Telemetry The AR6610T features full range telemetry and will provide receiver battery voltage, fl ight log data, and vario and altitude data without any additional sensors. The altitude and vertical speed (variometer) sensor (SPMA9589) functions are already integrated in the SPMAR6610T. Additional telemetry devices such as voltage sensors can be connected to the volt port, and XBus telemetry sensors can be connected through the XBus connector.
