TBS Core PNP50 OSD Voltage and Consumption Display

Overview of the TBS Core PNP50

The TBS CORE PNP50 is a significant advancement in the TBS CORE series, specifically designed for lightweight FPV aircraft like the TBS CAiPiRINHA. This innovative device eliminates the need for soldering, making installation a breeze. It provides a selectable 5V or 12V output to your video transmitter and FPV camera, regardless of the input voltage (2S to 10S). With the capability to power video transmitters up to 1W (EIRP) and charge GoPro cameras, the TBS CORE PNP50 is a must-have for every FPV pilot.

Key Features and Benefits

The included OSD (On-Screen Display) offers real-time information on battery status, flight time, and RSSI. If your setup includes an EzUHF 8ch receiver (either diversity or lite), you can display digital RSSI information using the separate EzUHF link cable. Additionally, the onboard microphone transmits sounds from your aircraft directly to your video transmitter, enhancing your FPV experience.

With a built-in 50A current sensor in a compact form factor, the TBS CORE PNP50 is the ideal companion for your quads and R/C aircraft. The current sensor is pre-calibrated and can be easily adjusted via the OSD. All connectors are plug-and-play, ensuring a hassle-free setup without any soldering required.

Why Choose the TBS Core PNP50?

In summary, the TBS CORE PNP50 simplifies FPV setups and serves as a crucial safety feature for small FPV planes. Say goodbye to unexpected cutouts due to low voltage and the hassle of managing multiple batteries. The streamlined wiring reduces potential points of failure, making your flying experience more enjoyable.

Easy Installation

Installation is straightforward: simply plug your battery into the JST/BEC connector and power all your aircraft's electronics from the other JST/BEC connector. The current sensor automatically measures the current flowing through this cable. Connect your VTx (default 5V) and camera (default 5V) with ease.

Customization Options

The necessary cables for connecting the TBS CORE PNP50 to your camera and video transmitter are included. If you are purchasing the TBS CORE PNP50 separately, you may choose to add these cables for convenience.

To connect your EzUHF 8ch Lite or EzUHF 8ch Diversity receiver to the TBS CORE PNP50, the EzUHF Link cable is required. Please note that the 4ch EzUHF receiver does not provide the link port.

For powering 12V cameras (e.g., FPV CCD cameras) or 12V transmitters, simply open the TBS CORE PNP50's rear four screws and adjust the solder jumpers on the internal board. The solder jumpers are clearly labeled for your convenience.

If you wish to pass external telemetry or audio from an external microphone, you can set the solder jumper for this on the internal board as well. The audio input is the white cable on the CAM port.

Target Audience

The TBS CORE PNP50 is perfect for FPV pilots looking for a reliable and easy-to-install solution for their lightweight aircraft. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced pilot, this product enhances your flying experience by providing essential data and simplifying your setup.
