INSTRUCTION MANUAL
-10-
The switch is designed to be mounted on the fuselage of your model. When the key is offered to the
switch, the green LED will flash and after approximately 1 second, the LED will be continuously lit,
indicating that the MAXBEC2D is now active.
For de-activating the MAXBEC2D, the same principles apply. Offer the key to the switch in the
correct orientation. The green LED will flash and after approximately 1 second, the LED will go out,
at which point the MAXBEC2D is now switched-off.
The whole system remembers whether it has been switched-off or modified. If the MAXBEC2D is
switched-on and the battery is disconnected, then the next time the battery is connected, the
MAXBEC2D will immediately be switched-on.
For safety and security, the MAXBEC2D should
always be switched-off via the magnetic switch before disconnecting the battery power.
After connecting the power-supply battery and switching the MAXBEC2D on via the magnetic
switch, the unit automatically checks the number of connected batteries. The MAXBEC2D
acknowledges a battery connection if the input voltage on either input exceeds 1 volt. If at any time
the input voltage drops below 1 volt, then an error message 'X input error' is displayed, where X is A
or B, to indicate on which input the problem was detected. The error condition remains until the unit
is switched-off and the battery is disconnected.
Always follow the same procedure when switching on/off. To switch-on, first connect the
batteries and then use the magnetic switch to activate the unit. To switch-off, always use the
magnetic switch to turn-off the unit before disconnecting the batteries.

Installation
The MAXBEC2D can be mounted in your model using the 4 mounting holes on the unit, along with
the rubber-grommets to reduce vibrations. The magnetic switch offers two mounting holes and the
upper-lid (or face-plate) should be used as a mounting template for this part of the unit. The latter is
designed to be mounted on the outside of the unit, being mechanically secured by the screws
included. This allows for easy switching on/off of the MAXBEC2D and at the same time allows good
visibility of the green and red LED's on the face-plate of the switch.
To ensure safe and reliable operation of your MAXBEC2D, please ensure an adequate flow of
cooling air to allow the heat-sink to dissipate heat.

Firmware Update
The equipment firmware may be updated by a PC via the converter unit JETI USB Adapter. In the
USB Adapter instructions you will find a description of the installation procedure of the USB
Adapter controller as well as the update program.

Safety Precautions for the Manipulation of Magnets
Since the MAXBEC2D contains magnetic components, it is necessary to follow some simple rules
for the handling of magnets. The magnet is contained within a special holder made of aluminium.
