which point the BEC is now switched-off.
The whole system remembers whether it has been switched-off or modified. If the BEC is
switched-on and the battery is disconnected, then the next time the battery is connected, the BEC
will immediately be switched-on.
For safety and security, the BEC should always be switched-
off via the magnetic switch before disconnecting the battery power.
After connecting the power-supply battery and switching the BEC on via the magnetic switch, the
unit automatically checks the number of connected batteries. The BEC 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.
7. Installation
The BEC 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 BEC 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 BEC, please ensure an adequate flow of
cooling air to allow the heat-sink to dissipate heat.
