1. Input voltage of RB20 ground and air unit is DC7.4 - 12V(lipo 2s - 3s)，please
strictly follow this parameter to power the module.
2. Be sure to install the antenna before powering up to avoid damage to the circuit.
3. Make sure that the antenna is free from obstructions in using process, and try to
keep away from large metal objects to avoid communication obstruction.
4. Do not disassemble or reassemble RB20 module, If you encounter problems that
cannot be solved during installation or use, please contact FOXTECH or your agent.
5. Keep the proper distance between the electronic devices during installation to
minimize electromagnetic interference between devices.
6. Make sure all connections are securely fastened and all parts are working properly
before use.
7. Please check the surrounding environment before use to ensure that there is no
interference from other 840MHZ-930MHZ equipment, otherwise the RB20 data
transmission may be seriously affected.

RB20 Signal Relay is designed to work with radio controller to achieve the long range
requirements. The RB20 ground unit could be connected to PC through a TTL-USB cable,
to realize data transmission between PC and RB20 air unit, also could realize parameter
tuning. The max communicate range is 30km.

RB20 has 2 signal outputs: S-BUS and Serial port.if your remote controller or
receiver not support S-BUS, so you need to buy a PWMto S-BUS module.

Please check the connection status by following steps after the connection is
completed.(This step will have some differences because of different flight controls.)
1. Open the PC device manager and you can see that the ground unit is correctly
recognized, the driver is installed correctly, and there is no yellow exclamation
mark.
2. Open the FC ground station software,select the corresponding COM port, and connect to
the flight controller.The flight control is connected normally,indicating that the RB20 digital
transmission link is connected. If the connection fails, please check the following points.
1.The baud rate of the flight controller is same as the baud rate of RB20.
2.Ensure that the RB20 ground unit driver is installed successfully.
3.Use the RB20 parameter setting software to ensure that all parameter
settings for RB20 air and ground unit are consistent.
4.Ensure that RX of FC to TX RB20,TX of FC to RX RB20.
3. Open the rc setting interface of the ground station to check whether the remote
control data is normal. If the remote control data changes normally along with the
joystick. The remote control link is connected. If the remote control connection fails,
please check if the “-, +, signal” of the S-BUS is reversed.

①S-BUS data indicator L1
L1 flashs means that the remote control has data transmission, and no flashing means that the remote control has
no data transmission.
②Configuration mode indicator L2
L2 steady light-in the configuration mode
③SET Button
Used to enter the configuration mode or set the runaway protection output value or upgrade firmware.
④Data transmission indicator
RXD light is on-receiver has data reception; TXD light is on-receiver has data transmission.
⑤Signal Strength
S1 S2 S3 - signal stregth indicator, all these three indicators are on- strongest signal quality; only S2S3 on-
middle-level signal quality; only S3 on-general signal quality.

Power on the ground unit and air unit, if the light is illuminated as shown below, it
means the two modules are connected normally.

Ground Unit
Parameter Configuration
The parameters have been set at the factory and you should be able to use RB20 directly. In the following
situations, you may need to modify the RB20 parameters:
1.The flight control baud rate is inconsistent with the RB20 preset baud rate.
2.Multiple Rb20 occupy the same communication channel, causing communication blocking.
3.Have special communication bandwidth and communication power requirements.
Please follow the steps below to modify the parameters:
The parameter modification method of ground unit and air unit is basically the same, only the
connection cable is different.
1Press and hold the set button, then power up until the L2 light is on, release the button.
