[About the TL Logo]
■ TLS1-PWR Main Unit
Power Source Side
Battery Side
1. Connect the TLS1-PWR main unit IN side to the battery, and connect the TLS1-PWR OUT side to the regulator or to the
receiver.
2a. When connecting multiple sensors:
Connect the regulator output or the output from the TLS1-PWR to the TLS1-ADP (multi-adapter).
Also connect the sensor communications harness of the TLS1-PWR to the TLS1-ADP.
Connect the cable from the TLS1-ADP to DATA/BATT/SENS on the receiver.
2b. When the TLS1-PWR is the only sensor to be connected:
Connect the regulator output or the output from the TLS1-PWR to a terminal other than DATA/BATT/SENS on the
receiver.
Connect the TLS1-PWR sensor communications harness to the DATA/BATT/SENS (BIND/DATA) terminal on the receiver.
After confirming the wiring connections, fix the main unit using double-sided tape in a location where it will not be
affected by vibration. The above procedure completes the installation.

・By simultaneously measuring the voltage and current, the current electric
power output and total power consumption can be calculated.
・A power sensor that has a 1usec high speed response and a temperature
correcting function is incorporated to enable measurement with a fast
response.
・An operation confirmation LED is incorporated which has high visibility.

This product is a sensor connected between the receiver and the
battery which mainly measures the current consumed by the
servos and gyros.
It can also be used with electric-powered models (4s LiPo max.)
that have electric motors as their main motive power source.
In the situation where a large current that is greater than the
rated value flows continuously, measurement errors will become
large.
Because the consumed current will differ according to the flying
style, refer to the explanation below as a rough guide.

Confirm the screen display on the transmitter.
In the situation where an alarm setting is provided in the
transmitter s [TELEMETRY] function, it will be possible to set
the setting value so that an alarm will sound if the setting value
conditions occurs.
For the method of setting the alarm function, please confirm
each transmitter operation manual.

[Be certain to remove the bind plug before using the equipment]
In the situation when using a receiver such as the RG831B that requires
the use of a bind plug for binding, the bind plug must be removed
after completing the binding prosess otherwise the two-way
communications data will not be displayed on the transmitter.
Be certain to remove the bind plug before use.
