*Follow the link procedure for each receiver manual. Applicable systems: Futaba FASSTest-2.4GHz system transmitter Thank you for purchasing a Futaba R7206SB FASSTest-2.4GHz compatible receiver. The R7206S B r e c e i v e r f e a t u r e s b i - d i r e c t i o n a l 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 R7206SB can also be switched to the Dual Rx Link System. This system can ensure safety by mounting two FASSTest receivers on one aircraft. Turn on the main receiver and link Transmitter in link mode For FASSTest 16ch Select dual mode and link secondary Usage precaution Analog servos cannot be used with the R7206SB in the FASSTest 12CH mode. WARNING Antenna installation for carbon fuselage You must leave 30 mm 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 Changes or modification not approved by the party responsible for Don't connect an S.BUS servo / gyro to S.BUS2 connector. compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment. The R7206SB 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. Turn on the sub receiver and link Antenna installation precaution Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire. About telemetry system When using the dual receiver function The telemetry function of the main receiver can be used Sub-receiver telemetry function is not available Telemetry for FASSTest12CH In FASSTest12CH mode, after linking R7206SB in telemetry OFF mode, link the receiver you want telemetry to. (The transmitter will show the telemetry of the last linked transmitter.) 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. Do not touch the antenna to metal, carbon, or other conductive material. Be sure that the two antennas are placed at 90 degrees to each other. The R7206SB 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. Link precaution Do not perform the linking procedure while the motor's main power is 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. Power on the system in this order: Transmitter first, followed by the receiver. If the R7206SB receiver was previously linked to another transmitter, make sure that transmitter is not operating while linking the receiver to the new transmitter. Connector precaution Don't connect a connector, as shown in this figure. It will short-circuit, if it connected in this way. A short circuit across the battery terminals may cause abnormal heating, fire and burns. DANGER Receiver Do not insert either a switch or battery in this manner. 5 Press and hold the SW Blinks ORANGE 6 Release SW Solid ORANGE Telemetry OFF mode 1 First Link 2 Second Link 1 First Link Telemetry OFF mode 2 Second Link e.g. FASSTest receiver C h a n g e t o t h i s C h a n g e t o t h i s mode when using mode when using FASSTest12CH in FASSTest12CH in dual RX link mode. dual RX link mode. 2 Display Telemetry HUB Servo for conventional system When all ports are used.

Multiple optional telemetry sensors may be connected to the S.BUS2 on the receiver and that data is in turn displayed on the transmitter. Link to the transmitter 1 Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each other, within 20 inches (half meter). 2 Turn on the transmitter. Place the transmitter into the receiver linking mode. 3 Turn on the receiver. 4 The receiver will wait for the linking process to begin for 2 seconds. Following that it will return to the normal operation mode. 5 When the LED of the receiver changes from blinking red to solid green, linking is complete.
(A link waiting state is ended in 3 second.) Refer to the transmitter's 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 not noticed. To avoid the problem, we strongly recommend that you 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. Compliance Information Statement (for Canada) This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
