Can anyone please help with instructions for connecting a HITEC HS805BB servo that I have just recently bought on the net. It has a Y lead with it but no instructions, and I am bothered about damageing my Futaba receiver (on BEC) if I make the wrong connection using a 6volt separate power source. Do I have to clip a red wire?

Is the Y lead part of the servo or an add on / plug in?

Hello Firpark, just noticed your post and although I can't add advise in anyway (complete novice!) this link may help, also There was a comment posted on Kiwi shopping (on the net) that stated a y lead should / could not be used with this servo as it draws too much current. I wouldn't know but maybe this helps.

          Regards, Tony.

          Universal Futaba J, Hitec S, JR and Airtronics Z Connector.

FEATURES: Dual Ball Bearings
          Hitec Custom IC
          Water Resistant Case (not water-proof)

INCLUDES:  One Servo
           One Set Heavy Duty Horns (X, Single arm, Circle horns) and Hardware.

SPECS:     Size: 2.6"x 1.2"x 2.3" (66 x 30 x 58 mm)
           Weight: 159g (5.6oz)
           8mA idle and 800mA at zero-load operation
           Speed: 0.20 sec. at 60° w/ 8.4V battery.
           Output Torque:  16.0 kg-cm (224 oz-in) at 4.8V.

REQUIRES: High capacity receiver battery (at least 1200mAh).

COMMENTS: Warning: If used with an electric powered vehicle, do not use
            the BEC. The excessive power drain may damage the receiver or
            the Electronic Speed Control.

          For replacement Gear Set, order HRCM6350.
          For replacement Horns and Mounting Hardware, order HRCM6318.

firpark

Correct!

You remove(unpin) the red connection at the receiver so that the servo battery on the Y-lead does not feed power to/from the receiver and receiver battery.
If you don't use a separate battery you can potentially get low voltage glitches on the receiver supply.

Hi Tony

Thanks for your help, I will have a look on the Hitec web site.

Thanks for the help, do I then just connect a 6volt power supply on to the red and black of the other y lead?
Firpark

Correct!

You remove(unpin) the red connection at the receiver so that the servo battery on the Y-lead does not feed power to/from the receiver and receiver battery.
If you don't use a separate battery you can potentially get low voltage glitches on the receiver supply.

[stallspeed]

Yes.

What other Y-lead

[FIRPARK]

Hi Martin
The Y lead is a plug in--The web site info was really useful thank you--it looks as if others have had similar questions.
Many thanks
firpark

Is the Y lead part of the servo or an add on / plug in?
