7. FS-SR8 Function instructions
FS-SR8 based on ANT protocol is a 8-channels receiver with two external antennas and bidirectional transmission.
It has a compact design. The design of the receiver is easily to install, and it adapts a variety of models.
The RSSI data output via channel 14 to flight control in the manner of SERVO/S.BUS signal. The signal strength is 0
and the corresponding channel output value is 1000, and The signal strength is 100, then corresponding channel
output value is 2000.
The firmware of this receiver is updated through the FlyskyAssistant (Only version 3.0 or above is supported. The
firmware of FlyskyAssistant is available on the Flysky official website).
This receiver can be updated via the following two ways:
1.
After the binding between the transmitter and the receiver (the LED of the receiver is solid on), connect the
transmitter to thecomputer, then open the FlyskyAssistant on the computer to update the firmware.
2.
Connect the transmitter to the computer. Then put the receiver to enter the forced update mode by referring
to the following three ways (The LED of the receiver operates in three-flash-one-off manner repeatedly).
Afterwards, open the FlyskyAssistant on the computer to update the firmware.
•
Power on the receiver while pressing and holding the
BIND
button for more than ten seconds, until the LED of
the receiver operates in three-flash-one-off manner repeatedly, then release the
BIND
button.
•
Power on the receiver first, then press and hold the BIND button for more than ten seconds, when the LED of
the receiveroperates in three-flash-one-off manner repeatedly, then release the
BIND
button.
•
Connect the bind cable to the signal pins of the BIND and SENS, then power on the receiver.
Note: See
2.2 Receiver Overview
for interface Introduction details.
7.1 Attentions
•
Make sure the product is installed and calibrated correctly, failure to do so may result in serious injury.
•
Make sure the receiver's battery is disconnected before turning off the transmitter, failure to do so can result out
of control.
•
Unreasonable setting of the Failsafe may cause accidents.
•
Make sure the receiver is mounted away from motors, electronic speed controllers or any device that emits
excessive electrical noise.
•
Keep the receiver's antenna at least 1cm away from conductive materials such as carbon or metal.
•
Do not power on the receiver during the setup process to prevent loss of control.

7.5 Failsafe of the Receiver
If you need to re-bind the receiver, please refer to
4.3 Bind
for the steps.
Note：Put the transmitter in bind mode first, and then put the receiver in bind mode.
This receiver supports two failsafe modes:
ON
and
OFF
. You can set it at transmitter side. Please refer to Failsafe in
the previous description.
