  • Page 2: Introduction

    ENGLISH 1 Introduction The Central Box is a switchboard designed for the complete management of servos in a model with an emphasis on safety. The Central Box has a unique design that provides overload protection at each servo output. The Central Box can manage two batteries and fully supports the JETI EX telemetry system.
  • Page 3: Attributes

    Possibility to connect up to 2 receivers with serial interface (PPM, EX Bus) • Built-in Expander function for up to 3 sensors • Input for magnetic switch or RC switch (Central Box 200 only) • MPX battery input connector(s): 1x Central Box 100, 2x Central Box 200 •...
  • Page 4 The Ext1 slot is also used for the firmware update connection (using the USBa). Rx1 - primary input for connecting receivers with serial output (EX bus or PPM) Rx2 - secondary (backup) input for connecting receivers with serial output (EX bus or PPM) Switch input is reserved for connecting a magnetic switch or RC switch (optional accessories).

    2.3 Magnetic switch ( Central Box 200 only) The magnetic switch is used to turn the Central Box 200 on or off and is connected to a separate slot labeled “Switch”. To turn on the Central Box using the magnetic switch it is necessary to hold the...
  • Page 7: Connection

    When turning on, connect the batteries first and then turn the system on via magnetic switch. Keep the same rule when switching off. First switch the system off via magnetic switch and then disconnect the batteries. 3 Connection The Central Box is connected to the power supply, receiver, servos, controller/controllers and eventually sensors.

  • Page 11: Connecting Central Box - Ppm Variant

    Channels 14 and 15 can be configured as servo outputs, or as inputs for telemetry sensors ( Central Box 200 only) Configuring the Central Box is in this way done by using a JETIBOX; either directly connected to the Central Box, or wirelessly using a JETI transmitter.

    SERVO/Sensor 4-14V SERVO Fig. 10: Block diagram of Central Box 200 connection - PPM variant 3.4 Connecting Central Box – EX Bus variant Receivers can be connected to the Central Box using the Rx1 and Rx2 inputs. Ext1 is an input for telemetry sensor. Telemetry is transmitted to the receivers via EX Bus.
  • Page 13 SERVO/Sensor 4-14V SERVO Fig. 12: Block diagram of Central Box 200 connection - EX Bus variant The Central Box can be configured in two ways: • by JETIBOX connection (directly to the Central Box or wirelessly via the transmitter) •...
  • Page 14: Configuration Via Jetibox

    4 Configuration via JETIBOX The JETIBOX terminal can be used for parameter setting and retrieving data. After connecting to the Central Box (output Ext1), a startup screen appears that contains identification of the device in the first line of the JETIBOX display. The second line contains the data showing the consumed capacity of batteries 1 and 2.
  • Page 15: Actual Values

    4.1 Actual values *CENTRAL BOX*: Actual Value – by pushing the D button (down arrow) you select the display of actual measured values • Accu voltage - shows the actual voltage of both inputs • Accu current - displays the actual current flowing from the battery to the output •...
  • Page 16: Setting

    • Min/Max Temper. - the highest and the lowest temperature of the Central Box during its operation (since the last manual reset) Statistics of the received signal expressed in time R1: how long was the signal from the primary receiver available to the Central Box R2: how long was the signal from the secondary receiver available to the Central Box...

  • Page 19: Service Information

    4.6 Service information *CENTRAL BOX*: SERVICE – pushing the D button (down arrow) moves you to the display of the firmware version and the menu for restoring the default settings of the Central Box. • PresetToSetup – pushing arrows R and L (right and left) together leads to loading the default settings of the Central Box.
  • Page 20: Configuration Via The Dc/Ds Transmitter

    Configuration via the DC/DS transmitter The Central Box can be configured by a DC/DS transmitter via the Device Explorer menu. It is necessary to follow these rules for configuring the Central Box via transmitter: - Receiver firmware version Duplex 3.12 and newer (with setting Output mode->EX Bus) - The receiver must be connected to the Central Box via EX bus - Transmitter firmware version 2.02 and newer + the device...
  • Page 21: General Settings

    5.1 General Settings • Output Period – setting for the period of the output signals (default Auto-synchronous mode with the transmitter). This parameter significantly affects the behavior of the servos. For analog servos the reaction (response) accelerates and the power consumption is higher when the values for the output period are lower.
  • Page 22: Fail-Safe

    5.2 Fail-Safe • Fail Safe – switches on/off the Fail Safe function. If the Fail Safe function is deactivated, there is no signal generated in any Central Box outputs at the signal loss. If you activate the Fail Safe function, you can also select how the Central Box responds at signal loss for each of the individual outputs (OUT off, hold fail safe)..
