FrSky TANDEM X18R Instruction Manual

Introduction
TD-ISRM RS RF PERFORMANCE
With solid performance based on the dual-band 900M/2.4G RF signal link with multiple operating combinations
of RF modes, the TANDEM X18R/RS versions are equipped with the TD-ISRM RS built-in RF module which is
capable of supporting multiple protocols (like TW, TD, etc).
The TD-ISRM RS RF module has the dual 2.4G TW RF mode and supports simultaneous activation of working
under ACCESS 2.4G and R9 modes with the same module. In this configuration, the ACCESS 2.4G receiver and
R9 receiver can be connected via the SBUS IN/OUT ports to achieve redundant backup. This further enhances
the RF signal's reliability, particularly in long-distance RC operations scenarios.
UPGRADED ROBUST ANTENNA HANDLE & EXTERNAL LORA ANTENNA CONNECTORS
The newly upgraded antenna handle incorporates the good capability of impact resistance facing the tough
conditions of outdoor fields. The reinforced and thickened antenna casing is better suited for comfort gripping but
also does not compromise the antenna's performance. On the contrary, the redesigned antenna can transmit
signal data more effectively, providing pilots with a more reliable flying control experience.
The X18R/RS is also equipped with 2 external antenna connectors, which can be mounted with additional 2.4G
and 900M antennas for enhancing the RF capabilities working under the LoRa modes, to achieve enhanced
long-range control.
UPGRADED DISPLAY (X18R/RS) AND COMPONENTS & 45°/60° TRAVEL ADJUSTABLE MC18 GIMBALS
(X18RS)
Both X18R/RS use the upgraded 800×480 resolution screen with great visibility under sunlight. The primary of
X18RS components, including trim caps and knobs, are all made from metal, offering rugged quality and
enhanced durability for outdoor use. The MC18 Gimbals are also CNC metal mechanized and can be adjusted to
a 45° travel position from the original 60° setup out of the box.
