Kontronik ESCs are utilizing special 5-pin port connector for telemetry data transmission to the unit. To allow the ESC telemetry, it is necessary to have updated ESC to at least 1.13 (JIVE PRO) and 4.14 (KOSMIK) firmware version. Older versions do not support TelMe protocol.

1 Telemetry Cable

To allow the telemetry data transmission the Telem KONTRONIK v2 cable is required. This cable is available in our Eshop.

Warning.png We do not recommend to make this cable at home since improper connection will cause permanent damage of the unit.

2 Interfacing

Connect the Telemetry cable to the primary Spektrum satellite port in the unit. Smaller Spirit units will utilize the one native Spektrum satellite port (μSpirit - SAT port).

5-pin JST connector of the Telem KONTRONIK v2 cable should be connected to the ESC. In case of Kontronik KOSMIK please use port in the middle.

3 Spirit Settings

Power up the ESC and start the Spirit Settings as usually.

3.1 Telemetry activation

As the last step you have to set the ESC Telemetry in the Spirit Settings software.

Go to the Advanced/Telemetry settings and set the Kontronik TelMe option.

Then close the window and save the settings (CTRL+S). Finally, reconnect battery from the ESC.

From this moment, everything should work.

You can display telemetry data directly in your radio from now.
