FUTABA R6208SB User manual

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 1to 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.

S.BUS compatible/FASST-2.4GHz (Multi-ch) system/8 channels/
high-speed receiver
• Dual antenna diversity
• Size: 0.98 x 1.86 x 0.56 in. (24.9 x 47.3 x 14.3 mm)
• Weight: 0.49 oz. (13.8g)
• Power requirement: 3.7V to 7.4V
(Voltage range: 3.5 to 8.4V)
*Be sure that when using ESC's regulated output the capacity of the ESC
must meet your usage condition.
*The Battery F/S voltage is set for 4-cell NiCd/NiMH battery. Battery F/S
function doesn't work properly when other type battery is used.
Thank you for purchasing a Futaba R6208SB S. B US
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 oper-
ate in the normal mode even if set to the high-speed mode.

Do not insert a connector, as shown right.
• It will occur short-circuit, by inserting this way. A short
circuit across the battery terminals may cause abnormal
heat, fire and burning.
What is S.BU S?
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.
[Co n n e c t i o n by S.BUS s y s t e m ]
* 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.

* Connect the short-plug to the DATA port only when an S.BUS servo
channel is set. Normally do not connect the plug.
2Connect an S.BUS servo to the conventional system
output connector(1to 8) corresponding to the channel
you want to set.

* At once when turning on the receiver, the channel setting is com-
pleted in mode A.
(To switch to mode B, press the Link/Mode button until
the red and green LED starts to blink simultaneously.
The channel setting is completed in mode B.)
* The LED corresponding to the setting mode blinks.
Mode A: Red blinks 3 times
Mode B: Green blinks 3 times
