7.1.3 The Advanced Graphics/Indicators Menu
The menu is similar to the basic Graphics/Indicators menu, except that it allows you to select the OSD screens
on which the graphics and indicators appear, and you can also enable display of additional battery gauges and
waypoints in this menu.
7.2 Using Optional RPM and Temperature Sensors
The Vector supports both an external temperature sensor (micro or loop type) and a brushless RPM
sensor. As of this writing, the existing Eagle Tree temperature and RPM sensors require modifications
to work with the Vector. Eagle Tree plans to release Vector versions of these sensors later.
7.2.1 Temperature Sensor
Assuming the Aux2/M6/Temp Vector port is not being used to control a servo or motor output, you can
connect a MODIFIED Eagle Tree “Micro Temp Sensor” (P/N TEMP-MICRO) or “Motor Loop Temp Sensor” (P/N
TEMP-LOOP) to that port, and display and log temperature.
The simple modification of the sensor involves carefully removing the sensor’s bottom wire from the servo
housing, using a probe or needle to gently lift the tab on the housing, and placing that wire in the top position of
the housing, as shown below.
7.2.2 Brushless RPM Sensor
7.2.2.1 Brushless RPM Sensor Setup
Assuming the Aux1/M5/RPM Vector port is not being used to control a servo or motor output, you can connect
a MODIFIED Eagle Tree “Brushless RPM Sensor” (P/N RPM-BRS-V2) to that port, and display and log RPM. DO
NOT connect an Optical or Hall (Magnetic) RPM sensor to the Vector! It could be damaged if you do.
The simple modification of the sensor involves carefully removing the sensor’s red and black wires from the
servo housing, using a probe or needle to gently lift the tabs on the housing, and reversing the red and black
wires, as shown below.
Additionally, the following should be noted about using an RPM sensor with the Vector:
