Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION The BNB Products Digital Power Recorder (DPR) is a powerful, lightweight, and compact module for tracking and recording the vital data you need while using your electric powered radio controlled (R/C) device – such as R/C cars and aircraft. It allows you to retrieve and record actual in-use performance data of your electric setup, which may be downloaded to your computer via the supplied USB interface cable to graph the recorded data. -
Page 5: Hardware
HARDWARE Figure 1 shows the Digital Power Recorder (DPR) The primary parts of the DPR are as follows: - 2 Red (+) and 2 Black (-) wire leads on one side of the board - for connection to the power source and load. - One 4-pin connector - for connection to the optional accessories or manual memory clear feature. -
Page 6: Quick Start Steps
Please note that you should read and understand this entire manual before attempting to use the DPR. The following “Quick Start Steps” should be used only as a guide. QUICK START STEPS 1. Add the proper source and load connectors to the DPR wire leads. 2. -
Page 7: Getting Started
GETTING STARTED Before you begin using your new DPR, you will need to add connectors to the red and black wire leads that correspond to your source and load connectors. These were not included since there are so many different connector options in use. -
Page 8: High Voltage Configuration
HIGH VOLTAGE CONFIGURATION For advanced, high Voltage configurations utilizing two battery packs (OF EQUAL VOLTAGE AND CHEMISTRY) wired in series, the DPR can be connected as displayed in Figure 4. This will allow the DPR to be used in systems up to 60 Volts. -
Page 9: Recording Missions
Note: The settings for sampling rate, channels to record, and recording resolution directly affect the amount of recording time available. Recording Sampling Rate: The DPR is capable of recording data samples from 1 to 50 times per second. To achieve longer recording times, set the samples-per-second to a lower sampling rate. -

After you have completed a mission, unplug the power source from the DPR. The data will not be lost when you disconnect the power from the DPR. To record another mission, reconnect a power “source”, and trigger the recording mode as before. The DPR will automatically separate each recorded mission. You will be able to graph each mission separately, or all missions side-by-side for comparisons. -
Page 11: Saving The Data
Channels to View: You may select to graph any, or all, of the recorded channels. This includes the Current, Voltage, Temp1, Temp2, and Power. Click on the box next to the appropriate channel to toggle ON/OFF. Select “Update” to update the graph. You may also toggle the channels by clicking on the item in the legend. Current must be set to record to view the charge used. -
Page 12: Time Specific Statistics
“Battery Efficiency” may be used to help you determine how the battery Voltage changes at different current loads. As the Current load increases, the Voltage available from the battery typically decreases. Some batteries may hold their Voltage output better than others at higher Current loads. The Efficiency Statistic takes the Voltage level at the point of the max Current load, and divides that Voltage by the max Voltage recorded to give you the percentage of the full Voltage at that point. -
