S.BUS2 / S.BUS Port and 6 Channels for Conventional System Receiver

◆

Thank you for purchasing a Futaba R7006SB FASSTest-2.4GHz compatible receiver. The R7006SB 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. It also
includes both standard PWM output ports (1-6ch) and S.BUS output ports. The R7006SB can also be switched the FASST(Multi-ch/7-ch) System.

●

Applicable systems: Futaba FASSTest-2.4GHz / FASST (Multi-ch,7ch) -2.4GHz system transmitter

Usage precaution

• Analog servos cannot be used with the R7006SB in the FASSTest
12CH / FASST High-speed mode.

WARNING

Changes or modification not especially approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void the user’ s authority to operate the
equipment.

The R7006SB 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.

Antenna installation precaution

Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire.

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 R7006SB 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

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.

Be careful of connector insertion

Don't connect an S.BUS servo / gyro to S.BUS2 connector.

Link precaution

Do not perform the linking procedure while the motor's main power
connected or the engine is operating as it may result in serious injury.

When the linking is complete, please cycle the receiver power and
ensure the receiver is properly linked to the transmitter.

Please power up your system in this order. Transmitter rst, followed
by the receiver.

If the R7006SB receiver was previously linked to another transmitter,
make sure that transmitter is not operating while linking the receiver to
the new transmitter.

FASSTest

FASSTest is a bidirectional communication system between the
R7006SB 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.

within 20 inches (half meter).

Turn on the transmitter. Place the transmitter into the receiver

(A link waiting state is ended in 1 second.)

• Refer to the transmitters operation manual for complete details on how
to place the transmitter into the linking mode.

• If there are many FASSTest systems turned on in close proximity, your
receiver might have difficulty establishing a link to your transmitter.
This is a rare occurrence. However, should another FASSTest
transmitter/receiver be linking at the same time, your receiver could link
to the wrong transmitter. This is very dangerous if you do not notice
this situation. In order to avoid the problem,we strongly recommend
you to double check whether your receiver is really under control by
your transmitter.

• If the System Type of the transmitter is changed, the receiver will need
to be re-linked to the transmitter.

S.BUS2   

S.BUS2 extends S.BUS and supports bidirectional communication.
Sensors are connected to the S.BUS2 port.

Completion of a link will change LED of TMA-1 green from red only for a

moment.

Please cycle the receiver power.

FASST

When switched, the R7006SB can use the FASST-Multi/7ch mode. When the
FASST system is used, the telemetry cannot be used. The FASST system has

a Normal mode and a High-speed mode. However, in the High-speed mode,
analog servos cannot be used.
