<strong>TURNIGY</strong> <strong>AERODRIVE</strong> <strong>MULTI</strong>-<strong>FUNCTION</strong> <strong>DC</strong> <strong>WATT</strong> <strong>METER</strong>I found the instructions that came with the meter difficult to follow, therefore I put this together hoping itmay help someone else.Below is a picture describing the different components of the Turnigy Aerodrive Multi Function <strong>DC</strong><strong>WATT</strong> <strong>METER</strong>.The second page gives sample wiring diagrams to test a battery, ESC/BEC and Motor combinations forbest current draw and wattage.Please let me know if you have a better way to describe what this meter’s controls. If you find any errors,please let me know as well. ThanksSee second page for samples of hooking up the meter.I hope you find this useful.Fly4Fun,Wayne Miller<strong>TURNIGY</strong> <strong>AERODRIVE</strong>Multi Function <strong>DC</strong> Watt MeterESC/BEC PWR SWITCHAllows 5v to red wire toplug when needed.Normally not needed.PLUG FROM ESCNormally would pluginto throttle channelFROM BATTERYCareful - Reversingpolarity will damageunit !Used to supply 5vto red wire belowwhen plug requires5v.This way for no5v to plug red wirebelow.
