Product Usage Instructions

Registration & Automatic Binding

  1. Enter into the Model, select RF System, turn on the internal module, select status [ON] and TW MODE(Type), 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. Power off the receiver.
  5. Move the cursor to select any one of the 3 receivers and press [Bind].
  6. Connect the battery to the receiver.
  7. Select the RX, the GREEN and BLUE LED will keep lit, then the transmitter displays [Bind successful].

Note: Once the receiver is registered, the button is not needed anymore in the binding process.

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

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

About OTA function
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.

FAQ

Q: How do I know if my registration was successful?
A: When the RED LED and GREEN LED on the receiver flash, and the transmitter displays [Registration OK], your registration is successful.

Q: Can I use the TW Mini receiver for long-range radio communications?
A: Yes, the TW Mini receiver is designed for users who want long-range capabilities in their radio communications, typically achieving tens of kilometers.

Introduction

TWIN series TW Mini receiver features a new stable TW protocol that benefits from simultaneously integrating dual active 2.4G frequency bands. The TW active-active protocol is different from the general active-standby redundancy solutions (where one receiver takes over signal control only when the other is in Failsafe mode), with the TW protocol, dual 2.4G frequency bands are active on the TW series receiver at the same time.

This receiver is designed for RC users who want to benefit from resilience and long-range in their radio communi-cations, typically tens of kilometers are achievable. The TW Mini receiver is lightweight and tiny, making it suitable for building into racing drones or airplanes with limited installation space and weight constraints.

The TW Mini receiver is equipped with 2x 2.4G antennas. The TW Mini includes one SBUS output channel, it supports telemetry functions through FBUS / S.Port. By setting the TW Mini to use FBUS protocol in the ETHOS system, the signal control and telemetry can be connected to any device that supports FBUS protocol through only one line to achieve bidirectional transmission, also simplifying the model build using fewer wires.
