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).
