Operating Modes Explained
Mode 1 — Dual Relay Switching Mode (DIP Switch: OFF/Default)
Ideal for controlling motor forward and reverse rotation:
- Forward throttle (signal >1750µs): Relay 1 ON, Relay 2 OFF → Motor forward
- Reverse throttle (signal <1250µs): Relay 2 ON, Relay 1 OFF → Motor reverse
- Center position (1400µs – 1600µs): Both relays OFF → Motor brake
Mode 2 — Synchronous Working Mode (DIP Switch: ON)
Both relays activate and deactivate together:
- Signal >1750µs: Relay 1 ON, Relay 2 ON
- Signal <1600µs: Relay 1 OFF, Relay 2 OFF

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of RC receiver is compatible with this RC PWM relay module?
A: This module is designed to work with any standard PWM output RC receiver. As long as your receiver outputs standard PWM signals (typically 1000µs–2000µs pulse width), it will be fully compatible with this 8-channel relay switch module.
Q: Can I use this relay module to control motor forward and reverse direction?
A: Yes! In Dual Relay Switching Mode (DIP switch set to OFF/Default), the module is specifically designed for motor direction control. Relay 1 activates for forward motion, Relay 2 activates for reverse, and both disengage at center stick for a motor brake effect — making it ideal for RC car and boat motor control.
Q: What is the maximum load this relay module can handle?
A: Each relay output is rated at 250VAC / 10A × 2, giving you ample capacity for most RC-scale motors, lighting systems, and accessory loads. Always ensure your total load stays within the rated limits for safe, reliable operation.
Q: How do I switch between the two operating modes?
A: Switching modes is simple — just adjust the onboard DIP switch. Set it to OFF for Dual Relay Switching Mode (motor forward/reverse control) or ON for Synchronous Working Mode (both relays activate/deactivate together). No soldering or programming required.
Q: Is there protection against accidental reverse wiring of the receiver connection?
A: Yes, this module includes built-in reverse connection protection on the receiver input, helping to safeguard your module and connected electronics in the event of an accidental miswiring.
