2.4GHz System
PK-FSM2.4G Module and
R603FS Receiver
Thank you for purchasing a PK-FSM2.4G module and an R603FS receiver. This system is
based on the combination of the newly developed 2.4GHz module and its correspondent
receiver. The system utilizes the 2.4GHz-SS radio communication and an ultra small antenna.
In addition, the system inherits Futaba's unique HRS (High Response System).
Features
2.4GHzSS (Spread Spectrum) radio communication system
Frequency channel setting unnecessary: Sifting the channels within the 2.4GHz band
automatically, this system minimizes the interference from other 2.4GHz system.
Accepts no unwanted signals by using ID code
The function “Auto-Detect” is utilized to automatically determine which mode is active,
HRS or PPM mode. (R603FS)

Contents and Technical Specifications

System Components Overview

Lists the included components: PK-FSM2.4G module, R603FS receiver, module cover, and mini screwdriver.

System Specifications Details

Details communication method, range, safety features, antenna types, power requirements, and physical dimensions.

Installing the PK-FSM2.4G/R603FS Module

Module Attachment Procedure

Guidance on attaching the PK-FSM2.4G module to the transmitter, emphasizing power-off safety and connector pin care.

Receiver Installation and Setup

Antenna Installation Guidelines

Crucial warnings for optimal range: install antenna high, avoid cutting, keep away from noise, and protect it in a tube.

Coaxial Cable Handling

Warning against bending the coaxial cable of the antenna, as it can cause damage and affect performance.

Receiver Protection Advice

Recommendation to protect the receiver from vibration using soft material and use a waterproof bag if exposed to moisture.

Operational Conditions Caution

Cautionary note on using a 6V NiCd battery for power and 6V Futaba Digital Servo for HRS mode to ensure proper control.

System Power On Procedure

Step 1: Proximity Alignment

Step 1: Bring the transmitter and receiver within one meter of each other before powering on.

Step 2: Transmitter Power On

Step 2: Turn on the transmitter. Check the LED on the module for status indicators (Red/Green On/Blink).

Step 3: Receiver Power On

Step 3: Turn on the receiver. Check the LED on the receiver for status indicators (No signal, Receiving, ID unmatched, Failure).

Step 4: Receiver Tactile Switch

Step 4: Push the tactile switch on the receiver to confirm signal reception and ID matching.

Frequency Range Setting

Frequency Range Selection

Use rotary switches on the module to select the frequency range mode according to country regulations (e.g., GENERAL or FRANCE).

Fail Safe Function Setup

F/S Position Setting (PPM Mode)

In PPM mode, set F/S by moving the throttle trigger/stick to the desired position and pushing the module's tactile switch.

Battery F/S Functionality

Battery F/S activates when receiver voltage drops below 4.75V, moving the throttle servo to a preset position.
