2.4Gz Telemetry Product Installation Guide 2.4Gz Telemetry Product Installation Guide
Beginning with the Ver. 1.07 software Aurora transmitters will be fully capable of advanced 2.4G downlink data telemetry.
When using a combination of sensors and Hitecs micro “Sensor Station”, all of the following functions can be displayed on
the Aurora screen during the flight, and viewed on a PC in real time!
On-Board Battery Voltage, (this is displayed without the use of sensors when the Auroras SPC function is used).
Up to four different temperatures
Measure RPM with either magnetic or optical encoders.
Monitor liquid fuel usage
Gather GPS data to see speed, altitude and location information
This installation guide will cover the physical installation of the Sensor Stations and sensors in airplanes and helicopters
including the related Aurora software screens and their features.
At the end of this manual is a description of how the HPP-22 PC interface can be used to display in real time, record and
play data collected during a flight.
One of the great features of the Aurora transmitter, Spectra 2.4 module and the Optima receivers is their ability to “be
up-dated” with new software. The HTS-SS sensor station now joins the product line with its software up-date capability.
To take advantage of the sensor telemetry we need to be sure your equipment has the latest software.
Step 1.
Does your Aurora have Software V 1.07 or greater? Check in the Aurora system menu – info menu screen, for your Aurora
software version. If not, You will need to update the Aurora software using the HPP-22 device.
Step 2.
Does your Spectra 2.4 module have Software V 2.00 or greater? If not, You will need to update the module software using
the HPP-22 device.
Step 3.
Does your Optima receiver have Software V 2.00 or greater? If not, You will need to update the Aurora software using the
HPP-22 device.
A key advantage to electric aircraft pilots is knowing the voltage of their on-board motor battery. This is done by using the
Auroras SPC function. When the SPC is connected, the motor battery voltage is shown on the Auroras home screen and in
the Cockpit mode.
Please note the SPC connection directions as found in the Aurora manual.
The voltage of your on-board battery can be viewed in real time on the Aurora’s screen three ways;
1. The first is on the home screen.
2. The second is to Select the Sensor icon at
the System menu and press Battery.
