Additional function / Wireless S.BUS servo setting
V2.0
Futaba S.BUS / S.BUS 2 The "S. BUS servo" function (Instruction manual page 135) that allows you to change
the servo parameters can now be set up wirelessly by connecting to the receiver.
* A receiver compatible with the wireless setting function is required. (As of April 2018, R334SBS / R334SBS-E is compatible with
wireless setting, please update the previous receiver to version 2.0 or later.)
WARNING
In the wireless setting, there is a danger that a car (boat) goes uncontrollably unexpectedly because the servo
will temporarily stop working during communication. For safety, in case of electric car (boat), please set with
driving wheel (boat propeller) not touching the road surface (water surface). Also, in the case of an internal
combustion engine car (boat), be sure to stop the engine before entering wireless set-up mode.
NOTE:
- For safety reasons, it is not possible to change between normal mode and SR mode with wireless setting. To
change the mode, connect the servo to the communication port and switch. However, for servos set to SR
mode, SR1 / SR2 / SR3 can be switched by wireless setting.
- Wireless setting can not be used if a device that converts signals such as gyro and FSU (Failsafe Unit) etc.
are connected between the receiver and the servo.
