Instruction Manual for FrSky ARCHER GR8 Receiver Version 1.0
Introduction
The Archer R10 Pro has 10 high-precision PWM channel outputs and features excellent Anti-interference performance when it comes to spark-ignition on internal combustion models. It supports full-range signal strength with dual detachable antennas that assure optimal antenna reception and maximum range. In addition to all this, the R10 PRO can also be used as a redundancy receiver along with any other FrSky ACCESS capable receiver equipped with a SBUS port. This 10-channel receivers’ noticeable features are its Anti-vibration performance and dual-battery ports for redundancy.
All of the Archer receivers are hyper-matched with the ACCESS protocol. They not only feature wireless firmware upgrades, increased range, and telemetry performance, the R10 PRO now supports more functions like configurable telemetry power, S.Port/F.Port switching and FLR output. Additional valuable features are under development to unlock the true potential of the ACCESS protocol.
Overview
Warning: Do not plug the additional power supply in other port (Channel, S.Port, SBUS, etc.) while using dual battery to power the receiver.

Registration & Automatic binding (Smart Match )
With the FrSky ACCESS protocol, the transmitter/transmitter module can bind receiver without using the “REG” button.
Follow the step below to finish the Registration & binding procedure:
- Put the transmitter/transmitter module into [Reg] status.1.1 For Taranis X-Lite Pro as an example, turn on the transmitter, go to the MENU-MODEL SETUP-PAGE 2, choose Internal or External RF, and select [Reg].
- Connect the battery to the receiver while holding the F/S button on the receiver. The RED LED and GREEN LED on the receiver will be on, indicating into the [Reg] status. Select [ENTER] on the transmitter, The RED LED and GREEN LED on the receiver will flash, and the transmitter displays [Registration ok].
- Turn off the receiver.
- Move the cursor to select the receiver 1 [Bind].
- Connect the battery to the receiver, the GREEN LED will flash, indicating into the [Bind] status. Select the RX, the GREEN will keep lit, and the transmitter displays [Bind successful].
- The transmitter exit [Bind], GREEN LED will keep lit, RED LED will be off, indicating Working normally.
How to Switch FS (20ms) mode/HS (7ms) mode
a) The factory default setting is FS mode.
b) To go to the receiver [Options], select the 7 ms PWM or not.
Note: The SBUS output is 7ms, no matter HS/FS mode.
Warning: HS mode is only applied for digital servos. Other servos should select FS mode, otherwise servos will get hot and may burn out.
Warning: [Options ] setting in flight will cause the failsafe.
About OTA function
— For Taranis X-Lite Pro as an example, go to the SD CARD 2/7, and select the FW, press the enter button, select [Flash receiver OTA], power on the receiver, select the RX, go to the [ENTER], complete the flash process, the transmitter will display [Flash successful]. Re-power the receiver and wait for 3 seconds, the Green LED starts flashing indicates the receiver works properly at the momemnt.
Note: Please do not do the binding operation in the near range while the firmware upgrading in progress.
Note: Update the firmware after the receiver gets bound.
