Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1. What is the primary purpose of the Mauch Sensor Hub X2 with DF-13 connectors?

Ans. The primary purpose of the Mauch Sensor Hub X2 is to allow the connection of two separate Mauch current and/or voltage sensors (like the PL-xxx or HS-xxx series) to a single input on a flight controller. This is particularly useful for achieving redundant power monitoring, where two sensors provide data, or for monitoring current/voltage at two different points in a complex power system, feeding the data to the flight controller via its DF-13 interface.

Q2. How does using the Sensor Hub X2 improve the reliability of my drone's telemetry data?

Ans. By allowing two independent sensors to connect, the Sensor Hub X2 significantly improves telemetry reliability by providing redundancy. If one sensor were to fail or provide erroneous readings, the flight controller (if configured for it) could potentially switch to or compare data from the second sensor, ensuring continuous and accurate power monitoring. This is crucial for mission-critical industrial or commercial drone operations.

Q3. Is the Mauch Sensor Hub X2 compatible with non-Mauch brand current/voltage sensors?

Ans. The Mauch Sensor Hub X2 is specifically designed with the pinout and electrical characteristics to interface seamlessly with Mauch PL-series and HS-series current/voltage sensors, utilizing DF-13 connectors. While technically possible to adapt other sensors if their outputs match, it is highly recommended to use it with genuine Mauch sensors to ensure proper functionality, calibration, and reliable telemetry data for your drone.
