EXP

The EXP-AVM is a digital altimeter and variometer. It uses advanced silicon sensor technologies to measure the altitude and its variation based on the changing air pressure.

It is an ideal instrument for sailplanes to detect upwinds and for towplanes to know when they reached the desired altitude above ground.

The EXP-AVM can be connected to any TXE by using the IISI-Link! Parameter settings are done using the Cockpit.


Features:

  1. -Altitude in meters above and below starting point (1m resolution)

  2. -Variation in altitude in m/s (0.1m/s resolution)

  3. -Alarm 1: altitude above programmed level

  4. -Alarm 2: altitude below programmed level (negative altitude)

  5. -Parameter 1: rising threshold (>0.1m/s)

  6. -Parameter 2: falling threshold (<-0.1m/s)

  7. -Programmable behavior: fast response, slow & precise

  8. -Different beep types for rising and falling speed

  9. -Automatic calibration for start altitude

  10. -Firmware upgradable through Cockpit

  11. -Size: 32 x 18 x 5mm

  12. -Weight: 4g

  13. -Needs Cockpit Software V1.05 or later, download see here.

The T4 monitors up to 4 temperatures and provides individual alarms for each sensor.


Features:

  1. -Supports 1 to 4 TS60 temperature sensors

  2. -Min. and max. alarms

  3. -4 Sensor names (4 characters)

  4. -Sensor temperature range: -31ºC to +125ºC

  5. -Weight: 4g

  6. -Size: 33 x 18 x 8mm


Needs 1 to 4 TS60 sensors (not included)

The EXP-RPM is a measures rotation speed of brushless motors and - with additionally available sensors - any other rotating propeller or device. It calculates even gear ratios, e.g. in helicopters, so you can see on your Cockpit the true headspeed! A massiv improvement in safety, regarding to a manual metering close to the rotor blades!


Features:

  1. -Brushless motor poles (2-99)

  2. -Prop blades (1-99)

  3. -Gear ratio: none to 25.5 : 1

  4. -Sensor type: Brushless or magnetic/optical

  5. -Firmware upgradable through Cockpit

  6. -Size: 25 x 13 x 4mm

  7. -Weight: 5g

  8. -Needs Cockpit Software V1.08 or later, download see here.

7-12S possible with 2x LIPO6!

The BM2 has been designed for widely used dual receiver battery monitoring. It insures that the pilot is alerted if any one of the 2 receiver batteries falls below a critical voltage. You also can observe the BEC voltage.


Features:

  1. -Measures voltage of 2 receiver batteries:

    - Battery 1: 3-9V

    - Battery 2: 0-9V

  1. -Directly connects to 2S Lipo balancer port or Futaba/JR standard connectors (configurable)

  2. -2 programmable low voltage alarm per battery:

    - Start voltage (during first 30 seconds)

    - Flight voltage

  1. -Standby mode

  2. -Indicates battery voltage using LED

  3. -Firmware updates

  4. -Weight: 4.5g

  5. -Size: 36 x 20 x 6mm


How to install the BM2

  1. -Needs Cockpit Software V1.05 or later, download see here.

The EXP-ACC-3D measure g-acceleration in all

3 dimensions (X,Y,Z).

It detects acceleration up to +/- 24g and is based on a MEMS sensor.


Install the EXP-ACC flat in your model, so that the plane on the EXP-ACC-3D represents your model, seen from the top.


Features:

  1. -Up to +/-24g, 3 axis

  2. -Resolution 0.1g

  3. -Sampling frequency 100Hz

  10. -More information

The EXP-GATEWAY provides an interface to many MSB (Multiplex Sensor Bus) devices. First applications are GPS speed sensors from SM Modellbau and Multiplex. Future software updates will allow the usage of IISI EXP sensors on any MSB compatible telemetry system.


Please note: GPS sensors need more power than the IISI-Link can provide. The MSB must be powered separately, e.g. from the receiver.


Features:

  1. -Connect a MSB based GPS sensor to your IISI System

  2. -Configuration through Cockpit

  3. -Future software updates will link EXP sensors to the MSB

  4. -Maps automatically speed, altitude and rise/sink rate to the IISI

  5. -Firmware upgradable through Cockpit
