• Adjust the Roll Out value until 1.20 appears on

the screen. Now all the rpm related functions will

display in mph or km/h.

Method B

For this method you either need to know the internal

gear ratio (normally provided in the vehicle’s manual)

or calculate the ratio via the number of teeth on the

gears. It is also necessary to calculate the circumference

(distance around) of the tire. Once the internal ratio is

known, and the circumference in inches determined,

divide the circumference by the internal ratio and use

this value as the conversion.
To calculate circumference, multiply 3.14 x the tire’s

diameter in inches.
To calculate internal gear ratio, divide the larger gear

by the small gear. With multiple gear transmissions,

multiply each of the larger to smaller gear reduction

ratios to arrive at the final ratio.

Note: The Telemetry screen displays the

maximum recorded speed from the point the

receiver was turned on. To reset the maximum

recorded speed, turn off the receiver, then back on.

Tele: Temp

Unit: Display Temperature Unit in degrees Fahrenheit

or Celsius.
Alert: The Temperature Alert allows you to preset an

alert warning when you reach a specified temperature.

Note: The Telemetry screen displays the

maximum achieved temperature from the point

the receiver was turned on. To reset the maximum

temperature, turn off the receiver, then back on.

Tele: Batt

Note: The voltage displayed is the receiver

voltage. This is especially useful for nitro cars in

alerting you to change your receiver pack before

your vehicle goes into failsafe due to low battery

pack voltage.

Alert: The Battery Alert setting allows you to preset

a low voltage warning. When the battery voltage

in your receiver drops below the preset voltage,

the transmitter will alert you by beeping. Typical

recommended preset value is 1.1-volt per cell.

However, when using high-current draw servos,

reduce that value to .9-volt per cell.

Recommended voltage settings:
• 5-cell 6.0-volt pack = 5.5 volts
• 4-cell 4.8-volt pack = 4.4 volts

• Rotate the roller and place a box

around Tele: Speed, then press

the roller. The surrounding box

will flash.

• Rotate the roller to select the

desired sensor setting for

adjustment then press the roller.

• Press the roller to select the

sensor parameters to adjust.

• Press the roller and a surrounding box will flash.
• Rotate the roller to adjust the value and press the

roller to select.

* Telemetry sensors, mounting brackets, and telemetry

compatible receivers sold separately. The SR3100

receiver is not telemetry compatible.

Receiver battery voltage is built into the telemetry compatible

receiver and no further attachment of sensors is necessary.

Note: The receiver battery must be above 3.5

volts for proper telemetry operation.

rPm/sPEEd sENsOr (NITrO) (sPm1452)

An infrared sensor is available to record rpm values that the

transmitter unit can convert to actual speed in mph or km/h.

The sensor emits an infrared light and a receptor records

the reflection vs. the absorption of light. You need to place a

reflective or light absorbing decal (provided) on the flywheel to

allow the sensor to record rpm. Mounting hardware is available

for easy installation.

RPM/Speed Sensor Installation (Nitro)
• Choose the correct nitro mount for your engine.

Two mounts are

available

: one for .12–.15 engines

(SPM1502) and one for .21–.26 engines (SPM1501).
