Every time it's used, current
consumption is added to SBS-01C.

SBS-01C does not reset even if a
connection is removed or it is turned
off.

The consumption capacity returns
to 0. When you'd like to know the

consumption capacity of 1 ight, please
reset before a ight.

*Power supply off isn't done for 5

seconds after a reset. Because data
isn't preserved.

Instruction Manual

Thank you for purchasing Futaba's

SBS-01C Current Sensor. Please

read this manual thoroughly to

ensure proper current sensor

performance. We also encourage

you to retain the manual for future
reference.

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
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
ammable 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 careful the battery Lost.

■ 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
anything other than R/C models.

Never connect current cable
during ＋－ of a battery.

■ There is danger of ignition and fire.

Voltage cable

①

Measure the cable and then cut it to the desired length.

②

Cut approximately 30mm of the black

(－)

line from the cable.

Solder the fuse inline on the black

(－)

wire and then reattach the section of wire
that was previously removed. The fuse should be attached as close to the
external power supply as possible.

③

Place a piece of heat shrink tubing over the fuse, ensuring that it covers the

soldered areas. Shrink the tubing snug to the fuse and the wire using a heat gun.

④

The cable should be connected as shown in the diagram below.

⑤

The manual for the Telemetry system should be referred to after the setup is
complete. Check to make sure it functions as desired and that it provides the
correct data on the display.

The fuse should be attached as close to the
external power supply as possible.
