Operating Instructions
Smart-Switch Dear customer, Congratulations on your decision to purchase the Smart-Switch from our range! This innovative product is the world’s first electronic multi-function switch system, developed and produced by PowerBox Systems GmbH. The unit is designed to switch the receiving system on and off safely and reliably, and to monitor the airborne power supply.
Smart-Switch Operation: The only control on the Smart-Switch is the push-button, which makes it extremely easy to use. All this button does is pass the switch signal to the electronic switch; it has nothing to do with the actual switching of the current. Connect a battery of your choice to the battery lead, which is fitted with a Universal connector (JR, Futaba). The pack may be a four-cell or five-cell NC or NiMH type, or a twocell (7.4 V) LiPo or Li-Ion battery.
Smart-Switch The voltage monitor setting is changed using the sensor button.
Smart-Switch To switch off: hold the sensor button pressed in for about 0.5 seconds until the LED glows orange, then press the button briefly a second time. The LED goes out, and the SmartSwitch is switched off. To switch on: hold the sensor button pressed in for about 0.5 seconds until the LED glows orange, then press the button briefly a second time. The LED glows green, and the switch is on.
Smart-Switch Even though our product is very well protected >from the effects of vibration, the SmartSwitch should always be mounted in a part of the model where vibration levels are relatively low. Please note the following point: The GRP fuselage sides of a large power model are not suitable for mounting the SmartSwitch - nor any other type of switch - as they are always subject to considerable vibration. You can remedy the situation by cutting a ply plate (2.
Smart-Switch 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.
Smart-Switch The guarantee covers proven material faults, which will be corrected by us at no charge to you. Misuse and maltreatment, such as reversed polarity connections, excessive voltage, damp, external mechanical influences or damage (crash damage) or inappropriate mounting (serious vibration) invalidate the guarantee. The guarantee does not cover any additional claims, such as consequent damage.
Smart-Switch We wish you every success using your new Smart-Switch from the PowerBox Systems range, and hope you have loads of fun with it.
