Safe sur toutes les voies.
Suivez les étapes ci-dessous pour régler
Fail Safe dans le R4-B:
1) Appairer le récepteur tout d’abord et
désactivez la fonction Fail Safe de votre
émetteur
2) Mettre toutes les commandes de
l’émetteur dans la position désirée pour
le Fail Safe
2) Presser brièvement sur la touche F/S
(à l’aide d’un stylet), la LED verte va
clignoter 2 fois, indiquant que le Fail
Safe a été programmé avec succès.
Si vous voulez annuler la fonction Fail Safe,
il suffi t de ré-appairer le récepteur pour
revenir au réglage par défaut.
1) Allumer l’émetteur
2) Presser et maintenir la

Do you have a question about the Topmodel XPower R4-B and is the answer not in the manual?

Overview

  1. Function Description
  2. Important Technical Specifications
  3. Usage Features
  4. Maintenance Features

The XPower R4-B receiver is a compact and versatile 2.4GHz FASST receiver designed for air systems, supporting 7-channel and multi-mode operation. It is specifically engineered to provide reliable control for various RC aircraft applications.

Function Description

The primary function of the XPower R4-B is to receive control signals from a compatible 2.4GHz FASST transmitter and translate them into commands for up to four channels. This allows for the control of essential aircraft functions such as ailerons, elevator, rudder, and throttle. A key feature of this receiver is its support for two distinct Fail Safe setting options: either utilizing the native Fail Safe position preset on the transmitter side or programming the Fail Safe directly on the R4-B receiver itself. This dual approach offers flexibility and enhanced safety in case of signal loss.

Beyond standard PWM output for individual channels, the R4-B receiver also boasts advanced capabilities for CPPM (Combined PPM signal) and RSSI (Receiver Signal Strength Indicator) output. By connecting CH3 and CH4 with a jumper, CH1 will output CPPM for channels 1 through 8, while CH2 will output RSSI as a PWM signal. This makes the R4-B suitable for more complex setups, including flight controllers that benefit from single-wire CPPM input and telemetry systems that utilize RSSI for signal quality monitoring.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Number of Channels: 4
  • Modulation: 2.4GHz PPM FASST
  • Compatibility: FASST 2.4GHz Air Systems (7CH Mode/Multi Mode)
  • Range: Visual (line of sight)
  • Operating Voltage Range (DC): 3.5V to 10V
  • Operating Temperature Range: -10°C to +80°C
  • Weight: 5.2g
  • Dimensions: 42mm x 22.2mm x 7mm (approximately)
  • CPPM Output: Available on CH1 when CH3 and CH4 are jumpered, providing combined PPM for CH1-CH8.
  • RSSI Output: Available on CH2 as a PWM signal when CH3 and CH4 are jumpered.
  • Period (CPPM): Approximately 18ms (for CH1-CH8)
  • Duty Cycle (PWM): 1% to 99%

These specifications highlight the receiver's suitability for a wide range of RC aircraft, offering a good balance of size, weight, and performance. The broad operating voltage range allows for compatibility with various battery configurations, while the wide temperature range ensures reliable operation in diverse environmental conditions.

Usage Features

The XPower R4-B is designed for straightforward use, with clear procedures for binding and Fail Safe setup.

Binding Procedure:

  1. Turn on the transmitter.
  2. Press and hold the F/S key on the receiver (using a stylus).
  3. Connect the battery pack to power the receiver.
  4. Once the red LED turns off and the green LED becomes solid, release the F/S key.
  5. The binding process is complete, and the receiver should now operate normally.

Fail Safe Settings: The R4-B offers two Fail Safe options:

  1. Native Fail Safe (Transmitter Side): If the Fail Safe function is not disabled on the transmitter, the R4-B will automatically use the Fail Safe positions preset on the transmitter.
  2. Fail Safe on R4-B Side: This method allows programming Fail Safe directly into the receiver for all channels.
    • First, bind the receiver and disable Fail Safe on the transmitter.
    • Set all transmitter controls to the desired Fail Safe positions.
    • Briefly press the F/S key on the receiver. The green LED will flash twice, confirming successful Fail Safe setup.
    • To cancel the R4-B Fail Safe function, simply re-bind the receiver to revert to the default Fail Safe mode.

LED Status Indicators: The receiver features a red and a green LED to indicate its operational status:

  • Normal Operation: Red LED off, Green LED on.
  • Waiting to be Bound: Red LED on, Green LED on.
  • Signal Lost: Red LED flashing, Green LED on.
  • Fail Safe Set: Red LED on, Green LED flashing twice.

RX Battery Pack Connection: The receiver battery pack can be plugged into any free input on the receiver. If all four channels are in use, a Y-cord can be used to connect the battery pack, freeing up a channel for other uses.

CPPM and RSSI Output: To enable CPPM and RSSI output, a jumper must be connected between CH3 and CH4. Once jumpered, CH1 will output CPPM for channels 1-8, and CH2 will output RSSI (PWM). This feature is particularly useful for integrating the receiver with flight controllers that accept CPPM input and for monitoring signal strength.

Maintenance Features

The manual emphasizes proper handling and storage to ensure the longevity and reliable operation of the receiver. While specific maintenance procedures are not detailed, the general advice includes:

  • Careful Reading of Manual: Users are advised to read the entire manual thoroughly before use to understand proper operation and safety procedures. This helps prevent misuse that could lead to damage or malfunction.
  • Safe Storage: After reading, the manual should be stored in a safe place for future reference. This implies that understanding the device's operation and specifications is key to its maintenance.
  • Contacting Service Center: In case of perceived errors or omissions in the manual, or if corrections or clarifications are needed, users are encouraged to contact the service center. This suggests that technical support is available for troubleshooting and guidance, which can be considered a form of maintenance support.

The XPower R4-B receiver is designed to be a "set and forget" component once properly installed and configured, with its robust design and clear status indicators minimizing the need for ongoing user maintenance beyond ensuring proper power supply and signal integrity.
