User manual FUTUBA S5801

[. . . ] That's not as much of a concern with 2. 4GHz FASST receivers -- you should instead make sure that you're mounting the unit in the coolest part of the radio compartment. Stay away from the muffler exhaust, battery packs, regulators or any other heat source. We also recommend that you use the receiver's long, narrow side as its base (rather than mounting it with the bottom flat against the radio compartment floor). Secure the receiver using a Velcro® strap or gel tape. We hope that these tips help you with your 2. 4GHz FASST receiver installation and maintenance. [. . . ] Perform another range check with your assistant holding the aircraft with the engine running at various speeds. We would strongly suggest you do not fly until the source of the difficulty has been determined. Also, be certain that the battery has been fully charged. Important: The 2. 4GHz band offers different characteristics than that of the conventional 50MHz and 72MHz. As such, we strongly encourage you to read this manual carefully prior to utilizing the TM-7 and R607FS FASST system. FASST Air System S5801 Module and R607FS Receiver Thank you for purchasing the TM-7 2. 4GHz FASST transmitter module and R607FS receiver. This system is designed for use only with the Futaba transmitters indicated elsewhere in this manual. In order to use the TM-7 transmitter module, you will need to carefully remove the existing transmitter module and replace it with the TM-7 transmitter module. The receiver R607FS, as the model number indicates, is capable of controlling models up to seven channels. Please note: The installation of the R607FS differs slightly from that of a typical receiver. Please pay special attention to the information contained within this manual in order to have a pleasant flying experience. Features: · 2. 4GHz Spread Spectrum radio communication system. · Exclusive ID code to avoid interference from other FASST systems. · Fail Safe (F/S) function (for throttle channel)-F/S, Battery F/S · Dual antenna diversity (R607FS) Usage Precautions: 1) Prior to utilizing any radio control system, it is strongly recommended that you read and abide by the Safety Code created by the Academy of Model Aeronautics as well as any site specific rules and regulations that might exist. Continue holding the button until the green LED begins to glow solidly and the red LED blinks. 1 2 3 Ensure that the transmitter is set to the PPM (pulse position modulation) mode. Please consult the respective owner's manual for your particular transmitter for information on how to do so. While it is unlikely that the existing transmitter will interfere with the radio frequency transmission of the TM-7, we suggest removing it from the transmitter if possible as a precaution. Next, with the transmitter's power off, remove the existing transmitter module and install the TM-7 module with care so that the connector pins of the transmitter won't be damaged. With the receiver on, press and hold the Easy Link button, located on the receiver between the two antenna exits, for approximately one second. When the linking process has been completed, the LED on the receiver will change to a solid green. Receiver Installation You will note that the R607FS differs in appearance from the standard Futaba receiver. The R607FS incorporates two separate antennas into its design which enables it to receive the radio frequency transmission at two different locations. Futaba's dual antenna diversity, or DAD, then seamlessly selects the best signal reception between these antennas to ensure that there is no loss of signal. the receiver antennas. Be very careful when handling of the antennas or exRepeated bending and flexing cessive force could weaken or compromise the internal antenna connections. WARNING Re-Arming the F/S (Failsafe) To activate the failsafe once again, depress the F/S button on the rear of the transmitter while turning the transmitter's power on. Continue holding the button until the green and Red LED's begin blinking. *Please note: re-arming the F/S does not alter the pre-determined throttleservoposition. Tomodifythissetting, pleasefollowtheF/S positionsettingprocedure. Keep the antennas away from the motor, ESC, and other noise sources as much as possible. Antenna Coaxial cable Antenna *Must be kept as straight as possible. Antenna F/S position setting procedure The F/S position is stored, or modified, by the position of the throttle stick during the linking procedure. As such, although the TM-7 and R607FS have been linked at the factory, we suggest re-linking them once again to adjust the throttle position to your desired location. If, however, this module will be utilized in France, the switch must be set to "France". With the transmitter's throttle stick in the desired F/S position, and the receiver located within one (1) meter of the transmitter, turn on the transmitter. [. . . ] The chart below provides you with an easy reference as to the meaning of the LEDs. Easy Link Each TM-7 transmitter module has an individually assigned unique ID code. In order to start operation, the receiver must be linked to the respective TM-7's ID code. Once the linking is done, the ID code is stored in the receiver and the re-linking is not necessary unless the receiver is to be used with a different TM-7 module. Additionally, it is important to note that this TM-7 and R607FS receiver set has already been linked by the factory. [. . . ]
