This product is intended to working with the RC Logger (not included) to provide ambient information (temperature,

humidity, pressure and height) for a model vehicle. The external temperature sensor provides temperature information

from different parts of the model vehicle such as the battery or the motor. The product is powered by the RC Logger.

For safety and approval purposes (CE), you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use the product

for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged. In addition, improper use can

cause hazards such as short circuiting, fire, electric shock etc. Read the instructions carefully and keep them.

Make this product available to third parties only together with its operating instructions.

Operating instructions

safEty iNstRuCtioNs

Read the operating instructions carefully and especially observe the safety information. if

you do not follow the safety instructions and information on proper handling in this manual,

we assume no liability for any resulting personal injury or damage to property. such cases

will invalidate the warranty/guarantee.

Persons / Product

The device is not a toy. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.

Do not leave packaging material lying around carelessly. These may become dangerous playing material

for children.

Protect the product from extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, strong jolts, high humidity, moisture,

flammable gases, vapours and solvents.

Do not place the product under any mechanical stress.

If it is no longer possible to operate the product safely, take it out of operation and protect it from any

accidental use. Safe operation can no longer be guaranteed if the product:

is visibly damaged,

is no longer working properly,

has been stored for extended periods in poor ambient conditions or

has been subjected to any serious transport-related stresses.

Handle the product carefully. Jolts, impacts or a fall even from a low height can damage the product.

Also observe the safety and operating instructions of any other devices which are connected to the

product.

Miscellaneous

Consult an expert when in doubt about operation, safety or connection of the device.

Maintenance, modifications and repairs are to be performed exclusively by an expert or at a qualified

shop.

If you have questions which remain unanswered by these operating instructions, contact our technical

support service or other technical personnel.

oPERatioN

the environmental module may not work with strong electromagnetic interference. stay

away from sources of electromagnetic interference and restart the environmental module

if you have had problems with it.

Attach the environmental module to the model vehicle body firmly with cable ties, glue or double sided

adhesive tape.

When installing the module, make sure that the cables connected to the module are not kinked

nor pinched.

Enabling the high range

temperature sensor

Connect the environmental module to the RC Logger with the logger connection cable provided via the

socket “I/O” at the bottom of the environmental module.

Alternatively, the environmental module can also be connected to the RC Logger via another RC Logger

module (which supports serial I

C connection). Read the operating instructions of the module before

connecting them. Connect the environmental module to a module with the module connection cable

provided and connect the module to the RC Logger.

Connect up to three low range temperature sensors to “Ext 1”, “Ext 2” or “Ext 3”. You can also connect a

high range temperature sensor (not included) to “Ext 1”. Set the jumper (not included) “JP1” to use the high

range temperature sensor.

“Ext 2” and “Ext 3” do not support the high range temperature sensor.

Attach the temperature sensors to the object whose temperature you would like to measure.

Power on the RC Logger. The red LED on the environmental module lights up indicating the module is

turned on.

Then, the green LED on the environmental module lights up. This indicates the environmental module is

operating.

Record videos or take photos with the RC Logger, ambient information is recorded to the RC Logger at

the same time.

Refer to the instructions of the RC Logger for data retrieval.

disPosal

utilise natural resources prudently and rationally, the user should return unserviceable product to

relevant facilities in accordance with statutory regulations.

The crossed-out wheeled bin indicates the product needs to be disposed separately and not as

municipal waste.
