S.BUS Servo
S.BUS/S.BUS2 servo setting
An S.BUS/S.BUS2 servo can memorize the channel and various settings itself. Servo setting can be performed on the T18SZ screen by wiring the servo as shown in the figure.
●Servo ID number
Individual ID numbers are memorized for your S.BUS servos in your T18SZ. When a servo is used (as shown at the right), the servo ID number is automatically read by the transmitter.
If you use multiple S.BUS servos and do not want to change the settings on all that are mounted in a fuselage, only the desired servo in the group
can be set by entering the ID of that specic servo.

S.BUS Servo Description of function of each parameter
*There are a function which can be used according to the kind of servo, and an impossible function.
• ID
Displays the ID of the servo whose parameters are to be read. It cannot be changed.
• Channel
Channel of the
• Reverse
The direction in which the servo rotates can be changed.
• Servo type
When “Retractable” is selected and the servo has been continuously stopped for 30 seconds, the dead band expands and unnecessary hold current due to external force is eliminated. When a new control signal enters, normal operation is resumed. When using the servo as a landing gear servo, select “Retractable”. Also adjust the servo travel to match the landing gear movement range.
• Soft Start
Restricts operation in the specified direction the instant the power is turned on. By using this setting, the first initial movement when the power is turned on slowly moves the servo to the specified position.
• Stop Mode
The state of the servo when the servo input signal is lost can be specified. The "Hold" mode setting holds the servo in its last commanded position even if using AM or FM system.
• Smoother
This function changes smoothness of the servo operation relative to stick movement changes. Smooth setting is used for normal flight. Select the "OFF" mode when quick operation is necessary such as 3D.
• Neutral Offset
The neutral position can be changed. When the neutral offset is large value, the servo's range of travel is restricted on one side.
• Speed Control
Speeds can be matched by specifying the operating speed. The speed of multiple servos can be matched without being affected by motor fluctuations. This is effective for load torques below the maximum torque.
However, note that the maximum speed will not be exceed what the servo is capable of even if the servos operating voltage is increased.
• Dead band
The dead band angle at stopping can be specified.
[Relationship between dead band set value and servo operation]
Small → Dead band angle is small and the servo is immediately operated by a small signal change.
Large → Dead band angle is large and the servo does not operate at small signal changes.
(Note) If the dead band angle is too small, the servo will operate continuously and the current consumption will increase and the life of the servo will be shortened.
• Travel Adjust
The left and right travels centered about the neutral position can be set independently.
• Boost
The minimum current applied to the internal motor when starting the servo can be set. Since a small travel does not start the motor, it essentially feels like the dead band was expanded. The motor can be immediately started by adjusting the minimum current which can start the motor.
[Relationship between boost set value and servo operation]
Small → Motor reacts to a minute current and operation becomes smooth.
Large → Initial response improves and output torque increases. However, if the torque is too large,

operation will become rough.
<Functions of System Menu>

• Boost ON/OFF
OFF : It is the boost ON at the time of low-speed operation.(In the case of usual)
ON : It is always the boost ON.(When quick operation is hope)
• Damper
The characteristic when the servo is stopped can be set.
When smaller than the standard value, the characteristic becomes an overshoot characteristic. If the value is larger than the standard value, the brake is applied before the stop position.
Especially, when a large load is applied, overshoot, etc. are suppressed by inertia and hunting may occur, depending on the conditions. If hunting (phenomena which cause the servo to oscillate) occurs even though the Dead Band, Stretcher, Boost and other parameters are suitable, adjust this parameter to a value larger than the initial value.
[Relationship between damper set value and servo operation]
Small → When you want to overshoot. Set so that hunting does not occur.
Large → When you want to operate so that braking is not applied. However, it will feel like the servo
(Note) If used in the hunting state, not only will the current consumption increase, but the life of the servo will also be shortened.
response has worsened.
• Stretcher
The servo hold characteristic can be set. The torque which attempts to return the servo to the target position when the current servo position has deviated from the target position can be adjusted.
This is used when stopping hunting, etc., but the holding characteristic changes as shown below.
[Relationship between stretcher and servo operation]
Small → Servo holding force becomes weaker.
Large → Servo holding force becomes stronger.
(Note) When this parameter is large, the current consumption increases.
• Buzzer
When the power supply of a servo is previously turned on at the time of a power supply injection without taking transmit of a transmitter, the buzzer sound of about 2.5 Hz continues sounding from a servo.
(Even when the transmit of a transmitter is taken out previously, a buzzer becomes until the signal of a servo is outputted normally, but it is not unusual.)
The transmitter has been turned OFF ahead of a servo power supply→ The buzzer sound of about 1.25 Hz continues sounding as servo power supply end failure alarm.
(
Do not insert or remove the servo connector while the receiver power is ON. A buzzer may
sound by incorrect recognition.
Buzzer sound is generated by vibrating the motor of a servo.
Since current is consumed and a servo generates heat, please do not operate the number more than needed or do not continue sounding a buzzer for a long time.

MODEL BASIC SETTING PROCEDURE
Airplane/glider basic setting procedure
1. Model addition and call
Initial setting assigns 1 model to the T18SZ transmitter. The Model Select function of the Linkage Menu is used to add models and to select models which are already set.
The data for up to 30 models can be saved to the transmitter. Data can also be saved to the optional SD card.
The currently selected model name is displayed at the top of the screen. Before flying and before changing any settings, always confirm the model name.
When a new model is added, the Model type select screen and System/Receiver ID setup screen automatically appear. Please be aware that the transmitter will stop transmitting when you change the model.
3. Fuselage linkage
Connect the ailerons, elevators, throttle, rudder, etc. in accordance with the model's instruction manual. For a description of the connection method, see the Receiver and Servos Connection.
Note: The channel assignment of the T18SZ is different from that of our existing systems. Note that even for the same "airplane model", when the wing type and tail type are different, the channel assignment may be different. (The channel assigned to each function can be checked at the Function menu of the Linkage Menu.)
● If the direction of the servo is incorrect, adjust
the direction with the Reverse function of the
Linkage Menu.
2. Model type selection
Select the model type matched to the aircraft with the Model Type select function of the Linkage Menu. For an airplane, select the model type from among the 2 types: airplane and glider. After the wing type is selected the tail type select screen is displayed. Select the tail type matched to the aircraft.
There are 13 wing types and 3 tail types for airplane and glider.
● Adjust the neutral position and control surface
angle with the linkage, and fine tune them with the Sub Trim and End Point functions
(angle adjustment). To protect the linkage, a
limit position can also be set with the End Point
function. The End Point function can adjust the
amount of up/down and left/right movement, limit, and servo speed of each channel.
4. Throttle cut setting
Throttle cut can be performed with one touch by a
switch without changing the throttle trim position.
Set throttle cut with the Throttle Cut function of the Linkage Menu. After activating the throttle cut function and selecting the switch, adjust the throttle position so that the carburetor becomes fully closed. For safety, the

6. AFR (D/R)
AFR function is used to adjust the throw and operation curve of the stick, lever, and switch functions for each flight condition. This is normally used after End Point
has dened the maximum throw directions.
8. Addition of ight conditions
The Condition Select function automatically allocates the Condition 1 (CONDIT1) for each model. Condition 1 is the default condition and is the only one active when a
new model type is dened.
If you want to add ight conditions, please refer to a
description of the COND. SELECT function.
*The Condition 1 is always on, and remains on until other
conditions are activated by switches.
*When a new condition is added, the model data of the
Condition 1 is automatically copied to the new condition.
*You can set the model data of new condition in the switch
ON state. However, if the group mode (GROUP) was selected in advance, the same data will be input at all the conditions. Select the single mode (SINGLE) and adjust only the condition you want to change. For Group/Single mode switching, refer to the description at the back of this manual.
*The Condition Delay can be programmed for each channel.
The Condition Delay is used to change the servo throw smoothly when switching conditions.

Helicopter basic setting procedure
This section outlines examples of use of the helicopter functions of the T18SZ. Adjust the actual values, etc. to
match the fuselage used.
1. Model addition and call
Default setting assigns 1 model to the T18SZ. To add new models or to call a model already set, use the Model Select function of the Linkage Menu.
This is convenient when calling a model after registering the model names in advance. (The data of up to 30 models can be saved at the transmitter. Data can also be saved to the optional SD card.)
The currently called model is displayed at the top of the screen. Before flying and before changing
any settings, always conrm the model name.
When a new model is added, the Model Type Select screen and Frequency/Modulation mode/ Receiver ID setup screen automatically appear. Change, or check that they match the type, frequency, and receiver type of the model used.
2. Model type and swash type selection
If a different model type is already selected, select helicopter with the Model Type function of the Linkage Menu, and then select the swash type matched to the helicopter.
*The Model Type function automatically selects the
appropriate output channels, control functions, and mixing
functions for the chosen model type. Eight swash types are available for helicopters.
*For a description of the swash type selection, refer to the
MODEL TYPE function.
3. Flight condition addition
The transmitter can install up to eight ight conditions
per model.
The Condition Select function automatically allocates
ve conditions for helicopter.
(Initial setting)
● NORMAL
● IDLE UP1 (SW-E)
● IDLE UP2 (SW-E)
● IDLE UP3 (SW-F)
●HOLD (SW-G)
Note: Since you may accidentally activate the conditions that has not been setup during flight and this could cause a crash, delete the conditions not used.
*For a description of the condition deletion, refer to the
COND. SELECT function.
The NORMAL condition is always on, and remains on
until other conditions are activated by switches.
The priority is throttle hold/idle up 2/idle up 1/normal.
Throttle hold has the highest priority.
Add other conditions, as required.
The Condition Delay can be programmed for each channel. The Condition Delay is used to change the servo throw smoothly when switching conditions.
(General ight condition setting example)
● Normal: (Use initial setting conditions/operate

is different from that of our existing systems.
(The channel assigned to each function can
be checked at the Function menu of the
Linkage Menu.)
● If the direction of operation of the servo
is incorrect, use the Reverse function of
the Linkage Menu. Also use the swash AFR
function in other than the H-1 mode.
● Adjust the direction of operation of the gyro.
(Gyro side function)
● Connect the throttle linkage so that the
carburetor can fully close at full trim throttle
cut.
● Adjust the neutral position at the linkage side
and ne tune with the Sub-Trim function and
End Point function (rudder angle adjustment).
To protect the linkage, a limit position can
also be set with the End Point function.
● Swash plate correction (Except H-1 mode)
*If any interactions are noticed, for a description of the
linkage correction function, please refer to the SWASH function.
5. Throttle/Pitch curve setting
This function adjusts the throttle or pitch operation curve in relation to the movement of the throttle stick for each condition.
<Throttle curve setting example>
Call the throttle curve of each condition with the condition select switch.
●Normal curve adjustment
Normal curve creates a basic throttle curve
centered near hovering. This curve is adjusted
together with the pitch curve (Normal) so that the engine speed is constant and up/down control is easiest.
●Idle up curve adjustment
The low side Throttle curve creates a curve
matched for aerobatics (loop, roll, 3D, etc.).
●Throttle hold curve adjustment
The curve is not used when performing auto rotation dives.
Conrm that the rate of the slowest position (0%) of the stick is 0% (initial setting).
<Example of pitch curve setting>
Call the pitch curve of each condition with the condition select switch.
●Pitch curve (Normal)
Make the pitch at hovering approximately +5º~6º.
Set the pitch at hovering with the stick position at
the 50% point as the standard.
*Stability at hovering may be connected to the throttle curve.
Adjustment is easy by using the hovering throttle function and hovering pitch function together.
●Pitch curve (Idle up 1)
The idle up 1 pitch curve function creates a curve
matched to airborne ight. Set to -7º~+12º as standard.
●Pitch curve (Idle up 2)
The high side pitch setting is less than idle up 1. The standard is +8º.
●Pitch curve (Hold)
At auto rotation, use the maximum pitch at both
the high and low sides. [Pitch angle setting example]
Throttle hold: -7º~+12
º
<Model Basic Setting Procedure>
54
6. AFR (D/R)
AFR (D/R) function is used to adjust the throw and operation curve of aileron, elevator and rudder for each condition.
*For throttle and pitch curve settings, refer to the above-
mentioned "Throttle/Pitch curve setting"
This is normally used after End Point has dened the maximum throw directions.
7. Gyro sensitivity and mode switching
The gyro sensitivity and mode switching function is
dedicated gyro mixing of the Model Menu, and can be
set for each condition.
●Normal condition (hovering): Gyro sensitivity
maximum
●Idle up 1/Idle up 2/Throttle hold: Gyro
sensitivity minimum
●However, at auto rotation of a tail-driven
helicopter, this function may not have any
effect at high gyro sensitivity.
do not use Pitch to RUD mixing.
Call the Pitch to RUD mixing function from the
Model Menu, and set the curve for each condition. (At initial setting, this function is in the "INH" state. To use it, set it to the "ON" state.)
<Setting example>
Call the mixing curve of each condition with the
condition select switch.
1. A curve setting example is shown below.
●Pitch to RUD mixing curve (Normal)
Use the hovering system and set this curve to
match take off and landing and vertical climb at a constant speed.
*For this curve, use the initial setting [EXP1] curve type.
●Pitch to RUD mixing (Idle up 1)
Use this curve in 540º stall turn, loop, and rolling stall turn, and adjust it so the fuselage is facing
straight ahead when heading into the wind.
*For this curve, [EXP1] curve type can be used and the entire
curve can be lowered with the [Offset] function.
●Pitch to RUD mixing (Hold)
This function is set so that the fuselage is facing straight ahead at straight line auto rotation. The
pitch of the tail rotor becomes nearly 0º.
*For this curve, [EXP1] curve type can be used and the entire
curve can be lowered with the [Offset] function.
●Other settings
The mixing rise characteristic at pitch operation
can be adjusted. An acceleration function which
temporarily increases and decreases the mixing amount can be set.
8. Pitch to RUD mixing setting
Note: When using a GY601, GY502, GY401,
or other heading hold gyro, this Pitch to RUD
mixing should not be used. The reaction
torque is corrected at the gyro side. When
operating the gyro in the AVCS mode, the
mixed signal will cause neutral deviation
symptoms and the gyro will not operate
normally.
Use this function when you want to suppress the torque generated by the changes in the pitch and speed of the main rotor during pitch operation. Adjust it so that the nose does not swing in the rudder direction. However, when using a heading hold gyro like those shown below,
9. Throttle hold setting
*If throttle hold is necessary, please refer to the THR HOLD
function.
10. Throttle cut setting
Throttle cut provides an easy way to stop the engine, by flipping a switch with the throttle stick at idle. The action is not functional at high throttle to avoid accidental dead sticks. The switch’s location and direction must be chosen, as it defaults to NULL.
<Model Basic Setting Procedure>
55
*With throttle stick at idle, adjust the cut position until the engine consistently shuts off, but throttle linkage is not binding.
11. Swash Mix corrects aileron, elevator and
pitch interaction
The swash mix function is used to correct the swash
plate in the aileron (Left/Right Cyclic) and elevator (Forward/Aft Cyclic) direction corresponding to each operation of each condition.
12. Throttle mixing setting
*If throttle mixing is necessary for a compensation for
slowing of engine speed caused by swash plate operation during aileron or elevator operation, please refer to the THROTTLE MIX function.
13. Other special mixings
●Pitch to Needle mixing
This mixing is used with engines with a construction
which allows needle control during ight (fuel-air mixture adjustment). A needle curve can be set.
The needle servo rise characteristics at throttle stick acceleration/deceleration operation can be
adjusted. (Acceleration function)
●Governor mixing
This mixing is dedicated governor mixing when a
governor is used. Up to 3 rates (speeds) can be
switched for each condition.

Servo connection by model type
The T18SZ transmitter channels are automatically assigned for optimal combination according to the type selected with the Model Type function of the Linkage Menu. The channel assignment (initial setting) for each model type is shown below. Connect the receiver and servos to match the type used.
*The set channels can be checked at the Function screen of the Linkage Menu. The channel assignments can also be changed.
For more information, read the description of the Function menu.

MODEL SELECT
The Model Selection function performs model addition, call, deletion, copy, and model name setting.
This function is used to load the settings of the
desired model into the T18SZ’s memory.
The settings may be selected from either the
transmitter’s built-in memory or a SD card (32MB­2GB). Remember that up to 30 model memories are available in the transmitter.
The name of the model stored in the transmitter
and the SD card may be changed. This can be very useful to tell different models settings apart. Each
model name can be as long as 15 characters, and the model name always appears in the display screen.
The Copy function is used to copy one set of model data into a second memory within the transmitter and the SD card.

*If you change the System Type, other model data is not
reset.
*If a system type is changed in Helicopter mode, the
transmitter will offer two selections:
[Yes] : Selection sets the channel order suitable for System
Type. (We recommend here. )
[No] : The present channel order is maintained.
*After any change, remember to test the model and should
fully check servo direction and a motion.
*Analog servos cannot be used with the R7008SB in the
FASSTest 12CH mode.

)
Battery fail-safe voltage setup (only FASSTest / T-FHSS mode)
The voltage which battery fail-safe activates,
can be set when you link. (3.5-8.4V) The receiver memorizes the setting as it was at link.
Suggested setting voltages are as follows.
• 4 cells NiCd or NiMH (Normal: 4.8v) = 3.8 v
• 2 cells LiFe (Normal: 6.6 v) = 6.0 ~ 6.2 v
• 2 cells LiPo (Normal: 7.4 v) = 6.6 ~ 7.4 v
It is a rough reference value.
Since it changes with servos carried in the condition and the model of a battery, please set to your own model in a battery consumption current.

FAIL SAFE
Sets the servos operating position when transmitter signals can no longer be received or when the receiver battery voltage drops.
The Failsafe function may be used to set up
positions that the servos move to in the case of radio interference.
You may set either of two positions for each
channel: Hold, where the servo maintains its last commanded position, or Failsafe, where each servo moves to a predetermined position. You may choose either mode for each channel. (FASST 7CH mode: CH3 only)
The T18SZ system also provides you with
an advanced battery monitoring function that warns you when the receiver battery has only a little power remaining. In this case, each servo is moved to the defined failsafe position. (FASST 7CH mode: CH3 only) The battery failsafe may be released by operating a predefined control on the transmitter, do not continue to fly, land as soon as possible. Remember, if the predefined

Denes servo position when signals are lost and
when receiver battery voltage becomes low.
WARNING
For safety, always set the fail safe functions.
●Remember to set the throttle channel fail safe function so that
the servo moves to the maximum slow side for airplanes and to the slow side from the hovering position for helicopters. Crashing of the model at full high when normal radio waves cannot be received due to interference, etc., is very dangerous.
●If the battery fail safe is reset by the throttle stick, it may
be mistaken for an engine malfunction and will be reset at
throttle slow and the model will continue to y. If you have
any doubts, immediately land.

SWASH
Swash operation linkage correction function.(helicopter only, except swash type H-1)
Neutral Point
At your linkages, if the servo horn deviates from a perpendicular position at neutral, the linkage compensation functions in this menu may not compensate effectively. To correct this use the neutral point function. This will move the neutral point of the servos to the actual perpendicular position. However, this adjustment changes only the axis point of the compensation functions in this menu, and does not affect the neutral position of other functions.
Swash AFR
Swash AFR function reduces/increases/reverses the rate (travel) of the aileron, elevator and collective pitch functions, by adjusting or reversing the motion of all servos involved in that function, only when using that function.
● Select [SWASH] at the linkage menu and call the setup screen shown below by touching the RTN button.
● Select the function name and return to the Linkage menu by touching the RTN button or pushing the Home/Exit button.
Mixing Rate
This compensation mixing is used to correct the tendency of the swash-plate for each control. The following compensation mixing is possible; PIT to AIL, PIT to ELE, AIL to PIT, ELE to AIL, and ELE to PIT (HR3 mode.) It adjusts the swash­plate to operate correctly for each control using the corresponding compensation mixing.
Linkage Compensation
This compensation mixing is used to correct the tendency of the swash-plate for pitch control at low pitch and high pitch.
Speed Compensation
This function is used to cancel the reaction that is generated by the difference of the operation amount of each servo when the swash-plate moves.
