AR12120 PowerSafe User Guide

The Spektrum AR12120 PowerSafe™ offers the ultimate solution for powering 

high-current draw radio systems. In aircraft with multiple high-current draw servos 

(e.g. giant-scale aircraft, jets, etc.), the AR12120 PowerSafe can provide peak 

current of up to 50 amps and offers true dual battery redundancy and a fail-on soft 

switch for the ultimate in reliability. By locating up to four remote receivers throu-

ghout the aircraft, the RF link can be optimized in even the most demanding aircraft 

installations that have significant conductive materials like carbon, stainless steel 

bypass tubes, tuned exhausts, etc. For models high in carbon fiber content the 

SPM9646 DSMX Carbon Fiber Remote Receiver is compatible with the AR12120. 

Applications

• Giant-scale aircraft 

• Jets with multiple high-current draw servos 

•  Scale aircraft with multiple high-current draw servos and accessories (e.g. 

lights, ESCs, air valves, etc.)

• Scale helicopters

Features

•  True dual battery redundancy—each battery is isolated and if one fails/shorts 

the other takes over.

•  Utilizes up to four remote receivers for the ultimate RF link in even the most 

demanding applications. 

•  Up to 35 amps continuous and 50 amps peak current handling capability

• Fail-on soft switch in case the switch is damaged

•  Two types of failsafe—SmartSafe

 (throttle only) and preset failsafe (all servos)

•  QuickConnect—if a power interruption (brownout) occurs, the system  

reconnects in less than 1/2 second

• Flight Log compatible

•  Heavy 16AWG dual battery leads with pre-wired E-flite

®

 EC3

 connectors

•  Compatible with all Spektrum

 and JR

®

 full range radio and module systems 

• 2048 resolution

• X Plus

 compatible

Important 

The PowerSafe main unit is not a receiver. The PowerSafe’s main unit is a power 

distribution center that provides up to 35-amps continuous and 50-amps peak 

current to power your system. Through extensive testing our engineers discovered 

that mounting the receiver in the typical location in sophisticated aircraft (an air-

craft with many high-current draw servos and/or conductive materials), at the end 

of the servo and battery leads, is not the optimum location to provide the clearest 

RF signal. The AR12120 PowerSafe uses up to four (a minimum of three are 

required) remotely mounted receivers that can be optimally placed in your aircraft 

providing the best possible RF link in the most demanding conditions.
