- Page 2 Welcome! Congratulations on the purchase of your new telemetry adapter. Xicoy are dedicated to the design and production of electronic controllers to the highest standards of quality and reliability to bring you the customer the very latest next generation designs. Features: The Xicoy telemetry adapter provides the protocol translation between the data from the engine collected by the Xicoy Fadec turbine controllers (from model 107K) and...
- Page 3 When used on a Multiplex M-Link TX, as this brand don’t allow any configuration on the TX and only allow 16 measures to be transmitted, this adapter allow to customer to decide what measures are transmitted, and on which slot are they placed, so that this adapter can be used together with all other sensors in the market or to use two adapters for twin engine operation.
- Page 4 Electrical connections: Except the Spektrum unit, the adapter has a 2-wire lead finished in a 3 position JR connector to be connected on the RX socket “EXT” on Jeti Receivers, “Sensor” on MPX receivers, “T” on HoTT and “SBUS2” on Futaba receivers, Smart Bus on FrSky receivers and P -Bus on PowerBOX-CORE receivers.
- Page 5 Since version 5 and higher it also supports the brand new X45 turbine. Telemetry module will automatically detect if it’s a FADEC/Jets-munt engine or the new X45 system. As the communication protocol is completely different from the other FADEC it has its own connection.
- Page 6 Picture 2 Note that since version 5 and higher in order to be compatible with most of the receivers available on the market it will take up to 5 seconds to enter in this mode of operation. The RED led on the adapter will lit, and the data terminal will display “Radio Model: JETI”...
- Page 7 The recommended calibration process is: Enter the fuel capacity of your plane in the “tank capacity” menu. Leave the pump factor at the default 400 unit, unless you know a more accurate figure for your engine model. 1) Do a normal flight; use your usual timer to determine the length of the flight. Ignore on this flight the % of fuel in the tank displayed by the telemetry on landing.
- Page 8 JETI Alarms setup: (only available in adapters from version 2) After the fuel related menus, the options for the alarms will be displayed. You can set in these menus the threshold of the alarm for each measure. By default all are set to 0 (disabled).
- Page 9 Note: In the case that the RPM reading is wrong over 60.000rpm, you should update the firmware of your MPX radio; there is a bug on old M-Link systems. Futaba Measures Setup: For older versions than telemetry 5: This adapter emulates RPM and Temperature sensors on Futaba, so the setup should be done manually, not automatic by connecting the sensor to the TX.
- Page 10 After setting the RPM slot, you can set the slots to all other measures, or disable any by setting its slot number to zero. PLEASE NOTE: Only one measure is allowed to each slot. You should check that the slot you want to use is not used by another measure in the same or another sensor/adapter in the system.
- Page 11 Setting the Futaba TX: Warning: The following lines are just for versions older than telemetry 5. As we are now emulating a pre-done sensor which correctly displays the units of the variables. Although the adapter is still not supported by Futaba, that’s why it has to be done like this.
- Page 12 Hott setup (supported from Tele02 an newer models): This adapter emulates the “General Air Module” (GAM). Due at that the HoTT system only allow one module of each type present in the system, this mean that only one adapter can be connected, not allowing multiengine operation, nor a genuine GAM installed on the system at same time as the Xicoy adapter.
- Page 13 capacity on the TX, as if it was the electric pack capacity, the radio discount automatically the fuel consumed reported from the ecu from the value entered in the radio, ignoring the value entered in the setup of the telemetry adapter. Procedure to adjust the pump factor is the same.
- Page 14 Once the sensor is found it will be shown as Xicoy ECU 1, inside it a couple of submenus will appear, they represent the available measures, the state, the first and the second line of the smart data screen. The configuration of the alarms and how it’s going to be displayed are totally decided by the user.
- Page 15 At this point you will have to download the files that Xicoy Electronica provides and include them on the SD card folders. Include the Lua scripts inside the folder SCRIPTS/TELEMETRY. Once done the TELEMETRY folder should look like: After loading the lua scripts the same procedure has to be done in order to include the bitmaps that are used by Xicoy scripts.
- Page 16 The next step would be to configure the telemetry settings on the radio. This step is also crucial because every measure has a name and a personal ID. If the name or the Id does not match it won’t work properly. There are two ways to configure the radio telemetry settings.
- Page 17 This part indicates that our script is going to be used and that it will be shown on Telemetry screen 1. If you don’t have any model nor settings on your radio you can load this preset model into it. But if you are already using a model/setting don’t load this file directly to the radio, otherwise it will erase your current model and settings.
- Page 18 The table illustrates the name of each displayable value and also the ID that is assigned to it. We will explain with an example how it has to be done. For example, if we pick the THRT row. The Name field has to be THRT, with capital letters.
- Page 19 After that head to the main screen and long press the “Page” button. If all the process is done correctly the Xicoy telemetry screen should appear. At this point you are done with the configuration, just plug the telemetry (make sure that is configured as a FrSky) on the smart bus port of your receiver and it should start communicating immediately.
