R7208SB– FASSTest Bi-Directional Communication System S.Bus/S.Bus2

With the Futaba R7208SB, Futaba offers a particularly light and small receiver with telemetry and the new Dual RX function. Its narrow design makes it ideal for use in narrow fuselages.

When the R7208SB is operated in Dual RX mode, a second S.BUS/S.BUS2 receiver is connected to the one on the R7208SB and operated in parallel. Receiver redundancy further increases model reliability: In case of a problem at the main receiver, the system switches to the second receiver in a flash.

An additional S.BUS/S.BUS2 receiver is required to operate the R7208SB in dual link mode.

The R7208SB features antenna diversity. The receiver constantly compares which antenna has the better signal and switches to it in a flash.

Analog 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 analog servos). The PWM ports can be switched so that channels 9 to 18 can be used alternatively at the ports. Or the ports can be used as additional S.BUS2 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. 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 analog servos are to be used on the S.BUS, they must be connected using a PWM adapter.

S.BUS2 sensors can be connected to the S.BUS2 ports. They transmit up to 32 telemetry data sets. The receiver has an integrated telemetry transmitter that transmits the data to the transmitter (FASSTest only). This allows the measured values to be displayed or acoustically output at the transmitter. In addition, the receiver automatically always 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!
