Page 3 RB02, Rocket Beeper Description The RB02 has several advantages over other acoustic rocket finders. As shown in the block diagram, the RB02 has a DC-to-DC converter that boosts the nominal 3.7 volts from a typical single cell lithium battery to 12 volts. This means that the beeper will always operate at its optimum voltage and produce a loud tone.
Page 4 RB02, Rocket Beeper Note the polarity of the battery connector (J1 on the circuit board). Lithium batteries with JST PH2 connectors do not all have the positive and negative in the same place. Check your battery to be sure the positive (red) and negative (black) are on the correct sides.
