Usage precaution
• Analog servos cannot be used with the R7014SB in the FASSTest
12CH mode.
• When the FASST Multi-ch High-speed Mode is used, analog servos
cannot be used at the CH1 〜6 outputs for convention systems. How-
ever, in other than the FASSTest 12CH mode, analog servos can be
used at CH7 〜12, DG1 and DG2 at any time.
• Don't connect to Extra Voltage Telemetry Port before turning on a re-
ceiver.
WARNING
Changes or modification not especially approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’ s authority to operate the
equipment.
The R7014SB receiver should be protected from vibration by foam
rubber, Velcro, or similar mounting methods. Protect from moisture.
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 R7014SB 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
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.
Be careful of connector insertion
Don't connect an S.BUS servo / gyro to S.BUS2 connector.
Do not connect the power supply battery to other than the power
supply connector.
■There is the danger of ignition, explosion, or burning.
Link precaution
Do not perform the linking procedure while the motor's main power
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 rst, followed
by the receiver.
If the R7014SB receiver was previously linked to another transmitter,
make sure that transmitter is not operating while linking the receiver to
the new transmitter.

FASSTest
FASSTest is a bidirectional communication system between the R7014SB 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.
Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each other, within 20 inches (half
meter).
Turn on the transmitter. Place the transmitter into the receiver linking mode.
Turn on the receiver.
The receiver will wait for the linking process to begin for 2 seconds. Following
that it will return to the normal operation mode.
When the link 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.
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.
It connects with the battery for power, etc.
External voltage input cable (CA-RVIN-700) of an option is used. The
voltage of the battery can be displayed with a transmitter.
When using a TMA-1 (sold separately), change the settings by the following
method.
The TMA-1 is a device for viewing the telemetry data on a smartphone or
tablet.
. Switch the receiver to FASSTest system.
. Link the transmitter and receiver, and after confirming operation, turn off the
power.
. Turn on the receiver power. (Transmitter power off)
. Press the Link/Mode switch for at least 10 seconds.
. When the mode LED begins to blink green the button may be released.
. The receiver enters the linked with TMA-1 mode, and the LED begins red/
green simultaneous rapid blinking.
. Press the TMA-1 link switch until the LED starts to blink and wait for the
TMA-1 to link.
. When TMA-1 linking is complete, the TMA-1 LED changes from red to green
for a moment.
. When linking is complete, turn on the receiver power and check the
operation of all the devices.
Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each other, within 20 inches (half
meter).
Turn on the transmitter and receiver.
Link operation is performed by the Link/Mode switch.

The MPDX-1 can be used with FASSTest by merely setting the corresponding
transmitter. (Refer to the instruction manual of the corresponding transmitter.) When
using the MPDX-1 Multi Prop Decoder (sold separately) with the FASST system,
change the setting by the following method. Enable the MPDX-1 at channels 11 and
12. (Initial value: OFF) Channels 11 and 12 cannot be used individually for MPDX-
. Switch the receiver to the FASST system (Normal or High-speed).
. Turn on the receiver power. (Transmitter power off)
. Press the Link/Mode switch for at least 10 seconds.
. When the mode LED begins to blink green the button may be released.
. The receiver enters the multi prop mode and the LED of the current mode
blinks. (Initial value: OFF)
. Each time the switch is pressed, the mode changes.
. When the receiver was switched to the desired mode, press the Link/Mode
switch for at least 2 seconds.
. When the mode LED switches to red/green simultaneous rapid blinking,
mode switching is complete. Release the switch.
. When switching is complete, turn on the power. When the power is turned
on, the receiver switches to the new mode.
When switched, the R7014SB can use the FASST-Multi-ch mode. When the FASST system is used, the telemetry and Extra Voltage ports cannot be used. The
FASST system has a Normal mode and a High-speed mode. However, in the High-speed mode, analog servos cannot be used at CH1 〜6.
