Product Usage Instructions

Binding

1. Put the transmitter into bind mode (Refer to the transmitter’s user manual for instructions on how to activate bind mode).
2. Power on the receiver and wait for 2 seconds. If the receiver is not connected, it will automatically enter the binding state.
3. After successful binding, the LED indicator of the receiver will be solid.

Note: Set the transmitter to its binding state first, and then set the receiver to its binding state. If the binding is not finished within 10 seconds, the LED of the receiver will enter its slow flashing state.

Car Light Control

When the receiver and the transmitter are connected normally, press the BIND button on the transmitter to turn on or turn off the car light. By default, the car light is off.

ESC Running Mode

The running mode of the ESC can be set at the transmitter side which is bound with the receiver. By default, the running mode is direct Forward/Reverse mode. When the running mode is set to In Forward/Reverse/Brake mode, the maximum brake force can be set to 55%, 70%, or 100% through the transmitter.

Note: For detailed instructions on setting the running mode, refer to the transmitter manual.

Failsafe

The failsafe function is used to protect the model and personnel when the receiver is out of control. Details on how to configure the failsafe function are not provided in the user manual. Refer to additional resources or contact customer support for assistance.

Introduction

The FMS-R3A1, in compliance with the 2A-BS protocol, is a 2-in-1 3-Channel receiver with brushless ESC and LED light set. The receiver, equipped with a single external antenna, can output PWM signals and vehicle light control signals, and support 2-way transmission. It adopts auto-bind upon power-on and lightweight and compact design, and adaptation to a variety of model cars.

Binding

This receiver is designed to automatically enter the binding mode at power-on.

• The receiver enters the waiting-for-connection state upon power-on, waiting for the connection to the bound transmitter.
• If the receiver does not connect the bound transmitter within 2S, it automatically enters the binding state. This state lasts for 10S.
• If the binding with the transmitter is successful, it enters the normal connection state, otherwise, it exits the binding state and returns to the waiting-for-connection state.

Note: In the case of binding, the receiver LED flashes quickly. In case of waiting-for-connection, the receiver LED flashes slowly. In the case of a normal connection, the receiver LED is solid.

The binding steps are as below.

1. First, put the transmitter into bind mode (See the transmitter’s user manual for instructions on how to activate bind mode.).
2. When the receiver is powered on and waits for 2 seconds, it will automatically enter the binding state if it is not connected.
3. After the binding is successful, the LED indicator of the receiver is solid.

Note: Set the transmitter to its binding state first, and then set the receiver to its binding state. If the binding is not finished within 10S, the LED of the receiver will enter its slow flashing state.

Protection

The receiver supports the low voltage protection function.

• Low Voltage Protection: The receiver will enter the low voltage protection state in case of detecting low voltage, all channels won’t output, and the car light will flash slowly for a prompt.
• The receiver supports the overheating protection and the blocking protection function.
• Overheating Protection: The receiver will enter the overheating protection state in case of the high internal temperature of the ESC, the CH2 motor channel won’t output, but the other channels will output normally. The CH2 motor channel will output normally when the temperature is normal.
• Blocking Protection: When the external motor is blocked, it enters the blocking protection state, to protect the ESC and the motor.

Car Light Control

When the receiver and the transmitter have connected normally, press the BIND button of the transmitter to turn on or turn off the car light. By default, the car light is off.

ESC Running Mode
The running mode can be set to Forward/Reverse/Brake mode or direct Forward/Reverse mode, and by default, the running mode is direct Forward/Reverse mode.
When the running mode is set to Forward/Reverse/Brake mode, the maximum brake force can be set to 55%, 70% or 100% through the transmitter.
Note: The running mode of the ESC can be set at the transmitter side which is bound to the receiver. For the details, refer to the transmitter manual.

Failsafe

• The failsafe function is used to protect the model and personnel when the receiver is out of control.
• The CH2 channel will enter the brake state when the receiver is out of control.
• By default, the CH1 and CH3 channels are not set, and these two channels will maintain the last output in case of out-of-control. You can set the failsafe value for CH1 and CH3 channels at the transmitter side.

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 can result out of control.
• The unreasonable setting of the Failsafe may cause accidents.
• 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.
