For example, if the backup power is connected to the BEC of your ESC (via your receiver), and that is supplying
5.0V, the Vector will use the PSU power unless the PSU voltage drops below 4.5V. Likewise, if your BEC is
providing 6.0V to the backup power port, the backup power port will always be powering the Vector unless the
BEC output fails.

Note that the backup power input will NOT power your camera or video transmitter. Only the Vector

and accessories connected to the “Bus” port will be powered.

3.2 Vector GPS/Mag and Current Sensor/PSU Connections

Connections to the Current Sensor/PSU (Deans

TM

version shown), the GPS/Mag, and the optional Pitot Airspeed

sensor are shown in the figure below.

The “Bus” connectors on the GPS/Mag

and Airspeed sensors are internally connected
together. Wiring order, or which of the two

connectors on each sensor is used, does not
matter.


In other words, you can plug into either “Bus”

connector, and if you “daisy-chain” the
Airspeed with the GPS/Mag, either unit can be

at the head of the chain.

Never connect the GPS/Mag or pitot

sensor to the Vector’s AUDIO

connection. Doing so will destroy the sensor!
