FUTABA T18MZ Software Update Changes page 8

① Insert a two-way cord, such as a dual servo extension (FUTM4135),
into the S.BUS setting connection in the rear of the T18MZ. Connect a
battery to one port of the two-way cord and then insert the sensor to be
registered into the other.
② Open the sensor unit setting screen by touching the [Sensor] button in
the Linkage Menu.
③ Touch the 1/2 to enter the second page of the sensor screen. Then,
touch the [Register] button.
④ If registration is successful, the following screen will appear. Close the
message by touching the [Close] button.
⑤ If registration failed, the following message is displayed:
[There are not enough available slots]
Some sensors require multiple continuos slots for their operation. For
example, slots 3-6. If continuous slots are not available, these sensors will
not be registered accordingly.
If there are unused slots, but they are not continous, please use the sensor
unit reallocation feature, which follows, to change the slots of the existing
sensors to accommodate the sensors which require continuous slots.
-Altimeter: 3 slots required
-GPS: 8 slots required
[The connected sensor is not ready]
No response from sensor unit. Check the connections.
Sensor unit reallocation
used.
This function is used to reallocate slots to ensure that all sensors are
registered and operate as desired.
As noted above, some sensors require adjoining, or continuous, slots in
order to register properly. Examples of such sensors include but are not
limited to, altimeters and GPS units.
【Setting method】
① To properly reallocate the slots, it is necessary to connect all registered
units to the S.BUS connection in the rear of the transmitter. Additionally,
it is necessary to connect a battery to these sensor units via a two-way
cord such as the dual aileron extension mentioned above.
② Open the sensor unit setting screen by touching the [Sensor] button in
the Linkage Menu.
③ Touch the 1/2 to enter the second page of the setting screen. Then,
touch the [Relocate] button.
④ If reallocation was successful, a screen like the following will appear:
■ If all the registered sensors are not connected, the following message is
displayed and reallocation is not performed. Set slots allocated to unused
sensors to [Inhibit] on the sensor unit setting screen.

Sensor unit setting reread
This function rereads the slot number setting of the connected sensor
units. This is a convenient way to allow another T18MZ user to pilot your
aircraft.
【Setting method】
① Connect all registered units to the S.BUS connection in the rear of the
transmitter. Additionally, it is necessary to connect a battery to these
sensor units via a two-way cord such as the dual aileron extension
mentioned above.
② Open the sensor unit setting screen by touching the [Sensor] button in
the Linkage Menu.
③ Touch the 1/2 to enter the second page of the setting screen. Then,
touch the [Reread] button.
④ If reread was successful, a screen like the following is displayed:
Sensor name function
As the name suggests, this feature allows you to rename the sensors
accordingly. This is very useful when a model has multiple sensors of the
same variety (e.g., temperature).
【Setting method】
① Touch the [Sensor Name] button in the Linkage Menu to open the
setting screen. A list of sensor units is displayed.
■ Please note, only sensor units assigned a slot are displayed.
② Select the type of sensor unit for which the name is to be changed. A
name change screen appears. When multiple sensor units of the same
type are registered, the [Slot] button is displayed. Select the slot to
which the sensor unit whose name is to be changed.
③ Touch the [Rename] button. A character input screen appears. Input
the new name. (Up to 16 characters)
④ If so desired, the sensor name can be returned to the default by pressing
the [Reset] button.
