• 6" X-BUS extension
Setup Information
Insert the X-BUS extension into the Variometer Sensor and
X-BUS port of the TM1000 Telemetry Module. The sensor has
two ports through which the X-BUS extension connects. Either
plug can be used on the sensor. When using multiple sensing
units, daisy chaining will be required.
IMPORTANT: Make sure your transmitter and/or
STi™ application software is updated to the most
recent version.
Mount the TM1000 module near the receiver in a position that
allows the 2.5-inch data lead to extend from the receiver's
DATA port to the DATA port on the telemetry module. You can
use servo tape to secure the TM1000 module or wrap it in
foam with the receiver. Connect the DATA lead to the TM1000
port marked DATA and connect the other end of the lead to the
receiver's DATA port.
NOTICE: Route and secure the antenna away from
any metallic or conductive materials.
Binding
Please refer to your transmitter, receiver, STi™ or telemetry
module (TM1000) manuals for binding instructions. For
sensor compatibility, please refer to the item product page
on spektrumrc.com or horizonhobby.com.
Installation
The Variometer Sensor is designed to easily install in any
sailplane application. The sensor accurately reads minute
barometric pressure changes to determine the rate of climb
and altitude. Mount the sensor using double-sided foam tape.
It is important to mount the sensor inside the aircraft in an
area that offers stable, ambient barometric pressure. In most
sailplanes, we recommend mounting the sensor inside the
aircraft away from any openings in the fuselage (canopy,
hatch, wing joints, etc.).
If the altitude reading varies in relationship with speed during
flight, move the sensor to a more stable position. This is more
critical in powered aircraft where prop blast can effect the
pressure inside the fuselage.
