From version 2.3 the Spirit units support full integration with the Graupner HoTT transmitters. This mean that you can configure the Spirit units completely from your radio without need of a computer.

The integration can work with all HoTT receivers and radios except MZ-4 and MZ-8.

1 Wiring

To allow the integration you have to connect additional cable to your current setup. This cable will connect the Telemetry port of the receiver with the SYS port of the unit. So there should be two connections between unit and receiver for:

• Channel transmission (PWM, PPM or SUMD)
• Telemetry and Integration data

Use the Hott Integration cable available in our eshop. Connect it according the following steps:

1. End where all wires are present in the servo connector should be connected to the receiver on the Telemetry port marked with T label.
2. End with only orange and brown wires is connected to the SYS port.

It is very important to pay attention during the connection!
If connected wrongly, it will damage the unit permanently. The cable end where Orange wire is in the middle pin must be always connected to the unit.

Servo connector in the Graupner Hott receivers is connected so that the signal wire is at the bottom.

2 Receiver configuration

Make sure that your Receiver has enabled Telemetry output. This port is deactivated in the Factory defaults.

Go to the Function (F)/Telemetry/Setting & Data View where you have to change option SENSOR at CHx to YES.

3 Entering the menu

To enter the Menu you have to enter Function (F)/Telemetry/Setting & Data View. The unit is emulating General Air Module sensor. So in the Menu you have to see, that the GENE (General) is active. Then you have to press the GENE (General) button (MZ series) to switch to this sensor type - transmitter will start to listen responses from the Spirit unit. If you are using HoTT MX series transmitter, you have to change sensor type with the arrows on the left side to General.

Then use the ENT button (MZ series) or right arrow on the right side (MX series) to reach the SPIRIT SYSTEM page.

4 Sensor Emulation

By default the Spirit unit is emulating the General Air Module. In case that you are already using this module, you can change it to another in the integration menu. In the Advanced/Expert settings/HoTT Sensor you can change the module emulation.

5 Telemetry data

With this connection the Spirit will not only offer the Integration, but also a various telemetry data. These data can be displayed on your main screen and even logged during flight.

With the Spirit firmware 2.3.0 you are able to view:

• Current RPM from the Governor.
• Vibrations of the model (Reported as Fuel)

To view the values you only have to switch Telemetry data source to General.
