HOW DO YOU INSTALL THE S.BUS SYSTEM?
Installation is actually simplifi ed as compared to your
normal system installation. Using the S.Bus system
you plug a battery into the SBC-1 channel changing
tool, using it to program which channel you want the
servo to operate on.
Once programmed
t h e s e r vo w i l l
operate as required
regardless of which
lead it is plugged
into. Do this for all of
the servos that you
want to operate on
the S.Bus system. Install the servos in the airplane and
plug them into the S.Bus lead, piggybacking them one
onto another. Once completed you plug one lead into
the receiver for all of the servos and all of the servos
will function as programmed. One lead operates up
to 16 servos!
S.Bus leads are available in a number of different
lengths to accommodate installation into any size
airplane regardless of its complexity.
There are many choices
for the S. Bus receivers;
some are tiny 3 port
receivers with others
being up to 8 channels.
The 8 channel inputs can
be used as you would
normally set up a model, allowing you to split the model
and have some of it set up as S.Bus while other servos
are not using the S. Bus system. Something else to
note is that some of the S. Bus servos and receivers
are HV or High Voltage, meaning that you could run
a straight 2S LiPo for your receiver battery.
Many servo choices are
available for use in a
wide variety and sizes
of aircraft from micros to
the largest models.
Your system is not limited to programming only through
the SBC-1 channel changing tool and your transmitter.
Utilizing the USB interface, the CIU-2, you can do all of
the programming using your PC. Programming with this
interface gives more fl exibility and programming options
than can be achieved with any other radio system. To
utilize standard non S.Bus servos you simply use the
S.Bus decoder instead of the S.Bus lead.
This is just the beginning of what this system can do.
Would you like to operate the servos in the wing with
a separate battery from the fuselage? With S.Bus you
can do that! Run multiple servos – using only a single
channel on your transmitter!!
