Futaba R7008SB User Manual

R7008SB	FASSTest-2.4GHz Bidirectional Communication System
	S.BUS2 / S.BUS Port and 8 Channels for Conventional System Receiver

1M23N17454

Thank you for purchasing a Futaba R7008SB FASSTest-2.4GHz compatible receiver. The R7008SB 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 and S.Bus output ports.

Applicable systems: Futaba FASSTest-2.4GHz system transmitter

Usage precaution

•Analog servos cannot be used with the R7008SB in the FASSTest

12CH mode.

•The R7008SB receiver can only be used with FASSTest capable transmitters.

•Don't connect to Extra Voltage before turning on a receiver.

WARNING

Changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s

authority to operate the equipment.

The R7008SB receiver should be protected from vibration by foam rubber, Velcro or similar mounting methods. Protect from moisture.

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 R7008SB 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 fuselageWARNING

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.
