This process only takes a few seconds, and is designed to eliminate the danger of
accidental changes to the setting. In any case it only has to be carried out once, as
your selected battery type is permanently stored in the
PowerBox
’s EEPROM.
d) Reading out the minimum value memory
The minimum value memory shows you the extent to which the battery voltage
collapsed during the last flight. Control surfaces with a tendency to jam, stiff
linkages, or simply batteries which fade under load may be the cause of any
problem in this respect. Please make it part of your routine to read out this minimum
value memory after every flight, as this enables you to detect any weakness in the
system before the next flight.
The method of calling up the memory is simple:
After the flight, press both switch buttons I and II simultaneously, and hold them
pressed in as long as you like. The LED which now lights up indicates the lowest
voltage value which occurred during the flight. The memory does not record voltage
collapses which were of very short duration; only those lasting longer than one
second.
