FrSky Delta 8 Manual

Delta 8
2.4GHz Receiver with CPPM/RSSI output mode
Compatible with FrSky D8/V8, Futaba S‐FHSS/FHSS and Hitec AFHSS systems
Thank you for purchasing an FrSky Delta receiver. The FrSky Delta receiver is the first multi‐brand
2.4GHz receiver for the R/C market, allowing you all the flexibility gained from not being locked into
a single brand. Please read these instructions fully, as setting up this receiver may differ from what
you are used to
.
Usage
Always set the failsafe. As a minimum, any electric
motors should be set to stop and IC engines to
be either idling or stopped.
Always perform a range check. This should be done
as a minimum before the first flight of the day.
The receiver needs to be protected from vibration.
Wrap it in foam or other similar vibration
absorbent materials.
Electronic devices and fluids do not mix! If the
receiver is going to be used in an area of high
moisture or where it could get wet, please
ensure it is put into a sealed container to
protect it.

Linking to your Transmitter
When linking your receiver, it switches between the different formats to lock onto your transmitter until it finds
it. There are two methods of doing this. Either through an automatic search or manually specifying which brand
you wish to link to.
Antenna mounting
Mount the antenna at 90° angles to each other for
optimum performance.
The antenna should not be situated near areas of
electric noise such as motors, ESCs, gas engines
and ignition units.
When mounting in a carbon fibre aircraft, ensure
that the exposed area of the antenna is
mounted outside the aircraft.
Do not bend the antenna cable around a sharp
radius. The exposed tip should be kept straight.
Do not cut the antenna cable shorter or wrap it into
a coil.

CPPM and RSSI output mode (Advanced Users)
For some applications such as OSD, FBL Helicopters, Flight Controllers, Return to Home systems etc., they may
require CPPM and/or RSSI input. If you need this for your application, you can enable it by putting a jumper
between pins 3 and 4, then link your receiver as described above. Once successfully linked, the receiver will
output CPPM on Servo Connector 1, and output RSSI on Servo Connector 2. As the RSSI output is a digital square
wave, some units may require an analogue filter for their RSSI input. In Hitec AFHSS mode, Servo Connectors 5 to
8 will become Channels 6 to 9. Please refer to your unit instructions for more information.
Failsafe
The failsafe function, in the event of signal loss, will move the servos to a designated position and to stop any
propulsion system. This is to try and prevent a model from causing damage or harm. Note, in many countries, it
