Thank you for purchasing a Futaba 

R2001SB

 

S-FHSS 2.4GHz

 compatible receiver.

The 

R2001SB

 has an 

S.BUS

 system output port and a conventional system channel output. It can also be used with 

conventional system servos, etc. in addition to 

S.BUS

 system compatible servos and gyros.

Antenna installation precaution

Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire.  

Do not bend the coaxial cable. It causes damage.

The antenna should not be pulled.              

Keep the antenna as far away from the motor, ESC 

and other noise sources as you possibly can.

Do not touch the antenna to metal, carbon, or other 

conductive material.

Be sure that the two antennas are placed at 90 

degrees to each other.

• The R2001SB has two antennas.  In order to maximize signal 

reception and promote safe modeling Futaba has adopted a diversity 
antenna system.  This allows the receiver to obtain RF signals on 
both antennas and fly problem-free.

Antenna installation for carbon fuse

WARNING

The antenna portion of 30mm tip must be fully 

exposed.

• Please make sure that the exposed portion won't slide back in the 

fuse due to wind pressure or other force during the flight session.

Usage precaution

•  Futaba S-FHSS system does not work with current Futaba FASST/

FASSTest/T-FHSS system. Futaba FASST/FASSTest/T-FHSS sys-

tem and S-FHSS system are not compatible to each other.

WARNING

Wrap the receiver with something soft, such as foam 

rubber, to avoid vibration. Moreover, the receiver must 
not get wet.

Do not short-circuit the connectors.

Do not expose the receiver to high temperatures.

• The shrink cover could become distorted.

Do not break the tube.

• Could cause a short circuit.

When inserting and removing a connector, hold the 

receiver tightly.

• Be careful so that a tube doesn't come off.

Please refer the table below for LED status vs 
receiver's condition.

S.BUS equipment

• Power requirement: 4.8V to 7.4V
• Battery F/S Voltage: 3.8V 

* Be sure that when using ESC's regulated output the current capacity 

of the ESC meets your usage condition.

* The Battery F/S voltage is set for 4-cell NiCd/NiMH battery. Bat-

tery F/S function doesn't work properly when a different type 
of battery is used.

* The fail safe function can be set for each channel. However, it dif-

fers according to the transmitter. When you use TM-FH RF Module, 
the fail safe function can be set for channel 3 only.

S.BUS

 port: R2001SB can be used with up to 8 channels. However, 

it differs according to the transmitter. An unused channel is a neutral 
signal. The F/S setting channel at F/S is F/S position

Another, it is 

Hold signal.
