R7003SB FASSTest-2.4GHz Bidirectional Communication System S.BUS2 / S.BUS Port and Conventional System Receiver

Thank you for purchasing a Futaba R7003SB FASSTest-2.4GHz compatible receiver. The R7003SB receiver features bi-directional communication with a FASSTest Futaba transmitter using the S.BUS2 port. Using the S.BUS2 port an impressive array of telemetry sensors may be utilized. R7003SB has a merit which acquires the information from the model on flight by connecting an optional telemetry sensors. It also includes both standard PWM output ports and S.BUS output ports. 4 ports of R7003SB can choose an output channel from the

11 modes.

Usage precaution

Applicable systems: Futaba FASSTest-2.4GHz systemtransmitter

If R7003SB does not use S.BUS/S.BUS2 system, it can perform only operation of 3 channels. However, if S.BUS/ S.BUS2 system is used, use of the maximum channel of a transmitter can be performed. You have to use S.BUS/ S.BUS2 servo, in order to use S.BUS/S.BUS2 system.

Antenna installation precaution

•Analog servos cannot be used with the R7003SB in the FASSTest 12CH mode.

•The R7003SB receiver can only be used with FASSTest capable transmitters.

Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire.

WARNING

Changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

The R7003SB receiver should be protected from vibration by foam rubber, Velcro or similar mounting methods. Protect from moisture.

Keep away from conductive materials to avoid short circuits.

Don't connect the servo or gyro which do not correspond to S.BUS2 port S.BUS2.

•When the servo and gyro which do not correspond to S.BUS2 are connected to S.BUS2 port, there is a danger of falling by malfunction.

Turn on the power in transmitter → receiver order. In addition, always check the operation of all the servos before flight.

Do not insert or remove the servo connector while the receiver power is ON.

Do not bend the coaxial cable. It causes damage.

The antennas must be mounted in such a way to assure they are strain relieved.

Keep the antenna as far away from the motor, ESC and other noise sources as you possibly can.

Be sure that the two antennas are placed at 90 degrees to each other.

• The R7003SB has two antennas. In order to maximize signal reception and promote safe modeling Futaba has adopted a diversity antenna system. This allows the receiver to obtain RF signals on both antennas and fly problem-free.

Antenna installation for carbon fuselage WARNING

You must leave 30mm at the tip of the antenna fully exposed. The exposed antenna should be secured so that it cannot move around or back inside of your aircraft.

•Since the S.BUS servo switches the operation mode automatically according to the
type of signal (S.BUS signal/PWM signal) from the receiver, if the connector is inserted						Servo for conventional
or removed while the power is ON, an S.BUS connected servo will be erroneously

FASSTest

FASSTest is a bidirectional communication system between the R7003SB receiver and FASSTest capable transmitters. Multiple optional telemetry sensors may be connected to the S.BUS2 on the receiver and that data is in turn displayed on the transmitter.
