FEATURES
 Loud 102dB @2' beeper allows over 100m
range to help locate lost aircraft
 Standalone module functions independent of
crashed A/C
 Self contained LiPo 2S 180mAh battery for
over 24 hours of beeping
 Battery status monitor beeps on power up
 Shutdown below 20% battery capacity
 Beeper triggered from programmed delay
timeout or spare receiver channel
 User programmed delay in multiples of 20
DESCRIPTION
The E2452 is a standalone lost RC aircraft
beacon module which produces a loud
beeping sound after a programmed time
delay has elapsed or when triggered from a
spare receiver channel. The programmed
time delay varies between 1 to 72 times 20
minutes after being powered. This allows
aircraft to be flown for regular flights before
being reset unless the aircraft does not return
in time such as due to a crash. Alternatively,
the beeper can be enabled using a spare
receiver channel prior to the time delay
elapsing. Unlike other lost aircraft beepers,
the E2452 module does not depend on a
possibly non-functional receiver to power

 minutes up to 24 hours
 Programmable delay using spare receiver
channel
 1 second on, 10 seconds off beeper duty
cycle to prolong battery life
 Standard JST/Molex connector for LiPo
battery charging
 Use same beacon in different aircraft
 Conformally coated electronics

the beeper after a crash. The E2452 module
instead uses a self-contained battery to sound a
beeper for 1 second on and 10 seconds off to
prolong battery life for over 24 hours while a
search is in progress. A battery monitor beeps
between one and five times to indicate battery
strength. The modular form also minimizes
the chance for damage after a crash. The
beeper is very loud thus increasing the chances
of recovering an aircraft in dense bush. The
module can be attached and transferred to any
aircraft.

    Battery Status The E2452 includes a 2S 7.4V 180mAh LiPo battery. The battery should be charged before use. Turn the module on by connected the battery JST connector to the module JST connector.
  • Page 5 E2452 Application Information Program & Run Modes After the battery capacity indication, the module will check for either program or run mode. If the delay count needs to be changed, connect a spare receiver channel to the JR connector, and set the associated switch or stick high.
  • Page 6 Expected Range The beeper used in the E2452 has a very high sound output of 104dBA @10cm. Sound is typically measured in decibels or dBs which is the logarithm of the ratio of the measured quantity to a reference.
