Product Usage Instructions

  1. Recommended ELRS LUA Settings:
  • 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

  • EXT-V (External Voltage Input) Telemetry
    Reading:
    • The maximum input voltage for the EXT-V telemetry reading is
      35V. Do not exceed 35V or the receiver will be damaged.
    • The EXT-V of the ER8 is accessed via the EXT-V 2pin JST-GH
      connector. The RED wire must be soldered to the positive of the
      battery or ESC.
    • If no EXT-V power source is found, the ER8 will default to
      reading the voltage on the receiver pins. Only one voltage input
      can be used at any given time.

  • ESC BEC Power Supply:
    • 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.

  • Calibration of Telemetry Voltage:
    • 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.

  • ExpressLRS Arming Requirements and 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.
    • Visit https://www.expresslrs.org/ to learn more on the
      importance of setting up arming.

    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.

    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.

    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.
