The power supply system consists of no less that 8 separate power circuits which can be independently set to a value of 4.8 or 6 Volts and which
can deliver a constant 32 Amps. at 6 Volts with a 50 Amp. Burst rating. The voltage regulators are cooled by anodised milled aluminium heat-sinks
located on the bottom of the unit.

A further aim was to incorporate a system whereby various data could be stored during the flight to be later recalled for analysis. We have achieved
this by incorporating a flash drive using an SD Micro card into the receiver and a similar system in the transmitter module to record the data sent
back from the receiver.
2.4 GHz technology allows information regarding the telemetry and system information to be transmitted back to the transmitter and by using our
GigaControl Software you can follow the flight on your PC in real time.
We also wanted to use the latest technology to make flying large expensive models not only safer but also to assist the pilot in flying them. This has
been achieved with our 2.4 Dual FHSS 12-22 R Gyro II, 2.4 Dual FHSS 12-22 R Gyro III, 2.4 Dual FHSS 12-22 R Gyro III + GPS und 2.4 Dual FHSS 12-
30 R Gyro III + GPS receivers by incorporating a 2 or 3 channel state of the art Gyro. These Gyros are extremely temperature stable and can operate
in Normal or Heading Hold mode. The rate can be set via the software or from the transmitter and can be assigned to any channel.
The receiver outputs can be freely assigned to any transmitter output and up to 8 servos can be synchronised if they are connected to the same control
surface simply by a click of the mouse. The full description of all of the functions which can be set using the GigaControl software are fully described
in Para. 10.

9.4 The on/oFF switching board
The ON/OFF switching board is fitted with 2 LEDs, 1 red (labelled "Battery") and 1 green (labelled "Status") which provide information regarding the
condition of the receiver battery. The Dual receiver itself is equipped with 3 LEDs, 2 of which (red for "Battery" and green for "Status") mirror the
LEDs on the ON/OFF switching board, and there meaning and an explanation of the flashes which they omit is shown in Annex 3. The 3rd yellow LED
indicates that information is been written to the SD Micro card. On the rear side of the switching board are 2 sockets for further LEDs.
9.5 Binding the transmitter to a Dual receiver
You can bind as many receivers as are required to each transmitter module/transmitter as each transmitter module transmits an individual code, of
which there are millions, to the receiver which must store the code before it will become 'live'. This makes it impossible for more than one weatronic
receiver to react to a weatronic transmitter module at the same time.
Before a wWeatronic transmitter module and a weatronic Dual 2.4 Dual FHSS series receiver can communicate with each other they must be bonded
together (Quick Binding). During this binding process the receiver will receive and store the code transmitted by the transmitter module and the
