4.1 Connecting the Power Module

1. Connect to LiPo Battery: Connect your LiPo battery (up to 12S) to the XT60 input connector on the PM02 V3 module. Ensure correct polarity.
2. Connect to Flight Controller:
   • For APM and Pix32 flight controllers, use the provided 6-position Molex cable to connect the module to the 'PM' connector on your flight controller.
   • For Pixhawk 4, Pixhawk 4 Mini, and Durandal flight controllers, use the provided 6-position GH cable to connect the module to the 'PM' connector on your flight controller.
3. Powering Accessories: The PM02 V3 is designed to power the flight controller, an RC receiver, and accessories such as GPS or radio modules. It provides a regulated 5.2V at up to 3A.

Tärkeä huomautus: The PM02 V3 Power Module is ei designed to power servos. For servo power, use your aircraft's dedicated ESC/BEC (Electronic Speed Controller/Battery Eliminator Circuit).

5. Käyttöohjeet

Once correctly connected, the PM02 V3 Power Module will automatically provide power to your flight controller and begin transmitting voltage and current data. This data is crucial for battery monitoring and flight controller telemetry.

• Virran toimitus: The module converts the LiPo battery voltage to a stable 5.2V for your flight controller and compatible accessories.
• telemetria: The module continuously measures the battery's voltage and the current being drawn by the system. This information is sent to the flight controller via the connected signal cable (Molex or GH) and can be displayed in your ground station software.
• Kalibrointi: Tarkkaa voltage and current readings, it is recommended to perform a power module calibration within your flight controller's ground station software (e.g., Mission Planner, QGroundControl) after initial setup. Refer to your flight controller's specific documentation for calibration procedures.

7. Vianmääritys

If you encounter issues with your PM02 V3 Power Module, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Ei virtaa lennonohjaimelle:
  • Verify that the LiPo battery is charged and correctly connected to the XT60 input.
  • Check all connections between the power module and the flight controller (Molex or GH cable) for proper seating and continuity.
  • Inspect the power module and cables for any visible damage.
• Väärä Voltage/Nykyiset lukemat:
  • Ensure the power module is correctly calibrated in your flight controller's ground station software. Refer to your flight controller's manual for specific calibration steps.
  • Confirm that the correct power module type is selected in your flight controller's settings, if applicable.
• Moduulin ylikuumeneminen:
  • Ensure the current draw from your flight controller and accessories does not exceed the module's 3A output limit.
  • Verify that no servos are being powered directly by the module, as this can cause overload.

8. Turvallisuustiedot

Always observe the following safety precautions when handling and operating the PM02 V3 Power Module:

• Oikea napaisuus: Always ensure correct polarity when connecting the LiPo battery to the power module. Incorrect polarity can cause severe damage to the module and connected components.
• Voitage Rajat: Älä ylitä suurinta tulotilavuuttatage 60V.
• Virtarajat: Do not exceed the maximum current sensing of 120A or the 3A output limit for the regulated 5.2V supply.
• Oikosulut: Avoid short circuits at all times. Ensure all connections are insulated and secure.
• LiPo Battery Handling: Exercise caution when handling LiPo batteries. They can be dangerous if mishandled.
• Ammattimainen asennus: If you are unsure about any installation steps, seek assistance from an experienced professional.
