Introduction
The Spektrum AR630 AS3X Telemetry Receiver is a DSM2 and DSMX capable receiver. Its compact footprint is designed to fit in a wide range of aircraft models including park flyers and larger sport models. The AR630 is a full range 6-channel receiver with built in AS3X and SAFE stabilization, which counters the effects of wind, turbulence and torque using 3-axis MEMS gyro and exclusive flight control software tuned by expert RC pilots. There is no delay in control response or limits on control throws. You'll simply feel like you're flying an expertly tuned model that does exactly what you want.
Features
- Antenna-less designed for easy installation, and increase performance
- Built in AS3X Stabilization System with SAFE flight envelope protection
- AS3X and SAFE set up through forward programming directly from your Spektrum transmitter
- Ready to use with Spektrum Smart ESC for one-wire telemetry data without the need of modules, links and wires
- Streamlined, end-pin design in a lightweight hard-case
- Bind button allows for easy binding and eliminates the need for bind plug
- DSMX protocol receiver with DSM2 backwards compatibility
- Fly-by range telemetry support
- Standard servo connectors
*Please note – Using this receiver in turbine powered aircraft models is not recommended
Overview
The AR630 features fly-by range telemetry and a bind button that makes it easy to bind with no plugs necessary and offers both SmartSafe technology and Hold Last as well as preset failsafe types set through forward programming. The AR630 also features Smart Telemetry support.
With Smart Technology the normal servo connector delivers the throttle signal to the ESC, plus the ESC can send telemetry data like voltage and current back to the receiver. The AR630 receiver throttle port (Channel 1 port only) will automatically detect when a Smart compatible ESC is connected. ESCs with Smart and IC series connectors can also pass along battery data from compatible Spektrum Smart batteries. Spektrum Avian™ ESCs are compatible with the AR630 receiver for Smart Technology features.
For Smart to function you must have a Smart ESC paired with a Smart telemetry receiver, and a Spektrum DSMX transmitter with telemetry. An update for your transmitter may be required for Smart features. See www.spektrumrc. com to register and update your transmitter. If a standard ESC or servo is plugged into the throttle port on the AR630 receiver, the throttle port will operate normally (PWM signal) like any conventional RC system.
Please Note: These transmitters do not support Forward Programming devices: DX6i, DX6G2 (EU Version), DX7, DX7S, DX7SE, DX7G2 (EU Version), DX8, Non-computer transmitters
AR630 Setup Series
AS3X Technology
Exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® technology enhances flight stability by countering the effects of wind, turbulence, and other outside forces to help your aircraft fly smoothly and with precision. You'll feel like you're piloting an expertly tuned model that performs exactly as you want.
SAFE® Technology
SAFE® (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology flight modes help pilots avoid over-controlling their models. SAFE uses AS3X to deliver normal flight performance, but with limited bank and pitch angles to prevent the aircraft from getting in extreme attitudes.
Antenna-less
The AR630 features an internal antenna design that offers superior full-range performance. In addition, installation is easier than ever, plus there's no longer a risk of failure due to long-term wire exposure or abuse.
Forward Programming
You can configure the AR630 receiver wirelessly, directly from any compatible Spektrum™ transmitter, through the Forward Programming menu. No separate computer or mobile device is needed for setup and adjustments.
SMART TELEMETRY
To enjoy the full benefits of Smart™ technology, use the AR630 receiver with a Smart ESC and telemetry capable Spektrum DSMX® transmitter. The AR630 features fly-by telemetry and will provide vital telemetry data such as current, voltage, temperature and RPM is sent directly to your transmitter. The AR630 is not compatible with Spektrum telemetry sensors. For more information on Smart Technology please visit our Spektrum Smart Technology page.

Hi Team,
Hope you are keep well at this time?
Please can you confirm if this receiver is a simple plug and play model?
And not have to set an aircraft up and configure it in any way please
Many Thanks
Dane
Asked by Dane Waters on 22nd September 2020
Sure, if you don't want to use the extra features you don't have to. You can just bind and away you go.

Hi Guys,
Is this receiver compatible with my JR DSX11 Transmitter?
Cheers.
Steve S.
Asked by Steve on 19th October 2020
We don't sell JR so I can't confirm - but a quick google shows it is the older DSM2, these are DSMX so it won't work
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
I notice in one of your videos, you show the list of TX's not compatible with the AR630, however, I have the DX6E TX which does not have a gain rotation knob, is it really necessary, or are the presets in the 630 RX adequate to make up for it. Will the scroll wheel enable gain adjustment?
Ken Alderslade
Asked by Kenneth Alderslade on 9th January 2021
The use of a rotary know is to adjust the gain on AS3X whilst in flight, so on the DX6e you could use say switch B 3 positions to give you different gain settings if you require in flight. Otherwise adjust the gain after some prefights in the forward programing function on the tx until you get them how you would like them

I have a DX9i Black, I assume this RX will work ?
Asked by Nigel on 24th January 2021
Yes if your radio has DSMX logo
Answered by: Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Hi do i need to have a Avian esc to go with the Spektrum AR630 receiver so i can use forward programing thanks.
Asked by Sidney Cadle on 13th November 2021
No if it's just the RX unit that needs programming, then the handset will do this direct to the RX unit.

Hi there,
I am looking for a receiver with stabilisation to use in a new model I am building.
I have a Spektrum DX6i transmitter. Do you know if these receivers will work, with stabilisation, on this transmiter?
Thanks,
Warren.
Asked by Warren England on 14th July 2022
Do you know the modulation of your DX6i
If its DSMX this receiver will work for you. if its the older DSM2 it will not work.
Answered by: Si @ Wheelspin Models
Hi will this work with the FMS t-28 pnp model. I have a DX6i som dmsx ready. Thanks
Kian w
Asked by Kian on 12th December 2023
Yes that will work fine.
Answered by: Steve @ Wheelspin Models
Hi
If I bind this rx to a DX6i TX. will the safe function automatically appear on the 5th channel toggle switch of the TX. Like when I bind a umx to my RX. I tak3 it the position is critical for the gyro to work properly? if so, how is this positioned in the plane? Thanks kian w
Asked by Kian on 24th December 2023
Yes that should just all work but may require certain programming or switch positions changing.
Answered by: Steve @ Wheelspin Models
Hi
If I fit this to the fms t-28 trojan 800mm. Will I need to programme it to this particular plane? Or will the safe mode just auto limit control surface movements? thanks kian
Asked by Kian on 25th December 2023
It will set up automatically but may require so setting changes.
Answered by: Steve @ Wheelspin Models
Hi do I need to forward program this to the fms trojan 800mm. Or will it give safe automatically. Also does the DX6i have the ability to forward program the safe parameters to this as3 x receiver? Thanks kian
Asked by Kian on 26th December 2023
It will set up automatically but may require so setting changes. and yes the dx6i can program the as3x so you should not have problems.
