Futaba R314SB 4-Channel 2.4GHz T-FHSS Receiver Instruction Manual

Futaba R314SB 4-Channel 2.4GHz T-FHSS Receiver

Thank you for purchasing the R314SB receiver. The R314SB is designed for use with the Futaba T-FHSS system transmitter. The R314SB receiver has adopted the newly developed bidirectional communication system “T-FHSS”.

Telemetry system
With the telemetry system, the running status can be displayed at the transmitter. The telemetry data can be checked at the transmitter by connecting the telemetry sensor sold separately to the S.BUS2 connector of the R314SB receiver.

Normal mode/High-Speed mode
The “Normal mode” accepts any type of servos or peripherals. The “High-Speed Mode” only accepts the digital servos, including the BLS series, and most peripheral equipment such as the brushless ESCs. Please pay special attention to the information contained within this manual and the transmitter’s manual in order to have a pleasant running experience.

WARNING
NEVNEVERER uses dry batteries for the power supply of the R314SB as this may cause difficulties with the receiver’s operation. Wrap the receiver with something soft, such as foam rubber, to avoid vibration. Do not splash water over the receiver. Since the receiver generates a certain amount of heat, install the place with good ventilation.

Note:
The R314SB is compatible with the T-FHSS system transmitters. The receiver type setting of the transmitter is set in T-FHSS. *Futaba T-FHSS system does not work with current Futaba S-FHSS/FHSS/FASST-est/FASST system.

Operating Precautions:
Once the R314SB detects the T-FHSS normal mode or T-FHSS high-speed mode, the detected mode is locked as long as the power is ON. When need to change the mode, please cycle power.

Usage condition on “High-Speed mode”

CAUTION
When using the high-speed mode, use a Futaba digital servo (including a brushless servo). Analog servos cannot be used. The use of analog servos may cause servo trouble.

Link Procedure

Each transmitter has an individually assigned, unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must be linked with the ID code of the transmitter with which it is being paired. Once the link is made, the ID code is stored in the receiver and no further linking is necessary unless the receiver is to be used with another transmitter.

1. Place the transmitter and the receiver close to each other within half (0.5) meters.
2. Place the transmitter into the linking mode, and turn on the receiver.
3. During the countdown, push the receiver tact switch for approximately 2 seconds. The LED will begin to blink red. After the receiver LED switches from blinking red to green → red steady light, If the transmitter and receiver are linked normally, set the power switch to the OFF position and then return it to the PWR ON position. If the receiver LED lights green, linking was successful. Actually, check servo operation.

Please refer to the table below for LED status and receiver condition.

and Green turn on alter- nately

• Refer to the transmitters operation manual for complete details on how to place the transmitter into the linking mode.
• If there are many T-FHSS systems turned on in close proximity, your receiver might have difficulty establishing a link to your transmitter. This is a rare occurrence. However, should another T-FHSS transmitter/receiver be linking at the same time, your receiver could link to the wrong transmitter. This is very dangerous if you do not notice this situation. In order to avoid the problem,we strongly recommend you to double-check whether your receiver is really under control by your transmitter.

WARNING
After the linking is done, please cycle receiver power and check if the receiver to be linked is really under the control by the transmitter to be linked. Do not perform the linking procedure with motor’s main wire connected or with the engine operating as it may result in serious injury.
