Dear customer, we are delighted that you have decided to purchase the PowerBox Sensor power supply from our range. We hope you have many hours of pleasure and great success with your PowerBox Sensor. Product description The PowerBox Sensor provides genuine redundancy in the power supply system, and is in no way inferior to its big brothers in terms of security, as it features two integral, completely independent regulatory and switching systems.
voltage value which occurs during a flight, enabling the pilot to monitor his batteries more accurately. After the flight the minimum value can be read from the LEDs by pressing buttons I and II. FEATURES - double-regulated output voltages for receivers and servos - 5.
Connect a battery of your choice to the battery input, taking care to maintain correct polarity. This can be a 2S (7.4 V) LiPo/LiIon, a 5S NiCd / NiMH battery, or a 2S (6.6 V) LiFePo pack. By default the voltage monitor is set up to work with a LiPo/LiIon battery. We recommend that you use the LiPo/LiIon or LiFePo battery packs which we manufacture. All PowerBox batteries are equipped with appropriate electronic monitor and security circuits, balancer and integral charger.
4. SETTING THE BATTERY INDICATOR If you intend to use a 5S NiCd or NiMH battery, or a 2S LiFePo battery, you must set the voltage monitor correctly, otherwise the LED will constantly flash red. However, this setting has no influence at all on the actual switching process or the stabilising circuits. This is the procedure for setting the various battery types: - Connect both batteries, and switch on the PowerBox Sensor. - Hold the SET-button pressed in, and observe the middle, red LED.
5. MAXIMUM POWER CAPACITY The maximum capacity of the PowerBox Sensor is stated in the specification (3 to 5A), but please note that this does not refer to the maximum performance of the PowerBox Sensor’s voltage regulator, as it varies according to the efficiency of the cooling measures. To achieve good cooling (and therefore high performance) we have fitted a blue anodized heat-sink on the back of the PowerBox Sensor.
