Futaba R6208SB User Manual

R6208SB	S.BUS compatible/FASST-2.4GHz (Multi-ch) system
	8 channels/high-speed receiver

Thank you for purchasing a Futaba R6208SB S.BUS compatible receiver.

The R6208SB has an S.BUS system output port and a conventional system channel output. It can also be used with conventional system servos, etc. in addition to S.BUS system compatible servos and gyros, etc.

In addition, the operating mode (high-speed mode/normal mode) can be selected.

*However, channel outputs 7 and 8 for conventional system operate in the normal mode even if set to the high-speed mode.

Usage condition on "High Speed mode"CAUTION

When using the high-speed mode, use a Futaba digital servo (including brushless servo) or S.BUS

servo at conventional system use channels 1 to 6. Analog servos cannot be used.

•The use of analog servos may cause servo trouble.

•When using analog servos, select the normal mode, and use channel outputs 7 and 8.

Applicable systems: T8FG 2.4GHz (on 8ch mode), TM8 (on 8ch mode), T10CG 2.4GHz (on 10ch mode), TM10 (on 10ch mode), TM14 (on multi-ch mode)

What is S.BUS?

Different from conventional radio control systems the S.BUS system uses data communication to transmit control signals from a receiver to a servo, gyro, or other S.BUS compatible device. This data includes commands such as “move the channel 3 servo to 15 degrees, move the channel 5 servo to

30 degrees” to multiple devices. The S.BUS devices execute only those commands for their own set channel. For this reason, it can be used by connecting multiple servos to the same signal line.

*Can also be used together with conventional servos.

*When using servos with a remote battery pack, use S.BUS Hub with Cable (2-way/remote battery pack use).

Please refer to the instruction manual of S.BUS Hub with Cable (2-way/remote battery pack use) for the connection method.
