Applications
Important
The PowerSafe Evolution main unit is not a receiver. The PowerSafe Evolution’s main unit is a power distribution center that provides up to 20-amps
current to power your system. Through extensive testing our engineers discovered that mounting the receiver in the typical location in sophisticated
aircraft (an aircraft 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 AR9200 PowerSafe Evolution uses three remotely mounted receivers that can be optimally placed in your aircraft
providing the best possible RF link in the most demanding conditions.

Features
Spektrum’s AR9200 PowerSafe
™
Evolution 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 AR9200
PowerSafe Evolution can provide peak current of up to 20 amps (Each
battery input is regulated independently to 5.9 volts, and each regulator
is capable of handling 10 amps (2 x 10 A)) and offers true dual battery
redundancy and a fail-on soft switch for the ultimate in reliability. By
locating three remote receivers throughout 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.
• True dual battery redundancy—each battery is isolated and if one
fails/shorts the other takes over.
• Utilizes three remote receivers for the ultimate RF link in demanding
applications.
• Up to 20 amps peak current handling capability
• SensorSwitch fails-on if the switch is damaged or disconnected
• SensorSwitch indicates battery condition.
• Minimum voltage memory indicates any voltage drops that occur
during flight.
• Dual Regulated output voltage (5.9V)
• Large heat sink area for high performance.
• Three voltage indicator LED’s per battery input and three battery
voltage indicator LED’s on the SensorSwitch.
• Support for three battery types: LiPo, NiMH / NiCd, and LiFePo.
• Suppression of any servo feedback currents which might occur.
• 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-duty dual battery inputs with MPX connectors. (Adapters to
EC3 connectors and Deans Ultra connectors are available separately.)
• Compatible with all Spektrum
™
and JR
®
full range radio and
module systems
• 2048 resolution
