Attention
These Long Range Systems are capable to use radio frequency transmissions and output power that may
be not allowed in your country.
Please always check your local RF legislation to set the frequency and output power according with
the regulation.
A general rule for RC aircrafts is that they must be controlled always under sight of view, check your RC
regulation to keep up to date with regulations.
Drone Racing Environment
Crossfire Firmware V3.21 and above incorporates Racing Spec Firmware designed for race directors to
effectively manage power output on CROSSFIRE for drone racing.
When using TBS CROSSFIRE control link, it is a requirement that all pilots use exactly the same power
output. Use of CROSSFIRE has the same requirement as management of video transmission power output
when it comes to racing.
Recommended power output is generally 100mW, however in some countries the maximum will be 25mW.
Please check your countries regulations. The New LED Color System on the TBS CROSSFIRE allows Race
Directors to see the power output at a glance.
Note: Use of different power outputs during racing can cause control lockouts for pilots.
Crossfire LED Color Coding
LED on the back of TBS Crossfire Module will Illuminate in either blue or purple which will indicate the
power output being used. If LED on the back of module is any colour other than blue or purple, this
indicates pilot is not using Racing Spec Firmware or they are using higher power output than other
competitors.
Turquoise LED = 25mW
Blue LED = 100mW
Green = Above 100wW
Color enables Race Directors to easily identify if there are any power output inconsistencies.
Note: Dynamic power must be turned OFF and telemetry should be ON or OFF depending on Race Director
decision.

Setup
Getting set up and ready to fly is a quick and simple task. In most cases plug&play when using common
R/C equipment.
Connecting CROSSFIRE Standard Transmitter to radio
Using JR-adapter
The kit comes with a JR-adapter which simply works as a connection bridge between the JR-pins on the
radio and the TBS CROSSFIRE transmitter. The adapter simply fits into the slot on the back of the radio. The
radio battery power to the TBS CROSSFIRE and no additional power is necessary for RF output up to
500mW. As of firmware V2.40, ability to unlock 2W RF power when powered from RC- or HT-port (at own
risk).
Insert the JR-adapter into the slot on the back of the radio, remove the adhesive sheet from the TBS
CROSSFIRE back and align the four studs with the matching holes on the transmitter. Connect the 3-pin to
the left port (RC) and 6-pin cable (expansion) to the right port on the transmitter.
9
Power on the radio, configure a new model profile and enable the external RF module - see the radio
manufacturers manual for further details on how to complete this step.
Using Hitec/Graupner/JR-cable
If you own a Hitec, Graupner or JR radio (does not work for Spektrum radios) without a JR-module slot, you
can still use the trainer output connector to get the necessary power and PPM control signals to the TBS
CROSSFIRE transmitter. Note that this will not provide CRSF-data, see the following section.
Connect the included cable to the radio trainer port and the other end to the left port (RC) on the
transmitter.
