Telemetry 

The voltage for the VSpeak ECU  Converter is  supplied by the  JetCat ECU. As soon  as  you 
switch on the JetCat ECU and apply a valid signal to the throttle channel (either from the radio 
or a servo tester) you will get telemetry data. Otherwise no data is generated 

2.0

 

Select Telemetry System / Global Parameters 

The  telemetry  system  can  be  adjusted  by  using  the  Programming  adapter  (s.  section 
Accessories) and the JetCat GSU. 
If ECU converter, GSU, receiver- or turbine battery are plugged into the programming adapter, 
the version of the ECU converter appears after a short initialization, followed by the display of 
the currently set remote control system. 
The  navigation  takes  place  in  the  usual  way,  ie  "scroll"  between  the  parameters  with  the 
+/-  buttons  -  Value  change  with  the  pushed  "Change  Value  /  Item"  button  and  added    +/- 
buttons, then instead of the ":" a small arrow shows the changed values. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
With Jeti and HoTT, all other settings can be made directly from the transmitter. For all other 
remote control systems further specific settings can be made (follow the respective section). 
With the "Limits" button you can switch to the "Global" parameters (see next page). Press the 
button "Select Menu"  returns to the "Telemetry System Selection". 
When the "Info" button is pressed, the version of the ECU converter appears. 
 
All other keys of the GSU ("Min / Max" "Run" "Manual" "Set" "Spool") have no function for 
the VSpeak ECU converter.
