FrSky Telemetry Sensors and Accessories:
With the exception of the Battery Voltage Sensor and a couple of others, you'll need a sensor hub to connect most of these various devices to your receiver to get the telemetry data reported back on your transmitter. In order to read voltage, lipo voltage, current info from new Tanaris radio with XJT & X8R, you will need those sensors connect to a sensor hub then connect to a Variometer sensor which has smart-port to connect to X series products. If you have any questions about hooking these together, or which ones you need, just contact us.
Sensor Hub
This is the sensor hub to which many other sensors (see below) can be connected. The hub is then connected to your 2-Way receiver (such as D8R series or D4R-II, etc.).
The FrSky Sensor Hub is recommended to connect to the digital side port (G, TX, RX) of your FrSky telemetry receiver and FrSky sensors by the provided cable, to serve as an information collecting and processing center, to monitor the model status and feed back all data to the FrSky Tx module. |
Battery Voltage Sensor
This uses a simple voltage divider circuit to measure the pack voltage on your aircraft. It can measure up to 5S LiPo as-is. You can also measure higher voltages, but you will need to modify the circuit to do so*. This plugs directly into a D8R or D4R-II* series receiver's voltage monitor port.
*Contact us for details Does NOT require Sensor Hub. |

Temperature Sensor
Use this to measure the temperature of a battery, engine, etc. Up to two can be used at once.
Requires Sensor Hub. |
LiPo Voltage Sensor
Beautiful OLED Color Display shows Li-Po cell voltages up to 6S. Up to 12S can be displayed by chaining two sensors together.
Requires Sensor Hub. |

FAS-40 Ampere Sensor
This is the FrSky Ampere Sensor (FAS-40) which can measure Current (A), Power
Consumption (mAH) and Power (W) when connected between a Battery and ESC. Current (A) and Power (W) will be displayed on the FLD-02, while Current (A) and Power Consumption (mAH) will be displayed on the DHT-U. The FAS-40 reports Power and Power Consumption without an external voltage sensor and, in addition it can be chained together to report individual cell voltages by using the Lipo Voltage Sensor (FLVS-01). |
FAS-100 Ampere Sensor
This is the FrSky Ampere Sensor (FAS-100) can measure Current (A), Power
Consumption (mAH) and Power (W) when connected between a Battery and ESC. Current (A) and Power (W) will be displayed on the FLD-02, while Current (A) and Power Consumption (mAH) will be displayed on the DHT-U. The FAS-100 reports Power and Power Consumption without an external voltage sensor and, in addition it can be chained together to report individual cell voltages by using the Lipo Voltage Sensor (FLVS-01). |
FAS-100 Ampere Sensor with XT60 Connectors
Similar with the above FAS-100 with 60XT connector already mounted. Easy for hooking to other devices

FVAS-02 - Normal Precision Variometer (Altitude) Sensor
The FrSky Normal Precision Variometer measures the rate of change of altitude by detecting the change in air pressure (static pressure) as altitude
changes. Able to report altitude. When used with a FrSky transmitter like the Taranis, you can actually create mixes that use the feedback from the vario sensor. For example, you can have your motor reduce power when you reach a set altitude. An excellent feature for sites that have flight ceilings. Another nice feature of the vario is the ability to connect the FSH-01 sensor hub, thus allowing the X8R receiver's to use the existing analog sensors. |

Variometer (Altitude) Sensor
This sensor will report altitude information back to your transmitter. It works by detecting small changes in air pressure
Requires Sensor Hub. This sensor is discontinued! |
RPM Sensor
An optical RPM sensor. Point up through anything needing RPM measurement. Works only in daylight.
Requires Sensor Hub. This sensor is discontinued! |
Fuel Gauge Sensor
Apply to the outside of your plastic fuel tank to measure fuel level from Empty, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4, to Full. Will not work on metal tanks or gasoline.
Requires Sensor Hub. This sensor is discontinued! |
GPS Sensor
The GPS sends back various data, such as speed, longitude and latitude.
Longitude: dddmm.mmmm E/W Latitude: ddmm.mmmm N/S Requires Sensor Hub. This sensor is discontinued! |
