FrSky Archer PLUS R12+ Instruction Manual

Introduction
The Archer line of receivers has been enhanced further with the addition of the new Archer Plus Series.
The Archer Plus series receivers include some new features. Firstly an enhanced anti-RF-Interference capability
can offer a more solid RF performance, and this is in addition to existing anti-interfere performance in the spark
ignition process. These Plus series receivers are also with both ACCESS and ACCST D16 modes, where the RF
protocol is smart matched during the binding process on the radio. With the Black-Box function, some basic flight
data (like Power & Signal related) can be well preserved.
The R12+ | SR12+ receivers have 12 configurable channel ports*, each channel port can be assigned as PWM,
SBUS, FBUS, or S.Port. The R12+ | SR12+ supports full-range signal strength with dual detachable antennas
and guarantees optimal antenna reception and range. The R12+ | SR12+ can be used as a Primary receiver in a
redundant solution by setting a port (Channel Port 1) as SBUS In and connecting to any other FrSky receiver
equipped with an SBUS Out port. With the FBUS protocol, the Archer Plus series receivers can open up the
possibility of seamlessly pairing with multiple telemetry devices (XACT servos, ADV Sensors, etc.) as well as
simplifying the builds setup.
The R12+ | SR12+ also provides a socket that can be used to connect the switch panel to enable the built-in
Power Switch function, and it uses a set of standard XT30 plugs which also provides a safe and efficient way to
provide power. By utilizing together with current overload wires on the channel ports, the connected device can
be safeguarded.
The Archer Plus SR12+ are gyro-stabilized receivers with a built-in 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer
and feature multiple flight modes (Auto-level, Stabilization, Knife-Edge, etc.). The stabilization mode has been
enhanced with 5 additional stabilization channels, providing pin mapping to each channel in the multiple flight
modes.
(*Some features require the support of ACCESS and ETHOS.)
Overview
17.9mm
Warning: Do not plug the additional power supply through other ports (Channel, S.Port, SBUS,
FBUS, etc.) while using the battery via XT30 battery connectors to power the receiver.
Note: In ACCST mode, SBUS Out is assigned on Pin11 & S.Port is on Pin12.
