OLED
The X24 has an Organic LED (OLED) screen, which is a high contrast and
bright display. Using this screen along with the three push buttons gives
you the ability to program all of the X24 options.
The OLED screen can be removed from the X24 and remotely located if
desired. A re-location kit (available from XPS) is necessary to do this.
External Switches
There are two inputs for switches, one on each side of the X24. This was
done for wiring installation convenience. You only need one of the two
inputs in order to control the power off/on for the X24. A switch should be a
single contact type, such as a simple momentary push button, slide, or pin &
flag type switch. A switch only needs to handle low current (1mA). The X24
is never actually turned off, instead it is put into a super low power sleep
mode where a 2300mAh supply would last for well over ½ a year before
being fully drained. When you are not using the X24 for extended periods of
time, you should disconnect the main power inputs from the batteries.
Match Power
If you purchased the version of the X24 that has current matching, then the
Match Power input will be used to provide power during the current match
programming. Normally, this input is never used for anything other than the
current matching, however, it can be used as a fully isolated backup power
supply to the main power inputs. Power at this input makes the X24
permanently on, meaning that the switch that controls the power off/on will
have no affect when trying to turn off the X24. A separate switch on this
input would be necessary in order to retain the off/on functionality using
switches. The maximum current input on this port is 5A, which would be
shared across all 24 servo outputs. There is a deliberate .25v drop when
powering from this port.
During normal use do NOT solely power your
model from this port, or any other servo port! Power MUST come
from one or both of the main power inputs!
