FrSKY TD R6 Tandem Dual-Band Receivers Instruction Manual

FrSKY TD R6 Tandem Dual-Band Receivers

Introduction

• The Tandem dual-band receivers are unlike any other FrSky 2.4Ghz or 900Mhz receivers, they work simultaneously at both 2.4Ghz and 900Mhz frequencies. That means Tandem receivers provide not only the low latency signal and long-range control, but also benefit from the enhanced level of high reliability and anti-interference performance.
• The Tandem series receivers adopt a dual-band antenna design (one 2.4GHz & one 900MHz) that provides multi-directional wide coverage for the remote signal. The data (Power & Signal related) under unusual status during the flight can be recorded by Tandem receivers through a built-in black box module.
• The TD R6 receiver has 6 high-precision PWM channel outputs bundled in a compact lightweight design,and it also has ports like SBUS OUT and S.Port on board. By setting the S.Port to the FBUS protocol, the Tandem series receivers can open up the possibility of seamlessly pairing with multiple telemetry devices (Neuron ESC, Advance Sensors, etc.) as well as simplifying the build setup.

Registration & Automatic binding

Follow the step below to finish the Registration & binding procedure:

1. For TANDEM X20 as an example,enter into the Model, select RF System, turn on the internal module, select status [ON] and TD MODE(Type). You can select Internal / External antenna and the power as you need, then select [Register].
2. Connect the battery to the receiver while holding the button on the receiver. The RED LED and GREEN LED on the receiver will be on, indicating into the [Reg] status.
3.  When it shows the Register ID, RX name and UID,click [Register]. The RED LED and GREEN LED on the receiver will flash, and the transmitter displays [Registration OK ].
4. Turn off the receiver.
5. Move the cursor to select any one of the 3 receivers [Bind].
6. Connect the battery to the receiver.
7. Select the RX, the GREEN will keep lit and the BLUE will flash. Then the transmitter displays [Bind successful].
   Note: Once the receiver is registered, the button is not needed anymore in the binding process.

LED state

• How to switch the S.Port/F.Port/FBUS (F.Port2)
  Enter into the Set-Options, click the Telem.Port, and select S.Port/F.Port/FBUS (F.Port2).

• How to switch SBUS channel mode
  Enter into RX Settings, click [SBUS], then select SBUS-16 mode or SBUS-24 mode.

• How to enter into the Race mode (down to 4ms)
  Enter into Model-RF system, select the Channel Range as CH1-CH8. Click [Switch Positions] and select a switch to start the race mode.

About OTA function

For TANDEM X20 as an example, go to the [File manager], and select the FW, press the enter button, select [Flash RX by int.OTA].Power on the receiver, select the RX, go to the [ENTER], complete the flash process, the transmitter will display [Success]. Wait for 3 seconds,the receiver works properly at the moment.
Note: Please do not do the binding operation in the near range while the firmware upgrading in progress.
Note: Update the firmware after the receiver getting registered (OTA).

Failsafe

• Failsafe is a useful feature which is for a preset channel output position whenever control signal is lost for a period. Follow the steps to set Failsafe for channels necessary:
• Failsafe for receiver supporting TANDEM can be set via transmitter interface, which support no pulse, hold and custom three modes for each channel.
• For TANDEM X20 as an example, turn on the transmitter, go to: MODEL SETUP/Internal RF/Failsafe.
