r6m rEcEIvEr

The R6M receiver is a precision electronic device forming the heart of your control system. It should be handled 

carefully and protected from moisture, vibration and dust. 

It has been designed to operate with small lightweight JP EnErG servos in a light duty environments, e.g. Park 

Flyer aircraft, JP Twister co-axial helicopters. It should be noted that some model aircraft installations, for 

example, those involving retractable undercarriage, flaps, etc, may impose high current loads/drain on receiver 

and batteries. Therefore, always perform careful ground tests on your airborne equipment BEFORE flying and 

always perform battery and circuit current checks after connecting servos to control surfaces or aircraft fixtures. 

Note the observed current consumption under idle/running conditions and check that battery and circuit capacity 

are sufficient for safe flight at all times under all conditions. If in doubt, run high current load servos from a 

separate battery pack.

Take particular care of the gold-plated receiver pins when attaching or disconnecting connectors.

R6M DEPLOyMENT

The receiver should be secured and mounted in protective foam (JP No 5508000 not supplied) to protect and 

cushion it in the event of impact or vibration: The electronics are sensitive to moisture or damp. Do not expose 

the receiver to damp or wet conditions. 

When installed in a model the aerial should be deployed perpendicular to the rear face of the receiver. The 

receiver aerial is fragile. Do not expose it to vibration, stretching or contact with any object. Ensure that the 

receiver aerial is arranged as in the picture below:

RECEIVER CONNECTIONS

The lower gold pin is negative, the centre pin is positive and the upper pin is signal. 

No physical polarisation of connectors is provided therefore check carefully before making connections to the 

receiver.

Servo connection to 

channels 1:6 pins

Battery/switch connection 

to battery ‘B’ pins

Negative lead 

is lower

Channel Assignment:

1 - Throttle

2 - Aileron

3 - Elevator

4 - Rudder

R6M SPECIFICATIONS

Operation .........................................................................................4.8V to 6.0V

Idle current (transmitter and receiver on, no servos connected) ...40mA

 warninG!

Warning: The R6M Receiver must not be operated below 4.4V!

Warning: Incorrect connection may cause damage and/or receiver failure!

Warning: Exposure of the receiver to high vibration, damp or wet conditions may cause it to stop working!
