Installation and Mounting Instructions
In this section we will explain how to mount both the Smart Bus and the Smart Display.
The Advanced Radio Smart System gives you the choice of mounting the Smart Screen in
the model or leaving it disconnected for normal flying and connecting the Smart Screen only
when you need to review battery performance. The Smart Bus will operate in norma flying
mode just fine without the Smart Screen Connected.
Smart Screen Mounting Preparation
Included with you new Smart Bus are 3M Velcro
Dots or 3M hook and loop. Either the dots or hook
and loop provide an effective vibration damping
system for mounting the Smart Screen in the select-
ed model.
Before applying the 3M dots, we recommend clean-
ing both surfaces you wish to use the 3M Dots on
with isopropyl alcohol or methylated spirits. Wait a
moment for this to dry.
Mounting the Smart Bus
The Smart Bus is supplied with 4 rubber shock mounts in the base plate, Similar to rubber
mounts on servos, these can be used to give the Smart bus a Shock mount.
Elite and Extreme versions
The Smart Bus Extreme and Smart Bus Plus have a built in digital regulator that uses the
base plate as a heat sink. It is important that the Smart Bus should be mounted so aire
can flow over the base plate to allow effective heat dissipation. We recommend
mounting with minimum standoff spacers of 1/2 inch or 12mm to allow adequate air flow
over the base plate.
Extreme 3S (12.0v) version
The Smart Bus Extreme 3S version is designed to run with 8.4volt servos and is supplied
with active cooling from a high flow fan. This fan MUST have clearance to allow air to
pickup and flow through the Smart Bus. We suggest a mounting strategy of mid fuselage
suspension.
