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. Ho-
wever, 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.
- The LED first light up red, then go out again after a few moments.
- Pause, keep the button pressed in.
- The LEDs flash red once. If you release the button now, the battery type “2S
LiPo” is selected.
- Pause, keep the button pressed in.
- The LEDs flash red twice. If you release the button now, the battery type “5S
NiMH” is selected.
- Pause, keep the button pressed in.
- The LEDs flash red three times. If you release the button now, the battery type
“2S LiFePo” is selected.
This procedure does take a few seconds, but it is designed to eliminate the risk of
changing the setting accidentally. In any case, it only has to be carried out if you
switch to a different battery type. The setting is stored permanently in the two
micro-controllers.
