How to use the Sensors with Noble NB4

All sensors connected to the receiver will be located in this menu.

This function can be access from the home screen as well when quick access is needed.

[ Display Sensors]:

This list shows all sensors connected to the receiver, including sensor type, number and real-time data.

[Type]shows the sensor type

[number]display sensor’s number

l  The first sensor in the list by default is the TX Voltage sensor, however receiver, signal strength indication, RSSI, noise, signal to noise ratio can take this slot.

l  No.2 is the first external sensor connected to the receiver; the receiver supports up to 15 sensors.

This list data is displayed in real time. When the receiver is connected to a sensor, this list will be refreshed to display the new sensor’s data.

 [Value] displays the data returned by a sensor.

Note:

If using the FGr4S or FGr4P receivers you must select the [Output Mode] in the [Receiver Settings] menu and select "Sensor", save and exit, then connect the sensor to the receiver's i-bus port. All other steps remain the same.

Speed sensor (FS-CPD01、FS-CPD02）

The speed sensor outputs the motor speed in real time.

Motor speed: Speed of motor.

Measurement value: rpm (rotations per minute)

Magnetic induction speed sensor (FS-CPD01)
1. Connect the FS-CPD01 sensor to either the SENS port on the receiver or the in port of another sensor.
2. Secure the magnet in the desired position (for example the inside of a wheel) and secure the sensor next to the magnet.
3. The distance between the sensor and the magnet should be 2mm, with the north or south pole of the magnet facing the sensor.

Turn on the transmitter, enter [Sensor] then [Sensor List] and rotate the wheel. If the “Type” column displays “Speed” and the [Value] column displays a value other than 0rmp then the installation was successful, otherwise repeat the above steps.

Optical speed sensor (FS-CPD02)
1. Connect FS-CPD02 following the same steps as above.
2. Affix the sensor and reflective sticker in the axial rotation position to be tested; keep the sticker flat and perpendicular to the sensor probe. The distance between the sensor probe and the sticker should be within a few mm.
3. Turn on the transmitter, enter [Sensor], then [Sensor List] menu and rotate the wheel. If the “Type” column displays “Speed” and the [Value] column displays a value other than 0rmp then the installation was successful, otherwise repeat the above steps.

Temperature Sensor（FS-CTM01）

Used to monitor the temperature of various components. Warnings can be set.

1、Connect the FS-CTM01 to the receiver or other sensors using the same method as used with other sensors.

2、Use a spongy double-sided tape to stick the temperature probe to the part you wish to monitor (such as: motor, battery).

3、Turn on the transmitter, enter [Sensor] then [Sensor List] and rotate the wheel. If the “Type” column displays “Temperature” and the [Value] column displays a temperature then the installation was successful, otherwise repeat the above steps.

Voltage sensor (FS-CVT01)
It is used to monitor the model’s battery voltage. The battery voltage can be monitored through from the transmitter. Warnings can be set.

1. Connect FS-CPD02 following the same steps as above.
2. Insert the red and black wire pins into the plug of the battery used for testing. The red wire is the positive pole and the black wire is the negative pole. When the voltage displayed on the transmitter sensor display interface is positive, the installation is successful.
3. Turn on the transmitter, enter [Sensor], then [Sensor List] menu and rotate the wheel. If the “Type” column displays “External Voltage” and the [Value] column displays a voltage then the installation was successful, otherwise repeat the above steps.

[Select Sensor]:
There are four settings under this function: [Transmitter Voltage], [Receiver Voltage], [Signal Strength], and [RSSI], which are used to set the corresponding alarm trigger point for each sensor.
Function settings: 

[Transmitter voltage]:
1. Touch a slot to enter then touch the [Φ] icon to enable this function. When this function is enabled, the icon will change to [√ ].

2. Touch [Low Alarm] to select. [Value] is the corresponding status alarm value. Touch the "+" or "-" icons to change the trigger value.

 [Receiver voltage], [Signal strength], [RSSI] can all be set using the above instructions.

Speed and distance:
This function is used to detect monitor wheel revolutions and distance traveled.
[Speed sensor]: Select the target sensor. If the sensor and receiver are connected the will appear in this menu automatically. You can choose between two speeds or [None].
[Set radius]: If a speed sensor is installed on the wheel, you need to define the radius the wheel. This length will be used to calculate the distance traveled. Click "+" or "-" to adjust the radius.
[Reset mileage 1]: Odometer 1 is used to record the distance traveled. The value of odometer 1 will be reset to zero each time the transmitter is power cycled.
[Reset mileage 2]: Odometer 2 is used to record the total driving distance regardless of transmitter power cycles, and as such is the cumulative distance from each session.
