Spektrum's JetCat Telemetry Interface
 

I have been using telemetry in my giants for a couple years. When I built the jet, I kind of felt naked w/o it. But, I want to keep things simple on the first jet.

Today, I had the turbine set up on the bench and I decided to plug in the TM-1000 and the new Spektrum JetCat Telemetry Interface. After rebinding and then doing a relearn, I fired up the jet. Once it was started, the JetCat Telemetry screen showed all the pertinent info (i.e. RPM, Operational Status, pump voltage, Battery voltage, etc. etc.). I set up an alarm on the Flameout. I also added a voltage tap into the AR 9210 Power Distribution Module ( PowerBox Evolution) and am monitoring servo system voltage. I added an alarm to that also.

The setup was flawless and very easy. All you have to do is move the TM-1000's connection to the Rxer to the data port, plug the Interface into the Tm-1000's X-bus, and then bind in the TM-1000 with the interface attached to the turbine's Interface port. Start the thing up and scroll over to the JetCat Telemetry screen on the transmitter.

Could this be set up on a twin also? Currently slapping together a A-10 and the flame out warning would be a good setting to have.

That is a question you might want to try running by Andy Kunz on the Spectrum Radio &Transmitter page. If he is not the guy to answer your question, he can probably point you in the right direction. I know I can't answer it with certainty. But, ... Given the telemetry display screen I have seen, I am not sure how a second set of data would display. Also, once you select "JetCat" on the Telemetry setup screen, I am not sure how you could select it again because, your are not offered the option to select it a second time. But, the question is worth asking Andy.

Thank you for the information.
Could you please tell me where i could possibly find the Spectrum page so I can ask Andy.
If in the case it's not possible maybe they can bring it out on an update or on a new device hopefully.

The only thing I haven't figured out with this setup is, when I do a calibration run on my 140rx I have to unplug the telemetry and plug in the Gsu. It would be nice to be able to do it without unplugging the module.

Maybe a Y harness. But no telling how things would react! :)

Actually, I think they did a nice job of keeping the sensor install Quick & Dirty. And the Setup of the transmitter is a no brainer.

We are talking about this unit correct???

Yep. I tired to make that a little bit more clear. But the RCU server was not responding, when I tried to add a quote. Things are getting Slowwwwwwwwwwww at RCU.

Old thread, same problem. Has anyone tried to build a Y harness that allows plugging in the GSU without unplugging the telemetry module yet?

I use these.

Thank you, Len.
That makes a very clean setup.
