This doesn't happen anymore with UniPower Spark: with only 2 batteries it generates independent outputs for supplying all on board devices.
And, what is more, it extends the safety of 2 batteries system to all utilities on board, included engine supplying.
Thanks to 2 batteries and double electronic circuits, if one branch of power supplying doesn't work anymore, all outputs will continue to work
normally.
The user can choose among 3 operating modes:
-
Kill Switch function activated with fail safe on
The indicating light LED3 will emit 3 rapid flashes to indicate anomaly .
-
Kill Switch function activated with fail safe off
status. The indicating light LED3 will emit 3 rapid flashes to indicate anomaly .
-
Kill Switch function deactivated
turn the device off.
UniPower Spark
requires 2 batteries for being supplied and
- the first one for supplying receiver and servos. You can choose the output voltage from 5V to 7,4V by rotating the potentiometer on the
device with a small screwdriver ;
- the second one, not stabilized,
(Kill Switch function)
;
- the third one, not stabilized, presents 3 independent lines which can supply 3 devices such as smoke pump, lights, gears, brakes; each line
is protected by a 10A fuse.
Turning on/off is by a button situated on the external panel; on the external panel are located also the three indicating lights allowing you to
check the batteries status of charge, the status of the THR output (engine supplying) and possible anomalies.

Dear customer,
thank you for choosing an Alewings product.
UniPower series supplying units are a great innovation developed by
Alewings and represent a new concept of on board supplying.
V1.0
Medium or big airplanes, both jet and acro, in most cases have
many batteries on board: typically 2 for receiver and servos, 1 for
engine or turbine and others smaller for smokes, landing gears and
electric brakes, lights ecc.. So you have from a minimum of 3 to a
maximum of 6 battery packs on your model and redundancy only
for receiver and servos.

  • Page 2 USAGE Before using UniPower Spark, please choose the device working mode that fits better your needs, referring to “Programming” paragraph. Connect the device as shown into the paragraph “Connections” and set, on the back side of the device, the correct voltage for “RX” output so that it is right for your receiver and servos.
  • Page 3 DEFAULT SETTING UniPower comes with the following default setting: - Operating mode: Kill Switch activated with fail safe ON 7,4V 2S Li.Poly - Type of batteries: : Before starting use you are always suggested to check settings; please proceed as follows: with the device not powered (both batteries must be disconnected), push and keep pushed ON/OFF button and at the same time connect one of the two batteries.
  • Page 4 “RX” Output Adjustable output voltage from 5V to 7.4V Output current up to 30A peak Please see “Cables and connectors” section on www.alewings.con in order to find a connection cable UniPower- receiver suitable for your needs. UniPOWER & UniSERVO You can use UniPower also together with servos managing unit UniSERVO7ADJ. See the connection scheme below.
  • Page 5 Kill Switch control coming from receiver will be checked, in order to verify that it is present and correct. If, when you turn the UniPower Spark on, the signal is not valid (Kill Switch already activated) or is not present, the device starts but enters the alarm status and the indicating light 3 continues to emit sigle flashes;...
  • Page 6 CONNECTION OF THE OUTPUTS AUX Connect all other auxiliary devices you want to supply to the 3 “AUX” outputs: lights, smoke pump, retract landing gears, electronic brakes, starters for smokes. Use the cable provided and pay maximum attention before connecting since outputs are protected by 10A fuses. “AUX”...
  • Page 7 STATUS OF THE BATTERIES Two seconds after turning on, the device starts to check batteries status. Indicating lights flash to indicate batteries residual charge: more the flashes are rapid less is the residual charge of the batteries. If you want to reset the alarm, you have to turn the device off and on again. If the alarm remains, please check connections and measure batteries charge.
