4. Configuració

4.1. Receiver Layout and Connections

The ARCHER SR8 Pro receiver features various ports for power, signal, and telemetry. Refer to the diagram below for a visual guide to the connections.

Figure 1: ARCHER SR8 Pro Receiver Port Layout

• Canals PWM (1-8): Connect your servos and other PWM-controlled devices here.
• SORTIDA SBUS: Provides a single SBUS output for devices that support it, allowing for more channels than the physical PWM ports.
• ENTRADA DE SBUS: Used for signal redundancy, allowing connection to another receiver. Note: When the STAB function is enabled, the SBUS IN signal can be adjusted through the STAB module of the SR8 PRO.
• AIN2: Entrada analògica per a volum externtage detection (0-36V).
• LED: Indicador d'estat.
• Antenes: Dual detachable antennas for optimal signal reception. Ensure they are mounted at 90-degree angles to each other for best diversity.

4.2. Procediment vinculant

The ARCHER SR8 Pro uses the FrSky ACCESS protocol for binding. The binding process typically involves putting both the transmitter and receiver into bind mode. For detailed, step-by-step instructions on binding with your specific FrSky ACCESS transmitter, please refer to the official FrSky manual for the ARCHER SR8 Pro, available on the FrSky weblloc.

4.3. Instal·lació

Mount the receiver securely within your model, away from sources of electrical interference (e.g., motors, ESCs, high-current wires). Ensure the dual detachable antennas are positioned to maximize signal reception. It is recommended to mount them at a 90-degree angle to each other, with the active tips clear of carbon fiber or metal obstructions.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

5.1. Flight Modes and Stabilization

The SR8 Pro's integrated 3-axis gyroscope and accelerometer enable various stabilization features and flight modes. These modes are configurable and allow for enhanced flight stability and control. Specific details on configuring and utilizing these flight modes can be found in the comprehensive manual on the FrSky weblloc.

5.2. Mètodes de configuració

The receiver supports configuration through LUA scripts on compatible FrSky transmitters and via the Freelink software. These tools allow for fine-tuning of stabilization parameters, channel mapping, telemetry settings, and other advanced features.

5.3. Telemetry and Protocols

The SR8 Pro provides full telemetry capabilities, transmitting real-time data back to your FrSky ACCESS transmitter. It supports S.Port, F.Port, and F.Port 2.0 protocols, which can be switched as needed. Telemetry power is configurable to optimize performance and battery life.

6. Manteniment

• Mantenir net: Regularly inspect the receiver for dirt, dust, or moisture. Clean with a soft, dry brush if necessary.
• Comproveu les connexions: Ensure all wiring connections (PWM, SBUS, AIN2, power) are secure and free from damage before each use.
• Integritat de l'antena: Inspect antennas for any kinks, cuts, or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain optimal signal reception.
• Actualitzacions de firmware: Utilize the Over The Air (OTA) feature for wireless firmware updates to ensure your receiver has the latest features and performance enhancements. Check the FrSky website periodically for new firmware releases.

7. Solució De Problemes

• Sense senyal/pèrdua de control:
  • Verify the receiver is correctly bound to your FrSky ACCESS transmitter.
  • Check antenna placement and ensure they are not obstructed or damaged.
  • Confirm the receiver is within the operational control range.
  • Ensure the transmitter's RF module is functioning correctly.
• Problemes d'alimentació:
  • Comproveu la font d'alimentació voltage to the receiver; it must be within the 3.5V - 10V operating range.
  • Inspect power connections for loose wires or corrosion.
• Stabilization Malfunction:
  • Review your flight mode and stabilization settings via LUA scripts or Freelink.
  • Ensure the receiver is mounted securely and correctly oriented in the model.
• Interferència:
  • If experiencing interference, especially in spark-ignition environments, ensure proper shielding and separation from ignition components.
• Compatibilitat:
  • Ensure your transmitter is an FrSky ACCESS compatible model. The SR8 Pro is not compatible with older ACCST protocols.

8. Consells d'usuari

• Transmitter Compatibility: Always verify that your FrSky ACCESS transmitter is compatible with the SR8 Pro receiver. While it works with all ACCESS transmitters, specific features or setup nuances might exist for different transmitter models (e.g., Radiomaster TX16S with FrSky ACCESS module).
• Versatilitat de l'aplicació: Although primarily designed for airplanes, the SR8 Pro's stabilization and channel capabilities make it suitable for various remote control vehicles and toys, including glow helicopters, provided the power requirements and physical dimensions are met.
• Col·locació de l'antena: Experiment with antenna placement to find the optimal configuration for your specific model, ensuring maximum range and signal reliability. Avoid placing antennas directly against carbon fiber or large metal components.
