1. Description
The Graupner-HoTT General Air-Module enables the wireless monitoring of for example the battery voltage,
power consumption, motor rpm, fuel consumption or altitude of the model in real time. The General AirModule can be programmed directly with all HoTT transmitters with integrated telemetry in the transmitter
display (some models such as MC-24 with update or modication).
the following transmitters must be programmed via SMaRt-BoX order no. 33700: mx-12 HoTT order
No. 4754, mx-16 HoTT order No. 4755, and mx-22 No. 4801/4802, mc-19 No. 4821 and mc-22 No. 4818
after conversion to HoTT. This differentiation between the transmitter models and the resulting operation is
explicitly mentioned at the appropriate point in the instructionsn (see also point 5).
For full functionality, additional sensors are necessary.

P
This product isn‘t designed for use by children under the age of 14, it isn‘t a toy!
The controller‘s CE certicate doesn‘t unbind users from their obligation to use ultimate caution.
Should the motor refuse to start up, or after a crash, then you should immediately set the
transmitter‘s control stick to the OFF position to avoid any overload to the controller. Check
once again that the motor connections are correct. It may be necessary to shorten the leads,
and / or set a throttle pick-up delay, in order to prevent timing errors.
Use only motors delivered by GM-Racing or Graupner/SJ which are designed for the intended
range of voltages!
Use only high performance batteries by Graupner/SJ or GM-Racing. Using batteries with an
increased internal resistance may lead to the destruction of the controller! Do never use a
power supply!
Never leave your model unattended when a battery is connected. In case of a deciency this
may cause an outbreak of re on the model or its environment.
Neither the controller nor any other electronic components should ever come in touch with water. Protect the controller against dust, dirt, humidity, vibrations, or other dangerous elements.
Never run the motor on a separate battery. This will destroy the controller or the motor, and
leads to the loss of our warranty.
33611 General Air-Modul - Graupner HoTT 2.4 03
Never mix up polarities. Use plug systems which offer protection against wrong polarity. Avoid
short-circuiting and blocking the motors.
All cables and connectors should have good insulation. Short-circuits may lead to the destruction of your motor.
Graupner/SJ-controllers are designed for use in battery-driven, radio-controlled models only;
any other use is not permissible. Using this device on a passenger-carrying model is forbidden!
Motors, gears or gearboxes, and propellers are dangerous objects. Never keep next to or in
front of the danger area of the drive!
Technical defects or failures of mechanical or electronic parts may lead to an unexpected
start-up of the motor, with parts of it ying off, maybe causing severe injuries.
Always check the service range of transmission of your model rst thing while it‘s still on the
ground (hold the model tightly!). Try again with motor on and also with fast changes of the
throttle stick.
Don‘t make any changes on the structure and design of your controller unless they are described in the manual.
Only those components and accessory parts which have been recommended by us may be
used. Use only genuine and matching Graupner/SJ connectors and accessory parts.
Make sure whenever you start connecting and operating the controller, that your transmitter
isswitched on, and has the throttle set to position “STOP”.
Limited warranty: Graupner Ltd cannot survey the proper application of the mounting and
using regulations, nor the working methods and conditions during the installation, use, operation, and servicing of the controller. Therefore Graupner Ltd cannot take on any liability for
any loss, damage, or costs resulting from an incorrect use or operation of the product, or
connected in any way with incorrect use or operation.
3. Mounting the Module in the Plane
Mount the General Air-Module at an appropriate location in the model. The vario sensor is already integrated in the module. This sensor detects changes in air pressure and calculates the resulting actual altitude.
Therefore, make sure that the sensor is wind-protected in the model and is not located directly in the ow
of the propeller. Likewise, it must not be mounted on an air-tight place, such in a sealed radio box. The best
way to x the General Air-Module with the mounting tabs or double sided tape on a wind-protected frame in
the model, the orientation of the sensor is not important.

Note: the accuracy of the sensor also varies with alterations in ambient air pressure, e.g. due to sudden changes in weather conditions, as well as with changes in air
pressure which occur in the course of the day or during
an extended ight. It is not uncommon for minor uctuations in air
pressure to affect the accuracy of the sensor to the extent of about
10 to 20 m. These inaccuracies can also be caused by pressure
changes inside the fuselage itself (e.g. high pressure due to the forced propeller airow, or air owing into
the model during a ight).
4. Connection of sensors
The consumed current and capacity is measured only on connection 1 (IN) and 8 (OUT). Therefore, the
main battery for the motor (electric model - G3.5 connector) or the transmitter battery (Nitro model - JR
connector) must be connected to this connection. Use a connector system to replace the battery easily.
If you use a LIXX battery, the balancer can be plugged into socket 6 to monitor the individual cell voltage.
Caution: never connect batteries to both sockets (G3.5 and JR)! These are inter-connected, and
must only be used separately. Note also that the input voltage is present at the JR socket at output
8; do not connect the plug to the receiver if the voltage is higher than the maximum permissible
voltage for receiver or servos.
Note: All negative terminals are interconnected and not galvanically seperated.
Caution: Please ensure that the continuous current does not exceed the stated maximum for the
current sensor. You should also ensure that the motor start-up current is not so high that the shunt
resistors are overloaded! This can result in a break in the power supply, which would cause the
model to crash.
For this reason it is important to carry out a thorough check of the motor’s function and maximum current
drain: start cautiously, then increase to maximum load and eventually to a full battery charge, to ensure that
the current shunt resistors are not overloaded.
The “regulate current” function (see point 7.4.) can be used to limit the maximum current passing through
the model’s electronic speed controller. If the model’s current drain is above the peak current permitted for
the General Air module, then it is essential to use this function to prevent damage to the module or a break
in the power supply.
If high peak currents are likely, you must use the more powerful General Electric sensor, Order No. 33620,
or alternatively you might prefer to manage without current measurement altogether.
When measuring power system currents please note that the voltage fall-off at the shunt resistors can place
an increased load on the speed controller, and on the speed controller’s capacitors in particular. For safety
reasons you should therefore operate the controller on one or two cells fewer than the maximum stated
cell-count, i.e. not with the full count.
Connect any additional sensors to the corresponding sockets as shown in the illustration at the top.

5. Starting up
Connect the General Air-Module (socket 2) with the 3-pin lead to socket marked „T“ of the receiver. The
connector system is polarised, look for the small camfer on the edges. Never use force - the plug should
engage easily and fully. The sockets are labeled accordingly: black wire (-), red wire (+) and orange wire (S).
Only for transmitters under 1 „exception“ with SMART-BOX:
Install the SMART-BOX at the mounting bracket of the transmitter as shown in the gure. Connect the box
then the 3-pin lead to the transmitter. Put one end of the cable into the DATA jack on the transmitter and the
other into the jack on the right side of the SMART-BOX. The connector system is polarised, look for the small
camfer on the edges. Never use force - the plug should engage easily and fully. The sockets are labeled
accordingly: black wire (-), red wire (+) and orange wire (S).
Note: You can connect the General Air-Module instead of the receiver directly to the jack on the
right side of the SMART-BOX. By doing this, the settings will be sent directly to the General Air-
Module (without using the radio control system) and the programming is much faster. A power supply for the SMART-BOX is neccessary (3.6 - 9 V), inserted on the left side. The connector system is reverse
polarised, look for the small camfer on the edges. Do not use force, the plug should click into place easily.
This sockets is labeled accordingly also. The black wire must be down (-), the red top (+).
6. operation
The operation of the General Air-Module is similar to the operation of the transmitter. You should also read
the manual of your remote control system, especially the chapter „telemetry“. The operation is done in
the transmitter menu „telemetry“ under the display SETTING & DATA VIEW. The sensor displays follow
the receiver displays (RX), i.e. the „Lipo Cell Voltage“ display follows after the last display servo test (RX
SERVO TEST).
Please note: the menus can only be selected when the receiver is switched on. When you switch
the receiver on, it may take a few seconds before the receiver display becomes active and can be
selected: > symbol appears at the top right corner of the transmitter display (TX).
There may be a slight delay in the screen’s response to inputs, since all the settings are transmitted directly
to the receiver by wireless means.
Operation with the SMART-BOX:
The SMART-BOX is operated by the four buttons on the top. Switch with the ESC and ENTER keys between
the different displays. With the DEC and INC buttons you can select the parameters in the display (INC
moves the cursor down, DEC up).
Switch on the transmitter. On the startup screen appears SETTING AND DATA VIEW / MODEL SELECT.
Move the arrow cursor with the INC or DEC buttons on SETTING AND DATA VIEW and then press ENTER
to display the parameters of the transmitter, receiver and telemetry sensors and / or program it, or select
MODEL SELECT to display the telemetry data graphically (see point 9). In MODEL SELECT display no
changes are possible.
After SETTING AND DATA VIEW have chosen, the „Lipo Cell Voltage“ display is available. The sensor displays follow the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) displays, i.e. the „Lipo Cell Voltage“ display follows after
the last display servo test (RX SERVO TEST).

Warning:
• Do not carry out any programming work on the sensors while the model is ying, otherwise
there is a real risk that your model will y out of control while you are not concentrating on it!
• If your model is tted with two or more receivers, it is absolutely essential that you do not carry
out programming work during a ight, as this can alter the settings in the receivers to which no telemetry
equipment is connected; in the worst case this could result in the model crashing.
For this reason always carry out programming on the ground, and check that only the receiver with connected sensors is powered on.

In this display you can determine and limit the maximum current drawn
by the model’s power system.
If the model’s current drain is above the permitted peak current for the
General Air module, it is essential to use this function to prevent damage to the module or a break in the power supply, as this would be likely
to cause the model to crash (see also Point 3: connecting the sensors).

• Use the three-core lead to connect the telemetry socket t on the General Air module to the telemetry
socket T on the receiver. Connect the electronic speed controller to the socket Co.
• Use a three-core lead to connect the socket CI on the General Air module to the recei-
ver socket to which the electronic speed controller would usually be connected.
• Current control can be activated and disabled from the transmitter: for this function you need one vacant swit-
20 33611 General Air-Modul - Graupner HoTT 2.4
ched channel. Connect the associated receiver output to the socket CS on the General Air module using
a three-core lead.
• Finally connect the ight battery (IN) and the motor (OUT) to the sensor as shown above.
Programming the current limiter:
• The maximum current drawn by your drive motor can be programmed under CURRENT.
• Under ON [XXXXus] you should set the throttle position, at which the module’s current limiting function is
to begin. The higher the maximum current, the earlier the activation point for the current limiting function.
The value is programmed by setting the throttle stick to the appropriate position, then pressing the INC +
DEC buttons: the value is then accepted directly on the screen. The value can also be ne-tuned by
pressing the INC or DEC button.
• If you wish to be able to switch current limiting on and off from the transmitter using a switched channel
(socket CS connected), you must program a throttle stick position [XXXXus] under ON METHOD, since
this function is otherwise disabled.
• The </> position can be selected to suit different radio control systems, i.e. if servo reverse is required at
the electronic speed controller.
• Set whether current limiting is to be activated (ON) or disabled (OFF) at ON METHOD. If it is activated
and the maximum current is exceeded, the controller’s current is reduced to the throttle position pro grammed under STOP until such time as the current drain falls back below the set value. The current is
then raised again to the selected throttle position, etc. This means that you can y at one throttle position,
and the current limiting is carried out automatically by the General Air module; all you will notice is a slight
uctuation in motor power.
• Under STOP you can program the speed controller’s throttle position to which the current is reduced if the
set maximum current is exceeded; it is best to start with a position just above the neutral setting. Excep tion: if you are using a folding propeller, the controller must apply slight brake to ensure that the blades
fold back reliably.
• The value is programmed by setting the throttle stick to the appropriate position, then pressing the INC +
DEC buttons: the value is then accepted directly on the screen. The value can also be ne-tuned by
pressing the INC or DEC button.
• example:
Settings: maximum current (CURRENT): 40 A, ON [1500us], current limiting active (On Method: ON) and
controller position (STOP): 1400 us.
When you advance the throttle stick to the full-throttle position (e.g. 1900us) the motor current rises to 65
A. Since the position is above the set 1500us, and current limiting is active, the General Air module
reduces the motor current by lowering the position to the value programmed under STOP. Once the motor
current is below 40 A again, the module raises the throttle setting again to the value set by the throttle
stick (1900us).

10. telemetry display
If you select SIMPLE DATAVIEW the telemetry data can only be displayed, i.e. it cannot be programmed - in
contrast to SETTING AND DATAVIEW. However, the data is represented in graphic form, and this makes
it the preferable option when actually operating a model, as it is easier and quicker to read and assess.
You should also read the manual of your remote control system, especially the chapter „telemetry“. The
operation is done in the transmitter menu „telemetry“ under the display SETTING & DATA VIEW.
Please note: the menus can only be selected when the receiver is switched on. When you switch the receiver on, it may take a few seconds before the receiver display becomes active and can be selected: > symbol
appears at the top right corner of the transmitter display (TX). When the receiver is off, the error message
„Can‘t receive data“ appears.
There may be a slight delay in the screen’s response to inputs using the top buttons, since all the settings
are transmitted directly to the receiver by wireless means.
Operation with the SMART-BOX:
Switch the transmitter on: the start screen of the SMART-BOX displays SETTING AND DATA VIEW / MODEL
SELECT. Use the INC or DEC button to move the arrow cursor to MODEL SELECT, then press ENTER to
switch to the graphic representation of the telemetry display.
Please note: these menus can only be selected if the receiver is already switched on. After you switch the
receiver on, note that it may take several seconds before the display becomes active, and can be selected.
There may be a slight delay in the screen’s response to inputs using the top buttons, since all the settings
are transmitted directly to the receiver by wireless means.
Once you have selected MODEL SELECT , the Smart-Box displays the telemetry menu. Y ou must then select
the appropriate sensor using the arrow cursor, depending on whether you are operating a model aircraft
(AIRPLANE) or a model car (CAR).
It is possible to select any of the displays, but - as you would expect - the unit can only display those parameters for which sensors are actually installed in the model; all the other parameters display the value 0.
Use the INC (p) or DEC (q) button to move the arrow cursor to AIRPLANE (model aircraft) or CAR (model
car), then press ENTER (Set) to move to the corresponding telemetry display.
In the aircraft display (AIRPLANE) you can use the INC or DEC button to select one of the following graphic
displays:

Multiple sensors, for example GPS and General module, can be connected to the receiver via a Y-cable
order No. 3936.11 from software version V2.x or higher for the module, receiver and SMART-BOX.
Attention: When using the Y-cable plugged into the telemetry connector on the receiver for connecting multiple sensors, only the SIMPLE DATA VIEW or MODEL SELECT can be used, because only in this mode
the sensors are addressed correctly.
The SETTING AND DATAVIEW mode for programming can not be used!
First the sensors must individually programmed, for example directly with the SMART-BOX.
11. Firmware update
Since the General Air-Module can be updated via the USB connection, you always have the latest software
and can utilize future functions or languages. Firmware updates for the General Air-Module can be transferred via the DAT A or telemetry interface in conjunction with a PC running Windows XP , Vista or 7. For this you
also require the USB interface, Order No. 7168.6, the adapter lead, Order No. 7168.6A and a Y-cable Order
No. 3936.11 which are available separately.
The programs and les required for this are available from www.graupner.de in the Download area for the
corresponding products.
