  • Page 1 Thank you for purchasing this RoyalWay-tech product. Please conform to the manual strictly to set up the Rlink to your aircraft. Rlink is a highly expandable system, our engineers will keep improving and extending new functions, you can download the latest manual and firmware from our official site: www.royalway-tech.com...
  • Page 2 Features:  The first UHF solution support 16-chan perfectly, proven with Taranis X9D and Jeti DC16.  Based on the latest RF solution, super high sensitivity as -115dBm.  Proven robust super fast frequency hopping algorithm, combined with Unique ID for every module(RAFHSS), ensure the excellent interference-immunity capacity.
  • Page 3: Assembly & Connection

    Assembly & Connection: The Rlink can be set up to any radio with trainer port in the market (or with PPM signal output pin), the internal circuit can adjust all types of PPM signals(low and high, positive or negative etc) to the standard 3V3 PPM signal.
  • Page 4 When the rx is connected with too many servos or the servos are too big and draw too much current, you need to use a separated UBEC to power the Rlink...
  • Page 5: Range Check

    Failsafe setting: Rlink support failsafe setting in all channels, and the setting is done on the Tx side, so you no need to stretch out your Rx from deep inside of your aircraft, also you can set the failsafe during the flight by simply press the Bind/FS button for 1 second.
  • Page 6 Configurations for Tx & Rx modules: The Rlink Tx and Rx module can be easily configured for different applications, you don’t need to install any software extra or any flash tool, what you need is only a MicroUSB cable(which is used normally with your smart phone) to connect to your computer, smart phone or pad with OTG function(no matter what OS, just if it can support U disk).
  • Page 7 Rlink Tx module will be invalid in this situation, when it set to be 0, default to be disabled. Channel maximum number: The maximum channel number you want to transmit, range: 2-16 which means 2-16 channels.The more channel you use, the more data you need to transmit, and the lower sensitivity for the...
  • Page 8 And lots of controller(Naza, WKM, YS-X4, X6) may support PPM single cable input, but mostly, they only support futaba sequence,With the Rlink system, you can define all the radios to the same output sequence, for example, I want to change the JR radio to the Futaba radio sequence, we can set as below: Since most of the controllers for multi-rotor or fix-wing already support PPM input, so if you are using the Taranis radios, you can set as below to get a total 16 channels in one Rx.
  • Page 9: Firmware Update

    For example, when you need a 14-chan receiver, you can bind them to a 14-chan Tx and set the 2 Rxs as below: Firmware update: Rlink is equipped with 32-bit high speed MCU and can-bus with infinitely extension capacity , we will keep improving and extending more functions through releasing new firmwares.
  • Page 10 Press the button of the RX module, connect the Rx module to computer with the MicroUSB cable, the RX will be identified as a U disk named bootloader, copy the new firmware(.bin) file to this vacant U disk, when done, remove the USB cable and cycle the power of the RX to complete the update. Appendix:The definitions of common radios in the market Normally we can get PPM signal from trainer port, but some old radios with removable RF module can output PPM signal from the RF pins also.
  • Page 11 We have shielded cables custom for common radios in the market: Plug and play cable for Futaba radios with square trainer port: Plug and play cable for Turnigy/Imax/Flysky 9x2, 9XR, frsky Taranis, JR 3801, 9x2 and similar:...
  • Page 13 Plug and play cable for JR/Spektrum or other radios with DSC trainer port:(Put the power switch of your radio in off mode, once plug the DSC cable, your radio will be power on automatically.) (You need to offer power extra through the red(+) and black(-)wires) http://www.mftech.de/buchsen_en.htm You can get definitions of the trainer port for more radios here:...
