Specifications

Setup Guide

1. Power Requirements

The FS-R6B receiver requires a 5V DC power supply. This can typically be provided by 4x 1.5V AAA batteries (not included) or through the power output of your Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) if it has a Battery Eliminator Circuit (BEC).

2. Binding the Receiver

To establish communication between your FS-R6B receiver and a compatible FlySky transmitter, a binding process is required. This usually involves inserting a binding plug into the receiver's 'BIND' port and following the specific binding procedure outlined in your transmitter's manual. Ensure both the receiver and transmitter are powered on during the binding process.

3. Channel Connections

Connect your servos and ESC to the corresponding channels on the receiver. The receiver features 6 channels (CH1-CH6) and a dedicated BAT/BIND port. The outermost pin on each channel port is typically the negative (-) pin.

Typical Channel Order (for Aircraft):

• CH1: Ailerons
• CH2: Elevator
• CH3: ESC / Motor
• CH4: Rudder
• CH5: Gyro Sensitivity (for Helicopters) / Optional Function
• CH6: Optional Flaps or Dual Ailerons

Note: Always refer to your specific model's requirements and your transmitter's manual for the precise channel assignments.

Operating Instructions

Once the receiver is properly bound and connected to your model's components, ensure your transmitter is powered on before powering the receiver. This sequence helps prevent unintended movements. Always perform a range check before flying or operating your model to ensure reliable signal reception.

Failsafe Function

The FS-R6B receiver includes a failsafe function. In the event of signal loss, the failsafe will set the throttle to a predetermined low position (usually off) and other channels to a neutral or safe position to minimize damage. Consult your transmitter's manual for instructions on how to set up and test the failsafe feature.

Maintenance

• Antenna Care: The receiver's antenna is crucial for signal reception. Avoid repeatedly bending or folding the antenna cord, especially near where it exits the receiver casing, as this can damage the internal wiring. If the insulation breaks, consider reinforcing the cord with a small amount of hot glue to prevent further damage.
• Cleanliness: Keep the receiver free from dust, dirt, and moisture. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Storage: Store the receiver in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Safety Information

• Always operate your RC model in a safe and open area, away from people, animals, and obstacles.
• Ensure all components are securely fastened before operation.
• Never operate your model with low battery voltage in either the transmitter or receiver.
• Keep hands and loose clothing away from rotating propellers or moving parts.
• This product is recommended for users aged 14 years and up.
