The AR8000 DSM2 & DSMX Receivers do not flash when power is supplied via batt & ESC
 

I recently got a DX6/Receiver AR610 and a DX8/Receiver/AR8000 DSMX. I can not bind either of my (2) AR8000 DSMX or DSX2 to the DX8 transmitter. I fly airplanes nothing else. The receivers never flash LED signal alerting to entering bind mode. My planes are mostly electric so there is a certain way to bind them to Spektrum transmitters, but the DX8 is got me baffled. Neither of the (2) receivers will enter the bind mode when power is applied via ESC and battery.

I did bind the plane to my DX6 receiver AR610, but it want even flash with the AR8000. Help!

two things -

at the risk of being obvious, are you using the bind plug in the proper slot when applying power to the RX?

2) The AR8000 receivers require a satellite receiver to be connected in order to bind and operate. Are you using the satellite receivers with them? If so, perhaps the interconnect wires between the sat and main RX are bad?

Thank you very for your reply. I did have the bind plug in the correct slot. "Bind/Batt". I did find out what was wrong.

1) The wiring for the DX6/AR610 places yellow wire on top, brown on bottom when in bind mode or just plugging in servo plugs. On the DX8/AR800-DSMX or 2 wiring is reversed. Brown wire on top, yellow on bottom. As soon as I reconnected this the receiver began flashing displaying bind mode. Proceeded bind process and had success binding both receivers to DX8 transmitter.
