R6DS FAQ
Q:What transmitters are compatible with R6DS?
A:R6DS is compatible with RadioLink AT9/AT9S/AT9S Pro/AT10/AT10II.
Q:How to bind R6DS to transmitter?
A:
1. Put the transmitter and the receiver close to each other (about 50 centimeters) and power both on.
2. Switch on the transmitter and the LED of R6DS will be on.
3. There is a black binding button (ID SET) on the side of receiver. Press the button for more than 1 second and release, the LED will flash quickly, meaning binding process is ongoing.
4. When the LED stops flashing and is always on, binding is complete and there will be a signal tower shown on top of the screen of the transmitter.
Q:What signal output does R6DS support?
A:R6DS supports SBUS, PPM and PWM signals output synchronously.
Receiver indicator is RED with all 6 channels output PWM signal.
Receiver indicator is Blue (Purple) with 10 channels output in total and synchronously output SBUS, PPM and PWM signal and this mode is adaptable to helicopter model. Ch1 is PPM, Ch2 is SBUS, Ch3 is PWM, Ch4 to Ch6 output independent PWM signal that initial Ch8 to Ch10 output.
Short press the binding button (ID SET) twice within 1 second to switch the S-BUS&PPM signal to PWM signal. When the Red LED is on, signal output is PWM of totally 6 channels. When the Blue/Purple LED is on, signal output is SBUS&PPM of 10 channels.
Q:Why the LED indicator of R6DS is off after it’s powered on?
A:
1. Check if the battery is charged.
2. Check if the polarity is correctly connected.
3. Check if connection between the receivers and the power supply is good.
If there’s no problem with the above three points, the receiver may get burnt and needs to be repaired.
Q:Why the vehicle can’t be controlled after the binding between R6DS and transmitter is done?
A:First, check if the power supply of the receiver and the transmitter is ok.
Then modify the channel quantity of the transmitter (AT9/AT9S/AT10/AT10II) as 10 to work with R6DS, the 10-channel receiver.
Press Mode button to enter BASIC MENU => Rotate the dial to select SYSTEM and Enter => Set CH-SELECT as 10CH.
Q:When R6DS works with AT9S, why the control range is more limited than 600 meters (in air) as advertised?
A:
1. Check if the antenna of transmitter and receiver is damaged or welded joint.
2. Check if there’s interference resources like electricity substation or high voltage cable or WIFI nearby.
3. Check the RSSI value.
① Power on the transmitter and receiver with both antennas parallel and straight and within the distance of 30cm.
② Then check the RSSI value. Range between 0~-30dBM is normal and if the value gets closer to 0, the signal is stronger.
Q:Why is there no response when pressing the binding button (ID SET) of R6DS?
A:Please try short circuit binding by metal. Remove the cover of the receiver and power it on, use a metal accessory to touch the silver pad on both sides of the binding button to do the binding or signal output switch as below picture shows. If there’s still no response, the receiver may get burnt and needs to be repaired.
