Description

The CUAV HV_PM Power Module serves as the critical interface between your high-voltage drone power system and the Pixhawk V5+ flight controller. It steps down the main battery voltage to a clean, regulated 5V supply capable of delivering up to 5A, ensuring stable power for the autopilot and connected sensors. Its integrated analog sensor circuitry provides real-time battery voltage and current consumption data directly to the flight controller for in-flight telemetry, battery failsafe triggers, and power logging.

Engineered for reliability, the module features robust protection against voltage spikes and is designed for the high-current demands of large multirotor, VTOL, and fixed-wing UAVs. The direct XT60 connection simplifies wiring, reducing potential points of failure in the high-current path. Calibration via ground station software (Mission Planner, QGroundControl) ensures sensor accuracy is tailored to your specific setup.

Key Features

  • High-Voltage Operation: Supports 10-60V input, compatible with 3S up to 14S LiPo and Li-Ion battery packs for extended flight time.
  • Precision Analog Sensing: Delivers voltage accuracy within ±0.1V and current accuracy within ±0.2A for reliable battery monitoring and fuel gauging.
  • High-Current BEC: Integrated 5V switching regulator provides up to 5A continuous output, sufficient for powering flight controllers, GPS modules, and telemetry radios.
  • Pixhawk V5+/Pixhack Compatibility: Connects via the 6-pin POWER port, providing power, voltage, and current signals on a single cable.
  • XT60 Power Connector: Industry-standard high-current connector for secure and reliable battery attachment.
  • Flight Controller ADC Protection: Designed to interface safely with the flight controller's 3.3V analog-to-digital converter, with a maximum detectable current of 60A.

Applications

  • High-voltage, long-endurance fixed-wing UAVs and VTOL aircraft using 6S-14S battery systems.
  • Heavy-lift cinematography and mapping drones requiring precise battery telemetry and high-current power distribution.
  • Pixhawk V5+ based agricultural or industrial drones where reliable power and system monitoring are critical.
  • FPV racing or freestyle builds transitioning to high-voltage setups that require clean, regulated power for flight controllers and peripherals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum battery voltage this CUAV HV_PM module can handle?

The CUAV HV_PM Power Module is rated for an input voltage range of 10V to 60V. This makes it compatible with battery packs from 3S (approx. 12.6V) up to 14S (approx. 58.8V) LiPo configurations. It is designed for high-voltage drone and UAV applications where standard 6S-capable power modules are insufficient.

How do I connect and configure this module with my Pixhawk V5+ flight controller?

Connect the module's XT60 plug to your main battery. Use the included 6-pin cable to connect the module's signal output to the POWER port on your Pixhawk V5+. In your ground station software (Mission Planner/QGroundControl), navigate to the Battery Monitor settings. Select the analog sensor (Sensor 0) and input the calibration parameters: typically a voltage divider ratio of 18 and an amperes per volt value of 24, though these should be verified or calibrated for ultimate accuracy.

Does this power module provide regulated power to the flight controller?

Yes. The HV_PM module integrates a switching BEC (Buck Converter) that outputs a clean, regulated 5V supply. This output can deliver up to 5A of continuous current, which is sufficient to power the Pixhawk flight controller, a GPS module, a telemetry radio, and other 5V peripherals directly, eliminating the need for a separate BEC.

Why is the maximum detectable current limited to 60A?

The current detection limit of 60A is imposed by the flight controller's hardware, not the module itself. Pixhawk flight controllers use a 3.3V analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to read sensor signals. The HV_PM's analog output is scaled so that 60A of current corresponds to the ADC's maximum 3.3V input, ensuring full resolution and preventing sensor saturation or damage to the flight controller's input pins.
