Cannot figure how to set up and connect the new HTS - SS Blue Sensor Station and HTS - Voltage Sensor to my Optima 7 Rx.

1. Does the T -Clip attach to the ESC leads, and if so, the + or - lead?

2. To what is the 3 colored twisted wire attached to?

3. To what is the 3 colored wire with black connectors attached to?

4. How is the Station powered?

5. How is the Station connected to the Rx?

Thx for your help, waldo

. Refer to attached jpg and inserted comments..
An alternative to using the crocodule clip for temporary or soldering it in for "permanent" use,
is to replace clip with bullet connectors, refer Post #10 below.

.Voltage not Displayed for GP Model or Opto BEC?
Hitec/MPX de advise:
"Connect a wire between negative battery wire and negative pin of receiver.
Pay attention that the wire is going to suppress the optocoupler protection of my opto HV esc
(galvanic break up)." see also preceding posts #19009 & #19012.

HTS-SS Advance - most recent Sensor Station.
Incorporates HTS-SS Blue features and more.
Refer attached manual for connection pictorial.

OK, thx, that is helpful. I will try to connect when I learn where to attach T Clip.

Got it . Thx. waldo

Is there any way to calibrate the voltage and current readings?

Not at present.

Alan - does the Voltage Alligator Clip need to penetrate the ESC batt. lead insulation or can it just be clipped to the lead without actually touching the bare wire?

An additonal picture has been added to post #2 above.
. Bare the lead to allow good connection with crocodile clip.
. Best result will be obtained by soldering that lead as
vibration, dirt or corrosion could impact on reading.
. Insulate joint with self amalgamating tape or similar.

What I did was solder onto my ESC bullet connector a small 2mm bullet female lead. Then heatshrink wrap the ESC bullet connector as usual which also provides strain relief for the voltage telemetry lead. Then I converted the voltage sensor with the matching 2mm male bullet connector. It makes a good connection that is still removable and is very streamline.

I did not consider the alligator clip because I think it would just be too clunky and, more importantly, could fall off. I use the voltage telemetry to let me know when to land so having it come off wouldn't be good on my Logo 600.

Guys, thx for your input.

Hallo, I have one problem ... I have Volcano full carbon from Valenta. I need to place receiver deep inside the plane. It is possible to do update through hts-ss telemetry module? Using power connector.
Tnx

Tnx, but it is not my situation ... I have rx deep inside my plane and telemetry station is connected ... it is not possible to connect programmer to rx. It is not possible to disconnect telemetry station ...
