Introduction

Thank you for purchasing FrSky G-RX6 6/16CH telemetry receiver. Especially designed for gliders, G-RX6 is ultra small and super light. FrSky builds a variometer sensor right into G-RX6, so telemetry data like altitude and vertical speed can be obtained. G-RX6 features 6 PWM output with higher precision and lower latency. The latency of the PWM output is 9ms less than that of X series receivers under high speed mode. G-RX6 also supports redundancy function, so it can be used in conjunction with another receiver.
The G-RX6 and the whole RX-line has a 40% increased operating range compared to the previous X series receivers. In order to fully enjoy the benefits of this system, please read the instruction manual carefully and set up the device as described below.

Overview

What’s New

CH1~CH6 outputs high precision PWM signal (Precision: less than 0.5ms)
Under the same conditions, the effective communication distance of G-RX6 is about 1.4 times than that of X series receivers.

LED state

Note : LED Blue is only for Variometer indication.

Binding procedure

Binding is the process of uniquely associating a receiver to a transmitter RF module. A transmitter RF module can be bound to multiple receivers (not to be used simultaneously). A receiver can only be bound to one RF module. Follow the steps below to finish the binding procedure.

Put the transmitter RF module into binding mode
For Taranis Series transmitters, turn on the transmitter, go to the MENU-MODEL SETUP-PAGE 2, choose Internal or External RF-Mode D16, then select Bind (OpenTX 2.2.2 and its improved versions are strongly recommended).
For Horus Series transmitters, turn on the transmitter, go to RF SYSTEM, choose Internal or External RF– Mode D16, and select BIND under STATE.
For transmitter modules (XJT as an example), choose D16 mode first, and turn on External RF on the transmitter while holding the F/S button on the module, release the button and the RED LED on the XJT module will flash.
Power on the receiver while holding its F/S button. The RED LED on the receiver will flash, indicating the binding process is completed.
Exit the binding mode and power off the receiver.
Power on the receiver, the Green LED on the transmitter indicates the receiver is receiving commands from the transmitter. The receiver/transmitter module binding will not have to be repeated unless one of the two is replaced.
Note : After the binding procedure is completed, resupply the power and check if the receiver is truly communicating with the transmitter.

How to Switch FS mode/HS mode

The factory default setting is FS mode.
Connect Cho and Cho signal pins with the included jumper before Binding, the receiver will enter HS mode. The receiver will enter into FS mode without the jumper connected.
Note : The SBUS output is 9ms, no matter HS/FS mode.

How to Disable/Enable Variometer function

The factory default setting is “enabled”.
In case you want to disable the variometer function and switch to normal operation mode, hold the F/S button for about 5 seconds, the BLUE LED will flash 3 times, indicating the switch was successful and the function will be disabled. (If you want to enable the function, just repeat the steps above).

How to select output 1 ~ 6CH / 9 ~ 14CH
For both Taranis and Horus series transmitters, choose 1-8CH / 9~16CH after selecting Bind. If the receiver outputs 9 ~ 14CH, and you want to switch back to 1 ~ 6CH, follow the same procedure above. Here are the table of detailed information.
When combining two receivers to become a 12CH receiver, you need to disable telemetry on either one of the two receivers.

Range Check
A pre-flight range check should be done before each flying session. Reflections from nearby metal fences, concrete buildings, or trees can cause loss of signal both during check and during the flight. Under Range Check Mode, the RF power would be decreased, and the Range distance to 1/30 — 1/10 that of the Normal Model, about 30 meters.

Place the model at least 60cm (two feet) above non-metal contaminated ground (e.g. on a wooden bench). The receiver’s antenna should be in a vertical position.
For Taranis Series transmitters, turn on the transmitter and power on the receiver, go to: MODEL SETUP/Internal RF/Range.
For Horus Series transmitters, turn on the transmitter and power on the receiver, go to MDL/RF SYSTEM/INTERNAL RF (ON) /STATE (Range).
For the transmitter RF module, please refer to its manual. Much more operations and instructions please refer to the radio manual.

Failsafe

Failsafe is a useful feature which is for a preset channel output position whenever the control signal is lost for a period.

Follow the steps to set Failsafe for the channels necessary:
Failsafe for receiver supporting the D16 RF mode setting can be set via the radio interface, which supports no pulse, hold, and custom three modes for each channel.

For Taranis Series transmitters, turn on the transmitter, go to: MODEL SETUP/Internal RF/Failsafe.
For Horus Series transmitters, turn on the transmitter, and go to: MDL/FAIL SAFE.
Failsafe can be set on the receiver via a short-pressing F/S button while moving a certain channel position to a preset value after binding.
Note : Failsafe setting via transmitter for channel output position just for D16 F mode, and Failsafe setting via transmitter has higher priority to setting via the receiver. A reasonable Failsafe setting can decrease falling risk and damage
