To S.BUS2 port of
telemetry receiver
Reset
Every time it's used, current
21mm (0.83in.)
consumption is added to SBS-01C.
SBS-01C does not reset even if a
connection is removed or it is turned
off.
Press the reset switch
The consumption capacity returns
to 0. When you'd like to know the
consumption capacity of 1 flight, please
reset before a flight.
*Power supply off isn't done for 5
seconds after a reset. Because data
isn't preserved.

WARNING
To utilize the SBS-01C, connect it
to the S.BUS2 port of the Futaba
telemetry enabled receivers.

■ The SBS-01C will not function properly if
connected to an S.BUS port or other channel
ports.
Ensure that the unit is mounted in
an area that will eliminate
exposure to fuel, water and vibration.
■ As with any electronic components, proper
precautions are urged to prolong the life and
increase the performance of the SBS-01C.
Allow a slight amount of slack in
the SBS-01C cables and fasten
700mm (27.6 in.)
them at a suitable location to prevent
any damage from vibration.
Connect the connector polarity
properly.
■ If connected in reverse, explosions or fire
could occur.
Insert the connector securely.
■ If the connector works loose during
model operation, control will be lost and
cause the potential for extreme danger.

The SBS-01C should be mounted
away from magnetic bodies.
■ If close to a magnetic body, the DC current
may not be measured correctly.
Do not install the SBS-01C in a
flammable location.
■ There is danger of ignition and fire.
To ensure that the SBS-01C is
functioning as desired, please test
accordingly.
■ Do not use until inspection is complete.
Be c a r e f u l t h e b a t t e r y L o s t .
■ The consumption capacity is indicated.
(It isn't the present battery capacity.)
Don't apply current higher than
rated current to SBS-01C.
■ SBS-01C may break down and fall.
Do not use the SBS-01C with
Battery
anything other than R/C models.
