Dear PowerBox customer, Congratulations on your decision to install a PowerBox Pioneer in your model. This unit is currently the most modern integrated power management system available anywhere in the model world. The Pioneer offers full telemetry capability in additi- on to a high-performance power supply featuring electronic switches.

basic system is Plug ‘n’ Play, and no further adjustments are required to operate it. This does not apply if an iGyro SAT is installed, or if you wish to change the frame rate or the capacity reset channel. Users of Core and Jeti systems have the facility to carry out all adjustments at the transmitter.

Plug the switch into the appropriate socket. As an option, the Pioneer is supplied with a button switch or a MicroMag magnetic switch. The method of operating the button switch is the same for all PowerBox systems: press the button until the LED starts to flash green at a high rate. Release the button for a moment, then press the button again briefly: the LED now lights up solid green to indicate that it is switched on.

In turbinepowered models the iGyro SAT should be located as far as possible from the engine in order to prevent turbine noise influencing the sensor. The lead attached to the iGyro SAT can be extended to any length. The iGyro SAT should be connected to the Pioneer’s FastTrack input.
2. BASIC SETTINGS If you are not using an iGyro with the PowerBox Pioneer, only a few settings have to be entered. You will find all the settings either in the transmitter menu (CORE, Jeti) or the Mobile App and the PC program.
d) Failsafe This menu is used to select an output which will move to a pre-defined servo po- sition if the radio signal is lost. Always use this function for Throttle. It is a legal requirement in many countries! Select the output you wish to use, and set the Failsafe mode to Failsafe. Pressing the Teach button stores the current servo positions for all outputs for which Fail- safe has been set.

b) an already test-flown model - Assign the gyro outputs - Learn the installed position - Learn the centre and end-points - Adjust the iGyro in flight using the gain control - Fine-tune the individual axes if necessary - Store the established gain value on a switch As you can see, while you are carrying out basic adjustments to a new model, or test-flying a new model without the gyro, no adjustments of any kind are required at the iGyro SAT or the Pioneer.
