futaba SBS-01T
The SBS-01T is a temperature sensor that can be used to measure the temperature of engines and other devices. It has a measurement range of -20℃ to 200℃. It can be connected to a Futaba transmitter and the temperature can be displayed via the S.BUS2 port.
Futaba SBS-01RM Manual
The document introduces an RPM sensor named SBS-01RM, which has a length of 255mm, weight of 4.7g, voltage range of DC3.7~7.4V, and a speed range of 360~100,000RPM. The document also provides installation instructions and proper usage methods for the sensor.
Futaba SBS-01G Manual
The SBS-01G is a sensor that calculates distance and speed from GPS. It is not recommended for indoor flying and may not detect the flight posture of a model. This sensor calculates altitude based on atmospheric pressure, but changes in atmospheric pressure can affect the accuracy of the display. It takes some time for the GPS positioning to be established, and during this time, the model should not be moved. The sensor should not be installed where it can be directly exposed to wind or airflow, in a sealed location where atmospheric pressure does not change, or where objects that interfere with electromagnetic waves are above the sensor (such as metal or carbon). It is not recommended for indoor flying and should not be placed in a sealed location. The altitude/height displayed starts from 0m when the power is turned on and shows the change from that point. Even if the altitude of your airfield is high, it will start at 0m and calculate the altitude difference.
Futaba SBS-01A Manual
This document introduces an altitude sensor and vario meter based on atmospheric pressure measurement. The sensor can measure altitudes ranging from -700 to 5,500 meters and is lightweight. It is suitable for applications with a DC voltage of 3.7 to 7.4V. The sensor calculates altitude from atmospheric pressure, but exact advanced display is not possible when atmospheric pressure changes due to weather conditions. The document also mentions installation precautions.
