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
b. Select “Sensor”
c. Press “TEMP”
d. Press (arrow) to select between
F(Fahrenheit) and C (Celsius) readings.
