Supports the telemetry function of the Futaba sensor "Futaba ESC" and the Hobbywing sensor "Hobbywing ESC".
Corresponding Futaba ESC: MC-980H/A, MC-9130H/A, MC-9200H/A
For details on Hobbywing ESC telemetry support, refer to the Hobbywing website.
Procedure:
- Register the ESC with the transmitter.

- Select [Sensor] on the second page of the linkage menu.
- Open the second page of the sensor screen and tap the Slot 24 button. (Indicates tapping the 'Slot 24' button.)
- A list of sensors will be displayed, so select Futaba ESC.
- If slot 24 is used for another sensor: Connect the SBM-2 to the S.I/F port on the back of the transmitter. (Image: Diagram showing the SBM-2 module connected to the S.I/F port on the back of the transmitter.)
- Connect the SBM-2 to the S.I/F port in the rear of the transmitter.

If continuous slots are not available, SBM-2 will not be registered accordingly. If there are unused slots, but they are not continuous, please use the Sensor Unit Reallocation feature, which follows, to change the slots of the existing sensors to accommodate the sensors which require continuous slots.
- "The connected sensor is not ready" No response from sensor unit. Check the connections.
The registered ESC will be displayed as "Futaba ESC". The registered Hobbywing ESC is displayed as "Hobbywing ESC".
(Editor Version: 3.4 Encoder version: 1.2)
1. Add R.P.M. display : Gov Basic
The number of revolutions of the governor setting is displayed on the governor basic screen of the gyro setting. (Image: Screenshot of the 'Gov Basic' screen displaying RPM Set 1, 2, and 3.)
2. GYA553 Addition of setting parameters
AIL / ELE / RUD holding power setting has been added to the setting parameters of GYA553. Adjusted the gyro holding force of the aircraft in AVCS mode. Decreasing the value weakens the holding power and makes the operation feeling closer to the Normal mode. (Image: Screenshot of the 'Config' screen for GYA553 showing Holding Power settings for AIL, ELE, RUD.)
3. Expansion of governor R.P.M. range
With the governor function of the model menu, the R.P.M. range has been expanded to 700 to 3500 rpm. (Image: Screenshot of the 'Governor' screen showing Rate1, Rate2, Rate3 settings and RPM range.)
4. Add GYA553 Airplane Gyro setting function.
Refer the T32MZ GYA553 Setting Manual.
5. Compatible with SCORPION ESC telemetry
Added support for SCORPION POWER SYSTEM ESC some models.

(Editor Version: 3.2.1 Encoder version: 1.1)
1. Fixed a defect on the screen off function.
(Editor Version: 3.2 Encoder version: 1.1)
1. Add Screen off function [Quick start]
This "screen off" can quick start next startup. This is convenient when turning on and off frequently. No RF output at "screen off". Also, there is no screen display. However, the battery is consumed because the internal circuit is activated.
Warning: While in screen off mode, it consumes about 4% of the battery per hour. If you do not use the transmitter for a long time, turn off the power.
Updates cannot be performed in screen off mode. To update, turn off the power.
(Image: Diagram showing the procedure for turning off the transmitter by holding HOME/EXIT and then turning off the power switch. Image: Diagram illustrating the 'Screen OFF' function.)
2. Add Stop alarm : Telemetry RPM sensor setting
On the telemetry setting screen, if you enable the alarm setting on the low rotation side of the RPM sensor and set the alarm setting to 0, an alarm will be activated when the rotation speed becomes 0.
3. Chinese language support
Added support for Chinese display. You can select Chinese by updating to Chinese version software.
4. GPS display correction
