Setup and installation
The photo above shows a common setup for an airplane or multirotor. A diagram to install the TBS CORE PNP
PRO on the TBS DISCOVERY PRO is included on the next page.
Installation is fool proof, just plug your camera and video transmitter into the corresponding sockets and
connect the current sensor module between your model and battery pack. All your plane's electronics should be
powered normally after the current sensor XT60 connector. If your receiver supports RSSI (Receiver Signal
Strength Indicator) output, hook it up to get additional telemetry data on the R/C link displayed on the OSD.
Positioning the TBS CORE PNP PRO in your model requires some planning. Please keep adequate separation
between unit and your R/C receiver. The TBS CORE series includes two very powerful switching-regulators
which can interfere with your UHF receiver when placed in close proximity. This is not something that is unique
to this product but rather to all devices with switching regulators. The noise decreases exponentially with
distance, so every centimeter or inch helps get more range out of your system. A UHF R/C system can fly to
about 15 km (approx. 10 miles) with the TBS CORE PNP PRO sitting in close proximity on a small multirotor
frame. It is essential to keep a good distance between the GPS antenna (passive) and VTx antenna (active) to get
a proper GPS lock.
Since the unit is based on switching regulators, it does not need to be ventilated or exposed and can be tucked
away in your aircraft for maximum durability.
