SPMA9575 AIRCRAFT TELEMETRY

ALTITUDE SENSOR USER GUIDE

The Spektrum SPMA9575 Aircraft Telemetry Altitude sensor

is compatible with the Spektrum™ TM1000 Telemetry Module

X-BUS expansion port.

Specifications

Type: SPMA9575 Aircraft Telemetry Altitude Sensor

Measures: -10,000 – 10,000 ft with 3 ft resolution (1 meter)

Operational Voltage: 3.5 to 9.6 volts

Dimensions: 28mm x 16mm x 10mm

Weight: Circuit board - 4 gram

Calibration: No user calibration required

Units: Metric or English units

Items Included

  •Sensor •6”X-BUSextension

Hook Up Information

Insert the X-BUS extension into the Altitude 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 Altitude sensor can be installed anywhere inside

the aircraft for altitude to display on the 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 Altitude Sensor is designed to easily install in any

aircraft application. The accuracy of the Altitude Sensor depends

on sampling still ambient air pressure. This measurement

determines the height of the aircraft vertically. It is important

the static pressure sampling is not disturbed.

Note: Installing Altitude Sensor into aircraft cowlings,

ram air intake for cooling, or in aircraft that travel at high

speeds may give erroneous reading because of

pressure differential.
