Installation

1. Use servo tape to mount the TM1500 Telemetry Module near the receiver in a position that allows the included 2.5-inch data lead to extend from the receiver to the INPUT port on the telemetry module.
2. Plug the Data lead into the TM1500 port marked INPUT and plug the other end into the BIND port on the receiver.
3. Install any telemetry sensors.

IMPORTANT: The TM1500 antenna's position significantly affects telemetry range. For improved telemetry range, mount the antenna as high as practical (an antenna tube works well) with the 31 mm exposed tip in a vertical position.

Binding

1. Push and hold the bind button on the TM1500 Telemetry Module while powering on the receiver. Once the LEDs on the TM1500 and receiver start blinking, indicating the system is in BIND mode, release the BIND button.
2. Place the transmitter in BIND mode.
3. The LEDs stop blinking when the Bind is complete.
4. Telemetry is now available on the transmitter.

Refer to the Spektrum transmitter manual for telemetry settings.

Voltage Sensor

• Attach the black and red wires (stripped ends) to the (−) Negative (Black) and (+) Positive (Red) wires of the voltage source. Typically, you would solder the wires to the battery connector.
• Plug the voltage sensor (SPMA9570A) into the VOLT port on the TM1500.

Temperature Sensor

• Plug the Temperature Sensor (SPMA9571) into the TEMP port on the TM1500.
• NITRO/GAS: Loop the wire around the head of the engine, snugging the plastic sleeve to secure the wire. The mounting position on nitro/gas engines will result in different temperature readings. Experiment with different positions on the engine head for best results.
• ELECTRIC: Loop the wire around a battery pack or electric motor and secure it with tape.
