S3177SV Metal Gear HV Digital Servo

Product Information:

Specifications:

• Model Number: 1M23N12738
• Recommended System: 2.4GHz
• Compatibility: S.BUS or S.BUS2 compatible receiver

Product Usage Instructions:

Warning:

Please read and follow these instructions carefully to ensure
safe and proper usage of the product.

1. Do not insert or remove the connector while the power is ON as
   it may cause erroneous recognition and stoppage of the servo.

2. Always check the battery voltage and charge the battery
   quickly, even when using a receiver with BATTERY FAIL SAFE
   function.

3. The servo is not waterproof. Avoid getting it wet as it may
   result in malfunction or short circuit.

4. When using 5 or more servos for large scale models, it is
   recommended to use a separate power supply. You can utilize an
   S.BUS Hub with Cable (2-way/remote battery pack use) for this
   purpose (sold separately).

5. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use a 2.4GHz
   system.

6. Avoid touching the servo while it is operating as it may
   generate a large amount of noise and become impossible to receive,
   which can be extremely dangerous.

7. When installing the servo, ensure that there is enough space
   for proper ventilation to prevent excessive power consumption and
   decrease the life of the motor and battery.

Caution:

Please take note of the following cautions to avoid potential
risks and damages.

1. Do not touch the servo while it is operating as the motor and
   circuits inside may become hot and cause burns.

2. Do not overload the servo with excessive force as it may damage
   the servo.

3. Use attached dampers and eyelets correctly to ensure proper
   installation and avoid damage.

4. The servo should only be used in applications specified by
   Futaba. Futaba will not be responsible for any damages if the servo
   is used in other applications.

Product Connection:

Follow the steps below to connect the servos:

1. Ensure you have an S.BUS or S.BUS2 compatible receiver.

2. Connect the servos from the S.BUS or S.BUS2 port of the
   receiver via S.BUS hubs.

3. If using conventional servos together with S.BUS servos, you
   will need an S.BUS hub and a compatible transmitter/receiver for
   S.BUS channel setup.

S.BUS Channel Setting:

To set the channel at the S.BUS2 servos, follow these steps:

1. Use an S.BUS channel setting tool to configure the channel
   settings.

2. Refer to the instruction manual of the S.BUS channel setting
   tool for the specific method of setting S.BUS servo channels.

FAQ:

Q: Can I use this servo with a conventional receiver?

A: Yes, you can use this servo with a conventional receiver.
However, you will need additional equipment such as an S.BUS hub
and a compatible transmitter/receiver for S.BUS channel setup.

Q: Can I use this servo underwater or in wet conditions?

A: No, the servo does not have a waterproof construction. It
should be kept away from water to avoid malfunction or short
circuit.

Q: Can I use a separate power supply for large scale

models?

A: Yes, when using 5 or more servos for large scale models, it
is recommended to use a separate power supply. You can utilize an
S.BUS Hub with Cable (2-way/remote battery pack use) for this
purpose (sold separately).

However, channel setting and other operating characteristics settings cannot be made with the existing S.BUS PCLink software. When you use a transmitter with an S.BUS setting function. By connecting a servo to the S.BUS setting connector of the transmitter, a program setup of a servo can be performed on the screen of a transmitter. This servo does not have stop mode function. Therefore becomes as [ hold ] when the input signal of a servo stops. Depending on a setup, a servo carries out vibration. If a servo continues carrying out vibration, it will break, please restore a setup.

:KDWLV6%86″ Different from conventional radio control systems the S.BUS system uses data communication to transmit control signals from a receiver to a servo, gyro, or other S.BUS compatible device. This data includes commands such as “move the channel 3 servo to 15 degrees, move the channel 5 servo to 30 degrees” to multiple devices. The S.BUS devices execute only those commands for their own set channel. For this reason, it can be used by connecting multiple servos to the same signal line.Many S.BUS servos is in the connected state, one servo of them can be set it up. The ID code of each servo is used for it. ID code is indicated on the seal of the case. After carrying in a model, it is convenient, if you use attached ID seal and CH seal when ID cannot be seen.
