It is important to bear in mind that high G-forces and severe vibration can
occur in our models. This means that the mounting surface has to be capable
of withstanding several times the weight of the battery. The three-point arran-
gement of the mounting frame’s retaining screws allows the
PowerPak
to be
installed on surfaces which are not absolutely flat.
The
PowerPak
is connected to the consumer unit using the patch leads (MPX
/ JR or MPX / MPX) supplied in the set. It is important that no substantial
length of cable should lie loose in the model, as this could place mechanical
strain on the connections.
Connections for the two versions -
ECO
(left) and
PRO
(right):
Note:
PowerPaks
are available in
2s
form for receiver power supplies, and in
3s
form for turbine power supplies.
Do not confuse the two versions! If you accidentally connect a
PowerPak x3
to a receiver, the high voltage will destroy the electronics. To help you diffe-
rentiate between the versions, the front of the
PowerPak x3
is marked
