Imagine a radio system with no frequency conflicts ever, Imagine no worry of complete control beyond the range of what you can see, Imagine having the real ability to control your RC plane so smooth, Imagine... Don't imagine any more! The X8 2.4GHz module systems can give you all of these, and much more without changing your transmitter!
X8 2.4GHz module system is for most Futaba, Hitec, JR and Graupner radio systems that has a removable RF module. It is designed as plug and play. It consists of a RF module and receiver, which is easy to install. And you don't need any extra tools. The followings are the steps of installation your X8 2.4Ghz module system to your transmitter.
1. Remove the stock RF Module
Different transmitters have different RF module connecting types. Therefore, before you purchasing our X8 2.4GHz module system, you must make sure which one is suitable to your transmitter. The popular Transmitters include Futaba, Hitec, JR and Graupner. But not all of them have isolate RF module and connect in the same way. Please read the instruction carefully and select right type .
2. Installing X8 2.4GHz RF Module
Take 2.4GHz RF model out of the package (X8F/X8J). Do not install the antenna first. Be careful not to damage the exposing part of screwing threads on antenna base. Put 2.4GHz RF module into corresponding place after taking the original TX module out. Pay attention to proper alignment of pins.
3. Installing removable antenna
Mount removable antenna and screw it into the connecter at the back of X8 2.4GHz RF Module. Finger tight only. For our X8 2.4GHz RF Module, you don’t need to take the original metal antenna out. If you like to remove it, please remember to reinstall the antenna when you turn back to the normal FM mode, otherwise, the transmitter can be easily damaged.
4. Set the transmitter to the PPM mode
When use our X8 2.4GHz RF Module, the transmitter MUST set at PPM mode, PCM mode is not supported. (Please refer to your transmitter instructions)
5. Mounting the Receiver
 
5.1 Select a proper mounting spot, please note
a) Keep the receiver far as possible from engines, motors, battery and other metal parts as well as carbon fibers.
b) Make sure the antenna is not blocked by any conductive or insulating objects. It’s suggested to keep the receiver away from anything else out in open.
5.2 Tie the receiver up
After locating the mounting spots, bind the receiver. Don’t use conductive material to bind the receiver.
Note: Be careful not to damage the exposing part of screwing threads on antenna base.
5.3 Wiring
Connect the controlled parts into corresponding ports. Please make sure signal line 3P must be of right polarity. Reverse polarity of some parts might cause invalidation or other severe damage.
There’re symbols at the bottom of receivers:
- Indicates negative side, connect to the ground, corresponding to black or brown wire of 3P signal line
+ Indicates positive side, generally corresponding to red wire of 3P signal line
? means signal, generally corresponding to yellow or white wire of 3P signal line
Note: Do not start the engine before inspection ready. Make sure the power is sufficient when selecting the way of power supply. X8 2.4GHz receiver requires 4.2V minimum under any circumstance. Applying a voltage monitoring device might be a good idea.
5.4 Mounting the antenna
 
Screw out the red plastic cap on the antenna base in counterclockwise direction. Screw the 2.4GHz antenna pin into receiver base in clockwise direction. Finger tight only to avoid damage to the threads. The connecter of antenna is universal one. The antenna should point outwards during use. |
