You enable SSL mode from your TX in the bind menu within system.

To program the servo, you either get the program card or there are some parameters you can program with your TX after plugging the servo in to CH 4 or AUX. Can't remember which one

Don't forget, when you change the mode on a channel you have to rebind your receiver, or the change is not applied.

Thanks all, after changing servo settings do right away the re-bind or turn off then ré-bind their receiver.

Anyone that may help with what is default settings and how to change.

Everything should be on the same bind screen. Toggling the servo mode does nothing.

Make the setting changes on the Tx then switch on the Rx and immediately re-bind. You don't need to power cycle the Tx.

No SSR. It's under the BIND menu.

Actually, if you plug the servo into the SSL port on the RX, its already working in SSL mode with the transmitter... But unlocking the rest of the features requires a bit of work

Ok, so if you want telemetry, you'll need to activate it in the BIND menu (SYSTEM - BIND - TELEMETRY to ON).
Next, if you want to activate the programability, you need Racing Mode engaged, and the Aux2Code10 option active.
[1 - Telemetry]

First, turn on the Aux Code 2. In the SYSTEM menu, find the AUX TYPE sub menu. Here, go to AUX2 selection, and set to CODE10.
[2 - AuxCode]

Now sort our the Racing Modes. Go to RACING, then R-MODE (which if you use steering expo, should need to be on already). Turn it from INH to 2, 3, 4 or 5 (the numbers give you more modes. 2 gives you R1, R2. 3 gives R1, R2 and R3, etc.)
[3 - R-Mode]

Whilst in the R-Mode screen, scroll to the bottom and turn on CodeAX2 to ON. (You'll need to do this for each R-Mode too), along with any other options you want.
[4 - R-Mode AuxCodeON]

With all that done, to program the servo... go back into the RACING menu, Select C-AUX2, and bingo, changing the values of CODE-1 through CODE-7, you can tune the servo (I've relabelled them on my Tx to represent the settings.. see image).
[5 - AuxCode Setting]

Repeat the setup for each R-MODE.. and here's the beauty. By using different R-MODES, with different Aux2Code10 settings, you can tune the servo to switch quickly mid race. For example... R-MODE 1 could be a high grip setup, R-MODE 2 lower. Flick between the R-Modes, and you can instantly change the feel.
Oh and to setup the R-Mode switch... go to SYSTEM and ASSIGN.. then pick a switch or Trim lever (I have mine on Trim3)

Default settings by class - http://sanwa-denshi.com/rc/news/PGS-...20Category.pdf
Team Driver settings - http://sanwa-denshi.com/rc/news/Sett...%20Drivers.pdf
Only thing to note is that to get the full tuning, you still need the PGS setting box...

That’s all true and great help but just to point out you can only program the servo on a compatible SSL radio with Code 10 such as M12S, Exzes ZZ, MT-44. You can’t use Code 5 on these servos on radios M12, Exzes Z, MT-4s. So make sure you are using a compatible Tx!

Indeed great help
Have in minde the code names have been changed example from code01 to SSL in the photos

Would like to know if to be able to program we need to have the 482 receiver or 481 will do

Why have same drivers use EP Buggy default settings on TC car

if we don’t have aux2 ON at the racing mode what will be the servo default settings
If we have the servo on CH1 what will be the default settings

To be able to change settings the servo must be connected to the SSL/BAT port of the receiver correct

I am pondering getting a PGS-LH servo, Although I only have an Exzes Z. Will it have the quick response time? or is it something that I can only do with the Exzes ZZ? Or should I just keep my current BLS V2? Thanks

So does that mean you can still use the PGS-lh or Cl on a std m12, or any other radio for that matter, you will just need to program the servo with a multi gear setting box to change parameters ?
