  • Page 1 Booma RC BRC-IS1 Intelliswitch www.boomarc.com...
  • Page 2 Congratulations for choosing the Booma RC Intelliswitch. Intelliswitch is the result of 24 months of design and testing and was designed for giant scale RC and Robotics enthusiasts by a gi- ant scale RC and Robotics enthusiast. Intelliswitch offers features never seen before in Radio Control applications in a compact, light weight and affordable package.
  • Page 3 DO’S DON’TS Intelliswitch comes with 2 completely independent solid state digital switches and is designed to be used with 2 batteries of the same chemistry and capacity for receiver and servo switching. A matched pair of batteries will give best performance. DO NOT use Intelliswitch with batteries of different voltages or different battery chemistries unless you are an advanced user that is aware of the consequences.

  • Page 5: Let's Get Started

    Lets get started Connect both batteries to Intelliswitch (see page 15 for connection details). Do not con- RSET nect Intelliswitch to the receiver just yet. The display will show the letters “RSET”. Intel- liswitch is asking whether you want to reset the battery capacity usage meters which of course you want to after each battery recharge.
  • Page 6 Turning Intelliswitch ON and OFF 1100 Enter 6.61 Intelliswitch is supplied with 2 x fail-safe switches. As long as power is supplied to Intelliswitch it will hold the state of the switch. Intelliswitch also comes with additional protection circuitry to avoid an accidental ON or OFF state. To Switch Intelliswitch ON (after battery con- nection is made) PRESS AND HOLD the GREEN...

  • Page 7: Sleep Mode

    Sleep Mode SLEEP MODE WILL ONLY ACTIVATE WHEN INTELLISWITCH IS IN THE OFF STATE Intelliswitch uses a state-of-the-art low power technology to maxi- mise the life of your batteries. While in the off state Intelliswitch will go into a sleep mode using only 0.4mA to conserve power. You can leave Intelliswitch connected to the batteries however it is advisable to disconnect Intelliswitch from the batteries if storing your model for a long period.

  • Page 11: Battery Selection

    Battery selection Intelliswitch comes pre-calibrated to monitor voltage levels and current consumption of LiFeP04 chemistry batteries. If you are us- ing LiPo or Lion batteries you will need to re-calibrate Intelliswitch. Don’t worry, Intelliswitch is easy to calibrate. IMPORTANT - DO NOT MIX BATTERY CHEMISTRY WHEN USING INTELLISWITCH.

  • Page 13 FACTS Why does one Intelliswitch mA meter show a different consump- tion value to the other? Batteries have an internal resistance. Think of this as a force at- tempting to stop current from flowing out of the battery. Not all batteries have the same internal resistance.
  • Page 14 Using Intelliswitch with a Booma RC DUAL-BAT circuit. The Dual-Bat circuit allows you to safely connect the 2 Intel- liswitch outputs together, effectively isolating the batteries from each other. In a single receiver setup a Dual Bat circuit is a great idea.
  • Page 15 Using Intelliswitch with a voltage regulator Intelliswitch was designed to work with all current RC products regulated and unregulated. If you prefer using LifeP04 chemistry batteries (nominal 6.4v) then Intelliswitch will work excellently in most RC and Robotics applications without a regulator. If you prefer to use newer higher 7.2 volt servos then we recom- mend using Intelliswitch with Lion (nominal 8.2v) or Lipo batteries (nominal 8.4v).
