PowerSafe Telemetry Receiver Manual

Mounting the Remote Receivers

Orientation of the Remote Receivers

Mount the remote receivers in a location that allows for the best possible

signal reception when the aircraft is in all possible orientations. Three remote

receivers are included with the AR10400T and four are included with the

AR14400T and AR20400T, we recommend having one mounted with the

antennas oriented vertically, one horizontally in-line with the fuselage and one

horizontally perpendicular to the fuselage.

Locating the Remote Receivers

Find locations for the remote receivers as far from each other and metal,

electronics, carbon ﬁber, batteries or fuel as possible. Mount the remote

receivers securely in your aircraft, and plug them into the receiver ports.

A remote must be connected to remote port A, and at least 2 remotes must

be connected to the receiver for the receiver to connect to the transmitter and

output to the servos.

Greater antenna separation improves path diversity (RF link performance) in

critical environments. Do not extend remote receivers greater than 36" from

the main receiver.

If remote receivers are added to the system or if the remote receiver setup is

changed after initial binding, the system must be re-bound.

At minimum 1 - SPM4651T remote receiver must be installed (one is included

in every receiver) to have full range telemetry.

Battery Requirements

Battery Voltage

Select a battery for your system based on your servo selection. Ensure your

servos are rated to handle the voltage you intend to run. The low voltage

threshold for the receiver is 3.5 volts. We recommend selecting a battery rated

between 6.0 and 10.0 volts to leave a buffer under heavy loads. If input voltage

is above the 10.0 volt threshold the reciever will not connect power to the

servos. LiPo, LiIon, LiFe, NiMH, and NiCAD batteries may be used, but we do

not recommend using 4 cell NiMH or NiCAD batteries.

Voltage Regulators

Regulators may be used to supply power to the receiver. They provide a

consistant voltage supply under varying current loads. If you are using two

batteries with regulators, each battery needs to have its own dedicated

regulator plugged into separate battery ports on the receiver.

When installation is complete, we recommend thoroughly testing the batteries

under load to verify they can sustain the demands, before commiting the

aircraft to ﬂight.
