R7008SB FASSTest

With the Futaba R7008SB, Futaba offers a particularly light and small receiver with telemetry. Its slim design makes it ideal for use in narrow fuselages.

Analogue or digital servos can be connected to ports 1 to 8. To enable shorter response times, the servo output signal for digital servos can be changed to 6.3 ms (instead of 16 ms for analogue servos). The PWM ports can be switched so that channels 9 to 18 can be used alternatively at the ports.

Up to 18 programmable S.BUS servos or other S.BUS components such as gyros, flybarless systems or governors can be connected to the S.BUS port (port 8). All S.BUS servos are digitally addressed and can be connected with a single servo line (3 wires). Although 4 servos are installed in a wing, only one servo cable goes into the wing. This keeps the complete wiring very simple and clear. If analogue servos are to be used on the S.BUS, they must be connected using a PWM adapter.

The R7008SB has antenna diversity. The receiver constantly compares which antenna has the better signal and switches to it in a flash.

S.BUS2 sensors can be connected to the S.BUS2 port. They transmit up to 32 telemetry data sets. The receiver has an integrated telemetry transmitter that transmits the data to the transmitter (FASSTest only). In this way, the measured values can be displayed on the transmitter or output acoustically. In addition, the receiver always automatically transmits the voltage of the receiver power supply (voltage sensor is integrated) and the signal strength.

ATTENTION: The receiver supports HV (High Voltage) and can be powered directly from a 2s LiPo battery. Always make sure that the connected servos are also designed for HV!
