RX-472 or RX-47T, mount antenna in antenna tube to protect antenna reception part (the thin tip at the ned of the coaxial cable).
●Do not bend Antenna Reception Part. Do not bend Antenna Coaxial Cable acutely.
●Do not pull on the antenna with force.

 M12S AND EXZES ZZ TRANSMITTER SETUP
●Set AUX TYPE in system menu of M12S or EXZES ZZ. The SANWA Synchronized Link (SSL) will not function if the transmitter is
not set up correctly. To be able to change Super Vortex Stock ESC Programmming values remotely, AUX (Auxiliary Type1) must be
programmed to "CODE 10". *Default setting is "NOR" which is not compatible with SSL.

RECIEVER AND SUPER VORTEX STOCK ESC SETUP

●Plug the SUPER VORTEX STOCK ESC throttle lead into the BATT/SSL port in reciever.
RX-472/RX-47T BATT/SSL PORT
WARNING: Never plug a non-SSL compatible device into the SSL port in the reciever.
If for some reason you don't want to utilize the SSL and telemetry features, or if you're using
a non-SSL compatible ESC, plug the ESC throttle lead into the CH2 - ESC port.

●Bind transmitter and reciever.

When binding M12S/EXZES ZZ and reciever, MODULATION must be "FH4T".
If modulation is set as "FH3/FH3F", SSL will not function.
●When SSL function is active, response mode is SSL original response mode.
Response Movement is between SSR and SHR.

*If you want to set "NOR/SHR/SSR" mode, save the setting values you chose RX-482
by transmitter SSL, in Super Vortex Stock ESC itself. And then plug the throttle lead
into CH2 in reciever.
*If race regulation prohibit the use of CODE AUX (CH3, CH4), plug the throttle lead into CH2 in reciever. BATT/SSL PORT
