Futaba18 mz / telemetry
hi guy’s I try to put 2 sensors for my jet on my 18mz the first sensor is jetcat telemetry and second is powerbox sensor to read volt and mAH. but i try to put the first jetcat sensor... the only slot working is slot 16 to 29. If i choose another slot , the sensor not working and after i try to put powerbox sensor on my 18 mz . I choose register option , and i read register failed not enough available alors.??? i have slot 1 to 15 not used but qu’en i try to put sensor in this slot the sensor not working. can i put more that one sensor ...can you help me working this please thank’s Dave |
Sorry Dave, I gave up on Futaba telemetry and switched to Jeti for just this reason. So far its working great. Best of luck!

You need to activate the JetCat adaptor first by connecting it to the ECU and selecting the radio type to be used.
Then you can connect the adaptor to register the JetCat telemetry. Using both the JetCat & Powerbox telemetry uses nearly all of the slots and you will need to move them around - but it does fit and work. modtron Oxford UK |

I have this very setup in my T1 jet. I have jetcat telemetry and my powerbox royal in my 18mz. I registered the Jetcat sensor first then I did the powerbox. It works perfectly. Patrick |
Hi Dave
your combination will work with a T18MZ Transmitter but not a T18SZ. For example: Using our telemetry converters for Futaba / Jetcat you can have JetCat Display assigned to Slot # 2-15 and PowerBox System Teleconverter to Slot # 16-31. https://www.cb-elektronics.com/futab...0-premium.html On that web page you will also find a Picture for your required Setup. By the way you have still slot number 1 free for a IAS Speed Sensor. :) This is the best Setup for Jetpilots with Futaba. BR Dirk CB Elektronics |
Why would you want to put another item in when the system works as supplied - as "sirrom" mentioned above, you need to register the JetCat adaptor first, then the Powerbox.

Yes,
from what I read Dave tried to register the JetCat converter first. Right? I can imagine many reasons to change a product. I think a good reason to change a product/item whould be to have a proper handbook with the product on hand too. Hope you can agree? Maybe this could be the problem finding not the right setup.

If not can you let me know where you purchased your Jetcat turbine sensor from? Depends on where you purchased it from it may require registering in a different way. Let me know and I can tell you how to get this done. Patrick |
Assuming it's the JetCat telemetry adaptor, did you get the English manual with it, as most come with the German version ?
I have the English manual, if you need a copy. modtron Oxford UK |
after several tries, I am unable to change any sensor slot. the jetcat only works on slot 8 up to 16 and the powerbox too. i try after entering the jetcat sensor to enter the powerbox sensor and i get the message that there is no more slot available.
thank’s for your help guy’s |

I have tried it with PB Royal only and works perfectly. Please look at the pics below. Make sure you connect both the Jetcat sensor and PB to SBUS2 slot (not SBUS). Then change Jetcat to slots 1-14. 15 empty. 16-31 goes to PB. Should be straight forward.

Tasso,
Good catch, I did not even think to ask if he was using the PB teleconverter or something different. I just assumed he had the teleconverter installed. That's what I have in my jet is the Telemetry for my turbine from Lior and the teleconverter setup just like you have in your pictures. |

Tassos https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...bdbecb0067.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rcu...f658b46e8b.jpg Same exact configuration and tx but nope. It only works if leaving PB on Slot 8 ID3. Everywhere I try to add Jetcat V10 also PB data do not work anymore. Also Jetcat V10 alone does not work. All perfectly set on Jetcat fadec (telemetry menu to Sbus2), sensor is fine, rx 7003sb is fine. only difference: jetcat fadec V12....maybe? Any additional idea or suggestion? Thanks !🙂✈ |
