SMART Throttle*:
The AR637T receiver throttle port includes SMART Throttle. When equipped with
SMART Throttle the normal servo connector delivers the throttle signal to the
ESC, plus the ESC can send telemetry data like voltage and current back to
the receiver. The AR637T receiver throttle port will automatically detect when a
SMART Throttle compatible ESC is plugged in and the throttle port will begin to
operate in SMART Throttle mode.
ESCs with SMART Throttle and IC series connectors can also pass along battery
data from compatible Spektrum SMART batteries.
If a standard ESC or servo is plugged into the throttle port on the
receiver
, the throttle port will operate normally (PWM signal) like any
conventional RC system.
Avian line of ESCs for SMART Throttle.
For SMART Throttle to function you must have a SMART Throttle ESC paired with
a SMART Throttle telemetry receiver, and a Spektrum DSMX transmitter with
telemetry. An update for your transmitter may be required for SMART features.
See www.spektrumrc.com to register and update your transmitter.
