Instruction manual JetCat-PRO engines, 1.7 - V12.01V
Power supply:
Typical via 3-cell LiPo battery / XT60 Power connector / capacity 3000mAh or higher
Max.(peak) electrical startup power: 300W
On newer engines, supply voltage can range from 10-35V max. On these systems the battery type and cell count is
adjustable in a large range. On these engines the output voltage of the integrated DC/DC converter will automatically
adjust in correspondence to the selected battery! (only GL/GH versions).
On older GL/GH engines the battery must be a 3s Lipo type, as the output voltage of the DC/DC converter is fixed and
matched to these battery voltages!
Data connector:
Via 15pin SUB-D (male) this provides for the following control options:
1x Power On control signal
2x PWM input channels (e.g. for RC remote control; THR/AUX)
2x independent serial interfaces (
baudrate:9600 up to 115000 bps)
for computer remote control, data
reporting and/or interconnection of multiple engines, RS485 signal level upon request.
Engine addressing feature allows to connect multiple engine to same serial interface.
1x analogue voltage control / sensor input
1x JetCat Bus interface, e.g. for connection of GSU and/or other JetCat accessories (LCU / flow sensor/ BMS
system etc.)
CAN-Bus interface for control and data reporting
Customer specific data connectors including customer specific pinouts are possible on request
JetCat PRO-Interface, Option
By using the “JetCat-PRO” interface, not only can all PRO engines easily be used in RC-model applications, it provides a
ready-made solution, and easy interface point for educational and industrial applications.
It also provides full functionality of our JetCat Telemetry-Adapter if desired!
Furthermore, the PRO-Interface allows for an easy access point to connect other accessories such as:
One or two channel RC control (from receiver)
Telemetry output for: Jeti, Graupner, Hott, Multiplex M-BUS and Futaba SBUS-2
RJ12 jack for connection of GSU
Air Speed sensor header
6 and 8 pin ERNI flat cable connectors (e.g. for connection of LCU / Mini GSU)
RS232 header for computer control
CAN-Bus header
Header to JetCat BMS (Battery Management System)
Cross check communication port (for interconnecting / synchronizing two engines).
3x Status LEDs
Analog and digital inputs for:
- Power On/Off
- Engine On/Off Control
- Engine RPM command/ control via a directly connected potentiometer
