The 3rd method is active even if the Sensor Station is NOT used.

Note

The temp reading for any “unconnected” temp sensor will show -40.

Installation

Don’t install the Sensor Station right away. It

is best to fit the sensors you will use into the

aircraft first. Take the length of the sensor

wire leads into consideration before

permanently mounting. Then, install the

Sensor Station in your model using the

supplied double-sided tape.

The Temperature Sensors (HTS-TEMP) can measure temperatures from -40 to 392 degrees Fahrenheit(-40 to 200 degrees

Celsius). Up to four temp sensors can be used. These will most commonly be used in combination to read the temperatures

of the following model accessories;

Electric motor

ESC

Glow and Gas engine cylinder head

Battery

Muffler

Voltage regulator

B.E.C.

Tailpipe

Ambient air

3. The adjustable function on this screen is

the ability to set a Low Voltage Warning.

Depending on the number of cells used in

the on-board battery, use the +RST- icon to

set a low voltage warning point. It is not

good practice to allow each Lipo cell to fall

below 3 volts. That’s 6 volts for a 2 cell, 9

volts for 3 cell pack etc.

4. Note the

MIN

and

MAX

values of the

battery voltage shown on this screen.

5. The third way to view the battery voltage

is on the Cockpit screen.

The on-board Sensor Station (HTS-SS) - collects all the data from each sensor, sending it back to your transmitter via the

Optima 7 or Optima 9 receivers.

Installation

Installation will vary on the different applica-

tions. Note it is important to have the loop of

the sensor wire held tightly against the

device. Consider using zip ties, a piece of tape

and/or small dabs of silicone to hold the wire

in place.

Aurora transmitter interface

To access the temp screen menu the aircraft must be turned “on” and the temp sensors installed in the Sensor Station

properly attached to the receiver.

a. Access the

System menu

Select “Sensor”

Press “TEMP”

d. Press (arrow) to select between

F(Fahrenheit) and C (Celsius) readings.
