This battery powers the motors and the brakes. The controller have a internal switch
operated by the
Gear Input
power. It is not necessary to disconnect this battery between
uses, but it is recommended to disconnect it after the flying session. There is a minimal
power drawn from this battery when the unit is switched off that can drain a battery in a
2 month period.
In the case you use battery regulators
a)
The steering servo is powered by same supply as on the steering input (
Steer In
). So,
for example, if the steering input comes from a battery regulator (powerBox, etc) at
6V and the
Gear In
channel comes directly from the receiver powered at 5V, the
steering servo will be powered at 6V.
b)
The outputs to the servos for the doors are powered from the
Gear Input
socket. If
you connect directly the gear input to a low power source (for example, directly to
the receiver when the receiver is powered by a low power, 5V regulator) the current
draw by the servos of the doors could be excessive, causing the receiver to switch
off.
c)
The power input pin of the
Gear
and
Brake
inputs are internally connected together.
This could cause a malfunction by connecting different voltages together. For
example, if you connect the
Gear Input
directly to the receiver that is powered at 5V
and the
brake input
to a battery regulator that supply 6V, then the 6V supply will
flow trough the unit to the receiver, being no longer powered at 5V by a
independent regulator. In this case, it is necessary to cut the central wire (red) on the
lead from
Gear In
to the receiver to prevent the voltage present at
Brake In
to reach
the receiver. The controller and the door servos will be powered by the power
arriving to the
brake input
.
All negative (ground) connections are connected together inside the unit. Always fully
disconnect the batteries (both poles) from the installation before charging, as current
can flow trough the unit from one battery to the other during charge, damaging the
installation.
Please contact to Xicoy Electronica for advice on particular installations.
SETUP
Once you have installed the controller in your model, you can adjust the radio, outputs,
delays and steering servo.
