The difference between the Digi-Switch and the Smart-Switch
The Digi-Switch features a linear IC-controlled regulator which maintains the voltage for
the consumer units - receiver and servos - at a constant 5.5 Volts, regardless of the battery
to which you connect it. Externally the Digi-Switch is distinguished by the black heat-sink on
the front face, and the silver heat-sink on the rear of the housing.
The Smart-Switch does not feature an integral regulator, i.e. the input voltage from the
connected battery simply passes through it just like any other switch; the voltage is not
regulated or reduced in any way. For this reason, if the Smart-Switch is connected to LiPo
cells, it must not be used in conjunction with a receiving system which is designed for max.
6.0 Volts, as this would subject the receiver and servos to an input voltage which could be
as high as 8.4 Volts. Externally you can distinguish the Smart-Switch by the blue heat-sink
on its front face; there is also no heat-sink on the rear of the housing.
For your receiver power supplies we particularly recommend our own make of batteries: the
PowerBox Battery 2800 or PowerBox Battery 1500. These packs feature an integral
electronic monitor / security circuit to ensure reliable charging, and each battery is supplied
complete with a practical mounting frame.
We are also delighted to make up NC or NiMH batteries to your own specification.
If a separate charge lead is fitted to the battery, you can safely leave the Smart-Switch
connected to the pack while it is on charge, but it must be in the switched-off state.
Important: switch the Smart-Switch off!
During the in-house production process each Smart-Switch undergoes a series of tests.
We take the maintenance of high quality standards very seriously, and this includes bought-
in items. That is why we are able to grant a 24 month guarantee on all our battery backer
and switch systems.
