RCM Telemetry Instructions V2.0
Summary:
The RCM Telemetry System comprises five parts - Mobile App/Gateway/Collector/GPS/sensor.
The system collects and records real-time telemetry data as you drive. When powered the collector
will send real time data to your mobile device showing the RC model speed, running distance,
running route, voltage ,RPM, battery/ESC/motor temps. The application automatically detects and
recognizes sensors for easy setup and configuration. User can set alarm warnings for desired
thresholds, add points on the map. The mobile device will sound alarm (beep beep) for low battery
voltage and high motor/ESC/battery temps to protect the RC equipment. The recordings can be
named and saved to compare.

Instructions:
Step 1: Scan the QR code and download the "RCM telemetry 2.0.Apk", install to mobile device, run
the App, turn on the App Bluetooth after the gateway’s bluetooth light is illuminated . If your
mobile have V1.0 App, please delete it before installing V2.0 App.
Step 2 : Install collector/GPS into the RC model, attach sensors to battery/esc/motor. Power
collector and gateway. The collector can be powered by either lipo balance plug or radio box
battery.
Step 3: Before running ensure all gateway pilot lights are illuminated, the mobile device GPS icon is
bright green and Bluetooth is bright blue.
Note: This device is designed for outdoor use in open areas. Allow 2 minutes to establish GPS
connection, on cloudy or rainy days allow up to 5 minutes. On excessively cloudy days the device
may fail to fix position. In order to keep Bluetooth signal operational the mobile device must stay
within 10 meters of gateway at all times. The gateway and collector maximum distance is 200
meters.
On fiberglass/ carbon fiber models the collector's antenna must be outside the hull as much as
possible. On plastic models the antenna can operate inside the hull but working range will be
reduced less than 200 meters.
The collector antenna wire can be installed next to the radio receiver wire.

Link procedure:
Step1: Power on the collector ,move the plug to second and third interface.
Step2: Power on the gateway, Press and hold the gateway's "FUN" button, until lights
illuminate.
Step3: Put the plug on the first and second interface, restart the collector and gateway.
3. RPM Sensor
Magnetic RPM sensor: Stick the magnet on the motor’s shaft , fix the
sensor near the magnet ,the sensor and magnet can not over 4mm, the green
light illuminate means the sensor is working, if the green light off, try to
change the magnet to the other side up or let the sensor nearer to the
magnet until see the green light is illuminated.
Connection: Yellow –Vin.(First pin) ; Red -3.3v/vcc (second pin) ;
Black –Gnd. (third pin)
Brushless RPM Sensor
(Please read the paper instruction)
4. Mobile APP
Scan the QR code and download the "RCM Telemetry2.0.Apk", install to mobile device, run the APP.
Connect the mobile Bluetooth After the gateway’s Bluetooth light on. Choose appropriate model
mode, difference is background, only plane with altitude. If your mobile have V1.0 App, please
delete it before installing V2.0 App.
