The PowerBox PBS-RPM provides accurate rotational speed detection for two-stroke and four-stroke engines up to 10,000 rpm. Installation is simple: wind the sensor lead around one high-voltage ignition lead. It is Plug'n'Play for the CORE telemetry system and switchable for Jeti, M-Link, and HoTT via the PowerBox Terminal program.
Compact and lightweight at just 5g, the sensor supports PowerBox, Jeti, Multiplex, Graupner, and Futaba systems. Note: not compatible with DA70 engines.

Frequently asked questions
How do I install the PBS-RPM?
Wind the sensor lead around one high-voltage ignition lead of the engine. The field strength of the high voltage provides rotational speed information to the sensor.
Which telemetry systems are supported?
The PBS-RPM supports PowerBox Core P²BUS, Jeti EX-Bus, Multiplex M-Link, Graupner HoTT, and Futaba S.BUS2.
Can the PBS-RPM be used with a DA70 engine?
No, the RPM pickup cannot be used with a DA70 engine.
What is the maximum RPM the sensor can detect?
The sensor can detect rotational speeds up to 10,000 rpm.
