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.
The Futaba SBS-01A is an altitude sensor designed for use with Futaba telemetry systems. It measures altitude by detecting changes in atmospheric pressure and connects to a telemetry receiver via the S.BUS2 port. The sensor is intended for use with R/C models and requires a transmitter with telemetry enabled to function properly.
The document outlines specific installation precautions, such as avoiding locations with direct wind or air flow and ensuring the sensor is not placed in a sealed area. It also details the wiring setup, noting that the sensor uses three continuous slots, with the default start slot being number 3. Safety warnings emphasize that improper connection or installation may result in damage or injury.
| Measurement Range | -700 to 5,500 m |
|---|---|
| Vario Meter Range | -150m/s to +150m/s |
| Length | 175mm |
| Weight | 2.6g |
| Voltage | DC 3.7 to 7.4V |
| Connection Port | S.BUS2 |
The SBS-01A connects to the S.BUS2 port of a telemetry-enabled receiver.
No, the sensor will not function properly if connected to an S.BUS port or other channel ports.
The proper default start slot for this accessory is number 3.
Atmospheric pressure will not change in a sealed location, preventing the sensor from working correctly.
