The Emeter is a device designed especially for electric fliers. It is the brain-child of Phil and Mark Connolly from Melbourne, and is now being manufactured in Hong Kong by Hyperion. Bob Hickman reviewed it in Airborne and was very enthusiastic.
This wonder meter combines a Voltmeter, Ammeter (for measuring Amps), a Tachometer, a Prop Constants and Efficiency Calculator, and a Speed Controller Programmer. What a combination! It also holds the last five displays in memory!
In Motor mode it displays Volts, Amps, Watts and RPM (see photo one) - you will never be guessing again.
In Battery mode it displays charge/discharge, capacity, realtime voltage, peak voltage and time (see photo two).
And there is more - you can use this meter to program Hyperion brushless speed controllers.
It comes with a 4 cell NiMh pack for power, and the pack can be recharged from your flight pack. It also has a 100A shunt with Deans Ultra connectors attached (see it in the photos).
And the cost is only $139
Accessories available
Programming cable for connection to Hyperion TITAN speed controllers - the Emer can then program the controller - $4.60
I can also supply a USB cable for connection to your computer for $27.40 - this allows a Windows-based analysis software download and tells you more about your set-ups..
Please note: the Hyperion Emeter is currently out of production. A new model is being developed, with extra features, and is now not expected until later in 2008 - no firm date for supply. I am listing all names of people interested in the meter and will keep everyone informed. Send me an e-mail if you would like to be added to the list.
The new Emeter will include:
• In-flight shunt to record data and playback at the field on the Emeter
• Switchable back-lit screen
• More detail displayed on screen
• Enhanced servo programmer and tester
• Capability to store thrust and prop constants
• Battery voltage monitor and longer battery life
• In-flight data logger
I believe that the new model is still being tested - no date for availability yet. I am still collecting a waiting list. Send me a message if you would like to be added. Message posted 3-8-08.
