*Refer to the instruction manual of the transmitter or module used

for a description of the linking operation, F/S position setting
methods and other details.

When using Multi prop (MPDX-1)                                              

The 

MPDX-1

 can be used with 

FASSTest

 by merely 

setting the corresponding transmitter. (Refer to the 
instruction manual of the corresponding transmitter.) 
When using the 

MPDX-1

 Multi Prop Decoder (sold 

separately) with the 

FASST

 system, change the setting by 

the following method.

Enable the 

MPDX-1

 at channels 11 and 12. (Initial value: 

OFF)

Channels 11 and 12 cannot be used individually for 

MPDX-1

 output.

The

 MPDX-1 

extends 1 channel to 8 channels. However, 

since the response speed becomes slower and there are 
functional restrictions, use it at simple switch operation 
and other applications that require numerous channels.

Multi prop mode Change method                                          
1

. Switch the receiver to the FASST system (Normal or

High-speed).

2

. Turn on the receiver power. (Transmitter power off)

3

4

. When the LED blinks red and changes to red/green

simultaneous rapid blinking, release the switch.

5

. The receiver enters the multi prop mode and the LED of

the current mode blinks. (Initial value: OFF)

6

. Each time the switch is pressed, the mode changes.

7

. When the receiver was switched to the desired mode,

press the Link/Mode switch for at least 2 seconds.

8

. When the LED switches to red/green simultaneous

rapid blinking, mode switching is complete. Release the
switch.

9

. When switching is complete, turn on the power. When

the power is turned on, the receiver switches to the new
mode.

FASST

When switched, the 

R7018SB

 can use the 

FASST-Multi-ch

 mode. When the 

FASST

 system is used, the telemetry and 

Extra Voltage ports cannot be used. The 

FASST

 system has a Normal mode and a High-speed mode. However, in the 

High-speed mode, analog servos cannot be used at CH1

1

. Switch the receiver to FASSTest system.

2

. Link the transmitter and receiver, and after confirming

operation, turn off the power.

3

. Turn on the receiver power. (Transmitter power off)

4

. Press the Link/Mode switch for at least 10 seconds.

5

. After the LED blinks red and changes to red/green

simultaneous rapid blinking, release the switch. 

6

. The receiver enters the linked with TMA-1 mode, and

the LED begins red/green simultaneous rapid blinking.

7

. Press the TMA-1 link switch until the LED starts to blink

and wait for the TMA-1 to link.

8

. When TMA-1 linking is complete, the TMA-1 LED

changes from red to green for a moment.

9

. When linking is complete, turn on the receiver power

and check the operation of all the devices.
