Thank you for purchasing the Radiomaster ER8G ExpressLRS receiver. The ER8G receiver is based on the revolutionary ExpressLRS system. It offers high performance,
high reliability, flexible configuration, fast response speed and ultra-long range. The ER8G Receiver has the same functionality as the ER8GV only without a built in
Vario for competitions that prohibit the use of Vario or simply for users who do not need a vario on their receiver.
Important:
1.The recommended ELRS LUA settings on the remote-control end are:
- Standard servos:
Packet Rate：
100Hz Full
Telem Ratio：
Std (1:32)（default if unsure）
Switch Mode：
8ch
- Performance servos:
Packet Rate：
333Hz Full
Telem Ratio：
Std (1:128)
Switch Mode：
8ch
6: ExpressLRS Arming requirements and the use of Channel 5: CH5 is required by ExpressLRS to set the Arm state of the RF module in your radio. It is
recommended to assign CH5 to a switch such as your throttle cut switch as this will provide benefits such as dynamic power. Using the ExpressLRS LUA
or the Wifi WebUI, you can assign different channels to the CH5 output of your receiver. See example to the right:
Please visit https://www.expresslrs.org/ to learn more on the importance of setting up arming.
The Radiomaster ER8G receiver has been specially designed for glider pilots who require a compact and slim receiver. It can drive up to 8 servos and
has built-in receiver voltage telemetry and flight battery telemetry with the ability to automatically detect which voltage input to use (only one
voltage input can be used at the any given time). The ER8G features a dual-antenna with telemetry power up to 100mw. The ER8G receiver does not
have a built-in altimeter for competitions that prohibit the use of vario. The ER8G can be used with a 1S Lipo receiver battery.

Binding method (Traditional):
1. The first time you power on your receiver, the LED will double blink. This indicates that the receiver is
in bind mode. If this is not the case, hold down the boot button for 10 seconds to reset the receiver.
2. Open the ExpressLRS LUA on your remote controller and select [BIND], then confirm.
3. A successful bind is indicated by the light being a steady on, indicating that frequency binding was
successful.
Note: To bind the receiver a second time or to another radio, power cycle the receiver 3 times. On
the third power cycle, the LED will double blink indicating bind mode. If you cannot successfully enter
bind mode with the 3 power cycle method, you can hold down the boot button for 10 seconds to reset
the receiver to bind mode or use the passphrase method below.
WARNING:
All previous settings in the receiver will be erased and need to be set again when using the
reset button.
2: The maximum input voltage for the EXT-V (external voltage input) telemetry reading is 35V. Do
not exceed 35V or the receiver will be damaged.
3: The EXT-V (external voltage input) of the ER8G is accessed via the EXT-V solder pad on the PCB. A
single wire must be soldered to this pad and connected to the positive wire of the battery or ESC. If
no EXT-V power source is found, the ER8G will default to reading the voltage on the receiver pins,
only one voltage input can be used at the any given time.
4: Please ensure that the power supply current of the ESC BEC matches the power consumption
requirements of the servo used. If using high-voltage and high-torque servos, it is recommended
to use a 2S 7.4V battery for direct power supply or a suitable high-current UBEC.
5: Calibration of the telemetry voltage will be required on your radio. Navigate to the telemetry
page on your radio and locate the RxBt sensor. Edit the sensor settings and adjust the offset until
the displayed reading matches the actual voltage of the battery in the model. If there is a large
difference, adjustment of the ratio may also be required.

Binding method (Passphrase).
1. Open the ExpressLRS LUA and navigate to the Wifi Connectivity page. Select the Enable
Wifi option and connect to your radios wifi with a mobile phone, tablet or PC (See TX Wifi
notes below). Open the WebUI (Express LRS web page on http://10.0.0.1/) and choose a
unique bind phrase. Note Bind phrases are not secret and can be read. Save and Reboot.
2. Power up the receiver and wait 60 seconds for the LED to blink rapidly to indicate Wifi
mode. Connect your phone, tablet or PC to the receivers Wifi (See TX Wifi notes below).
Open the WebUI (Express LRS web page on http://10.0.0.1/) and enter the matching bind
phrase previously entered on your radio. Note Bind phrases are not secret and can be read.
Save and Reboot. Once a radio and a receiver have the same bind phrase set they will
automatically bind.
