3. FIRST STEPS, THE UNIT IN USE
a) Connections
- First plug in all the servos to the desired channels. The channel assignment is
left up to you; for example, input 4 corresponds to output 4.
- Connect the receiver to the PowerBox Evolution using the six patch-leads sup-
plied in the set. Power is fed to the receiver via these leads.
- Now connect the SensorSwitch to the appropriate socket on the unit, ensuring
that the ribbon cable faces up as shown. In models subject to severe vibration
we recommend that you secure the ribbon lead by at least one additional point
to avoid the connector working loose. If the connector were to fall out, it would
have no effect on the switched state of the backer, but would prevent you swit-
ching the system off.
- The optional ultra-bright external LEDs can now be connected to the unit. We
urge you to connect them and mount them in the fuselage side, as they enable
you to detect battery problems when the model is flying.
- The final step is to connect the batteries to the backer's integral MPX connec-
tors. We recommend the use of batteries or 1500 mAh or 2800 mAh capacity
from PowerBox-Systems. If you prefer to use other makes of battery, or wish to
make up your own packs, it is absolutely essential to maintain correct polarity.
- Check twice rather than make a mistake! Connecting a battery with reversed
polarity will instantly ruin the backer's regulators. In order to minimise power
losses, the backer does not feature reverse polarity protection. The + (positive)
indicator can be seen on the case cover.
