Installing the Sensors
Your Sensor radio system comes with several sensors that you can install in your vehicle and
connect to the transceiver. When properly installed and connected, these sensors will send
information back to the Sensor so that you can monitor the readings while you drive.
Receiver Battery Sensor
The transceiver monitors the receiver battery voltage from the POWER receptacle. There is no
installation necessary for this sensor.
Voltage Sensor
The voltage sensor is used to monitor the voltage of a separate battery pack (for example, an
electric car’s main battery pack). I n a Nitro car, this sensor is not needed.
1. Connect the RED wire of voltage sense to the positive
terminal of your battery pack and the BLACK wire of the
voltage sense to the negative terminal of the battery pack
you want to monitor.
2. Carefully route, protect, and secure the sensor wires.
3. Plug the voltage sensor into the BATT receptacle.
Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature
of a vehicle component such as a main battery pack, electric
motor, or nitro engine.
I nstallation
The tip of the triangular temperature sensor is the active
measuring element. I nstall the sensor so that this tip is
pressed against the item whose temperature you wish to
measure.
The sensor has been designed to be thin enough to fit between the fins on a heat sink. Two
sets of holes are provided to wire-tie the sensor in place if desired. Alternately, a high-
temperature epoxy may be used to secure the sensor.
When installing on a nitro motor, place the sensor as low as possible on the head, opposite
the exhaust port. The sensor may also be installed on an electric motor, battery pack, or ESC
heat sink.
