2. FIRST USE, OPERATING THE SWITCH

2.1. CONNECTIONS

Connect a battery of your choice to the battery input, taking care to maintain cor-

rect polarity. This can be a 4S (

SmartSwitch

 only) or 5S NiCd / NiMH battery, a 2S 

(7.4 V) LiPo / Li-Ion or a 2S (6.6 V) LiFePo pack.

By default the voltage monitor is set up to work with a LiPo battery.

We recommend that you use the LiPo or LiFePo battery packs which we manu-

facture. All 

PowerBox batteries

 are equipped with appropriate electronic monitor 

and security circuits, balancer and integral charger. All our batteries are supplied 

complete with a practical mounting frame of the correct size.

CAUTION:

 connecting the battery with reversed polarity will instantly ruin the in-

tegral linear regulator!

2.2. SWITCHING ON AND OFF

The 

Digi-

 and 

SmartSwitch

 features a single button, and is therefore particularly 

user-friendly; this button is even employed to set the battery type to be used. The 

button transmits the switching signal to the electronic switch, but has nothing to 

do with the actual process of switching the current.

The unit is switched on by pressing the sensor button (0.5 sec.), and holding it pres-

sed in until the LED glows orange. Release the button briefly, then press it a second 

time. The LED now glows green, and the unit is switched on.
