Hook Up Information

Insert the X-BUS extension into the Airspeed Sensor and X-BUS
port of the TM1000 Telemetry Module. The sensor has two ports
for the X-BUS extension to attach. Either plug can be used on the
sensor, when using multiple sensing units daisy chaining will be
required. The Airspeed sensor can be installed anywhere inside
the aircraft, and the actual airspeed will display on the
transmitter’s telemetry screen.

Note: Please make sure your DX8 AirWare™ software is
updated to at least V2.0.

Mount the TM1000 module near the receiver in a position that
allows the 2.5-inch data lead to extend from the receiver’s Data port
to the Data port on the telemetry module. You can use servo tape
to secure the TM1000 module or wrap it in foam with the receiver.
Plug the Data lead into the TM1000 port marked DATA and plug
the other end of the lead into the receiver’s DATA port.

NOTICE: Route and secure the antenna away from any
metallic or conductive materials to give the best range.

Binding the Telemetry
Module and Receiver

1. Using the Bind Stylus press and hold the bind button
on the side of the TM1000 telemetry module.

2. While depressing the bind button, power the receiver.
The main receiver, all attached remote receivers and the
TM1000 telemetry module should blink indicating the
system is in bind mode.

3. With the stick and switches in the desired failsafe
positions (normally low throttle and neutral sticks),
put the transmitter into bind mode.

4. The main screen displays the receiver type. After
several seconds, the system connects and reverts
to the main screen.

5. From the main screen rotate the roller to access the
telemetry screens and verify the flight log data and
altitude and speed readings.

Installation

The optional airspeed indicator is designed to be used on a variety
of aircraft. The Sensor can be mounted internally, with the pitot
tube positioned to point directly into the aircraft’s relative wind for
best results. The Airspeed sensor reads dynamic pressure very
similar to full scaled aircraft. Dynamic pressure is measured
by finding the difference in ram air pressure and
the static pressure.

Note: Different models may need extensive modification
to place the pitot tube in an undisturbed relative wind
location.

Using two lengths of the included small diameter silicone tube, the
pressure and the static connections of the pitot tube connect to the

“+”and“-“portsoftheMicroSensor,respectively,asshowninthe

figure. It is best to mount the pitot tube in your model first, then
determine where you will mount the MicroSensor, and then cut
the two lengths of silicone tube so they reach between the two.
Follow these guidelines when mounting the pitot tube:

1. The pickup end of the pitot tube (the silver colored tip)
should be pointing toward the direction of the model’s
travel. While best results will be obtained if the pitot
tube is perfectly aligned with the direction of travel

inbothaxes.The“Prandtl”designofthetubewill

compensate somewhat for higher angles of attack.

2. The static holes on the pitot tube (figure) should extend
at least ½-inch past the wing’s leading edge, or past
any other obstructions – the farther out, the better.
This is to ensure that the static holes and pitot
pickup are in undisturbed air.

3. For prop planes, it’s important that the tube be
placed so that it is not directly in the planes prop­wash, which will result in erroneous readings. The best
place to install the tube is on the leading edge of the
wing several inches out from the fuselage, as shown
in figure 1.

4.Forjets,gliders,or“pusher”propplanes,thenose

cone often provides a perfect mounting location.

After pitot tube installation, it is recommended that you glue
or otherwise attach the silicone hose to the airframe, to reduce
the chance of a hose vibrating or moving and causing
erroneous readings.

Note: Please make sure your DX8 AirWare software
is updated to at least V2.0.

Anschlußinformationen

Stecken Sie die X- Bus Verlängerung in den
Geschwindigkeitsmesser Sensor und in den X-Bus Port (Anschluß)
des TM1000 Telemetrie Moduls. Der Sensor hat zwei Ports an
die die X-Port Verlängerung angeschlossen werden kann. Nutzen
Sie mehrere Sensor Einheiten ist ein Ketten/Reihen Anschluß
erforderlich. Der Geschwindigkeitsmesser Sensor kann an
beliebiger Stelle in dem Luftfahrzeug eingebaut werden
um die Geschwindigkeit im Display anzuzeigen.

HINWEIS: Bitte stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihre DX8
AirWare™ Software mindestens auf die Version 2.0
(V2.0) aktualisiert wurde.

Montieren Sie das TM1000 Modul in der Nähe des Empfängers,
wie es das 2,5 inch (6,35cm) lange Kabel vom Empfänger zum
Telemetriemodul zuläßt. Sie können zur Befestigung doppelseitiges
Schaumklebeband verwenden oder das Modul in Schaumstoff
einwickeln. Stecken Sie das Datenkabel in den mit DATA
bezeichneten Anschlußport des TM1000 Modul und das andere
Ende in dem mit DATA bezeichneten Anschluß des Empfängers.

HINWEIS: Führen und sichern Sie die Antenne weg von
metallischen oder schirmenden Materialien um die beste
Reichweite zu ermöglichen.

Binden des Telemetriemoduls
und Empfänger

1. Nehmen Sie den Bindestift und drücken und halten
Sie den Bindeknopf auf der Seite des TM1000
Telemetriemoduls gedrückt.

2. Halten Sie den Bindeknopf gerückt und schalten
den Empfänger ein. Der Hauptempfänger, alle
angeschlossenen Satellitenempfänger und das TM1000
Telemetrie Modul sollten blinken und damit anzeigen,
dass sich das System im Bindemodus befindet.

3. Bringen Sie alle Knüppel und Schalter in die
gewünschten Failsafestellungen (normalerweise Gas
auf Leerlauf und neutrale Kontrollen) und bringen
den Sender in den Bindemode.

4. Auf dem Hauptdisplay wird der Empfängertyp
angezeigt. Nach einigen Sekunden wird sich
das System verbinden und zur Anzeige des
Hauptdisplays zurückkehren.

DE

5. Drehen Sie aus dem Hauptdisplay den Roll Druck
Taster um in die Anzeige der Telemetriedaten zu
gelangen und überprüfen die Flight Log Daten,
die Angabe der Höhe und Geschwindigkeit.

Einbau

Der optionale Geschwindigkeitsmesser ist für verschiedene
Arten von Luftfahrzeugen entwickelt worden. Der Sensor kann
innen eingebaut werden mit dem Staurohr (Pitotrohr) direkt
in den Fahrwind gerichtet für die besten Ergebnisse. Der
Geschwindigkeitssensor liest wie bei einem echten Flugzeug
den dynamischen Luftdruck. Der dynamische Druck wird
durch den Unterschied der Staudruckluft und des
statischen Luftdruck ermittelt.

HINWEIS: Bei verschiedenen Modellen können
umfangreiche Umbauarbeiten notwendig sein, um das
Staudruckrohr (Pitotrohr) in eine ungestörte Position im
Fahrtwind zu montieren modification to place the pitot
tube in an undisturbed relative wind location.

Nutzen Sie die zwei verschieden langen dünnen Silikonschläuche
aus dem Lieferumfang um die beiden Anschlüsse des statischen
Druck und Staudruck an die + und – Anschlüsse des
Microsensors wie auf dem Foto abgebildet anzuschließen. Es
empfiehlt sich das Staudruckrohr (Pitotrohr) als erstes einzubauen
und danach den Einbauort des Microsensors zu ermitteln.
Schneiden Sie dann die beiden Schläuche in passende Längen.
Bitte folgen Sie diesen Richtlinien bei Einbau des Staudruckrohrs:
Haben Sie das Staudruckrohr (Pitotrohr) eingebaut, ist es
angebracht, dass Sie den Silikonschlauch am Rumpf befestigen
oder festkleben um Bewegungen oder die Übermittlung falscher
Werte zu vermeiden.

HINWEIS: Bitte stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihre DX8
AirWare™ Software mindestens auf die Version 2.0
(V2.0) aktualisiert wurde.

1. Das silberfarbende Ende des Staudruckrohr (Pitotrohr)
sollte für die besten Ergebnisse direkt auf beiden
Achsen ausgemittelt in der Flugrichtung des Modells
liegen. Das Prandtl Design des Rohres kompensiert
hier etwas höhere Anstellwinkel.
