EMETER II
& RDU QUICK GUIDE v2.09
EMETER II & RDU EXTENDED MANUAL v2.09
Welcome to our page in support of the EMETER II and RDU/LDU Logging & Control
Systems.
Note that the wide range of functions performed by Emeter requires a look at the
documentation in order to understand all the possibilities...
The Emeter II and RDU are natural companions, and together have an
astonishing array of capabilities.
As such, we recommend #HP-EM2-SET with Emeter and RDU at a discount to you.
(Emeter/LDU sets also available at retailers)
But they are each quite
powerful even separately, so we do offer various configurations to suit all
users.

 |
OPTION TEMP
UNIT 1 (#HP-EM2-TMP1)
This unit connects directly to the RDU
(LDU) "Aux" port. Temps #2 and #3
then daisy-chain to Temp #1. Therefore purchase this one first,
then temps 2&3 if desired.
Generous 25cm (10") cable length means a good reach even in larger models... |
 |
OPTION TEMP UNITS 2 & 3
(#HP-EM2-TMP23)
The Temp#2 unit connects directly to Temp#1 unit, so Temp#1 is required
to use these. Temp#3 connects to Temp#2. Temps 2 and 3 have
cable length of 20cm each, so max reach of Temp#3 unit from RDU is about
65cm (~26"). |
 |
OPTION PHASE TACHOMETER
for brushless motors (#HP-EM2-TACHBL)
This one is a beauty! Just attach inline on one of the three
brushless motor wires (solder up a male/female connector adapter for
convenience) and log motor rpm extremely accurately throughout the motor
run. You need to know how many magnets are in your motor to
configure the RDU, but even if you don't know the Emeter can be
connected and RDU (LDU) rpm compared with the Emeter tach. Makes it a
snap to set it up right, every time... And this unit is NOT
plagued by the problems found in some other brands. It's rock
solid! |
 |
Special Y-Cable for RDU<>Rx THROTTLE Channel
(HP-EM2-YCBLTHR)
For Logging throttle position and/or Control of ESC. (for RDU only) |
 |
EMETER<>RDU (or LDU) DATA CABLE
(#HP-EM2-4PINCBL)
This data cable comes with the Emeter itself. As such, it is
mainly for replacement or as a spare. Note that it is also used to
program Hyperion TITAN ESC via the Emeter II. |
 |
EMETER POWER INPUT CABLE
(#HP-EM2-PWRCBL)
This power input cable comes with the Emeter itself. As such, it
is mainly for replacement or as a spare. |
|
 |
TITAN USB<>SERIAL ADAPTER (#HP-TI-PRGUSB)
This adapter is only necessary if you've purchased RDU or LDU alone
(i.e. you do NOT have EmeterII) You'll need it to connect your RDU
to the Windows PC Emeter II Suite Software. The software allows you to
configure the RDU via PC, Download, Store, and Display Log File results,
and Bench Test live and direct to PC.
SEE THIS PAGE for information on
drivers and setup for the TI-PRGUSB adapter.
Note: TI-PRGUSB comes with an adapter
marked "Emeter". It is for Emeter v1 and NOT used with RDU or EmeterII. |

Other Items Suggested
|
- A standard SD Memory Card
for the Emeter II.
Anything from 64MB to 4GB will work. Some dealers will be
offering 2GB cards with the most recent firmware, help files, and prop
constants installed for about $12, we expect. You may use mini or
micro SD cards in a standard adapter.
|
- A PC Card Reader for SD Card.
The Emeter<>PC interface is via the SD card. Most laptops and many
printers include card readers...
|
| - High Quality gold-plated connectors between
your batteries, RDU, and motor controllers. Very important! |
