S-AG300 S.Bus2 High Voltage Narrow Airplane Servo
Instruction Manual

WARNING
Turn on the power in the transmitter-receiver order. In addition, always check the operation of all the servos before the flight.
Do not insert or remove the servo connector while the receiver power is ON. Since the S.BUS2 servo switches the operation mode automatically according to the type of signal from the receiver if the connector is inserted or removed while the power is ON. an S.BUS connected servo will be erroneously recognized and may stop.
Do not leave the servo in a locked state. Leaving the servo in a locked state (a state in which enough force is applied that the servo cannot move) may cause smoke and fire. and damage.
Never conned the battery In reverse. The reverse connection may cause smoke, fire, and damage.
Do not expose the servo to dust and water. The servo does not have a waterproof construction. If it gets wet the servo may not operate or the power supply may short circuit.
Do not use gas-power models, large models that require high torque. If it is used for gas-power models, large models. the servo may be damaged by vibration and there is a risk of cashing.
When installing the servo, check PUSHROD LINKAGE to make sure there is no binding in order to prevent excessive power consumption and decrease the life of the motor and battery.
CAUTION
Do not touch the servo case immediately after servo operation. You may be burned because the motor and circuits inside the servo become hot.
Do not turn the servo horn with unreasonable force. The servo may be damaged.
Do not disassemble or modify the servo. The servo has a precision construction. Futaba Corp. will not be responsible for any disassembly or modification other than those specified by us.
Do not drop the servo or expose It to strong shocks or vibrations. It will damage with a shock.
Use the servo as an actuator in hobby applications. Futaba will not be responsible if the servo is used in applications other than the above.

Thank you for purchasing Futaba’s S-AG300 glider servo. To maximize your enjoyment, and to ensure proper sensing, please read through this manual thoroughly. We also encourage you to retain the manual for future reference should the need arise.

Specifications

Use	Glider • F3K
Dimensions	23.5 x 8.0 x 19.7 mm

Futaba will not be responsible for damage, etc. caused by the use of parts other than Genuine Futaba parts.

Servo horn, Servo horn set screw
The S-AG300 servo horn and servo horn set screw are for exclusive use. The conventional one can not be used. Be sure to use the included servo horn and servo horn set screw. (The two included tapping screws are for attaching to the aircraft.)
Current consumption
Large current flows during servo operation. Therefore, decide the safe number of uses by paying careful attention to the remaining battery capacity.
Power supply
Use the battery as a specification. Use a battery or a voltage regulator with an ample margin as the power supply. The specified performance cannot be displayed with a dry cell battery.
Even if using a receiver with the BATTERY FAIL-SAFE function, it may not operate correctly. Therefore always check the battery voltage and charge the battery quickly.
System use
For full performance, a 2.4GHz system is recommended.
Programming function
This servo can be connected to a PC by using the CIU-2 or CIU-3 USB Adapter sold separately and its various operating characteristics can be changed as a programmable servo by means of dedicated software “S-LInk”. S-LInk is downloadable from a Futa-ba WEB site. However, channel settings 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 a 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.
Soft start
In order to protect the linkage, only the first operation when the power is turned on moves the servo to the specified position slowly. When a new control signal enters while the soft start is operating, it becomes a normal operation at once.

About the S.BUS/S.BUS2 system

S.BUS2
Using the S.BUS2 port an impressive array of telemetry sensors may be utilized. This servo is connectable with both sides of the S.BUS and S.BUS2 port.
S.BUS2 servo → it can be used in S.BUS2 and S.BUS port.
S.BUS servo → it cannot be used in the S.BUS2 port.

Futaba S AG300 S.Bus2 High Voltage Narrow Airplane Servo - Fig
1 * Can also be used together with conventional servos.

Items required: S.BUS or S.BUS2 receiver, S.BUS2 servo, S.BUS hub, S.BUS channel setting tool ( • S.BUS channel setup compatible transmitter/ • SBC-11 • CIU-2/ • CIU-3/ • S.BUS channel setup compatible receiver)
[Procedure for use with the S.BUS/S.BUS2 system]
1. Set the channel at the S.BUS2 servos.
  Set the channel at the S.BUS2 servos by using an S.BUS channel setting tool.
Refer to the S.BUS channel setting tool instruction manual for the S.BUS servo channel setting method. 2. Connect the servos to an S.BUS or S.BUS2 compatible receiver.
Connect the servos from the S.BUS or S.BUS2 port of the S.BUS or S.BUS2 compatible receiver via S.BUS hubs.

What is S.BUS?
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 another S.BUS compatible device. This data includes commands such as “move the channel 3 servos 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 are 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 can be confirmed by the dedicated link software “S-Link” or the transmitter with the S.BUS setting function.

Operation is the same as that of a conventional servo.
[Operation by conventional radio control]
An S.BUS2 servo connected to a conventional receiver operates as a conventional servo. The channel becomes the receiver connection point.
The contents set by the programmable function are effective.
