Powering the AR20410T Receiver
DUAL POWERSAFE INPUT LEADS
The AR20410T is designed to be powered by two matching batteries, up to
3S Li-Po through the two IC3 input leads. The receiver does not regulate the
voltage from the batteries, it will switch between power sources to maintain
the highest voltage possible at all times. The AR20410T is designed to be
powered from the IC3 power input leads by default, which is the recommended
configuration to be able to take advantage of the built-in safety features.
PowerSafe safety features include the power button and fastboot functionality.
Do not connect a battery or an ESC with a BEC to the servo rails when using
the PowerSafe system.
POWERING ON THE AR20410T WITH POWERSAFE
By default, the AR20410T may be powered on from the built-in button on the
receiver case, or with an external power button connected to the switch port
(Sw). Only use the included momentary button for remote switch functionality.
Power button (or remote switch) functionality:
1.
Connect your fully charged (matched) batteries to the IC3 battery connectors.
2.
Hold the button for the system to power on.
3.
Tap, release, then press and hold to power off.
4.
You may leave the batteries connected during a flying session.
5.
For transportation and storage we recommend disconnecting your receiver
batteries after powering the system off.
IMPORTANT: Do not disconnect the batteries from the receiver to power it off
when using the PowerSafe sytem. If you pull power from the receiver without
powering if off first, it will bypass the power button and normal initialization
steps because it is meant as a brownout recovery feature.
SLEEP AND WAKE FROM YOUR TRANSMITTER
Use the quick double tap feature on your transmitter to bring up the sleep
screen. Once updated to the newest firmware, your transmitter will show
options for the receiver as well. You cannot power the receiver on from the
transmitter. Once powered on and connected, you have the option to power
the receiver off or put it to sleep from the airware menu on your Spektrum
transmitter. If the pair are put to sleep together, the transmitter will ask if you
want to wake up the receiver when you wake up the transmitter. The receiver
will display a slow blue flashing LED when in sleep mode.
POWERING THE AR20410T FROM THE SERVO RAIL
If you wish to use an ESC with a BEC (provides voltage to the servo rail from
the flight battery), you must first power the receiver with a battery connected
to an IC3 battery input lead. Power the receiver on with the button, bind
and enter the forward programming menu > PowerSafe Telemetry > Power
Source and change the selection from Battery Ports to Servo Rail. Exit Forward
