Introduction Overview The RB-30/RB-40 utilizes all the trusted attributes of the previous Redundancy Bus series along with adding new features to meet the needs of an ever-growing range of users. NON-CONTACT SWITCH The upgraded redundancy hub Previous redundancy bus models offered a dual-power with a dual-receiver design, the RB-30/RB-40 allows the user to use a triple redundancy by adding a multiplex port (RX3 IN / SBUS Out) and uses a set of standard XT30/XT60 plugs which provides a safe and efficient way to provide power.
* The RX3 IN can be switched to S.BUS OUT by the script or the Scroll button or the Freelink App. • BATTERY INPUT1&BATTERY INPUT2-connectors for batteries, supply power for RB-30/RB-40 and connected receivers. • OUTPUT1&OUTPUT2: SBEC OUTPUT, Continuous Current: 2*15A@5~8.4V (RB-30 ) / 2*30A@5~8.4V(RB-40) Note: Use voltage above 16.8V if you want to reach 30A@8.4V please.

Attention: CH1~CH8 should be connected to the corresponding servos. 1. RB-30/RB-40 doesn't support hotplug. When RX1 or RX2 is replaced halfway, RB-30/RB-40 needs to be repowered Set up your model and receiver 2. Make sure both of the receivers output the same signal. For example,when S8R and X8R are used together, disable Stab function on S8R, or they will output different signals.

(CH11 SW Down) (CH11 SW Up) (CH11 SW Mid) Note: The default mode of RB-30/RB-40 is Quick Mode.When re-flashing firmware of RB-30/RB-40 or replacing Delta wing & Flying wing & V-tail with a new one, the preset mode will be erased.

When Delta wing/Flying wing/V-tail is selected, the signal produced by the transmitter should be without active mixes on the Configuration channels related to AIL and ELE. RB-30/RB-40 will mix the AIL(CH1) and ELE(CH2) input signal with a fixed mix percentage Methods: APP configuration automatically.

• Click the “Calibration” button and wait until the BLUE LED flashing, indicating the calibration on this orientation has been completed. • Repeat the above step five times (remaining 5 dimensions). Placing RB-30/RB-40 in the required orientation, ensure all values (X, Y, Z, Mod) are 1.000 with the deviation of ±0.1.

• Always install RB-30/RB-40 straight and level in the model. If required, PC software could be used to adjust the angle of to flight modes is correct and the compensation direction of the gyro is set as intended on AIL, RUD and ELE.
