2g, the PBR-5XS is ideal for all models where minimum weight is vital. That is why the PBR-5XS is not housed in a case, has no integral sockets, and the circuit board thickness has also been reduced to the absolute minimum.
Ideally this work should be carried out at a suitable ESD (electro-static dischar- ge) workstation. a) Power supply Power is fed to the PBR-5XS via the red (+) and blue (-) solder pads: solder the positive and negative outputs from the speed controller (BEC) or the receiver www.powerbox-systems.com...

The positive and negative servo wires should also be soldered to the red and blue pads. The servo signal wires are soldered to the rear face of the PBR-5XS. The speed controller’s signal wire is also connected on the rear face of the circuit board.
Caution: we strongly recommend that you do not install the receiver inside a carbon fibre fuselage, as it is impossible to guarantee adequate reception in such conditions! 5. SETTINGS The PBR-5XS offers two variable settings, both of which are addressed via the www.powerbox-systems.com...
• Hold / Failsafe: this is set in the Function menu at the transmitter. 6. OPERATIONAL NOTES: By default the PBR-5XS transfers battery voltage and reception quality. The following telemetry values are transmitted: • Power supply voltage: This indicates the voltage present at the red and blue solder pads.
The LQI is a very informative value, as it provides an important indication of the quality of the radio link. If you wish to monitor this value in the most efficient way, set up a widget showing the LQI value on the Telemetry display, and set an alarm threshold of 60% to 70%.
9. SERVICE NOTE We are anxious to offer good service to our customers, and to this end we have set up a Support Forum which deals with all queries concerning our products. This gives you the opportunity to obtain help quickly all round the clock - even at wee- kends.
11. LIABILITY EXCLUSION We are not in a position to ensure that you observe our instructions regarding ins- tallation of PowerBox receivers, fulfil the recommended conditions when using the unit, or maintain the entire radio control system competently. For this reason we deny liability for loss, damage or costs which arise due to the use or operation of PowerBox receivers, or which are connected with such use in any way.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular ins- tallation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: •...

1. L’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage; 2. L’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement. 18. RF EXPOSURE STATEMENT (PORTABLE DEVICE) This device complies with the RF exposure requirements for portable devices. The device is intended for handheld use, with the transmitter antennas kept more than 30mm from the hands in normal use.
