2 Applic tions
IISI is telemetry b sed b ttery m n gement concept for electric lly powered RC models. It ssists the pilot in n
efficient w y during the flight or run bout the b ttery st te (fuel g uge). When the b ttery becomes ne rly empty, the
pilot is informed bout it n c n l nd s fely, without stress. This ensures lso longer life of the b tteries.
The IISI System is speci lly designed for models with LiPo b tteries, independent of the model type (pl ne, helicopter,
ship or c r).
The inst ll tion nd configur tion of the IISI System is extremely simple, while experienced users c n configure it
individu lly for their needs (voice output, l rms, screen definitions, …)
Multiple IISI systems c n be used t the s me time – there’s no ch nnel selection necess ry.
The IISI system gives you multiple dv nt ges:
Before the flight:
Autom tic check of b ttery st te – no st rts without fully ch rged b tteries
Recognizes multiple flights with the s me model nd b ttery: Full control when you fly g in with p rti lly
disch rged b ttery – even if you h ve used other models during th t time.
Full control over current consumption, power, volt ge, temper ture, cell volt ge levels ( ddition l p rts needed)
During the flight:
Displ y rem ining flight time (e.g. for multicopters), d t v il ble fter bout 15s!
Fully progr mm ble voice output:
oB ttery is low (c lcul ted rem ining c p city, not only volt ge level b sed)
oToo low b ttery volt ge
oM ximum current or m ximum temper ture1 exceeded
oCritic l volt ge or volt ge drift of cells detected2 (b l ncing)
Shows / nnounces current, volt ge, power, rem ining c p city, etc. (gr phic l nd numeric), now lso
controll ble with switch on your r dio (using TXG1/2 V2RC or EXP-RC-LINK)
Autom ted voice ouput for volt ge s g, current pe k, speed records, m x. ltitude
Shows tot l flight time nd tot l motor run time
Current nd m ximum temper ture*
Al rms, when pre-defined v lues re exceeded
E.g. speed tr ining with ddition l EXP modules, indic te position nd flight direction
After the flight (inform tion rem ins visible) / in gener l:
Shows lowest b ttery volt ge nd highest current during the flight
Used / rem ining c p city
Tot l flight time (of current flight, or of tot l flights)
Number of flights (progr mm ble flight counters, flights per d y)
D t logger, stores directly re d ble .csv files on the microSD c rd
IISI helps you to choose the best b ttery fit reg rding current (C-r ting) nd flight time. Don’t c rry too he vy
b tteries within your model
No off-field l ndings nymore due to empty b tteries
Longer b ttery life s deep disch rge is efficiently voided
Use LogView Studio, D t Explorer or Excel to visu lize log d t ; visu lize GPS d t on Google E rth ®

3 First steps
The IISI Telemetry System works with so-c lled TXEs, which combine current sensor, volt ge sensor, c p city
me surement nd telemetry tr nsmitter in one p rt. The TXEs re built fix into model (pl ne, helicopter, bo t, c r, …)
nd deliver re l time d t for current, volt ge, c p city, flight time, etc.
The Cockpit V2 is the telemetry receiver which serves s displ y, voice output, stor ge of flight d t nd much more.
Further, the n me “Cockpit” is used.
3.1 The IISI-Link
E ch IISI Product communic te with the IISI link. This interf ce uses the st nd rd 3pole connectors, s used for servos,
etc. The IISI link h s the following functions:
P iring, configur tion of ll TXEs nd EXPs
Connection of single temper ture sensor (TS60), if no other EXPs re connected
Connection of one or more (up to 4) EXPs (use Y c bles to connect more th n one EXP)
Please note that in spite of the similar connectors and cables, no servos, receivers, etc. are allowed to be connected to
the IISI-Link! Connect only IISI products to the IISI link!
The IISI Cockpit recognizes utom tic lly if TXE or n EXP is connected to it’s IISI link for configur tion.
Important
If you connect a TXE, TXG1 or an EXP to the Cockpit, it is powered through the Cockpit (with some exceptions)
Connect only one EXP or TXE at a time to the Cockpit. More than one EXP / TXE connected through a Y-cable
won’t work.
EXP-LIPO6/BM2 These are OPTO products and need to be powered (connected to a battery on the balancer /
bat1 connector), otherwise, the Cockpit cannot communicate with them.
3.2 Pairing
In order to logic lly connect your TXE with your Cockpit, you need to p ir them first. Without this procedure, the IISI
Cockpit c nnot recognize your TXE. This llows using multiple IISI systems t the s me time.
The TXE nd TXG1c nnot be connected directly to the Cockpit’s IISI-Link. Use the progr mming c ble included with
your Cockpit.
If p iring is needed, it is shown on the screen. This is n utom tic process. Be sure th t none of your other TXEs is
powered on during th t time. After p iring, you will get directly into the configur tion menu.
Note: EXPs do not need to be p ired with the Cockpit. Only if you need to set p r meters on the EXP, you h ve to
connect them to the Cockpit. EXP-LIPOx nd BM2 need to be powered by b ttery for this.
3.3 Setting arameters on TXE, TXG1/2, TXE-K and EXP
Cert in settings need to be done on the TXE or EXP directly. To do this, simply connect the TXE/TXG1, TXE-K to the
Cockpit with the included progr mming c ble. The EXPs c n be directly connected to the Cockpit.
The menu for the connected device is utom tic lly st rted. Ple se note th t the Cockpit must be w ke to recognize
connected device.
In the TXE, you need to set model n me, the def ult c p city, b ttery type nd l rm levels. See more det ils bout
this in the ch pter Configur tion of the TXE.
After this, the system is re dy nd you c n st rt flying.
3.4 Registering
When model is powered on, the TXE n lyses the connected b ttery nd tr nsmits inform tion to the Cockpit.
Depending on your b ttery (full or not full), the Cockpit will register the TXE directly nd st rt its norm l oper tion (full
IISI COCKPIT V2 User M nu l www.iisi-rc.com P ge 6 of 44

b ttery), or it will sk you wh t to do (not full b ttery). To help you bit with this, the Cockpit cont ins b ttery st te
estim tor, which llows you to guess how much is still in there.
This process is c lled registering.
IMPORTANT: Only correct TXE settings llow the correct oper tion nd norm l registering.
3.5 Flying with different models
The Cockpit cre tes one memory pl ce per model (per TXE or TXG1) on the microSD c rd in the folder /CFG. The
memory pl ce c rries the s me n me you’ve given to your model, stored in the TXE. Th t’s why it’s import nt you give
every model different n me. The TXEs V2 (second gener tion) c n be upd ted to V3.x with the Cockpit. This gives
you 8 ch r cters for model n me, inste d of 4 with older TXEs.
Every memory pl ce, n med “configur tion”, cont ins model specific settings for screen definition (YES, the screen c n
be person lized!), voice output (how often, nd when), l rms, vibr l rm, etc. This me ns you c n p r meterize nd
d pt the screen(s) the w y you w nt them look for every different model. Decide how much it t lks, nd t which levels
l rms re triggered.
All v lues you ch nged re referencing to the selected configur tion. On the lower border of the screen you c n lw ys
see the model n me (which is lso the configur tion n me). After switching on the Cockpit, the st nd rd configur tion
“DEFAULT_” will be lo ded. When you switch on e.g. your model c lled “HELI_5”, the configur tion “HELI_5___” is
lo ded.
When you ch nge something in the current configur tion, the n me will be printed inversed, letting you know th t you
should s ve it. By clicking on the configur tion n me, you c n s ve it on the microSD c rd.
Here you c n lso lo d n existing configur tion nd modify it without switching on the model.
The model is automatically loaded in the Cockpit as soon as a model is switched on. There’s no manual load or model
change needed!

4 B sic oper tion
Switch on and off: Switch your Cockpit on by pressing shortly on the button, loc ted t the top side of the Cockpit. By
pressing it for bout 1 second, you c n switch it off. Holding it for longer time ( bout 10s) will reset the Cockpit nd
rest rt it.
The touch screen is of „resistive type“, which me ns, it needs slight mech nic l pressure to oper te correctly. The
following ctions re possible:
-„Click“: T p on specific point on the screen to trigger n ction, rel ted with the displ yed d t below.
-„Push“: push longer time on specific point on the screen to show the options v il ble for the displ yed d t
below.
-„Horizont l wipe“: from right to left or vice vers , to ch nge screens. St rt the wipe with slight pressure nd
continue to press slightly until the end, moving your finger with moder te speed.
-„Vertic l wipe“: S me s bove, but in vertic l direction. This is for incre se / decre se volume nd to scroll in
settings menues.
-„Di gon l wipe“: Wipe from one corner to the opposite one (it doesn’t m tter where you st rt). This brings the
Cockpit into the settings menu. You le ve the settings menu the s me w y you entered it.
On the left side, you c n connect n e rphone (3.5mm j ck) or other udio devices. The spe ker will be switched off
then.
On the right side, you c n find the mini USB connector, which llows ch rging the Cockpit’s b ttery. You c n use ny
USB ch rger with t le st 500mA of current c p bility. The Cockpit h s ch rging controller which regul tes current etc.
The USB interf ce llows lso to communic te with the Cockpit (microSD c rd). It cont ins udio, configur tion nd log
d t . The Cockpit beh ves like m ss stor ge device (memory stick). We recommend you to do regul r b ckups of the
CFG nd LOG d t on your computer.
With your PC (or M c, Linux, …), you c n delete, copy, form t etc. s usu l. You shouldn’t ch nge the d t yourself, it
m y result in str nge beh vior of the Cockpit. Alw ys eject the drive before removing the USB connection. Should the
microSD c rd become unre d ble, you m y h ve to reform t it nd copy the udio d t to it g in.
The 3pin connector is the IISI-Link. It serves to configure TXEs nd EXPs nd s n interf ce for softw re upd te to
these devices.
NEVER connect volt ge supply to the IISI-Link, it will destroy p rts in the Cockpit, the TXE or the EXPs!
4.1 Dis lay

IMPORTANT: Should you use EXPs nd you h ve no rel ting field displ yed nywhere on your screens, some fields
th t re rel ted to this EXP re dded. For ex mple: If you use EXP-LIPO7, nd no cell volt ge field is displ yed
nywhere, these fields re utom tic lly dded when the TXE + EXP is registered. If you like, to c n modify these
settings then nd s ve the configur tion. Next time, you will see your screens ex ctly the s me w y s you s ved them.
4.2 Changing values
The h ndling of the Cockpit is gener lly “context sensitive”: Should you ch nge something rel ted to current, go to the
screen th t displ ys the current nd push on this field. You will see the options to select from, like l rm levels, voice
output, zoom, etc. Speci l settings like n mes for temper ture sensors, zeroing ltitude etc. re selected by using the
wrench symbol.
One exception is the Cockpit’s settings menu. It is entered nd exited by wiping di gon lly over the screen.
4.2.1 Voice out ut
Princip lly, you c n only he r v lues which re lso displ yed on one of the m x. 8 screens. It doesn’t m tter if the
screen is ctu lly displ yed or not. Ex mple: Should your screen show full screen fuel g uge, the v lues for current,
volt ge, power, etc. which re loc ted on nother screen, will nyw y be nnounced.
The voice output h s no fixed scheme. You c n person lize it in wide r nge. Depending on their v lue (current,
volt ge, ltitude, speed) you m y select specific options to ctiv te the voice output controlled on time b se, or rel ted
to the v lues.
V lues, which re outside the l rm level, re nnounced norm lly, while v lues which re “under l rm” will be
nnounced s “critic l”.
The time interv ls for norm l or critic l nnouncements c n be individu lly progr mmed, s well s trigger levels for
v lue-controlled nnouncements. You lso c n choose to set them to silent.
Voice output settings re modified by pushing on the v lue field nd then selecting the “mouth” icon.
Time interv l controlled nnouncements:
“Speech every 60s”: The nnouncement will be repe ted every 60 seconds, if the v lue is outside the l rm level. The
time c n be progr mmed individu lly or switched off.
“Announce when critic l 10s”: The nnouncement will be repe ted ll 10 seconds, if the v lue is inside the l rm level.
The time c n be progr mmed individu lly or switched off.
V lue-controlled nnouncements:
“At ch nge of 50A”: You will he r the nnouncement of the current, when the v lue h s ch nged t le st by 50Amps
since the l st nnouncement (or meters, degrees, volts, etc. depending on the v lues). The level c n be progr mmed
individu lly or switched off.
Specific v lue-controlled nnouncements re described below.
4.3 Alarm levels
Alarm levels are exclusively stored in the model configuration, located on the SD card of the Cock it. Alarm
values of TXE and EXPs are ignored! The V2.10 software su orts you during this change, should you still use
“Alarms on TXE” settings.
Exce tion: The default ca acity is still located on TXE or EXP-LIPOx.
Ch nge l rm levels by pushing on the desired v lue then select the l rm bell. The rrow shows if it is n l rm level
for exceeding (up) or f lling below v lue (down). Sometimes, both re possible. In the l rm settings m sk you c n
then modify the l rms, sounds, vibr , repe ts, etc.
Al rm settings re stored in the .CFG file of e ch model.

6 Cre te configur tion / lo d configur tion
Every model h s its own configur tion. The n me stored in the TXE is used for identific tion. When you power up
p ired TXE the first time, the Cockpit will sk you to select either the st nd rd configur tion (DEFAULT_) or copy one of
the existing ones (th t you m y h ve cre ted e rlier). After this, the Cockpit stores the configur tion under its new n me
(of the TXE). The lo ded configur tion is shown t the lower p rt of the screen (red zone). If a model is switched on,
the corresponding configuration is automatically loaded, if it is already present.
When the n me of the configur tion is displ yed reversed, the configur tion d t h s been ch nged nd needs to be

When you click on the configur tion n me, you c n choose between s ving (SAVE) or lo ding n existing configur tion
(LOAD). When you lo d configur tion, you c n edit it nd s ve it fterw rds, e.g. for offline modific tions t home,
without powering up the model.
You c n choose if modified configur tions re utom tic lly stored or if you w nt to do this yourself. (see Adv nced

8 Voice output settings
The voice output c n be customized to fit ex ctly your need of inform tion during the flight.
Only v lues which re shown on one of the screens will be nnounced. Otherwise, even if the module tr nsmits these
v lues, but they re not displ yed nywhere, will not be nnounced.
Any ch nge on the voice outputs reg rding v lue (e.g. current) is done by pushing on the corresponding field. Then
select the mouth symbol to get to the nnouncement m sk:
The inversed fields h ve the following functions:
-AKTIVE (or SILENT): The nnouncement is ctiv ted or muted.
-“Announce norm l every 60S”: The nnouncement for current is done every 60 seconds, if not bove the l rm
level. (OFF me ns no timely controlled nnouncement).
-“Announce when critic l 10s”: The nnouncement for current is done every 10 seconds, if current is bove the
l rm level. (OFF me ns no timely controlled nnouncement).
-“At ch nge of 12.0A”: If the current ch nges by 12Amps (since the l st nnouncement), new nnouncement is
triggered.
-Announce pe k current: If the current goes bove this v lue, the current is nnounced, when the current f lls
below this v lue, or when the time window expires, wh tever h ppens first. It is lw ys the m ximum current
nnounced which is me sured during the ctive period. Ple se note you c n do the s me on volt ge drops in
the “volt ge” field.
-CANC quits nd c ncels your ch nges
-OK quits nd confirms your settings. You m y w nt to s ve then the configur tion to m ke these ch nges
perm nent.
-SAVE stores the nnouncement settings in the model configur tion. You c n choose if the settings should be
stored only in the now lo ded configur tion or for ll existing models. This is useful for e.g. dis bling n
unw nted nnouncement for ll models.
Different v lues h ve lso different speech control settings:
8.1 Remaining ca acity
The rem ining c p city voice output c n ne controlled on time interv l b sis nd/or b sed on % ge steps.
When both options re ctiv ted, you m y here repe ted nnouncement.
Addition lly to the time interv l controlled nnouncement, you c n choose:
-„Norm l ll 10%“: While the rem ining c p city is bove the l rm threshold level (e.g. 20%) the rem ining
c p city is nnounced ll 10% steps (so 90, 80, 70, …)
-„Critic l ll 5%“: As soon s the reserve c p city level h s been re ched (set in the l rm settings), the
nnouncements re m de ll 5% steps, st rting from the l rm level . Ex mple: 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, 0%.

Ple se note: If l rm nd nnouncement should be triggered t the s me v lue (e.g. 20%), it c n be th t the
nnouncement is not triggered lthough it shows lre dy 20%. This is due to rounding (when the c p city is e.g. 20.4%)
8.2 Altitude announcement
The nnouncement for ltitude h s speci l settings:
The first 3 lines beh ve s usu l (timely controlled, or t ch nge of ltitude since the l st nnouncement).
-“Ann. fter strong ch nge On”: After strong rise or f ll, the ltitude is nnounced (e.g. fter cutting off your
motor of the glider). C n be switched off.
-„Ann. when re ched Off“: You c n progr m n ltitude here. When this ltitude is re ched, the nnouncement is
triggered (e.g. 300m)
8.3 Vario sounds
The v rio sounds h ve no voice output. Inste d of them, you c n set the p r meters for the v rio sounds here. The
v rio sounds frequency c n be modified in Adv nced Settings.
These p r meters re ct s follow:
-„Rising limit: Off “ V rio sounds re pl yed s soon s rising is detected. Set limit v lue here (e.g. 50cm/s) in
order to suppress v rio sounds from 0 – 49cm/s.
-„Sinken b:“ S me, but for sinking r tes.
-„Don’t’ beep bove Off“: When off, v rio sounds re produced for ny rise/sink r tes. Should you w nt to
suppress them t high v lues (e.g. when doing crob tics or if you use your motor to climb), you c n set limit
here (e.g. 500cm/s), so th t bove 5m/s rise/sink r te, v rio sounds re suppressed.
PLEASE NOTE: Ple se upd te your EXP-AVM to the l test softw re version for correct oper tion! (V3.x)
8.4 S eed announcements
The nnouncements for speed c n be controlled timely s usu l.
Further, IISI provides you very innov tive tool for speed tr ining:
-„Store top speed > 150km/h“: Above the chosen v lue, top speed me surement is ctiv ted. The f stest speed
is stored tempor rily.
IISI COCKPIT V2 User M nu l www.iisi-rc.com P ge 16 of 44

-„Announce top speed 50km/h“: Below the chosen v lue, the top speed me surement is termin ted nd the
f sted speed of the ctu l tri l (see bove) is nnounced (the 3 most recent top speed results re visible in the
speed v lue field). This will lso reset the top speed me surement fe ture.
Hint: If you w nt speed nnouncement bove cert in speed, you c n do the following:
Set the “ nnounce when critic l” to short time, e.g. 3s. Then go to the speed l rm settings nd set the l rm to the
desired limit (e.g. 150km/h) nd switch the l rm to OFF. Now, you’ll he r speed nnouncements every 3 seconds when
your model m kes over 150km/h.

9 Al rms
Tr dition lly, l rms in the IISI System were stored in the sensors nd re tr nsmitted to the Cockpit. This is no more
the c se with Version V2.10: All l rms re stored on the cockpit in the model configur tion file (.CFG). Al rm levels c n
be modified during the flight s well.
If you lre dy h d configured the l rm levels “on Cockpit”, you don’t need to do nything. Otherwise, you’ll be sked to
verify ll l rms of ll your models in the cockpit (c n be c ncelled).
Very import nt: E rlier, before V2.10, both c p city l rm level (e.g. 20%) nd volt ge l rm (e.g. 3.3V) h d been stored
on the TXE.
The w y how l rms re set re identic l for ll v lues. Every v lue h s its own l rm level, some v lues h ve 2 l rm
levels (e.g. over- nd under temper ture).
Push on the v lue field to show the icons with the v il ble options nd select the l rm bell. The rrow shows if the
l rm level is for going over (up) or going below (down). All l rm v lues re set in the l rm menu:
As n ex mple we show the ltitude l rm settings:
By clicking on the l rm bell, you get to the m sk “Al rm settings”:
-“Sound”: Click on it to he r the l rm, including vibr , repe ts, etc. how it will be pl yed if the l rm occurs. The
number right to “Sound” is the sound number: e.g. 3 will pl y the file _ l rm03. if udio file in the folder
AUDIO/SND. You c n lso cre te your own udio files (google “Aud city” for free udio editor). You c n lso
switch this v lue to “off”, so no sound is pl yed.
-INFO: If this field is ctiv ted, you’ll he r the v lue which c used the lert, it’s type (e.g. over current) nd the
units (e.g. mps). Is it de ctiv ted (----) only the l rm sound nd “ l rm” is he red.
-“Al rm ON” or “OFF” will ctiv te or de- ctive the l rm. The l rm level will lw ys be used for the
nnouncements (critic l…), independently if the l rm is switched on or off.
-“Vivr ”: “ON” ctiv tes vibr tion l rm, “OFF” dis bles it.
-“PAT”: For every l rm, you c n define your own vibr tion p ttern (32 steps)
-“Repe t”: How m ny times the sound selected bove will be pl yed. The nnouncement “e.g. b ttery empty” will
only be spoken once.
-“Level”: This is the l rm level. When the rel ted v lue goes below or bove this level (depending of the l rm
type selected before), the l rm will be ctiv ted. C n be switched to off, which m kes the l rm in ctive. If
utom tic s ve of the configur tion is ctiv ted or if you s ve the configur tion m nu lly, the level is
perm nently modified for this model. If it is not s ved, it is only v lid during this flight.
“OK” quits the menu nd confirms your ch nges, “CANC” quits nd c ncels your ch nges. You m y w nt to s ve the
configur tion to keep your ch nges perm nently (or it is utom tic lly s ved when this is ctiv ted. See Adv nced
Settings.
Hint: If you he r n l rm during the flight, which is not w nted (e.g. ltitude) you c n de ctiv te this for the actual
flight by t pping 3 times f st on the screen during the lert.
If you t p only once on the screen during the lert, the nnouncement is stopped, but the l rm rem ins ctiv.

10 Cockpit Settings
The Cockpit Settings menu cont ins glob l settings for the Cockpit, v lild for ll models, but lso some model specific
settings.
You c n enter nd exit this menu by wiping di gon lly over the screen (in ny direction). The Cockpit remembers the
l st used screen nd shows it when entering.
10.1 Global Settings
These settings re for the Cockpit nd therefore v lid for ll models!
Re-arm alarms:
-„YES“ me ns th t l rms re re- ctiv ted, once the l rm condition is resolved. Al rms c n h ppen multiple
times per flight.
-„NO“ me ns th t l rms re not re- ctiv ted, they only c n h ppen once per flight.
Ex mple volt ge l rm with re- rm set to “ON”: When the volt ge drops below the l rm level due to high current, the
l rm m y trigger. When the current is reduced, the volt ge goes up g in nd the l rm condition is resolved. Next
time, when volt ge drops below the l rm limit, the l rm will trigger g in.
When set to “OFF”, the second l rm will not trigger, so you must be c reful once you’ve he red n l rm.
Contrast:
The contr st c n be djusted to get cle n im ge. Should bl ck re s be too gr y, you c n incre se contr st. Should
you see dirty white re s, sh dows etc. you should decre se the contr st. On very cold d ys you m y incre se the
contr st to get f ster re ction of the screen.
Backlight:
Select the strength of the b cklight:
-0: Off
-1: Night light
-2: h lf power
-3: M ximum light
The b cklight switches off when the Cockpit goes to sleep mode. The time for sleep mode c n be djusted (see below).

-„Avbl C p.“: When the model is registered, you he r the phr se “Av il ble c p city …” You c n suppress this if
you w nt.
-„Nice fl.“: When the model is registered, the Cockpit wishes you nice flight. You c n suppress this if you w nt.
Config announ.
Typic lly, the voice output follows this scheme: “Type of v lue” – “V lue” – “Unit”, e.g. “Current” - “76.6” - “Amps”.
-„Typ“: When selected, the v lue is preceded by its type (e.g. “current”)
-„Unit“: When selected, the v lue is followed by its unit (e.g. “Amps”)
-„I-A“: Intelligent Announcement: When the s me type of v lue is repe ted within short time (15s), the I-A mode
will suppress the type nd unit, to void useless t lking. As soon s nother type of v lue is nnounced, you’ll
he r the complete nnouncement (depending on wh t you’ve selected for type nd unit bove. An ex mple:
“Current 65 mps, 63, 51, 21, volt ge 46.7 volts, current 35 mps, 44, 42, 39, …”. Ple se note th t the I-A mode
only m kes sense when type nd/or unit re selected.
10.3 Model s ecific settings 1/2 for Cock it reaction
In most c ses you don’t w nt the Cockpit to t lk continuously nd you m y w nt to reduce the nnouncements to
