3. Настройка

Proper setup is crucial for accurate telemetry data. Follow these general guidelines for connecting your Flysky Telemetry Data Modules:

  1. Праверка сумяшчальнасці: Ensure your receiver (e.g., iA4B, iA6B, iA10B) and transmitter (e.g., NV14, PL18, iT4S, i10) are compatible with the specific telemetry module you intend to use. Refer to the 'Product Overview' section for module-specific compatibility.
  2. Падключэнне сілкавання: All modules require a power input of 4.0-6.5V DC. Connect the module to a stable power source within this range.
  3. i-BUS Connection: Connect the telemetry module to the i-BUS port on your compatible Flysky receiver. Some receivers like the iA10 may require a conversion cable (not included with the module).
  4. Sensor Specific Connections:
    • RPM Modules (FS-CPD01/FS-CPD02): Connect the magnetic or optical sensor to the rotating part you wish to monitor. Ensure the sensor is securely mounted and aligned for accurate readings.
    • Temperature Module (FS-CTM01): Securely attach the temperature probe to the component you want to monitor (e.g., motor, ESC). Ensure good thermal contact.
    • тtage Module (FS-CVT01): Падключыце тtage input wires to the battery or power source you intend to monitor, observing correct polarity.
    • Height Module (FS-CAT01): This module typically connects directly to the i-BUS port and does not require additional external sensors for height measurement.
  5. Настройка перадатчыка: Once connected, power on your receiver and transmitter. Navigate to the telemetry settings on your transmitter to enable and configure the newly connected sensors. Refer to your transmitter's manual for detailed instructions on telemetry setup.

4. Інструкцыя па эксплуатацыі

After successful setup, your telemetry data modules will transmit real-time information to your compatible Flysky transmitter. Here's how to operate and interpret the data:

  1. Уключэнне: Ensure your RC model and transmitter are powered on. The telemetry modules will automatically begin transmitting data once powered.
  2. Accessing Telemetry Data: On your Flysky transmitter, navigate to the telemetry or sensor display screen. The exact menu path varies by transmitter model (e.g., FS-i6, i10, iT4S, NV14, PL18). Consult your transmitter's user manual for specific instructions.
  3. Дадзеныя маніторынгу: The transmitter screen will display the real-time data from your connected modules:
    • Абароты ў хвіліну: Displays the current rotational speed of the monitored component.
    • тэмпература: Shows the current temperature in degrees Celsius.
    • тtage: Indicates the real-time voltage of the monitored power source.
    • Рост: Provides altitude readings.
  4. Data Alarms: Many Flysky transmitters allow you to set custom alarms for telemetry data (e.g., low voltage, high temperature). Configure these alarms in your transmitter's settings to receive alerts during operation.

  • Праверце злучэнні: Regularly check all wiring and connectors for signs of wear, corrosion, or loose connections. Secure any loose connections to prevent intermittent data transmission.
  • Фізічны агляд: Inspect the module casings for any cracks or damage. Ensure sensors (e.g., temperature probe, RPM sensor) are securely mounted and not obstructed.
  • захоўванне: When not in use, store the modules in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Выпраўленне непаладак

If you encounter issues with your telemetry data modules, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

  • No Telemetry Data Displayed:
    • Check all connections: Ensure the module is securely connected to the i-BUS port on the receiver and that the receiver is properly powered.
    • Verify power: Confirm the module is receiving adequate power (4.0-6.5V DC).
    • Transmitter settings: Ensure telemetry is enabled and the correct sensors are selected in your transmitter's menu.
    • Compatibility: Double-check that your transmitter and receiver are compatible with the specific telemetry module.
  • Няправільныя паказанні:
    • Sensor placement: Ensure the sensor (e.g., RPM, temperature) is correctly positioned and has good contact with the monitored component.
    • Interference: Keep telemetry modules and wiring away from high-current wires or other sources of electromagnetic interference.
    • Calibration: Some transmitters or modules may require calibration for optimal accuracy. Refer to your transmitter's manual.
  • Перыядычныя дадзеныя:
    • Loose connections: Inspect all wiring for loose or damaged connections.
    • Range: Ensure you are operating within the effective range of your RC system.
    • Power fluctuations: Verify that the power supply to the module is stable.

If issues persist after following these steps, contact Flysky customer support or your retailer for further assistance.
