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 turn-
ing 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 protect-
ed 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 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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.
S.BUS2precaution
DANGER
Don't connect a connec-
tor, as shown in a before
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.
WARNING
Only S.BUS2 capable devices may be connected
to the S.BUS2 port. Standard S.BUS servos and
gyros should not be connected to the S.BUS2 port.

R7008SB 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.

WARNING
Do not perform the linking procedure while the
motor's main wire 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 first, followed by the receiver.
If the R7008SB receiver was previously linked to
another transmitter, make sure that transmitter
is not operating while linking the receiver to the new
transmitter.

Linktothetransmitter
Easy Link ID allows FASSTest receivers to link
to compatible transmitter without pressing the
link button on the receiver.
1Bring 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.
3Turn 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 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.
ChannelModes
The R7008SB is capable of changing its channel allocations as described in the table below. This is
especially important when using the receiver in a dual receiver mode. See your transmitter operation
manual for complete details on operating in the dual receiver mode.
1Press and hold down the Link/Mode
button on the R7008SB receiver.
2Turn the receiver on while holding down
the Link/Mode button. After power up, the
button can be released.
3The LED should now be blinking red in
one of the patterns described by the chart
below.
4Each press of the Mode/Link button
advances the receiver to the next mode.
5When you reach the mode that you wish
to operate in, press and hold the Mode/
Link button for more than 2 seconds.
6Once locked into the correct mode the
LED will change to a solid color.
7Please cycle the receiver(s) power off and
back on again after changing the Channel
Mode.
FASSTest
FASSTest is a bidirectional communication system
between the R7008SB 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.
*Please see your transmitters operation manual
to configure transmitter to operate with telemetry
sensors.
S.BUS2
S.BUS2 extends S.BUS and supports bidirectional
communication. Sensors are connected to the
S.BUS2 port.
*Only S.BUS2 capable devices may be connected
to the S.BUS2 port. Standard S.BUS servos and
gyros should not be connected to the S.BUS2
port.

WARNING
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.
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 or removed while the power is
ON, an S.BUS connected servo will be erroneously recognized and may stop.

WhatisS.BUS?
* Set the channel of S.BUS servos by using an
SBC-1 channel changer, CIU-2 USB serial inter-
face or the programming software resident in the
18MZ transmitter.
* Can also be used together with conventional
servos. However, conventional servos cannot be
used by the S.BUS output.
* When using servos with a remote battery pack,
use S.BUS Hub with Cable (2-way/remote bat-
tery pack use).
Please refer to the instruction manual of S.BUS
Hub with Cable (2-way/remote battery pack use)
for the connection method.
[ConnectionbyS.BUSsystem]
Unlike 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.
