VOLTAGE TELEMETRY
ALTA 8 supports battery voltage telemetry on Futaba radios using a receiver that
supports an external voltage sensor, such as the R7008SB. Installing the telemetry
wire is easiest when initially installing the receiver. To set up ALTA 8 with voltage
telemetry for Futaba radios:
1. Remove the closeout panel between booms 2 and 3 with a 2.0mm
hex driver and locate the radio receiver wire bundle
2. Identify the voltage sense wire and connector in the bundle. It is the
small, 2-pin connector attached to a black and red wire pair
NOTE
This wire is already connected to an in-line fuse.
Soldering a fuse into this wire is not required.
3. Connect the cable to the external voltage sense port on the Futaba receiver
4. Reattach the closeout panel
