The R6308SBT receiver features bi-directional communication with a telemetry receiver unit (option) 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. This receiver distinguishes automatically FASST-2.4-GHz system 7ch or Multi-ch/10ch / 8ch mode at the time of link operation with a transmitter. And high speed mode can be chosen.LED IndicationGreen Red StatusOff Solid No signal receptionSolid Off Receiving signalsblink Off ID of a signal is disagreementAlternate blink Unrecoverable error (EEPROM, etc.)(Antenna installation)90˚Please refer the table below for LED status vs receiver's condition.1M23N17459S.BUS2portS.BUS port(8/SB）(S.BUS2）R6308SBTS.BUS ServoS.BUS GyroHUBHUBHUBHUBExtra VoltagePortLink/Mode switchAntennaLEDServo for conventionalsystemChannel1 outputChannel8 outputTemperatureSensorRPMSensorVoltageSensorVoltageSensorAltitudeSensorAltitudeSensorS.BUS2 ToolBattery to 7/B＋−It connects with the battery for power, etc.External voltage input cable of an option is used.

Protect from moisture.󾛻 Keep away from conductive materials to avoid short cir-cuits.󾛻 Don't connect to Extra Voltage before turning on a receiv-er.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R6308SBT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 ex-posed. The exposed antenna should be secured so that it cannot move around or back inside of your aircraft. (Typical installation)
When S.BUS is used * Set the channel of S.BUS servos by using an SBC-1 channel changer, CIU-2 USB serial interface 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 battery pack use). Please refer to the instruction manual of S.BUS Hub with Cable (2-way/re-mote battery pack use) for the connection method.*Turn on the power in transmitter→receiver order. In addition, always check the operation of all the servos before ight.*Do not insert or remove the servo connector while the receiver power is ON.󾛽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.

This is a rare occurrence. However, should another FASST 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. Channel ModesThe R6308SBT is capable of changing its channel allocations as described in the table below. 1 Press and hold down the Link/Mode button on the R6308SBT receiver.2 Turn the receiver on while holding down the Link/Mode button. After power up, the button can be released.3 The 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.S.BUS2S.BUS2 extends S.BUS and supports bidirectional communication. Sensors are connected to the S.BUS2 port. Sensor information is transmitted to telemetry receiver unit by which the option is carried out.*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.High speed mode / Telemetry ON, OFFR6308SBT can perform the change of high speed mode and a normal mode. A response becomes high-speed, however the high speed mode cannot use a sensor.
