e) Quick response.

f) Very smooth servo movement.

g) Alarm on events of receiver (low battery voltages, poor reception, etc.)

h) Error-free link, by using 48bits CRC algorithm.

i) Low power consumption.

j) True two-antenna diversity.

k) Firmware upgradable.

4. Function of Two Way communication

a) Two way communication between receiver and transmitter

b) Receiver is able to accept 2 analog inputs, which can be used to monitor battery

voltage, temperature sensor, etc., and transfer them to transmitter. Users can set the

Alarm Level of these analog voltages, when exceed or below these levers, sound alarm

is issued.

c) Receiver is able to accept serial data streams from simple 3-wire RS232 port, such

information as GPS, altitude, and user developed data can be transferred to Tx without

error, and sentat the RS232 port on the Tx.

Important!

The effective range of control refers to the distance between the transmitter and the

receiver clear of obstruction. All data was tested and verified by FrSky.

However this is not guaranteed due to many factors such as the flying environment

and the weather, which can greatly affect the effective range of control.

It is extremely important to range check your models prior to each flying

session!

6. How To Use

6.1 Setup

6.1.1 Installation of the transmitting module:

a) Remove the original transmitting module.

b) Put the FrSky 2.4GHz transmitter module into the module port of your RC

transmitter and screw on the transmitting antenna.

c) Check the MODE switch to its corresponding position.

d) Turn the transmitter power on and check the LED status on the module.

Manual of Two-Way Radio System www.FrSky-rc.com P4of9

6.1.2 Installation of receivers:

The D8R receiver incorporates two separate antennas which enable them to

receive the radio signal at two different locations. Please make sure that the two

antennas are placed apart and oriented 90 degrees to each other.

Please note:

As the wave length of 2.4GHz is shorter than older RC systems, its ability to go

around solid obstacles is weaker than 72 or 36 MHz. So the antennas must avoid

objects with high conductivity, such as metal parts, servos, ESC’s, battery packs, wires,

and carbon fiber structures. If possible put the tip of the antennas outside of the fuselage

for maximum reception.

6.1.3 Receiver and Transmitter Setup Instructions:

Follow the steps below to properly set up your system.

a) Turn your FUTABA or JR transmitter on and switch it to PPM mode, power off the

TX.

b) Check the working mode of the Tx module.

c) Turn the transmitter on while holding the programming button. Release it a few

seconds later. The RED LED on the transmitter module will flash indicating the

transmitter is ready to bind the receivers.

d) Connect the battery to the receiver while holding the receiver’s button. The LED on

the receiver will flash indicating the binding process is complete. Turn off the receiver.

e) Turn off the transmitter and receiver to finish the binding procedure.

f) Turn on the transmitter.

g) Connect the battery to the receiver, the Green LED on the receiver will indicate the

receiver is receiving commands from the transmitter.

After the steps above are completed, both the transmitter and receiver are ready to

be used.

6.2 Range check

Manual of Two-Way Radio System www.FrSky-rc.com P5of9

For safe operation, it is necessary to perform pre-flight range check.

Caution must be paid when you perform check in an environment with metal fences,

concrete buildings, or rows of trees. Loss of signal may be experienced.

Perform a range check as follows (Note: this would be done with the receiver

installed in the model):

a) Place the model at least two feet (60cm) above non-metal contaminated ground;

for example a wooden bench.

b) Place the receiver’s antenna apart. Do NOT let the antenna touch the ground.

c) Place the antenna of the transmitter in a vertical position.

d) Turn on the transmitter and receiver.

e) To enter Range Check Mode, press and hold the “F/S Range” button of the

transmitter for 4 seconds, the RED LED of the transmitter module will be turned off, the

effective distance will be decreased to 1/30.

f) Walk away from the model while simultaneously operating the controls on the

transmitter, confirm that all controls are completely and correctly operational at least 30

meters away.

g) Press the “F/S Range” button for 1S-4S, the transmitter will exit Range Check

Mode.

7. Safety range indicator

The Two-Way Radio System has a feature to show the RSSI (Received Signal

Strength Indication) of the receiver. When the RSSI is low, the Tx module will issue

three types of alarms.

Red: The receiver is very far from the Tx.

Orange: The receiver is sound, but would be far from Tx.

Yellow: The receiver is sound,

Green: The receiver is OK.

Note: Due to many environment factors, there may be casual alarm.

8. Failsafe

Manual of Two-Way Radio System www.FrSky-rc.com P6of9

The receiver integrates the failsafe function for all channels.

ROM A version: This is FrSky acquiescent failsafe version.

To set failsafe positions, press briefly(less than 1 second) the “F/S Range” button of

the Receiver, the Tx module will make a long “beep” indicating the failsafe position is

remembered by the receiver.

ROM B version: Provided for users to upgrade FrSky two way transmitter modules’

failsafe version. In this case, you can set failsafe position on the Tx module at any time

during your flight.

Option1: To set failsafe positions, press briefly(less than 1 second) the “F/S Range”

button of the Receiver, the Tx module will make a long “beep” indicating the failsafe

position is remembered by the receiver.

Option2: To set failsafe position, press briefly (less than 1 second) the “F/S Range”

button of the Tx module, the Tx module will make a long “beep” indicating the failsafe

position is remembered by the receiver.

Note: Please kindly note that if you accidently press the “F/S Range” button of the

Tx module during your flight, you will change the failsafe state inadvertently.

9. Alarm operation

9.1 Alarm states

Tx module monitors the state of receiver and notify user by audible alarm.

There are three alarm states:

Red (Highest): constant three Beeps

Orange (Medium): constant two Beeps

Yellow (General): one Beep

Green: No Beep

Alarm sourced from:

-Rx interface 1: Analog Port 1 on Rx;

Manual of Two-Way Radio System www.FrSky-rc.com P7of9

-Rx interface 2: Analog Port 2 on Rx;

-Rx interface 3: RSSI of Rx;

Note: The alarm threshold of Rx interface 1 and 2 could be set by user. Two

alarm thresholds and three levels alarm state are available for both of Rx interface

1 and 2.

And the RSSI alarm setting is default by factory.

9.2 Pins Definition:
