ESC  (  motor  controller)  that  supplies  power 
from the drive battery (BEC- Battery Eliminator 
Circuit) to the receiver cannot be used.

Usage precaution

• Analog ser vos cannot be used with the R7018SB in the 

FASSTest 12CH mode.

• When the FASST Multi-ch High-speed Mode is used, analog 

servos cannot be used at the CH1

6 outputs for convention 

systems. However, in other than the FASSTest 12CH mode, 
analog servos can be used at CH7

16, DG1 and DG2 at 

any time.

• Don't connect to Extra Voltage Telemetry Port before turning 

on a receiver.

WARNING

Changes or modification not especially approved by the party 

responsible  for  compliance  could  void  the  userʼ s  authority  to 
operate the equipment.

When  the  model  is  not  being  used,  always  remove  or 

disconnect the battery.

When the switch is off, a slight amount of current still flows. Unless the 

switch and battery are disconnected, the battery will be damaged from 
excessive discharge. 

The  R7018SB  receiver  should  be  protected  from  vibration  by 

foam rubber, Velcro, or similar mounting methods.  Protect from 
moisture.

Keep away from conductive materials to avoid short circuits.

When  only  one  battery  is  connected,  always  insulate  the 

unused connector.

Antenna installation precaution

Do not cut or bundle the receiver antenna wire. 

 

Do not bend the coaxial cable. It causes damage.

The antennas must be mounted in such a way to assure they 

are strain relieved.  

Keep the antenna as far away from the motor, ESC and other 

noise sources as you possibly can.

Be sure that the two antennas are placed at 90 degrees to each 

other.

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 fuselage

You must leave 30mm at the tip of the antenna fully exposed. 

The exposed antenna should be secured so that it cannot move 
around or back inside of your aircraft. 

Be careful of connector insertion

Don't connect an S.BUS servo / gyro to S.BUS2 connector.

Do  not  connect  the  power  supply  battery  to  other  than  the 

power supply connector.

There is the danger of ignition, explosion, or burning.

Link precaution

Do not perform the linking procedure while the motor's main 

power  connected  or  the  engine  is  operating  as  it  may  result  in 
serious injury.

When the linking is complete, please cycle the receiver power 

and ensure the receiver is properly linked to the transmitter.

Please  power  up  your  system  in  this  order.    Transmitter  first, 

followed by the receiver. 

If the R7018SB receiver was previously linked to another 

transmitter, make sure that transmitter is not operating while 
linking the receiver to the new transmitter.

Thank you for purchasing a Futaba 

R7018SB

 

FASSTest-2.4GHz

 compatible receiver.

 

The 

R7018SB

 receiver features bi-directional 

communication with a 

FASSTest

 Futaba transmitter using the 

S.BUS2

 port.  Using the 

S.BUS2

 port an impressive array of telemetry 

sensors may be utilized.  It also includes both standard PWM output ports and 

S.BUS 

output ports.
