Thank you for purchasing a Futaba R7014SB FASSTest-2.4GHz compatible receiver. The R7014SB receiver features bi-directional communication with a FASSTest Futaba transmitter using the S.BUS2 port. Using the S.BUS2 port an impressive array of telemetry sensors may be utilized. It also includes both standard PWM output ports and S.BUS output ports. The R7014SB can also be switched to the FASST-Multi-ch System.

● Applicable systems: Futaba FASSTest-2.4GHz / FASST-Multi-ch system transmitter

Usage precaution

• Analog servos cannot be used with the R7014SB in the FASSTest 12CH mode.
• When the FASST Multi-ch High-speed Mode is used, analog servos cannot be used at the CH1 ～ 6 outputs for convention systems. However, in other than the FASSTest 12CH mode, analog servos can be used at CH7-12, DG1, and DG2 at any time.

WARNING

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the userʼ s authority to operate the equipment.
The R7014SB receiver should be protected from vibration by foam rubber, Velcro, or similar mounting methods. Protect from moisture.

Antenna installation precaution
Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire.
Do not bend the coaxial cable. It causes damage.
The antennas must be mounted in such a way to assure they are strain relieved.
Keep the antenna as far away from the motor, ESC, and other noise sources as you possibly can.
Be sure that the two antennas are placed at 90 degrees to each other.
■ The R7014SB has two antennas. In order to maximize signal reception and promote safe modeling, Futaba has adopted a diverse antenna system. This allows the receiver to obtain RF signals on both antennas and fly problem- free.

Antenna installation for carbon fuselage
You must leave 30mm at the tip of the antenna fully exposed. The exposed antenna should be secured so that it cannot move around or back inside of your aircraft.

Be careful of connector insertion
Don’t connect an S.BUS servo/gyro to an S.BUS2 connector.
Do not connect the power supply battery to anything other than the power supply connector.
■ There is the danger of ignition, explosion, or burning.

Link precaution
Do not perform the linking procedure while the motor’s main power is connected or the engine is operating as it may result in serious injury.
When the linking is complete, please cycle the receiver power and ensure the receiver is properly linked to the transmitter.
Please power up your system in this order. Transmitter first, followed by the receiver.
If the R7014SB receiver was previously linked to another transmitter, make sure that the transmitter is not operating while linking the receiver to the new transmitter.

Connector
The direction of the connectors of the bottom 3 ports is different by 90º

FASSTest
FASSTest is a bidirectional communication system between the R7014SB receiver and FASSTest capable transmitters. Multiple optional telemetry sensors may be connected to the S.BUS2 on the receiver and that data is in turn displayed on the transmitter.
*Please see your transmitter’s operation manual to configure the transmitter to operate with telemetry sensors.

Link to the transmitter: FASSTest

1. Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each other, within 20 inches (half meter).
2. Turn on the transmitter. Place the transmitter into the receiver linking mode.
3. Turn on the receiver.
4. The receiver will wait for the linking process to begin for 2 seconds. Following that it will return to the normal operation mode.
5. When the link LED of the receiver changes from blinking red to solid green, linking is complete. (A link waiting state is ended in 1 second.)

• Refer to the transmitter’s operation manual for complete details on how to place the transmitter into the linking mode.
• If there are many FASSTest 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 FASSTest 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 double-check whether your receiver is really under control by your transmitter.
• If the System Type of the transmitter is changed, the receiver will need to be re-linked to the transmitter.

S.BUS2
S.BUS2 extends S.BUS and supports bidirectional communication. Sensors are connected to the S.BUS2 port.
*Only S.BUS2 capable devices may be connected to the S.BUS2 port. Standard S.BUS servos and gyros should not be connected to the S.BUS2 port.

Extra Voltage Telemetry port
It connects with the battery for power, etc. An optional external voltage input cable (CA-RVIN-700) is used. The voltage of the battery can be displayed with a transmitter.
When a telemetry adapter (TMA-1) is used: FASSTest only
When using a TMA-1 (sold separately), change the settings by the following method.
The TMA-1 is a device for viewing the telemetry data on a smartphone or tablet.

R7014SB and TMA-1 linking method

1. Switch the receiver to FASSTest system.
2. Link the transmitter and receiver, and after confirming operation, turn off the power.
3. Turn on the receiver power. (Transmitter power off)
4. Press the Link/Mode switch for at least 10 seconds.
5. When the link LED begins to blink green the button may be released.
6.  The receiver enters the link with TMA-1 mode, and the LED simultaneously begins to rapidly blink red and green.
7. Press the TMA-1 link switch until the LED starts to blink and wait for the TMA-1 to link.
8. When TMA-1 linking is complete, the TMA-1 LED changes from red to green for a moment.
9. When linking is complete, turn on the receiver power and check the operation of all the devices.

FAST
When switched, the R7014SB can use the FASST-Multi-ch mode. When the FASST system is used, the telemetry and Extra Voltage ports cannot be used. The FASST system has a Normal mode and a High-speed mode. However, in the High-speed mode, analog servos cannot be used at CH1-6.

Link to the transmitter: FASST

1. Bring the transmitter and the receiver close to each other, within 20 inches (half a meter).
2. Turn on the transmitter and receiver.
3. Link operation is performed by the Link/Mode switch.

• When using the TM-8 module, it’s possible to set the F/S position (only 3CH).

*Refer to the instruction manual of the transmitter or module used for a description of the linking operation, F/S position setting methods and other details.
When using Multi prop (MPDX-1)

The MPDX-1 can be used with FASSTest by merely setting the corresponding transmitter. (Refer to the instruction manual of the corresponding transmitter.) When using the MPDX-1FASST system, change the setting by the following method. Enable the MPDX-1 at channels 11 and 12. (Initial value: OFF) Channels 11 and 12 cannot be used individually for MPDX- 1 output. The MPDX-1
speed becomes slower and there are functional restrictions, use it at a simple switch operation and other applications that require numerous channels.
