1M23N30102 R7018SB ◆ FASSTest-2.4GHz Bidirectional Communication System / FASST-Multi-ch 2.4GHz ◆ Dual Battery ◆ S.BUS2 / S.BUS Port and 18 Channels for Conventional System Receiver Thank you for purchasing a Futaba R7018SB FASSTest-2.4GHz compatible receiver. The R7018SB 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. The R7018SB has a Dual Battery System. Multiple servos can be driven by connecting 2 large capacity batteries. Even if the voltage of one battery drops, the other battery allows safe flight. The R7018SB can also be switched the FASST-Multi-ch System. ● Applicable systems: Futaba FASSTest-2.4GHz / FASST-Multi-ch system Keep the antenna as far away from the motor, ESC and other noise sources as you possibly can. Usage precaution • Analog servos cannot be used with the R7018SB 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. However, in other than the FASSTest 12CH mode, analog servos can be used at CH7 〜 16, DG1 and DG2 at any time. • Don't connect to Extra Voltage Telemetry Port before turning on a receiver. Be sure that the two antennas are placed at 90 degrees to each other. ■ The R7018SB 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. WARNING Changes or modification not especially approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’ s authority to operate the equipment. Be careful of connector insertion Don't connect an S.BUS servo / gyro to S.BUS2 connector. When the model is not being used, always remove or disconnect the battery. Do not connect the power supply battery to other than the power supply connector. ■ When the switch is off, a slight amount of current still flows. Unless the switch and battery are disconnected, the battery will be damaged from excessive discharge. ■ There is the danger of ignition, explosion, or burning. Link precaution The R7018SB receiver should be protected from vibration by foam rubber, Velcro, or similar mounting methods. Protect from moisture. 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. Keep away from conductive materials to avoid short circuits. When the linking is complete, please cycle the receiver power and ensure the receiver is properly linked to the transmitter. When only one battery is connected, always insulate the unused connector. Please power up your system in this order. Transmitter first, followed by the receiver. Antenna installation precaution Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire. If the R7018SB receiver was previously linked to another transmitter, make sure that transmitter is not operating while linking the receiver to the new transmitter. Do not bend the coaxial cable. It causes damage. The antennas must be mounted in such a way to assure they are strain relieved.

Dual Battery System Two power supply batteries can be connected to the R7018SB. Power is supplied from the battery with the highest voltage. The operating time is the total time of the 2 batteries. For example, even if the voltage of one battery drops, power can be supplied from the other battery. Even one battery can be used, but safer flight is possible if 2 batteries are used. Electric power will be automatically and alternatively supplied from the battery which voltage is higher.

Exclusive switch Receiver(Servo)Battery B D D G G (e.g., Li-po 2 cell 7.4V) Even if the voltage of one of the batteries drops, power is supplied from the other battery. Even if the power supply wiring of one of the batteries breaks, power is supplied from the other battery. Supplied from battery B Supplied from battery A When the switch is set to ON, power is supplied from the battery with the highest voltage. The operating time is the total time of the 2 batteries. Supplied from battery B This receiver employs an electronic switching (current is controlled by an FET circuit) system. When the exclusive switch is set to ON or is pulled, the power is turned on. Switches other than the exclusive switch cannot be used. In addition, since a very small current flows even when the power is off, always disconnect the battery from the connector when the receiver is not in use. One or 2 batteries can be connected. When 2 batteries are connected, the battery with the highest voltage is used. When only one battery is connected, always insulate the unused connector. The battery can be connected to either side. In addition, since this receiver does not have a built-in voltage regulator, use batteries with sufficient capacity for the specifications and number of servo motors to be used. FASSTest FASSTest FASSTest is a bidirectional communication system between the R7018SB 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. Link to the transmitter : FASSTest 1 Bring the transmitter and the receiver close Receiver voltage transmitter display The voltage displayed at the transmitter is only that of the battery currently in use (battery with the highest voltage). to each other, within 20 inches (half meter). Turn on the transmitter. Place the transmitter into the receiver linking mode. *The voltage of the 2 batteries cannot be displayed individually. Turn on the receiver. S.BUS2 extends S.BUS and supports bidirectional communication. Sensors are connected to the S.BUS2 port. 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. S.BUS2 *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. Extra Voltage Telemetry 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. - -3- + FASSTest 3. Turn on the receiver power. (Transmitter power off) 4. Press the Link/Mode switch for at least 10 seconds. 5.

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. Link to the transmitter : FASST 1 Bring the transmitter and the receiver Multi prop mode Change method 1.

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-1 output. Green LED blink 1 time 2 time The MPDX-1 extends 1 channel to 8 channels. However, since the response speed becomes slower and there are functional restrictions, use it at simple switch operation and other applications that require numerous channels.
