Introduction

FBr12 is a marine receiver, and the waterproof level is as high as PPX7, using the AFHDS3 (the third generation automatic frequency hopping digital system). It adopts the external dual antenna with the transfer back function and can output PWM/PPM/I-BUS/S.BUS/I-BUS 2 signals. It supports Newport switching, all AFHDS3 transmitters and RF heads.

Binding

Insert the bind cable into the receivers BIND port;
Plug the power cable into any other port, and the receiver’s LED will start to flash quickly indicating that it has entered bind mode.
Put the transmitter into bind mode; (See the transmitter’s instruction manual for more information)
Binding is successful when the receiver’s LED will stop flashing. Remove the power and bind cables from the receiver.
Reconnect the power cable to the receiver.
Check to make sure that the transmitter and receiver are working as expected, if there are any issues or unexpected operation follow the steps above to bind again.

Forced update

After the transmitter is updated, if the code cannot be matched with the receiver, it is necessary to update the receiver.

Short circuit bind and its separated signal pins with bind cable;
Power on the receiver to enter the update mode（LED light of the receiver changes from 3 flash and 1 off）, unplug the bind cable, and select forced update at the transmitter.
The LED light of the receiver changes from 3 flash and 1 off to slow flash, the update is completed.

Failsafe

The failsafe function is used to output the channel according to the outof- control protection value set by the user after the receiver loses its signal and is out of control to protect the model and personnel.

This receiver supports three failsafe modes: “Free”, “Hold”, and “Fixed value”; “Free” mode refers to PWM, PPM, i-Bus out, i-Bus 2 converter entering the failsafe state keep the channel value of no output signal. The S.BUS, i-Bus2, and i-bus converters output the last received signal channel value of the transmitter. “Hold” mode means that after entering the failsafe state, keep the output of the last transmitter signal;the “Fixed value” mode means that after entering the out-of-control protection state, the set signal channel value is maintained to output the signal.

Compatibility

The FBr12 receiver is compatible with all AFHDS 3 transmitters (Note: It is currently applicable to PL18 1.0.55、NB4 2.0.93 and NB4 lite 1.0.10 and later versions. The high-frequency library used by the firmware is version 3.0.)
Attention:

Make sure the product is installed and calibrated correctly, failure to do so may result in serious injury.
Make sure the receiver’s battery is disconnected before turning off the transmitter, failure to do so may lead to unintended operation or loss of control.
Make sure the receiver is mounted away from motors, electronic speed controllers or any device that emits excessive electrical noise.
Keep the receiver’s antenna at least 1cm away from conductive materials such as carbon or metal.
Do not power on the receiver during the setup process to prevent loss of control.
