RADiOMASTER ER6 ELRS Receiver User Manual

RADiOMASTER ER6 ELRS Receiver

Thank you!

Thank you for purchasing the Radiomaster ER6 ELRS receiver. The ER6 receiver is based on the revolutionary ExpressLRS system. It offers high performance, high reliability, flexible configuration, fast response speed and ultra-long range bringing you brand new experience with your hobby.

Instructions for use

Important:

1. The recommended ELRS LUA settings on the remote-control end are:
   Standard servos:

   Packet Rate：| 100Hz Full
   Telem Ratio：| Std (1:32)（default if unsure）
   Switch Mode：| 8ch
   Performance servos:
   Packet Rate：| 333Hz Full
   Telem Ratio：| Std (1:128)
   Switch Mode：| 8ch

2. The maximum input voltage for the EXT-V (external voltage input) telemetry reading is 35V. Do not exceed 35V or the receiver will be damaged.

3. The EXT-V (external voltage input) of the ER6 is accessed via the EXT-V 2pin JST-GH connector. The RED wire must be soldered to the positive of the battery or ESC. If no EXT-V power source is found, the ER6 will default to reading the voltage on the receiver pins, only one voltage input can be used at the any given time.

4. Please ensure that the power supply current of the ESC BEC matches the power consumption requirements of the servo used. If using high-voltage and high-torque servos, it is recommended to use a 2S 7.4V battery for direct power supply or a suitable high-current UBEC.

5. Calibration of the telemetry voltage will be required on your radio. Navigate to the telemetry page on your radio and locate the RxBt sensor. Edit the sensor settings and adjust the offset until the displayed reading matches the actual voltage of the battery in the model. If there is a large difference, adjustment of the ratio may also be required.
   

6. ExpressLRS Arming requirements and the use of Channel 5: CH5 is required by ExpressLRS to set the Arm state of the RF module in your radio. It is recommended to assign CH5 to a switch such as your throttle cut switch as this will provide benefits such as dynamic power. Using the ExpressLRS LUA or the Wifi WebUI, you can assign different channels to the CH5 output of your receiver. See example to the right:
   Please visit https://www.expresslrs.org/ to learn more on the importance of setting up arming.

Radiomaster ER6 ELRS receiver has been specially designed for fixed-wing users. It can drive up to 6 servos and has built-in receiver voltage telemetry and flight battery telemetry with the ability to automatically detect which voltage input to use. A 4-wire CRSF interface is provided to facilitate later expansion of telemetry sensors. The ER6 features a dual-antenna with telemetry power up to 100mw. The receiver shell adopts one-piece molding process with high structural strength.

Binding method (Traditional)

1. The first time you power on your receiver, the LED will double blink. This indicates that the receiver is in bind mode. If this is not the case, hold down the boot button for 10 seconds to reset the receiver.
2. Open the ExpressLRS LUA on your remote controller and select [BIND], then confirm.
3. A successful bind is indicated by the light being a steady on, indicating that frequency binding was successful.
   

Note: To bind the receiver a second time or to another radio, power cycle the receiver 3 times. On the third power cycle, the LED will double blink indicating bind mode. If you cannot successfully enter bind mode with the 3 power cycle method, you can hold down the boot button for 10 seconds to reset the receiver to bind mode or use the passphrase method below.
WARNING: All previous settings in the receiver will be erased and need to be set again when using the reset button.

Binding method (Passphrase)

1. Open the ExpressLRS LUA and navigate to the Wi-Fi Connectivity page. Select the Enable Wi-Fi option and connect to your radios Wi-Fi with a mobile phone, tablet or PC (See TX Wi-Fi notes below). Open the WebUI (Express LRS web page on http://10.0.0.1/) and choose a unique bind phrase. Note Bind phrases are not secret and can be read. Save and Reboot.
2. Power up the receiver and wait 60 seconds for the LED to blink rapidly to indicate Wi-Fi mode. Connect your phone, tablet or PC to the receivers Wi-Fi (See TX Wi-Fi notes below). Open the WebUI (Express LRS web page on http://10.0.0.1/) and enter the matching bind phrase previously entered on your radio. Note Bind phrases are not secret and can be read. Save and Reboot. Once a radio and a receiver have the same bind phrase set they will automatically bind.
