User manual Powerbox Voltage regulator Linear 5.3V

The regulator has proved particularly useful in small to me-
dium-sized xed-wing model aircraft and helicopters, and
for ignition systems. lt can also be used to reduce the vol-
tage to individual servos or other RC system components.
The signal wire is looped through the regulator, enabling
the unit to be used to power individual servos at a reduced
voltage. This arrangement is primarily of interest where the
main RC system power supply is designed for HV servos
(7.4 V), but where one or two servos are not approved for
use at the higher voltage. In this case the non-HV servos
can be plugged into the voltage regulator and used in the
normal way. These are often tail rotor servos or electronic
components such as lighting units, valves etc., which must
be operated at a lower voltage than the other parts cf the
receiving system. The unit can be connected using a Uni,
JR or Futaba connector. Caution! Connecting the battery
plug offset to one side will instantly ruin the regulator.
The JR lead attached to the voltage regulator can be plug-
ged directly into the receiver socket.
If you wish to use a switch in the receiving system power
supply circuit, we recommend that you t it between the
voltage regulator and the battery.
