AFETY NOTES
! Read the instructions before use.
! Use only for the intended application (
! Observe the installation notes (
! Always check correct connector orientation and polarity /
pin assignment - even when using commercial con-
nector systems. Never connect the components with
reversed polarity!
! A low idle current flows even when the safety switch
( 4) is at the OFF position. For this reason always dis-
connect the flight battery from the AntiFlash 70 after a
session or when storing the model, even if a safety
switch is fitted! This will prevent any danger of deep-
discharging the flight battery.

! CAUTION when using a current sensor:
If the AntiFlash 70 (with or without a supplementary
safety switch) is used together with a MULTIPLEX cur-
rent sensor, then it is ESSENTIAL to fit the current
sensor between the speed controller and the AntiFlash
70: see Fig. 8.
Connecting the current sensor between the flight battery
and the AntiFlash 70 will ruin the current sensor!

PPLICATION
3.1 AntiFlash 70 (with and without M6 connector system)
Even when the operating voltage of an electric model is as low
as about 10 V, a spark is generated when the flight battery is
connected. Sparking can damage the connector contacts, and
after a while the electrical connection may no longer be reliable
(increased contact transfer resistance, voltage loss, heat build-
up, mechanical faults).
The AntiFlash 70 is installed between the speed controller and
the flight battery, and prevents this unwanted sparking.
3.2 Safety switch for AntiFlash
It is also possible to combine the AntiFlash 70 with a safety
switch, which should be installed in or on the model at an
easily accessible position.
This switch makes it possible to connect the flight battery safe-
ly, without sparking, and only then to "arm" the electric power
system.
Two variants of the safety switch are available; see (

NSTALLATION
5.1 AntiFlash 70 without connector system
Preparation:
! Note:
Soldering is required before this product can be used.
The soldered joints must be carried out competently, as
the reliable operation of the system depends upon them.
For this reason:
• Use only electronic-grade solder.
• Do not use acid-based soldering flux.
• Heat the parts sufficiently, but not excessively.
• If you are unsure, ask a modeller with experience of sol-
dering to help you.
! Caution:
It is essential to use high-current cable of adequate
conductor cross-section (at least 6.0 mm²) with the
AntiFlash 70 (# 8 5190)! For better heat dissipation, never
solder connectors directly to the AntiFlash 70 (# 8 5190).
Instead solder the cables to the circuit board of the
AntiFlash 70 (# 8 5190), and attach high-current con-
nectors to these cables in turn. A cable length of a few
cm is sufficient.
Lay the AntiFlash 70 on the workbench as shown in Fig. 1.
Attach the two battery leads to the end marked BATT in Fig.
