Know before you buy
The sensor is natively Plug'n'Play with the PowerBox CORE system. It also supports Jeti, Multiplex M-Link, and Graupner HoTT systems through a simple configuration process.
The sensor is designed for easy integration. You can connect it directly into standard 4 mm pressure lines or use the integrated M5 threaded sockets for a secure, fixed installation.
The PBS-P16 is rated for a maximum pressure of 16 Bar, which is equivalent to 230 psi. This makes it suitable for a wide range of high-pressure telemetry applications.
Not at all. The unit is housed in a durable, machined aluminum case but weighs only 14 grams, keeping it lightweight enough for almost any setup.
The sensor operates on a wide voltage range of 4.0V to 9.0V and draws a maximum of 20mA. It is designed to run efficiently off your existing receiver power supply.
Yes, the sensor is built to be robust. It is rated for an operating temperature range of -30°C to +85°C, ensuring reliable performance in most flying environments.
