Radiomaster ER6G ExpressLRS Receiver
Thank you for purchasing the Radiomaster ER6G ExpressLRS receiver. The ER6G receiver is based on the revolutionary ExpressLRS system. It offers high performance, high reliability, flexible configuration, fast response speed, and ultra-long range. The ER6G Receiver has the same functionality as the ER6GV, but without a built-in Vario, making it suitable for competitions that prohibit the use of a Vario or for users who do not need a vario on their receiver.
Important Notes
- Recommended ELRS LUA Settings:
- Standard servos: Packet Rate: 100Hz Full, Telem Ratio: Std (1:32), Switch Mode: 8ch
- Performance servos: Packet Rate: 333Hz Full, Telem Ratio: Std (1:128), Switch Mode: 8ch
- The maximum input voltage for the EXT-V (external voltage input) telemetry reading is 35V. Do not exceed 35V, or the receiver will be damaged.
- The EXT-V input is accessed via the EXT-V solder pad on the PCB. A wire must be soldered to this pad and connected to the positive wire of the battery or ESC. If no EXT-V power source is found, the ER6G will default to reading the voltage on the receiver pins. Only one voltage input can be used at any given time.
- Ensure the ESC BEC's power supply current matches the servo's power consumption requirements. For high-voltage and high-torque servos, a 25V or 7.4V battery for direct power supply or a suitable high-current UBEC is recommended.
- Telemetry voltage calibration is required on your radio. Navigate to the telemetry page, locate the RxBt sensor, edit its settings, and adjust the offset until the displayed reading matches the actual battery voltage. Adjust the ratio if there is a significant difference.
- Channel 6 on the receiver must not be used as a power input channel; it can be used as a servo output channel. Power from an ESC or receiver battery must only be applied to Channels 1 to 5.
- ExpressLRS requires CH5 to set the Arm state of the RF module in your radio. It is recommended to assign CH5 to a switch (e.g., throttle cut switch) for benefits like dynamic power. Different channels can be assigned to the receiver's CH5 output using the ExpressLRS LUA or Wifi WebUI.

Wiring Diagram
The ER6G receiver features standard PWM output channels. The EXT-V input allows for external voltage monitoring. A 3-pin connector for optional components may require soldering.
Standard Connection:
- CH1: CH1
- CH2: CH2
- CH3: CH3
- CH4: CH4
- CH5: CH7 (ExpressLRS Arming)
- CH6: CH6
External Voltage Input (EXT-V): Connect to battery or ESC positive wire (DC 3.5 - 8.4V).
Binding Methods
Traditional Binding
- Power on the receiver. The LED will double blink, indicating bind mode. If not, hold the boot button for 10 seconds to reset.
- Open the ExpressLRS LUA on your remote controller, select [BIND], and confirm.
- A steady LED indicates successful binding.
Note: To bind a second time or to another radio, power cycle the receiver 3 times. On the third cycle, the LED will double blink. If this fails, reset the receiver by holding the boot button for 10 seconds.
WARNING: Using the reset button erases all previous settings.
Binding Phrase Method
- Open the ExpressLRS LUA, navigate to the Wifi Connectivity page, and enable Wifi. Connect to your radio's Wi-Fi (see TX Wifi notes below). Open the WebUI (http://10.0.0.1/) and enter a unique bind phrase. Save and reboot.
- Power up the receiver and wait 60 seconds for the LED to blink rapidly (Wi-Fi mode). Connect your phone, tablet, or PC to the receiver's Wi-Fi (see RX Wifi notes below). Open the WebUI (http://10.0.0.1/) and enter the same bind phrase used for the transmitter. Save and reboot. The transmitter and receiver will automatically bind when they share the same bind phrase.
