Battery ID Reader 

for VBar Control

Using the Battery ID Reader, VBar Control can automati-

cally and individually identify your flight packs. It is no lon-

ger necessary to select the flight packs manually from the 

list in the 

Battery Logbook

. This simplifies pre-flight handling 

significantly, and it rules out a potential source of trouble by 

mistakenly selecting a wrong battery.

Each battery will be tagged using a Battery ID Tag (sticker) 

which identifies the battery uniquely. The reader will be in-

stalled in your model. Place this reader in a way so it can 

read the tag properly each time a battery is installed in the 

model (max. distance 30 mm). 

Connect  the  reader  to  a  VBar  (RX  1  or  RX  2)  using  the 

3-leaded wire provided. The reader has a second connector 

where  you  can  daisy  chain  further  VBar  Control  sensors. 

The second connector can be left free if it is not needed.

 

Attention The antenna area works from both directions. 

You can test the Battery ID Reader and the Battery ID Tags 

outside your model before deciding on a mounting position 

and the resulting distance between reader and tag.

 

Attention Mount the Battery ID Reader antenna area at a 

distance of ≥ 2 cm to other electric and electronic items and 

their wires on the model.

Technical DatA:

Prerequisite

A VBar or Mini VBar with RX 1/RX 2 ports, a VBar Control 

Voltage/Current Sensor and Battery ID Tags are required.

 

Attention When using telemetry with a VBar, do not con-

nect a signal wire to RX C (Mini VBar) or AUX (VBar with 

separate sensor), only (+) and (–) for power supply are al-

lowed. Remove the orange wire from connectors of wires 

that you connect here, and insulate them (e.g. from BECs, 

slave wires of ESCs).
