TR826

TM

Tactic’s TR826 8 channel receiver is capable 

of full-range operation for any aircraft type. 
Its SLT protocol makes it compatible with all 

Tactic brand 2.4GHz aircraft transmitters, and other brand radios that include the 

SLT protocol. Twin receiving antennas allow for optimum signal reception and clarity.

OVERVIEW AND INSTALLATION

Refer to the instructions with the aircraft to determine the optimum position for installing the receiver. In some 
aircraft it’s recommended to fi rst wrap the receiver in protective foam, and then use hook-and-loop material to 
mount it to the aircraft.

IMPORTANT!

 Pay close attention to how the antenna tips are routed inside the model. It’s best to orient 

the antenna tips at least 5 inches away from each other, preferably pointing at 90 degree angles. If possible, 
align one antenna tip horizontally and the other vertically inside the model.

LINK THE RECEIVER TO THE TACTIC/SLT COMPATIBLE TRANSMITTER

Linking the TR826 receiver to the Tactic / SLT compatible transmitter ensures sole communication between the two, 
and prevents other transmitters from being able to control the receiver.

 1.  

Turn on the Tx.

 2.  

Apply power to the Rx.

WARNING:

 Make sure the Rx battery is fully 

charged before fl ight! If during fl ight you suspect 
battery power is becoming low, land the aircraft 

as soon as possible and recharge the battery before 
attempting further fl ights.

 3.  

If the Rx LED fl ashes once and then stays on, the 
Rx is already linked to the Tx and you can skip to 

the next section. Otherwise, insert a small diameter 
screwdriver through the hole marked “LINK” and 
press the pushbutton until the Rx LED glows red 
and then turns off after about one second.

 4.  

Release the “LINK” button.

 5.  

If the linking is successful, the Rx LED will fl ash once 

and then remain ON.

 6.  

Test for proper Tx/Rx functionality before use. If the 
radio doesn’t appear to have become properly bound, 
repeat steps 1–5 above.

If the receiver is powered without the transmitter being 
turned on, or signal from the transmitter is not recognized 
by the receiver, the receiver will go to failsafe mode as 
described in the following section.

FAILSAFE FUNCTION

The radio system’s failsafe function is controlled by the TR826 receiver, which engages in the event that the signal 

from the Tx somehow becomes interrupted. In such case, all channels can move to a position which is pre-set by 
the user as follows:

 1.  

IMPORTANT: make sure the servo reverse setting 

for each channel is in the correct position for the 
application.

 2.  

Apply power to the Tx, then the Rx.

 3a.   If using an ESC: do NOT arm the ESC, or attempt 

to adjust the throttle’s failsafe position if the ESC is 
armed. NOTE: If you’re using an ESC which has a 
signal loss feature, its pre-set failsafe position will 
be irrelevant as the receiver’s failsafe function will 
cease the throttle operation if the signal is lost.
