Abstract We have started the search program of the mysterious and rare fast radio bursts (FRB) with the RATAN-600 radio telescope. We have prepared the special antenna - the Western Sector and the secondary mirror (SM5) named by Type-5. The measured effective area of the antenna will be near 1100 meter in square. The three from four new high sensitivity receivers at 4.7 GHz have been already established in the focal plane of SM5. The total frequency band of 600 MHz of each receiver was divided by the microwave filters on four sub-bands of 150 MHz and signals of 12 (16) channels of back-end are recorded with the maximal temporal resolution 0.49 ms. We develop online routine on the powerful PC, analyzing the coming signals in order to find the fast bursts, shifted in time due to the interstellar (or intergalactic) dispersion (DM ∼ 100-1000 pc/cm3) in dependence on the sub- band frequencies. Alerts of the such distant (out of the Solar system) events with expected fluences ∼1-30 Jy ms and error box of coordinates will be sent to the robotic optical wide-angular small telescopes array constructed in SAO RAS. The relatively big field of view of the four-beam system in the 24-hours survey allows us to detect up to 10 FRB per year. In June 2017 we have carried out the pilot observations of the bright and close pulsar PSR B0329+54 at 2.3 and 4.7 GHz with the wide-bands (120 and 600 MHz, respectively). We have detected the 10-30 pulses with the known spin period P=0.71452s getting in the antenna beams, recorded with time interval 0.49ms. The width of the average pulse is equal to W50=10 ms at 4.7 GHz. Such measurements are well test for the FRB search. We have started of the survey in September 2017.
