Specifications Power Batteries 2 x1.5V AAA Alkaline cells (For heavy use at a race event, it is good to have at least one space set) TNR (Touch’n’Race) NFC Standard ISO 15693 Range Approx 10mm with correctly mounted TNR Tag User Interface Display 128 x 64 OLED, 0.96” Pass/Fail Indicator 24-bit RGB LED Introduction The ImmersionRC TNR Mini-Wand is a unique touch-free tool for programming video transmitters for FPV Racing.
Touch’N’Race (TNR) for Casual Use When arriving at a local park, and asking what frequencies other pilots are using, a TNR wand may be used to safely set a Tramp HV, or other TNR-equipped quad to an unused frequency, and appropriate power level. Programming quads for a race is easy, using the ‘Heat’ mode of the wand. Pre-configure the frequency and power level of each pilot ‘slot’ to meet local regulations, and then quickly wand each quad before flight to ensure that they are on the chosen frequencies.
Using the Wand - Personal Edition The TNR wand is operated using a joystick and the Program button. The joystick navigates within the on-screen menu. The Program button executes the action selected on-screen. The power button powers-up the wand, and an automatic shut-down turns it off after 5 minutes idle time (or optionally via the menu). Program Power Main Menu > Fly Setup Status Power Off Fly Menu The Fly Menu is the most commonly used for casual use.
Set Freq Menu Set Freq/Pwr IRC CH1 5740MHz@25mW Program button to set the frequency. Left/Right stick to select frequency. Up/Down to select power level. Press joystick to go back to the Fly menu. Start Heat Menu Start Heat Pilot #1 Race 1 5658 25 mW Program button to set the pilot’s frequency. Left/Right stick to select pilot. Press joystick to go back to the Fly menu. Get Freq Menu Get current freq. IRC CH1 Norm: 5740MHz@ 25mW Program button to get the current frequency.
Nbr of Pil(ot) Menu Set the number of pilots in the heat. Each with a pre-programmed frequency and power level Number of Pilots 8 Joystick up/down to change the number of pilots in the heat. | Press joystick to go back to the Fly menu. Pilot Freq Set the power level and frequency for each pilot in a heat. Note that this only needs to be done once, to set-up frequency and power limits for each pilot in a heat. Use the Start Heat menu to quickly program transmitters between heats.
Check Com(munication) menu This option allows the complete communication path between wand, NFC tag, and Tramp to be tested. Very useful in a race event where a cabling problem is suspected. This tests that the Tramp is powered, the cable to the tag is intact, and not broken in any way, and that the tag is fully operational and has not been damaged. Program button performs the test. Press the joystick to leave the menu. Get Tx Ver(sion) Read the firmware version that is running in the Tramp HV.
Regional Locking In order to ensure that our hobby/sport remains legal worldwide, ImmersionRC, and it’s resellers, are forced to follow certain rules regarding use of the radio spectrum. Because of this, there are three variants of the Tramp HV (and other ImmersionRC products that emit RF). Resellers may choose which of these they sell to different regions. 1) International version, most commonly used frequencies in the 5.
Bands, Channels, and Frequencies It is highly recommended to understand the rules and regulations in your country before using any video transmitter. Transmitting outside a legal band is something frowned upon by the authorities, and may result in a fine, or confiscation of equipment. As a rule of thumb, the following charts should help understand which frequencies are legal in each of our main markets.
Firmware Updates In the unlikely event that the firmware in your mini-wand requires an update, use the following procedure: 1) Power down the wand 2) Hold down the Program button and connect via USB to a Windows/OSx PC 3) Download the firmware from the mini-wand page on the ImmersionRC Website 4) Install the firmware using the Vortex Configurator chrome app Revision History V1.0.
