01 Product Introduction
This adapter is suitable for Platinum V4/4.1/5, XERUN, EZRUN series with data backhaul function. By connecting the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) to a telemetry-capable receiver (such as those supporting Futaba, FrSky, or JETI protocols) via this adapter, real-time ESC status data can be transmitted back to the corresponding transmitter (e.g., Futaba, FrSky, JETI) for display.
02 Instruction Manual
1 The wiring diagram
Diagram showing connections between Electronic Speed Controller, Telemetry Adapter, and Receiver.
- Connect the ESC port (usually identified as "-+ P") to the "-P" side of the adapter;
- Connect the adapter's "- + T" terminals to the telemetry channel of a receiver supporting Futaba, FrSky, or JETI telemetry;
- Connect the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC) throttle signal wire to the throttle channel of the receiver.
Note: The input Voltage of the adapter is 5-12V; The "-P" port does not provide power to the adapter.
2 The parameter setting method
Diagram illustrating the wiring for parameter setting: LCD Program BOX connected to the Telemetry Adapter, and the Telemetry Adapter connected to a Battery.
- According to the image above, connect the adapter and the LCD program box; (The "- P" side of the adapter should be connected to the LCD programming box, the "- + T" side of the adapter should be connected to both the LCD programming box and a power supply (2s lipo recommended).
- Press the "OK" key upon connecting the program box. After the connection is successful, the current firmware version number will be displayed;
- After adjusting the parameters on interface, press the "ITEM" key to browse through parameter items, press the "VALUE" key to change the value of the parameter;
- Once after the setting value has been changed, press the "OK" key to save the setting;
- Repeat the third and fourth steps to modify the settings of other parameters;
- After the parameter settings are completed, disconnect the adapter from the battery, power up again to see if the parameters are current.
